Carnival of Career Intensity - Aug. 11, 2007

Posted by Dave Lorenzo - Business Coach

Welcome to the August 11, 2007 edition of Carnival of Career Intensity.

Bhupendra Khanal presents Are you really paid enough? posted at Analytics Bhupe, saying, “Always work for yourself and keep yourself happy, and never compromise on anything while you work.”

Jack Yoest presents Close the Sale: Make the Pain Worse posted at Yoest.com, saying, “30% of people admitted to a hospital’s emergency room feel no pain. There might be a sucking chest wound or a missing limb, but nothing hurts. An anesthesiologist will still administer an anesthetic not only for the pain, which might come eventually, but to also still the patient. To keep the patient quiet, sedated, compliant. So even though the patient was not in pain, he still got a pain relieving solution. Sales is sometimes the same way. A solution to the customer’s problem should be provided even if the patient customer feels no pain. So how does the professional sales representative sell when there is no pain?”

Anna Farmery presents Talent is Like Chocolate posted at The Engaging Brand.

Warren Wong presents 8 Starting a New Job Tips posted at Personal Development for INTJs, saying, “Are you starting a new job? Here are some tips based on my own experiences.”

Charles H. Green presents Deer in the Headlights Decison-Making > Trusted Advisor Associates > Trust Matters posted at Trust Matters, saying, “When faced with surprise sebacks the way most people react is to just do the same thing - they freeze, and can’t adapt. Some people, however, can. Why?”

Adam presents Weekend Entrepreneur: If You Really Want Something Done, Find a Busy Person To Do It posted at Queercents, saying, “If you really want something done fast you should find a busy person to do it. At first it seems counterintuitive to seek busy people to get things done but another colleague of mine… said that he has noticed couples have children and then suddenly, seemingly without warning, complete major projects such as their graduate or doctorate programs. Striving for balance presents, or reinforces, an odd paradox. The notion of balance requires the presence of opposites. Opposites suggest the presence of competition. Work is the opposite of play. Career is the opposite of family. I’ve been troubled by the notion that career must oppose family – as if the two must compete for my attention. Shouldn’t one complement the other?”

The Career Counselor presents How to Stay Positive During a Job Search posted at ask the CareerCounselor.

Edith Yeung presents Know How to Ask for What you Deserve and Break the Glass Ceiling posted at Edith Yeung.Com: Dream. Think. Act..

Wilson Ng presents Going to the Top too fast posted at Reflections of a BizDrivenLife, saying, “Success is intoxicating, and we all desire it - if possible, we would like to have it thrust upon us as soon as possible. However, scaling up too fast can be dangerous, and success that is easily won can as easily be lost or worse, can hurt you as much as failure does.”

Ivan Rios presents Let Them Think posted at artofleading.net.

Health Chaos presents Hiring and Firing Staff posted at Health Chaos.
