Keeping current is important for anyone in business today. It is especially necessary to those of us in consulting and coaching. One of the ways I keep up-to-date is to read books, newspapers and on-line articles.
I have a subscription to The Business Executive. This monthly newspaper is full of business news, events and sometimes just plain interesting articles.
Read this week's TIPS to find out what I mean.
Have a great week.

Tips

Most Embarrassing Moments at Work

1. A personal voicemail from my spouse went to someone else instead
2. I stumbled and fell on my face when I tripped over the carpet
3. In a meeting, I spilled coffee all over myself.
4. When speaking at a business event, I fell off the stage.
5. While interviewing a job candidate, I fell asleep
6. I passed out in the front lobby after I cut my finger.

Best way to handle moments like this? - Apologize if necessary, gracefully move on, and try to find the humour in the situation!

Diane Domeyer, Executive Director, Office Team
