By
Jackie Rosselli Serious burn injuries
happen in the workplace more frequently
than you think. Between five and ten
times a day, an arc flash explosion occurs
in electric equipment somewhere in the
United States , sending the victim to a
hospital or burn center for painful and
costly treatment. Everyday work clothes
made from regular cotton or poly/cotton
fabrics, regardless of weight, offer little
protection. In fact, they can be readily
ignited at some exposure level and will
continue to burn, adding to the extent
of injury sustained from the arc alone.

Companies and their people must deal with change
all the time. Sometimes it’s internally
created and imposed, but more often corporate
leaders are reacting to external forces such
as market conditions or customer demands. It
isn’t the changes that do you in, it’s
the transitions. They aren’t the same thing:
change is situational (change in leadership,
the move to a new site, or the re-organization
of roles on the team.); transition is psychological.
It can be managed successfully to minimize pain
and problems and to maximize opportunities and
longer term satisfaction.

By Jim DomanskiIn case you had not noticed,
one of the disadvantages of selling by telephone
is the absence of face to face contact.
When we make a presentation over the phone, it is difficult
to determine if the client is buying in or tuning out.
We cannot see the raised and perplexed eyebrow that tells
us there is a concern. We cannot see the look of delight
in the client's eyes when we touch on a hot topic. We are,
for all intents and purposes, blind to body language clues.
This is very significant because a variety of studies reveal
that a WHOPPING 55% of what we communicate face to face
is through body language. Talk about a handicap!
