In these straitened times, households across the UK and, indeed, further afield are looking to tighten their belts in the face of increasing wage restraint and the rising cost of living. With energy bills soaring and fuel prices persistently high, its perhaps not surprising that so many people are trying to keep their spending to a minimum. And its not just individuals who are feeling the pinch, as businesses look to keep their heads above water...more

'Doing the rounds' of family and friends each year, to deliver their presents ahead of Christmas, is one of the big rituals of every festive season.If we look back at recent winters, however, when we have seen the weather take a turn for the worse, blocking roads and making many other forms of transport equally difficult, staying at home to do the shopping then letting someone else have the job of doing the rounds with the gifts seems an altogether more attractive idea.That doesn't mean, of course, that it should be an excuse for getting out of visiting the relatives altogether. It's simply that, with so many professional couriers and parcel delivery specialists now on hand to do the job, the reasons for taking on this responsibility yourself are becoming ever fewer.Being on the roads as the days of December tick down towards the 25th is an experience that many people find full of stress. Everyone seems in a hurry to get to wherever they are going, and the extra hold-ups which are inevitably caused when larger volumes of traffic are trying to make their way along roads which could be wet, slushy and, at worst, icy, don't do anyone's blood pressure any good.That's a big reason why...more

Getting in front of people to give a talk is not easy for many. Some even say they fear public speaking more than they fear death. However, speaking in public is easier than one might think, especially if you focus on the subject matter where you are strong. Equally as important is having a clear message, and making sure you keep it to the allowed time. Over the past few months, I have attended meetings, conferences, commencements, workshops, and seminars. These experiences have provided opportunities to observe speakers in action. Some were excellent, others were mediocre, and a few not so good. To be effective, we must focus both on our message, and the ability to engage our audience. In other words, the audience should dictate our approach. Here are three things you should avoid when speaking before an audience: #1: Tell them you were just recently given this speaking assignment. A big turn-off for the audience is when the speaker says the following: Okay! I hope this goes well. My boss told me yesterday I had to do this! While that comment might seem humorous, its unprofessional. The audience is excited to hear your message, and its your job to step up to the plate. We might be...more
