Janie Van Hool in Business Age

Business Age

‘If we feel we already know how a person will respond, then what’s the point of asking the question? All too often, it seems that we don’t ask and if we ask at all, we don’t listen to the response.’
An extract from Janie Van Hool‘s The Listening Shift in Business Age.

Business Age

Young Upstarts

‘Get on the dance floor as soon as the party starts and show off your moves, regardless of how outrageous or clumsy they might be. Practice, goodwill, hard work and experimentation are prerequisites for the journey to success.’

‘You can’t always predict why and when a crisis will hit. Fires, IT issues, breakdowns in supply chains — they are often forgivable if the responses are handled well.’

Lucy Werner, author of Hype Yourself and co-author of Brand Yourself, is featured in Metro talking about how to build and protect your reputation as a business owner.

Reputation is the most important thing to a business – here’s how to build yours

Business owners everywhere will recognise the accuracy of Shakespeare’s description of reputation as a ‘bubble’. In today’s fast-moving world, the hard-won approval of customers and competitors is more fragile and likely to float away than ever.

“When our sense of self-worth is based on how hard we work or how much we do for others, we are far more susceptible to burning out.”

An interview with Sarah Kuipers, author of The Thriving Giver, for Authority Magazine.
