Intelligence killed the cat?
Date: Oct 18, 2010

And here I always thought it was curiosity. Turns out, the curious cat is the one who learned more, changed more, and therefore, achieved more.

So, are you intelligent or are you curious? What does your mindset about these have to do with how well you learn? According to Dr. Carol Dweck… everything!

Training, learning and growing are essential to progressing in your business and your career. But, so many times we go to a training session, learn some great stuff, but we may be distracted or quickly forget the concepts we learn and go right back to the same old habits. How do we break that cycle? We start with curiousity.

Using your company’s core strengths to build and sustain your brand
By Amie Peele Carter

 

Strengths training is getting a lot of airtime these days. At back to school night two weeks ago, I sat in my son’s new classroom and learned about the strength training recently given to the school’s faculty.  I am even starting to see a greater strengths focus in the way they evaluate students.

 

Back at work, though, I begin to think about strengths from a corporate perspective.  What are the strengths of any given organization? And once they are identified, how can they be leveraged to better express the company’s brand?  After all, your brand is the way your customers and clients experience what you have to offer.
