7 Listening Techniques to Increase Professional Success by ~ ( By  Shahab Anari ) Listening has always been considered a critical determining factor in successful communications. However, in this post, I'd like to emphasize how a professional can use good listening skills to achieve more success and strengthen his/her Personal Brand. According to iPEC Coaching, listening can be a challenge because: • We have less training and practice in listening than the other forms of communication. Listening as a mode of communication is used 40% of the time yet our formal training is very minimal, if any. By comparison, writing, which is used 9% of the time, is where we've all had at least 12 years of formal training (grades 1 - 12). • We can take in information faster than it can be spoken.

On a smaller scale, many businesses have replaced cash registers with point-of-sale (POS) terminals. These POS terminals not only print a sales receipt for the...

The Strategic Use of Information Technology By Nicole Bobbin TEACHER: Hello, Student. What do you know about Information Technology (IT)? STUDENT: Well, I know that most software is full of "bugs"! By the way, why are these errors in programs called "bugs"? TEACHER: Computer "bugs" have been around since malfunctions in a 1945 Mark II were blamed (facetiously) on a moth trapped in a relay. Nowadays the term refers to programming flaws -commands that don't accomplish the desired result. But I am sure you must know more about IT than the fact that programs have bugs! STUDENT: Recently I read an interesting article written by John Diebold years ago. Allow me to quote from it: "Information technology . . . is becoming increasingly the key to national economic well being, affecting virtually every industry and service. One would be hard-pressed to name a business that does not depend on the effective use of information: to design products and ser...
