| Article Title :: How Coaching and Mentoring Works: The Benefits of Using a Coach
or mentor |
| |
|
The current trend is for an increase in coaching and mentoring
in the workplace.
Coaching and mentoring, whether on an executive level or for
overall staff, are increasingly being recognised as important in
employee development. It is acknowledged by senior management in
many organisations that their company will thrive if they offer
some form of coaching and mentoring to their staff.
We are particularly aware at how much this trend for coaching
and mentoring has grown in the UK, as this is where most of our
clients are based.
We work with companies who automatically assign a mentor to new
employees, some who leave it up to the employee to seek out a
coach for themselves, some who don't (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Ad Copy Secrets |
| |
|
Who couldn't use some great ad copy tips once in awhile?! Here
are secrets shared by ad pros to use in your promotions online
and off.
1. DIGITAL IMAGES - Add images with your ad copy. Rule of thumb
here is NOT "the more the merrier." So choose one or two of your
best images. Don't have a camera or not great with it yet? Don't
worry. Surf the Internet or check software packages for images
that grant you permission for use. Simply type "free images to
use" into your favorite search engine. Or check places like
Amazon.com or Ebay.com for affordable image packages that fit
your industry needs.
2. PRICE - List your price and don't irritate people by playing
games and hiding it or leaving it (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Importance of Executive Coaching |
| |
|
Why executive coaching services are expanding and how best to
use an executive coach.
Why use an executive coach?
Nothing to be ashamed of
Unfortunately, for years, the idea of using an executive coach
was looked on as a weakness. Somehow, the higher up people got
in a company, the more responsibilities they were supposed to
handle without any outward sign that they weren't superman or
superwoman.
It wasn't even supposed to be the image of the swan - serene and
calm on the outside, but paddling like hell underneath. No,
people were supposed to look serene and paddle serene as well!
Fortunately, these days things have moved on a lot. It's not
considered a weakness to seek support. At le (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Equality and Diversity |
| |
|
With the introduction of the new Employment and Race directives
from the European Union in 2001 it is now important that
companies examine their attitudes and policies on gender, race,
disability, sexuality, age and religion. Given this context, we
believe that an understanding of the legislation and its effect
on company policies is important for all employees.
However, here at Impact Factory we tend to do things
differently. So when we think about equality and diversity
issues we don't offer a standard 'off the peg' equal
opportunities training. If that is what you need we are probably
the wrong company for you.
Diversity workshops
Certainly in our diversity workshops we cover legislat (read full article) |

This document is all about understanding teams and team building
training; the purpose of team building activities; why corporate
team building events can be effective; planning a team building
strategy; building creative teams.
Why have a team building activity or event?

teambuilding activity'. Corporate team building events are on
the increase: everyone seems to be having them these days. But
are they living up to expectations?
See, from our point of view, often the people talking about team
building don't really know what they mean.

Civilization 4 and Why I Hate My Office Phone
If you're familiar with the strategy PC gaming series
"Civilization", you probably know that it's only slightly less
addictive than crack. I've never tried crack, but the "word on
the street", so to speak, is that it's a bit hard to let go of.
I recently purchased Civilization 4, which is the latest in the
Civilization series. That in itself isn't so interesting, but
what happened to me at my job as a result of it most certainly
is. I work as a network administrator for a large insurance
company in Illinois.
Part of my job is to repair PC's as needed, which is quite often
considering how many there are around this place. I informed my

| Article Title :: Taking Business Phone for Granted |
| |
|
Located in Manhattan, my company occupies a small space in the
basement of a upper east side brownstone. Because the space is
so limited, we store our servers and phone equipment in the
boiler room. I know what you're thinking, and you're absolutely
right. It's not a good idea to put your most expensive equipment
in a tiny room that feels like the foyer to hell.
When we set up shop over a year ago, we thought the same thing.
Unfortunately, the rental price of a property in Manhattan that
was actually large enough for our business scared us much more
than the possibility of losing our equipment. Within a week of
the boiler being turned on for winter the first year we were
there, we started (read full article) |
