* When is it right to Use This Technique?

* What exactly is this technique ( APT ) ?

* Can some Visuals still be used ?

Description

With this podcast we look at an advanced technique to take your “important” non-frequent presentations to a much higher level of effectiveness. Since most presentations take place in a meeting environment, this technique is just as valid in meetings. It does require some confidence to tackle this technique but it is certainly worth the risk.

What is the Common Hiring Story?

What is the Logical Argument for Spending More Time After Hiring?

What is the Mindset Needed?

Description

Given how difficult it is to hire the right people, it would make sense from a time and money aspect to invest some more energy into the onboarding of new recruits. Yet more often than I would like to admit, this does not seem to be the case. In many cases there is a Hire and Forget type of manner. In this podcast I will look into this topic in more detail and propose that we ought to take on a different mindset when hiring people, to improve the success rate.

What is Success on the Telephone?What are the stages of a telephone call?How do we use the telephone flow chart?

Description

It is understandable that making a telephone call in a second language can cause some concern. Without the "help" of visual clues it is easy to not be perceived as you wish to be by the other person, be they clients or within the same company as your own. What this podcast does is break down the parts of a telephone call so that you may achieve some progress toward your objective. We discuss a particularly common idea of using a telephone flow chart to help, but BPiE adds several points to it that help solely the non English mother tongue speaker. The techniques discussed in the 25 mins of this podcast will support you to advance your career as well as your practical confidence in the language.

At what point do you show your teeth?

How time adherence effects everything a company does?

How you can determine the company’s culture and performance?

 

Description

This podcast is aimed at all levels in the workplace but especially at those who hold positions of authority: i.e. managers. So many people write to me and complain that they must deal with colleagues that do not adhere to time. In my opinion this is squarely the responsibility of a manager to improve his or her people’s performance which includes time adherence. This podcast will discuss how to do this and reflect upon the consequences of not doing it for all the activities of the company. Simply put if arriving late for a meeting is acceptable in a company then usually so is being late on a proposal for a client, or a CPQ turnaround or a project…which all influence company performance.

What is the Sickness of Mangers?

Where Does it Come From?

Is there any Actionable Advice on How to Avoid this Sickness?

Description

All of BPiE advice over the past three years has been aimed at overcoming the disadvantages that non native speakers of English have in the workplace. I want you to be perceived in the workplace as you want and deserve to be. Therefore the techniques described are all logical steps that if followed deliver the outcome requested. Always actionable advice as that is what is missing in the world of consulting. Yet there is a risk attached with being too good a student of these techniques: that you become infected with the Sickness of Managers. This podcast will help you recognise this sickness and advice on how to avoid it.

Why do these disadvantages occur?

What a system to help looks like?

What is the best way to use your calendar with the system?

 

Description

For those who work in an environment where the lingua franca is not their mother tongue, there is the risk that these people are disadvantaged at work. Certainly I sometimes feel that I am finding it difficult to “engage” with certain people given my level of italian. This is I am sure sometimes the same for you in English. The solution? Compensate for this lack in some other manner so that your effectiveness becomes extremely high and potent, overcoming any disadvantage that language can place upon you.
