Family Member Guide to Nursing Homes

Tuesday, November 6, 2007

Clients frequently tell us they trusted the nursing home or assisted living facility to take care of their loved one. We also hear clients say they assumed their regular visits to the nursing home or assisted living facility would encourage staff to provide better care for their family member. Well, that may be true but your presence in the room or down the hall is not enough. Frustrated family members concerned about the level of care their loved one is receiving call often. Most of the time, their complaints cannot and should not be addressed by filing a lawsuit ? so we provide more (Read more)

Forex Trading - Brokers = Enemy

Thursday, May 24, 2007

I don’t mean to scare you or anything, but beside yourself, your broker is your next worst enemy. If you don’t prove to be your own undoing, your broker will certainly try. Of course there are ways to foible their attempts. I will show them to you. But first . . . Most forex traders blow their accounts. Brokers know this, so some (probably more than we’d like to admit) actually trade against their clients. They figure that if most traders are losers, they will trade exactly the opposite of their clients, and over the long run, they will come out winners. You have to admit, (Read more)

Negotiation - Planning For A Successful Outcome

Wednesday, April 4, 2007

In any kind of negotiation the planning stage is probably the most important. Too often we go in badly prepared and end up giving concessions that reduce the overall profitability of the final deal. The importance of planning is in having a very clear idea before entering into the negotiation i.e. –What are my objectives? –What does the other side wish to achieve? –What information will influence the final outcome of the negotiation? –What concessions can I make? –How am I going to achieve my objectives? –What part will other people play in the (Read more)

Getting to Yes Now Became Easier

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

At times the power of persuasion has eluded me. I’m not a natural persuader, a good negotiator maybe. In negotiation you develop strategy and options and work to a plan but with persuasion it seems you require verbal speed and mental flexibility which does not suit my somewhat logical mind. New things interest me. New technology, new products and new techniques, anything that helps to improve my skill level. Some scientific facts have recently been established that come into the art of persuasion. Getting to yes using these facts can be easier. A major pharmaceuticals company recently (Read more)

Negotiating Nonverbally: Try to Exploit “Tells,” Giveaways, and Expressions Given-Off

Monday, March 5, 2007

There is a painting in Pasadena’s Norton Simon Museum that presents a portrait of a gentleman, or so we would think at a cursory glance. But the artist must have been slightly miffed at his subject. Perhaps the patron was less than generous, or possibly he was late in paying previous commissions. Nothing about the subject’s facial expression or clothing or posture reveals the artist’s contempt. However, if you start from the bottom of the frame and move up, focusing on the poser’s fingers, and more to the point, on his fingernails, you’ll detect what I’m (Read more)

Negotiation: How Badly Do You Want the Deal?

Monday, January 22, 2007

Some of the most pathetic folks are those who are in love with people who don’t love them back. If we’re honest and we think back to our school days, all of us can recall being rebuffed at least once by the objects of our obsessions. It’s no fun, especially as we watch nonchalant men and women line-up date after date with the most desirable people. It’s not fair! We’re trying so hard and getting nothing while they’re not trying at all and they’re getting everything! Exactly, and this is one of the essential truths about negotiating, whether it is (Read more)

Grooved golf Swing Series: How Grain Factors On A Green Can Affect Your Put And How To Read Them

Tuesday, December 5, 2006

This is something that was a bit of a mystery to me in my early days. I would hear people talking about the grain on the green and how the ball would go fast if the grain was leaning towards the hole and how the ball would not reach the hole if one was putting against the grain unless this factor was taken into account. Well here is a bit about grain in case you, like I did, find this subject a bit of a mystery. When the grass grows, it grows in a particular direction. The grass on greens is a special type of grass and lies flat on the surface. There are bent grasses that lie flat (Read more)

Your Last Cigarette

Friday, November 17, 2006

Have you ever paid attention to your actions? What are the moments when you just can’t cope without smoking? Research, performed in different countries, gave the same result: usually the cigarette is necessary to a smoker after experienced stress, or when a person has nothing to do and smoking becomes a way to kill time, and health in addition. I bet that the reason of your smoking habit was just mentioned. However, the non-smokers get stressed or bored too. Why don’t they need a cigarette? Of course, you can say that nonsmokers have nothing to compare with, but what about (Read more)

Negotiating Do You Need To?

Monday, November 13, 2006

Whilst browsing the internet I came across a number of articles on negotiating and having read several began to wonder who these people were negotiating with and why were they bothering to negotiate at all. I was amazed at the language used in the articles and the suggestion that you would want to negotiate with someone you know is going to con you, stitch you up or rip you off. What does the person or organisation you distrust have that is worth the effort of negotiation, it can only be a crook or assassin you want to bump of the spouse or burn the business down for the insurance (Read more)
