<description><![CDATA[You'd think that talking to people face to face would be by far the easiest way to communicate, wouldn't you, and that can be true. But did you know that according to Professor Albert Mehrabian  only 7% of the actual words we speak make up the communication, with 38% being the way we say what we say, and a massive 55% body language.

<description><![CDATA[What a big subject communication is. I'm even having to divide it up for my blog because it's so big.

The reason I'm writing about it at all is because of it's huge importance in every area of our life, and if you're running a business, it's essential that your communication skills are excellent.

<title>Time Management - It's all about Perception</title>

<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/307260</guid>
<pubDate>Fri, 22 Sep 2006 08:33:35 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[I was listening to a report about our perception of time a while ago, which talked about our attitude to it and how it can make us feel stressed when we feel that we haven't got enough. We are increasingly running our lives to a clock and can often feel enraged if we feel that someone or something is wasting our time.

<description><![CDATA[Restarting my business this year meant looking again at my marketing, which if I'm honest, was pretty abysmal before.

<description><![CDATA[Years ago, my dream was to work my way up the corporate ladder, which in a male dominated environment I managed to do; my last promotion making me a senior manager.

<description><![CDATA[Stress management is a funny old thing. When you're not stressed you can do all the right things - eat properly, sleep well, exercise and relax etc. but as soon as you're stressed, things go completely out of the window, just as you really need to be doing them.

<description><![CDATA[Goal setting can be a hit and miss affair. A lot of people never bother to set goals accepting what life has to offer, or they set unrealistic goals they've got no chance of reaching which then sets them up for disappointment. Some people deliberately don't set goals as they perceive it to be too structured and they want to remain free spirits. However, I think that by setting goals you are taking control of your life which can give you the sense of freedom you're looking for.

<description><![CDATA[I was browsing my bookshelf the other day, and seeing Susan Jeffers book "Feel the Fear and do it Anyway" reminded me that some time ago, I had the privilege of talking to a lady from Zimbabwe who had been evicted from her farm, along with her friend who had not only lost her farm, but whose husband had been murdered whilst trying to defend himself and his family. The two women had arrived in this country with their children, and were trying to start a new life. There is no doubt that they had gone through a terrifying ordeal.

<pubDate>Sun, 13 Aug 2006 19:49:37 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Isn't it funny how in your twenties and even thirties you relish your birthday, making sure everyone knows it's coming up so they don't forget, and you don't mind telling people how old you are? You're also fond of saying that when YOU get over forty you'll still be very upfront about your age. Hmm!

<description><![CDATA["Here is Edward Bear coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he know, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it."

<description><![CDATA[What is dating success? For instance, does it mean you find the person of your dreams, get married and live happily ever after? Does it mean your date would make a great friend but not lover, or does it mean they'd be perfect for your mate? When I asked a married friend of mine, he said "Dating success? My wife not finding out!" He quickly added he was joking and said that if he was dating again it would be an enjoyable evening with a person knowing that he'd really like to see them again.

<description><![CDATA[You know when you're trying to recall an actor's name or that great book you want to recommend? It's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach? After wracking your brains for what seems an age, you give up only to have the name pop up in your mind later on. How did you do that? How come you couldn't remember the name when you were trying so hard?

<description><![CDATA[Having had a busy week, I was only too happy to don my gardening clothes and get outside to do some planting, weeding and pruning last weekend. "It's interesting", I thought, "how business refers to a slight improvement as the green shoots of recovery". I then began to think of other gardening analogies that could be applied to business. ]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 26 Jun 2006 16:00:17 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[I've recently noticed the number of people who say that they are hopeless when it comes to studying and passing exams. As there are so many opportunities for improvement now it seems a real shame if a limiting belief is holding you back. Steve's story is a good example of this and how it doesn't have to be that way.

<description><![CDATA[What's your perception of people who make "To Do" lists? Are you full of admiration for such an organised approach to life? Do you sigh and wish you could be like them? Or, do you shudder at the idea of running your life in such a timetabled fashion?
