No matter where you travel in life or what you accomplish, there are always roadblocks and naysayers ready to shoot down your ideas. While you can’t change that, what you can adjust is the way you react to roadblocks in your travels so that you are able to keep your eyes on the prize…your idea, implemented. Let’s take a look at some effective ways to do just that.

The Fundamental Difference bet. Twitter/FB/Google Plus

I just presented one of my main workshops as one of the featured speakers at a regional networking event. The workshop is titled, "Why Should I Do Business With You?"

You look at the person, smile uncomfortably, and then…silence! What do you say that is more than, "Nice weather, isn't it?" In this video lesson, Sylvia Henderson helps you engage in the art of "small talk" in a meaningful way. Small talk can be more than idle conversation when you ask good questions.
