Welcome back to the podcast!
This week’s episode: “Organizing Your Mail and Contacts”.
You know, nothing’s more honest than a 7 year old kid. He tells me things he likes, he tells me things that he doesn’t like, but one of his favorite likes happens to be organizing and arranging things, or just searching through one of those “Where’s Waldo?” books. You know, it can actually be fun looking for one thing in the midst of others. Heck, there’s even a game on the Nintendo Wii where you can sort and organize your Miis. (more…)

How to find what you need to get the job done!
Ask my wife sometime and you’ll probably find out that my short term memory has a lot to be desired, and is in fact practically non-existent.

So to start off this edition of the podcast, I want to first give you a definition of the word Group.

The one thing I am the worst at is remembering to water my one ivy plant. It seems each time I remember to do this it loses a few leaves in the process.
I really do feel bad about forgetting (can you believe the thing is right there in front of me). I am often told by my wife that I get so caught up in my own thoughts that I miss the obvious (like that basket of clean clothes sitting right in front of the stairs for me to carry up to our room).

This week’s focus area is Business Communication. Communication is important to everyone. Quality communication can make the sale or get the contract. In today’s business world, we communicate in a variety of ways: sending e-mail, exchanging documents in many electronic formats, calling people directly, using handheld computing devices, holding tele conferences, and running webinars. How well our message is expressed is based on a variety of factors.
