Why you need an iPod for Christmas?

December 3, 2005 Barrie Bramley Future Trends, General, Ripping and burning - Digital entertainment, Training and Education, Work-Life Integration (and wellness) 1 Comment

Santa iPodI just had a birthday. My amazing wife bought me an iPod Video. It replaces my iPod mini that’s given me hours of amazingness. I used my iPod mini for mostly travelling by plane to escape the mind-numbing experience of airline travel. As I discovered PodCasts I spent a lot less time listening to music, and a lot more time getting some great input from the various PodCasts I subscribe to. The iPod video will enhance my experience even more. (that’s the theory)

In our business we’ve started to video some of our presentations. We’re hoping it will not only share the knowledge of a virtual team, but act as a quality enhancement tool as well. We’ll now be able to give eachother contructive feedback on what we saw and heard.

I was sent a post from iPod Garage the other day, where a great case is made for using an iPod as a self-development tool. Specifically for audio books and podcasts. I couldn’t agree more.

These days being productive means using your time wisely. A small increase in productivity, a mere 1/1000th improvement, means that in less then 3 years you will double your productivity. That will put you as one of the top people in your field in a very short amount of time.

And that’s why you NEED an iPod for Christmas. Got that Santa?

Forget creating customer loyalty and focus on building friendships with customers

Forget creating customer loyalty and focus on building friendships with customers

I’m not talking about the glib friendships companies try to encourage by inviting their customers to be friends or fans on Facebook, but rather intimate and deep relationships that come from having a vested interest in the people that make their business possible. I recently came across a study by Michael Argyle and Monika Henderson [...]

You’re going to have to change your management style

You’re going to have to change your management style

I spend a large part of my year in conversation with managers working hard to try and understand today’s younger workforce. The pain they’re feeling is palpable. The evidence of change is overwhelming. Making the necessary changes, at times, seems impossible. The hope is that the challenges are being interrogated and slowly but surely acted [...]

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

Everyone agrees that something must be done about executive pay. One of the major contentious issues emerging out of the financial crisis is the way that senior executives and manager, especially in the financial industries, are remunerated. These days, executive pay often seems to be unrelated to the company’s performance, and in many [...]
