MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT |
|
|
|
 |
Last Saturday, Valentine's Day, I had
attended the largest ever (at least in
recent recollection) Arizona National
Speakers Association meeting.
I'm pictured here with Willie Jolley,
the keynote speaker. In 1999
Willie was named “One of the Outstanding
Five Speakers in the World” by
Toastmasters International.
|
|
|
He and
his wife flew in from Washington DC to be with
us. They were both awesome!
I
left the session filled with tons of ideas and
renewed optimism today and the future.

ARTICLE – DEALING WITH DOWNSIZING |
|
|
| We are bombarded by bad
news regarding the economy. People are
using the "R" and even the "D" word. If
you listen to the news a lot, it could be just
plain depressing. It's critical to keep
your wits about you and not succumb to all the
bad news.
Here are the three
biggest areas where downsizing is occurring:
people, budgets and even customers.
1. Downsized
staff
You may be working
for a firm that has reduced its staff in
order to stay competitive. If that's the
case, you might have mixed feelings
about still having your job. While
you're grateful you have a steady
salary, you might be dealing with
feelings of guilt because someone you
care about lost their job. You
might even feel some resentment for the
increase in your workload. |
2. Downsized
budgets
Companies and individuals
are being more cautious with their financial
resources. More scrutiny is being applied to the
way money is spent and invested. Budgets are
being slashed. You may find yourself having to
deal with more budget constraints than ever
before.
3. Downsized
customers
Some unfortunate customers
might be out of the market altogether. If
they're lucky, wise or well financed, they're
still in business. It's likely though that
their budgets are constrained. They are
also being more judicious in their spending
habits and you know what that means for you.
Perhaps you're feeling that squeeze as well.
As I said at the
beginning, it's tempting to fall victim to to
the doom and gloom, but that would be a mistake.
Let me share with you 3 specific things you can
do to counteract the naysayers...

with these downsizing dilemmas.
