Zero String Vision

'... and will now sell The Club’s vision to the desired player by writing a succession of noughts on a piece of paper ...' Here's a natty piece of video call engagement gleaned via the above inspo from an irreverent football transfer commentator. In context of team awash with

Windoze Agenda Slide Trap

A while back, I saw this above slide template. Awaiting a small working party. With whom I had no dealings. Their get-together about to commence. For aesthetics I've switched their white background to grey. Kept the big 'Microsoft Blue' circle with its contained title as-was. And swapped the position of

Meeting Money Moment

There's many a meeting persona we can do without; room meat, information tourists, spuddlers. Among such unwelcome spectre, there's the undoubted drain of the person who contributes nothing. I was reminded of this with a little bank holiday broadsheet reading as captured in the above screenshot. Now, I'm seldom one

Lauded Hollywood Director Approach To Video Calls

Consider how any selling dialogue might be broken down. In perhaps simplest terms, apply say, the beginning-middle-end template. Open with aim. Talk it through. Finish with agreed next action. You might, if you were of the movie-mind, describe this 'narrative structure' as 'the series of events that's the essence of

Agitation Issue Alert

I recently found out the term for the classic snag of when a small item of laundry fails to come out clean. The cause tends to be an 'agitation issue'. Which occurs when say, a sock, ends wound up inside another garment and as a result cannot receive the required

Push & Pull Forces

Late Night Daytime Vidscapes

Apropos of nothing, they might snidely snipe. How else can the highest paid of tv slurmongers show solidarity with the betrodden? Well, whilst unlikely myself to consume this particular content, at least this is one piece-to-camera they offer that seems with merit. Scriptwriters have gone on strike. Principally I gather

Three Term Rule

To limit time in any one role to three years has long been the mantra of the greasy pole careerist. There's many a reason for this slant. For one, I'm reminded of the classic advice of revolutionary Hungarian football coach, Bela Guttman; "the third year is fatal". Meaning that after

Key Future of Work Perk

During mid-23 I've noted countless pieces in the feeds of the battle for talent. Skilled labour is in short supply. I have seen this for myself. Where those with a great Enterprise product feel the difficulty in recruiting the right calibre of sales-side people is dampening growth potential. Not forgetting

Your Special Helper

Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. Those that can't teach, consult. Yes, the withering ol' joke. Punching up, down and across to those supposedly fallen from the greasy pole. Because that pole deserves to be greased. I have lamented lately - admittedly mainly with HR types who either
