7 Hacks That Helped Me Transition My Wardrobe From College to Corporate

7 Hacks That Helped Me Transition My Wardrobe From College to Corporate To state that I was anxious before I started my first all day work one month in the wake of graduating school would have been a colossal modest representation of the truth. While I worried about learning new names and conventions, there would one say one was stress that overshadowed all others: what was I going to wear? I knew I couldnt appear at an office in the band tees and yoga pants thathad become my informal school uniform, so I froze the week prior to my first day and purchased a lot of business woman garments that were zero percent my character. Sick fitting conservative looking shirts, swathe shaded cardigans, boring high captured pullovers - in my brain these were the sorts of garments genuine grown-ups wore! I needed to be paid attention to, so I compared unattractiveness with development. Around one year and numerous terrible outfits later, I wish I would have taken in these exercises far sooner about how to change my closet from school child to associate - 1. Gain from Your Surroundings Before you purchase ANYTHING, check out you. After I began working, I saw that there was a huge range with respect to how individuals dressed. Each work environment is extraordinary, so before you go crazy and redesign your closet, see what works for your office. Are shoes adequate in the mid year or does everybody on your floor wear dress shoes all year? Are uncovered legs satisfactory, or are pantyhose an implicit necessity? Think about your condition before you begin shopping. 2. Grasp the Blazer One thing certainly worth putting resources into is a dim jacket. It has been said on different occasions before in light of the fact that its actual: nothing can lift an outfit all the more without any problem. Your school staples- - sundress, plain T-shirt, cloth pants - quickly become office-prepared byadding a jacket. 3. Utilize a Cheat Code In the event that you dont realize where to begin, consider letting somebody choose garments for you. There are numerous membership benefits that permit you to round out a style profile and have a beautician pick things that are conveyed to your entryway. Articulating what I needed to someone else likewise made me increasingly mindful of what I truly need and dont need. I use Stitch Fix, which lets me select explicitly office looks. 4. Break out the Dark Denim Strong shaded tailoreddark pants are agreeable and dont feel excessively formal, however they can be spruced up. I wear the dark high waisted Levis I purchased during my lesser year at any rate once per week, and I generally feel incredible in them. The look is excessively cool, however it still thoroughly works for the workplace. 5. Two Wrongs Make a Right I expect most workplaces have a zero-resistance strategy with regards to uncovered stomach catches, yet that doesnt mean you need to desert your yield tops. Layer a harvest top with sleeves over your preferred sleeveless dress for a look that is both office-reasonable and sleek. 6. If all else fails, Go Back to Black At the point when I do not understand what to wear, I realize dark will consistently look fresh, smooth, and immortal. I go after all dark when I have to look assembled. An essential dark slipover tee tucked into a dark midi skirt with a low dark heel is immediately cleaned when matched together. 7. Pin Away Exploit Pinterest- - particularly on the off chance that you go the membership administration course. Why rehash an already solved problem in the event that you dont need to? There are a large number of sheets to coordinate anything you can consider. A few my most loved are office boho and business rock chic. Whatever your style is, will undoubtedly discover looks that join pieces you effectively own. - Kayla Heisler is a writer and Pushcart Prizenominatedpoet.

Top Five GMAT Study Mistakes

Top Five GMAT Study Mistakes Top Five GMAT Study Mistakes Mix-up #1: Believing that more will be progressively A typical misperception is that the best way to genuinely ace the GMAT is to see each issue in presence. Also, given the quantity of GMAT guides accessible at your nearby book shop, there is a lot of material out there. Obviously, you would like to see an assortment of issues, with the goal that you know which ideas are tried, and how. Notwithstanding, just presenting yourself to a wide range of issues isn't sufficient; you need to really examine the issues, and this may mean doing less issues. You are not finished with an issue when you hit the nail on the head. You ought to spend twice as long looking into an issue as you spend doing it, regardless of whether you got it right. (I'm not kidding on that one.) As a piece of your survey, ask yourself whether you recognized the subjects being tried. Did you do respond to the inquiry in the most productive manner? Was there another methodology you could have taken? Does the issue or an y of the ideas help you to remember different issues you've seen? The objective is to discover an exercise in each address and have the option to apply those exercises to the following gathering of issues you do. Slip-up #2: Believing that more will be more, part deux I once knew a GMAT understudy who accepted that in the event that he took a training test a day for about a month and a half, he would be readied when the real test date moved around. Arranged to hop off a scaffold, I thought, however not set up to step through the exam. Much the same as doing too many practice issues, stepping through superfluous exams won't assist you with learning the material important to excel on the GMAT. Use practice tests sparingly. Use them to assemble endurance, get familiar with the planning requirements, and measure your advancement. Practice tests ought not be your essential investigation apparatus. In the event that you are lucky enough to utilize a test that gives you analytic data, util ize that data to manage your future examining. Concentrate essentially on your most fragile zones, yet don't let a specific theme or question type go cold. Whatever you do, DO NOT get hung up on your score. These are practice tests; for good or sick, the genuine test will be a totally unique encounter. Slip-up #3: Believing that more will be more, part tre It's an uncommon winged animal who didn't, eventually during school, pull a dusk 'til dawn affair packing for a dreadful end of the year test. Recollect when it was 3 am and the room was covered with half-flushed cups of espresso, void pizza boxes, disposed of Twizzlers' coverings, and various crunched cheat sheets? That was fine when you were 19 and attempting to recollect a semester of human conduct science; it won't cut it now. Reading for extensive stretches of time isn't viable groundwork for the GMAT. Or maybe, find a steady speed. Give yourself a decent three months to get ready for the test, working around two hours per da y. Stir up your investigation meetings with the goal that you work a piece on verbal and a piece on quantitative points. Do a gathering of issues (state, twenty minutes worth) and go through the following forty minutes investigating your work. Enjoy a stretch reprieve, return, and do another gathering of issues. Audit those strongly, and afterward consider it daily. Longer work meetings lead to unavoidable losses, an idea that all business colleges care about. Mix-up #4: Forgetting about Time is your most important asset when you take the GMAT. Since you have just 75 minutes to address either 41 verbal inquiries or 37 quantitative inquiries, how you assign those valuable minutes is essential to your general methodology and achievement. Time after time, GMAT takers put an excess of accentuation on getting the difficult right and insufficient accentuation on getting the issue directly in the perfect measure of time. Continuously, consistently, consistently do your training coordinated . Give yourself a specific number of minutes to finish a lot of issues. Along these lines, you can perceive how well you balance those issues that take excessively long with those that you can do quicker than the normal bear. Continuously endeavor to locate the most proficient route through the inquiry. Error #5: Doing just the stuff you're acceptable at It feels extraordinary to do a lot of issues in the perfect measure of time and get them all (or about all) right. At the point when that occurs, give yourself an earnest congratulatory gesture. However, at that point go looking for material you are less alright with. Working just on points or issue types you as of now feel extraordinary about won't help your general score close to as much as making upgrades in zones where you aren't exactly adequate. Due to the GMAT's versatile nature, your shortcomings make a roof for your qualities. You won't see a 700-level Sentence Correction question if your Reading Comprehension is down durin g the 500s. So as to exploit your executioner punctuation aptitudes, you need to build your RC level. In this way, do what needs to be done and accomplish the difficult work. It may not feel very as fun the first break, however you'll adore the enhancements you'll make after some time. Vanquishing the GMAT can appear to be an overwhelming undertaking. In any case, on the off chance that you maintain a strategic distance from these five missteps, you'll be well headed to triumph. What's more, on the off chance that you get focused on, get one of those old #2 pencils and begin chewing ceaselessly on its finish. That is to say, dislike they'll let you use it for the test, so you should receive some utilization in return. About ManhattanGMAT is the country's biggest GMAT-select readiness supplier.

The Publishing Business Is Not Dying

THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS IS NOT DYING There, I said it, and no, it isn’t simply wishful considering. The uncooked numbers are in, due to the Association of American Publishers, and I’m delighted to cross on the news that the publishing enterprise just isn't solely alive and well, however growing. Comparing March 2011 to March 2010, we see general growth of about 15%, up from $356,200,000 value of books bought in March 2010 over all seven of the categories tracked to $407,200,000 in March 2011. That means in case your writer is crying poverty, it in all probability means they’re doing one thing wrong. It’s not the economy, stupid, it’s most likely an over-reliance on retail, and on printed books over e-books. Though with $69,000,000 worth of e-books sold in March of this 12 months, e-books remain a small part of the overall publishing enterprise, their progress can not me underestimated. In raw dollars, the e-e-book’s portion of the publishing business in March of this year is more than twice what it was in Ma rch of final 12 months. This tends to assist the assumptions of people, like me, who have predicted that e-books will double their market share yearly earlier than discovering a secure point at about eighty-ninety% of the general business. If the industry stays secure, we will anticipate that e-books will make about $one hundred forty,000,000 next March then $280,000,000 in March of 2013, and dominate the publishing enterprise as a whole by the tip of 2014. Honestly, I think this is as near a sure factor as you can get in this sort of business projection, and I’m banking a lot on it with my consulting practice, which helps artistic studios (mostly online game builders) establish their very own (primarily e-e-book pushed) publishing programs. Here’s how it looks, March-to-March, based on the Association of American Publishers, as reported on AuthorLink: So publishing isn't a dying enterprise, but there's a main change within the works on the format entrance, with declines in pape rbacks of $9.7 million more than made up for by a $40.9 million increase in e-guide gross sales, accounting for the lion’s share of the overall revenue progress of $51 million over the identical month final 12 months. This would indicate that e-books are bringing in new readers, not simply stealing readers from struggling trade paperbacks. And that’s received to be the best information of all. What does this mean to authors? Easy: maintain writing. There might be a publisher on your work, and there's an audience for your work, and that audience is spending cash on books. I’m a guide lover, a guide collector, and I actually have a particular affinity for the paper e-book, however as a professional author I am and all the time have been, strictly in enterprise terms, a content material supplier. From a mercenary standpoint I need my contentâ€"my storyâ€"offered in no matter format will get it to the most important audience. If that’s an e-e-book in whatever format, read on no matter device, convey it on. â€"Philip Athans About Philip Athans Hey Phil, I’m in full agreement. Everything I’m seeing factors to the same issues. Writers who work and take likelihood is writers which might be going to find and build an viewers.

Fake it till you BECOME it.” Her TED speak provides important proof that our physique language shapes our personal confidence, not simply our credibility with others. Her research exhibits that closed arms, slouched postures, rubbing our neck and other self-defending poses, truly impression our hormones, making us really feel less confident. Those feelings then additional shape our nonverbal communication habits and the cycle continues. If you want to turn out to be more assured, open up your arms and stance and take up extra space in the room. Being extra acutely aware and deliberate about your body language will not solely assist you to show up stronger, but to really turn out to be more assured. When you’re in a meeting, do a posture verify every quarter-hour or so. Notice what your body does if you’re not paying consideration. Do you generally tend to make your self bigger or smaller? A good approach to turn into more conscious of how you’re holding your body is to take a yoga class. Notice how the energy and heart opening poses just like the Warrior poses or backbends make you're feeling. I’m not talking about the power dynamics of working your method to the pinnacle of the table. I’m actually amazed at how many people will select to take a seat on the periphery of a meeting quite than to drag a chair to the table. This is a consistent dynamic I’ve seen throughout companies. Even once I’ve invited individuals to tug up a chair to join, I’ve faced reluctance, “Oh no, I’m just fine here.” If you don’t belong on the table, you shouldn’t be in the room. If you’re operating the assembly and don’t have seats on the grown-up desk, get a much bigger room or discover a completely different approach. You won’t build confidence or create engagement by casting individuals to the sidelines. See additionally: 5 Ways to Define Your Seat on the Table This takes many forms, from coming in late and raveled to fidgety impatient conduct, to persistent mult-tasking in meetings. “You look careworn” isn't a compliment or a badge of honor for the way exhausting you’re working, or how a lot you’re taking over. Calm and collected breeds confidence in these above you and in those you serve.

Post navigation 12 Comments Great Tips Karin! Amy’s video was nice, the first time I watched it I needed to play with the postures as nicely. It was superb to see how my energy modified in the privacy of my own residence. (Love the brand new picture too!) Chery, I do suppose they’re value enjoying with and noticing. I found that I even have a tendancy to rub my neck after I get confused. Fine in private, however now that I notice it sends off a sign of weakness, I’ve turn into far more concsious of that and resist. Instead I work on sitting up taller and stretching out my neck and spine once I feel the stress coming on. I’ll try the video later. We all produce other issues occurring in our lives. Before an important assembly, I’ll meditate for at least 5 minutes to clear my mind of unhelpful thoughts. Then I image myself of how I wish to show up. Steve, That’s great. I’m not a giant mediatator, but I’ve been doing that same thing just lately earlier than massive conferences. I actually have a lo t of new opportunities happening and it’s important that I show up sturdy. A few quiet minutes of calm actually does appear to be helping. Just loved this post, Karin. I had to snicker at this one: “I’m really amazed at how many people will choose to sit down on the periphery of a meeting rather than to tug a chair to the desk.” It’s so true! Time and time once more I’ve watched folks come early to get the chairs alongside the sidelines…often, not all the chairs at the desk had been full! It sends a clear messge: they aren’t ready, they don’t wish to be there, and so they’re not engaged. Thanks so much for sharing this one! LaRae, It’s even CRAZIER once they get their early to do it. Yikes. Thanks for sharing. Well carried out Karin! Our physique language can positively sabotage us and often we don’t even understand what we are doing. I witness the” not pushing our chairs up with the remainder of the group” in my coaching lessons. I mechanically encourage them to move in and be part of even when they feel awkward. In the tip it says a lot about how someone feels about being someplace and how necessary or not necessary they could feel. Great factors and great submit! Terri, Oh sure, it happens in training lessons too. Great add! Choosing the Wrong Seat- yep, and the darkest nook of the room too. I used to make use of a room that had spare seats along the wall and with the lighting adjusted for the info projector, some individuals would discover a dim corner. I ended up eradicating the spare seats before the meetings. This is a particularly good tip Karin for aspiring leaders too. Dallas, yiks, in search of the dark spot. In my MBA class some students scurry for the again wall. I LOVE this, Karin: “If you don’t belong at the table, you shouldn’t be in the room.” i see that too and hopefully folks will make right now the day they pull up and dive in.

5 Things to Know About Your Coworkers With Kids

5 Things to Know About Your Coworkers With Kids Lady taking a shot at PC with child by George Rudy/Shutterstock You might've gone to an infant shower in the lunchroom, or perhaps you got a brief look at a confined infant picture on your partner's work area. In any case, you realize that a portion of your associates have children â€" what you don't understand is the means by which their new home lives may influence them in the work environment. A 2011 overview of ladies in the work environment uncovered that about portion of mothers felt as if their partners without kids could never comprehend the measure of pressure they suffer â€" and that is only a glimpse of something larger. Incidentally, there's a ton to think about being a working guardian, and realizing what it resembles may make you a superior chief and associate.

The most ideal approach to be circumspect of your colleagues is to give however much of a heads up as could be expected when you have to switch the settled upon plan. The additional time guardians need to reconfigure their schedule, the better. 2. Parental Leave Isn't a Walk in the Park Starting at 2016, 40 percent of families considered the mother their principle or sole provider, while fathers started to take on more parental duties than in days past. All things considered, the United States workforce confronted a faltering, overwhelming measurement: In an investigation of 41 countries, it was the one in particular that didn't require parental leave. A few organizations may give it in any case, however it's ordinarily a brief period that is either unpaid or financed at a small amount of the individual's customary check. In any case, returning from this time away is very hard for unseasoned parents. Not exclusively accomplished they simply work nonstop to change in accordance with existence with an infant, yet they additionally needed to figure out how to desert their infant to go to the workplace â€" that is extreme.

Siphoning Isn't a Break You may sneak out of the workplace for an espresso while your associates slice moms take breaks for an altogether unique explanation. They need to siphon, and they have to discover some place they can do so serenely. Try not to tragically take a siphon break as a genuine break, regardless of whether the lady being referred to has discovered approaches to make siphoning at work less distressing. She likely can't eat or unwind while playing out her normal siphon. Along these lines, give female representatives all the time they have to siphon for the duration of the day so they feel great and have a lot of sustenance to give their infants. 4.

What Does the Job Market Look Like for 2011

What Does the Job Market Look Like for 2011 Every year experts in their respective fields talk to employers, look at statistics and then take their best guess about what will happen in the job market. Of course 2011 is no different. People want to know if there will be more college graduates hired, will salaries go up or go down and is there a chance employees will see an increase in their performance reviews? According to available information the job market has begun to look up and there are hopeful signs everywhere. Unemployment rates have held steady at around 10 percent, so it’s good to see some kind of recovery start to take shape. Recent College Graduate Outlook The good news is that recent college graduates may have better luck finding jobs. The National Association of Colleges and Employers released their Job Outlook 2011 Fall Preview survey and employers expect to hire at least 13.5 percent more new college graduates from the 2011 graduating class compared to 2010 college graduates. Of the participating employers, nearly half of them expected to increase hiring, where about 40 percent expected to maintain the same level of new college hires. However, some college degrees still pay more than others. Particularly those college students with engineering degrees still have the highest level of being hired out of college. In fact, all engineering degrees are expected to see growth. Salary Projections and Increased Salaries For those that are not recent college grads, but still want to know their job prospects and salary projections for 2011, there is a small flicker of sunlight on the horizon. Projected salary increases for 2010 were thought to be around 2 to 3 percent and the outlook for 2011 is a little bit better. The projections for 2011 are that employers will be able to raise their budgets enough to work with a 3 percent increase in salary according to Plan Sponsor. That does not mean that each and every employee and job seeker will receive a 3 percent salary increase just because their employer’s budget increased, so don’t go in expecting the increase to hit suddenly. Annual salary increases usually work by creating a pool of cash, which is set aside for each independent department, so that it is the equivalent of 3 percent of that department’s salaries. The pool of money is then divided between employees based on seniority and role within the company. So as experts begin to predict growth for the 2011 job market there creates good news for soon to graduate college students and those who are still looking for work. Things are looking up but it still might take some time to fully recover. Rome wasn’t built in a day and your financial security and job prospects won’t be either. Keep your ear to the grindstone and start pounding out connections because you never know when that dream job will be right around the corner.

Unemployment Lies and Deception

Unemployment Lies and Deception (didnt mean to rant when I first started this but this stuff really bugs me) Im in Utah, which is where this article comes from: Utah unemployment rate drops to 6.3 percent.  I clicked over because I find anything under 9% to be remarkable. I recently read that Detroits Unemployment Rate is Nearly 50%, According to the Detroit News (and here is the Detroit News link). Which seems more believable?  6.3% or 50%? In Utah, a state economist is giving the number, and the article even says this may mark a turning point in the states economic recovery. This bothers me (more on that later). In Detroit, the mayor said (click the link to see it there) the citys official unemployment rate was as believable as Santa Claus.  (sorry for the spoiler on next weeks main event) Who is to believe, the state economist  with the good news, or the mayor of a city (an elected official) with the grim thought? Surprisingly, Im siding with the elected official.  To the state employees defense, though, he is only reporting on a certain kind of statistic that was predefined so hes just doing his job. THIS STATISTIC (unemployment rate) IS FLAWED, MISLEADING, AND DECEPTIVE. To the average Joe or Jane Worker, the unemployment rate seems to be the number of people who cant get a job. Unfortunately, the way unemployment is measured, its not that simple.  The official unemployment rate does not take into consideration those who gave up the job search more than a year ago, which, according to the Detroit News, could be more than 100,000 potential workers in Detroit. 100,000 workers.  And their families, and other dependents.  And their bill collectors. Why are they left out of the unemployment numbers? As far as I know, unemployment numbers are based on those who are reporting to the government those who are collecting unemployment insurance. Guess what unemployment insurance RUNS OUT.  And then, you are so worthless, you arent even counted as a statistic!  You are essentially written off the books. Yeah, this really gets under my skin. And we arent even talking about UNDEREMPLOYED people!! I gotta stop blogging because this makes me so mad but Ill leave it with this one thought: Aside from the sad fact that there are human beings on the other side of these numbers, the scary thing is that the government is making decisions based on these numbers.  Unemployment rising or lowering is virtually meaningless to me, as it paints an incomplete picture. angry!

Connecting on LinkedIn is Like Asking for a Date - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Connecting on LinkedIn is Like Asking for a Date - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Have you considered that when you are connecting on LinkedIn you should follow the same rules that you used when you asked for a date? I have been married for over thirty years. I only vaguely remember those awkward feelings when asking for a date. I do remember that I did not want to be rejected, ignored or dumped. When you are connecting on LinkedIn, consider the following: How do you know this person? Did you meet at a conference or meeting? Did you read an article on their website? Did you comment on their blog? Is it a personal or a virtual relationship? Why do you want to create a connection on LinkedIn with this person? Do you want to network with this person? Do they work at a company that you are targeting? Can they introduce you to decision makers? Can they help you get your next job? Do you think they are doing interesting work and would like to connect personally? Is there anything you can do for them? People rarely do this but if there is something reciprocal in nature to the connection mention it. Why are you asking for the date… eerr.. connecting on LinkedIn? How do you know the connection? When you connect you have seven options for categorizing the connection. Colleague â€" You work with now or did work with the person in the past. Folks be honest. Classmate â€" We went to school together or at the very least went to the same University. We have done business together. Friends â€" Pretty obvious Groups â€" We belong to the same LinkedIn group.   This is a very powerful way to connect. Other â€" You will have to provide the connection’s e-mail address. I do not know xxx â€" If you specify this you will get a nasty pop up message saying “Invitations should only be sent to people you know personally.“ Use the one that is true and honest. When you ask for a date you know you should be authentic and put your best foot forward. When connecting on LinkedIn be authentic! Do not tell me we worked together when we have not! Do not tell me we are friends when we just met for two minutes at a networking event. What if none of them are true?   What if you just met at a conference very briefly, you work at different companies, you did not go to the same school and you do not have any groups in common? I use the most powerful aspect of LinkedIn â€" LinkedIn Groups I just met Mary at a conference and I have her business cards with her e-mail address, I could connect with her using the friend option and explain where we met.  Well that is not really true. Would I call up Mary and tell her I was her friend? That is like going immediately to a second date and skipping the first date. What should I do instead, is check out Mary’s LinkedIn profile to see what groups she participates on LinkedIn. I will typically pick two groups that makes sense for me to belong and join them. Why two groups? I do not know how long it will take to be approved. Once I have been approved to one of her groups, I will write a connection request like the following: Mary, It was great meeting you at XYZ conference. (notice I specify where we met). I looked at your profile and saw that you belonged to ABC LinkedIn group. I just joined this group. It looks like I can learn a few things and contribute a bit in the group. I look forward to meeting you again and corresponding about EFG (whatever we talked about at the conference). I would enjoy continuing the conversation. (Give Mary a reason to stay engaged) Please accept this invitation to connect. Marc Miller This invitation quickly tells Mary: Where we met What we have in common Gives her a reason to stay connected I am a real person and not just sending out SPAM This is using the same tactics that men have used for years. If you want to meet a girl, you hang around those groups, classes, clubs,… where the girls you want to meet congregate. In this case, you join a LinkedIn group. I am dropping all of the little hints that I like you and would like to get to know you. I want to go out on a date….eerrr… I want to network with you. If she has no groups that makes sense to join then connect as a friend but explain that in the connection request. Be authentic, personable and most importantly tell me how we know each other! If you want a date, …errr… connecting on LinkedIn, then you should behave just like you are asking for a date! Give it a try and let me know how it works!

How to Get Your Ideas to Go Viral - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

How to Get Your Ideas to Go Viral - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Speaking in front of any group of people is truly nerve-wracking. You may question whether you’ll remember everything you wanted to say, or get so overwhelmed that you completely forget  major points. You may loose sleep over whether the audience will be receptive to your ideas. Many people have great ideas but few bring them to the masses and are able to execute them so others can benefit from them. Too often we give up on our ideas and assume that success is for other people, those who are  smarter, more connected, more capable or financially secure. The truth is that great ideas only get known to the masses when they are properly presented and when influencers help spread them. Nancy Duarte, author of the recent HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations, says that the most powerful device known to man is an idea. “A single idea from the human mind; it can start a groundswell, a flashpoint for a movement, and it can rewrite the future”. But, an idea is powerless if it stays inside of you. The only difference between an idea that is adopted and an idea that dies is the way it is communicated. Changing the world starts with a compelling story The  most effective way to convey an idea is through a story. There’s something captivating  about a story structure that makes it so that when it’s well constructed it can be ingested and recalled by the person receiving it. Duarte says, When a story is told, the heart quickens. When a presentation is told, the heart flat-lines. Her research  addresses the question, Why do we sit with rapt attention at a story, but are bored with a presentation? Stories have a definite shape: Great Communicators use this shape Duarte says that a great story has an arc that starts with a beginning that paints a picture of the audience’s current world, then what could be, back to what is, and then what could be until theirs what she refers to as a new bliss. This is the turning point in the story where something unexpected happens that surprises and involves the audience. How to captivate an audience Be audience-centric Take  the time to understand  your  audiences perspective and develop all your material from a place of empathy toward them. You’re asking them to adopt your idea, which means they may have to abandon a belief they hold as true â€" and that’s hard. So, know your audience â€" imagine what it would be like to be them. What are their biggest worries? What are their biases that could cause them  to resist your message? How do they prefer to spend their time?  What do they read, what music do they listen to, who are their influencers? Most presenters are pressed for time and prepare their  content rapidly, which results in making  the material about their own narrow perspective. By switching  that paradigm to an audience-centric approach, your material will resonate and the audience can feel a deeper connection to you and your material. Duarte says, you need to understand your role in the presentation. So many people feel like they’re the central figure â€" kind of like the hero of the story â€" because they’re the one talking the most. But in reality, your role is that of a mentor â€" you should be giving the audience a magical gift or a special tool, or helping them get unstuck in some way. You have to defer to your audience. When you put your idea out there for an audience to contend with â€" if they reject your idea, your idea will die. You have to think of it as, “The speaker needs the audience more than the audience needs the speaker.” Then you’ll start to approach a material with your audience in mind â€" you’ll have more of a stance of humility than one of arrogance. That will help you create the kind of movement needed to get your idea to spread. And then she points out the importance of  wrapping your content in story. A story serves like the sugarcoating on the outside of a pill in some ways â€" it just makes it go down easier. If you look at preliterate generations for thousands and thousands of years, stories would pass down from generation  to generation    and stay almost completely intact. Yet, a lot of people can’t remember the last presentation they sat through. So, using principles of story â€" the tension, build up and release that happens in a story â€" that’s what will help persuade the audience toward your idea. What is the best way to start creating a presentation? Duarte advises not to not start in PowerPoint. Presentation tools force you to think through information linearly, and you really need to start by thinking of the whole instead of the individual lines. I encourage people to use 3×5 note cards or sticky notes â€" write one idea per note. I tape mine up on the wall and then study them. Then I arrange them and rearrange them â€" just work and work until the structure feels sound. And from that sound structure, you start to fill it in using a presentation tool. Why Videos go Viral? Ted Allocca, trends manager at YouTube says that videos go viral once they’re picked up by what he calls “tastemakers”. Tastemakers, creative participating communities,  complete unexpectedness,  these are characteristics of a new kind of media and a new kind of culture  where anyone has access  and the audience defines the popularity.  For example, Justin Bieber,  got his start on YouTube.  We all feel some ownership  in our own pop culture and as participants we shape who becomes famous based on what we share. Last year, Bear Vasquez (better known as Yosemite Mountain) posted this video  that he had shot outside his home in Yosemite National Park.  In 2010, it was viewed 23 million times.  He just wanted to share a rainbow.  Prior to this post, he had posted lots of nature videos that didn’t go viral.  This video had actually been posted  almost a year before it got noticed.  So what happened here?  Jimmy Kimmel posted this tweet  that would eventually propel the video to be as popular as it would become.  Because tastemakers like Jimmy Kimmel  introduce us to new and interesting things  and bring them to a larger audience. Making a great presentation and making ideas go viral go hand and hand. You need to believe in your idea, know your audience, pull them in so their interested and then be lucky enough to have a tastemaker notice your idea so they share it with a larger audience. Through the audience’s generosity of sharing, your idea could spread and become useful to the masses. That is if you have the interest in tuning into what interests your audience and presenting so they want to hear it. No one needs to give you a green light to create a video that goes viral. If you create enough of them and they peak the interest of an influencer, you too could become the next sensation.

Networking Tips from the Godfather - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Networking Tips from the Godfather - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career In the opening scene of the 1972 classic, The Godfather, Don Corleone (The Godfather) and Bonasera (the undertaker) engage in a conversation around favors.  Bonasera desires justice to be served on the young men who assaulted his daughter. After some discussion, Don Corleone agrees to punish the guilty and in return, he informs Bonasera,  Someday, and that day may never come, Ill call upon you to do a service for me. This famous scene delivers a powerful lesson about networking etiquette. Ignore the type of service that Don Corleone is willing to provide instead, focus on the foundation of the agreement. One individual is willing to assist another who is in need, and in return an offer is made to reciprocate in the future. This willingness to reciprocate is vitally important to ones success in networking. In my networking efforts, I always offer at the end of the conversation or email,  If I can be of assistance to you, I would be happy to repay the kindness you have extended me.    Most of the time, as the Godfather indicated, that day may never come,  though I know individuals appreciated the offer of assistance should they need me. People whom I reach out to for help understand that I am willing to help them as well it has become part of who I am and how I am known. You could say, it has become part of my professional brand. Some unemployed individuals, recent graduates, or current students will often question what they can offer to a networking contact.  The most common requests I have heard made by a networking contact to a  mentee, are: Helping in staffing an alumni club event (if networking through an alumni chapter) Meeting with someone in the future who is in the job search to relay strategies/advice Speaking with a son/daughter about college (especially true for students who are networking with alumni) Introduction to a professional you know/are connected to Two years ago I met with a young man who was on the swim team at the university where I worked. I helped him with a resume, gave him tips on networking, provided access to online resources, etc. and at the end of the meeting, I asked him for tips on swimming as I swam as part of an exercise routine. He was able to assist me with a need (improving my swimming technique) in an area where he had expertise. He was able to reciprocate. You never know how you may be able to provide a service  for someone in need as long as you are willing to reciprocate with an offer of assistance in the future, it is an offer that even Don Corleone couldnt refuse!
