Executive Coaching is an experiential and individualized leader development procedure that builds a leader's capability to accomplish short- as well as long-term organizational objectives. It's conducted through one-on-one interactions, driven by data from multiple viewpoints, and based on shared trust and admiration. The corporation, an executive, together with the executive mentor operate in partnership to achieve maximum impact. The training partnership is really a win-win strategy in which all partners plan the approach together, communicate openly, and do the job cooperatively toward the ultimate accomplishment of overarching organizational objectives.

It's currently the second most popular video on the internet, right behind a fifteen year old young girl singing regarding her most loved day of the week. Casey, the Australian young boy suspended for bodyslamming a kid for taunting, has stimulated editors to come up with their own renditions of the event, including this Street Fighter Zangief online video. Casey never thought he would be a glorified cult hero when he dropped the little one, but that is precisely what he is turning out to be, whether he likes it or not (word of mouth is that he doesn't worry about it).

Consumers have real needs, real fears, real anxieties. The marketer who does the best job of addressing them stands the best chance of emotionally connecting with the consumer.

Measuring influence is the new obsession in the social media world—adding another layer of anxiety to the dark cloud of existential dread that is marketing ROI. Social media present us as individuals seeking status within a community, which is something that humans have been working at since our days as monkeys. Indeed, science tells us [...]

Google has had very little to say to hurting webmasters who saw their rankings tank overnight due to Google's rollout of the Panda Update. Many of these webmasters have depended on traffic from Google to pay mortgages and feed their families -- and many sites were forced to lay off staff and no doubt others have just shut down.

Previously, beyond telling webmasters to identify and remove (or improve) low-quality or "shallow" content, Google hasn't had much to say. Until today, at least. In a new blog post on Google Webmaster Central, Google's Amit Singhal has posted what he calls "guidance" to webmasters in the form of 24 questions you should ask yourself as you go about recovering and determining "quality."

NBC's coverage of President Obama's speech last Sunday attracted the most viewers overall of any of the broadcast or cable channels that carried the event.

Both efforts address the collection of online data by marketers without people's knowledge.

Because I don’t have much else to do in my free time, I keep a list of bad taglines I come across. Those forced to read my blog (co-workers) know that most of the material for this list comes from the funeral home industry ("Making Your Loved One’s Lasting Eternity A Special Memory" and, my personal favorite, "Because You Deserve It"). Another rich vein is the dental care industry. Here are a few for Friday Fun:

Making Smiles A Reality. For whom is the ability to smile just a far-away dream? And how many of them are there that a dentist could operate a profitable business around this one unfortunate group?

Dentistry By Design. I should hope it was by design. Are there some dentists out there who didn’t intend to be dentists at all, but started out as auto mechanics, only to find their wrench yanking a molar out of someone’s mouth one day?

Where Quality Meets Dedication. I wonder how far this place is from the dental group that has "Where Artistry & Technology Meet" as their tagline.

Thorough Attention, Every Time. The bulk of your fist is in my mouth – what could possibly distract you?

A Smile Is A Window of Opportunity. Only in some neighborhoods.

Patient-Focused Care. This particular tagline is used a lot in one form or another: customer-focused service, patient-focused quality, client-focused solutions, people-focused results...blech. What do the non-patient-focused dentists focus on all day?

When Quality Matters. Chances are, no one cares a whole lot about the quality of the paper clips or thumbtacks or bobby pins they buy. But no one hops onto the exam chair and says, "Well, if you wanna just do a half-ass job on this root canal, that’s okay – it’s not one of those times quality really matters."

What all of these taglines have in common is they’re all cop-outs, to some extent. A tagline should communicate your competitive advantage – what you do that no one else in your industry (at least in your market) can. It should reflect your point of difference. And it should answer the consumer’s question, "What’s in it for me?"
