I remember a sentence you say during the previews that there are always opportunities amid the crisis!

What you have written strikes me! I started writing a blog on my job and experiences in interior design and renovation. It was to build web presence and also because of my passion to share knowledge and educate people who are renovating houses for the first time. I had no one guidance on what to write or how to do it properly but I followed my heart to remain honest and write with the sole intention to provide education. Within the short timespan since Sept 07, our business has grown 500% and most clients engage us after reading the blog! After I read what you wrote today goes to confirm that I’m in the right direction. Thanks KC!

At the end of the day, it’s the individual’s intention and integrity as to how far you want to go in terms of helping others to achieve their goals ilife in the areas of your work.

You can be all three at the same time, as long as you acquire the right skills and knowledge to do your job well.

Of course, in the end he got the number and one sheep.

The sheperd stepped forward to ask the man a question:

‘If I can tell you correctly your profession, can you return the sheep to me’. The man agreed.

‘You are a consultant’, the sheperd said.

‘How do you know?’ the man asked in surprise.

‘You came without being invited and asked to be paid on telling me something i already knew.’

Of course, this is only an joke.

However a truely great trainer re-engineers the influencees’ pattern of thinking and ways of behaving, helps to transform something that is mediocre into something that is excellent.

From a passer-by, neither a consultant nor a trainer

I think consultancy and training have both similarities and differences – having attended CPT myself and held my own workshops, I learnt that training goes beyond that presenter. For every one hour of training, there would be probably 10 hours of preparation and communications to the logistic team, or your team of facilitators.

Consultancy, on the other hand, is normally more one-to-one or one-to-small-group, and I guess there is less emphasis on the presentation skills, but more of coaching. While the consultant does not have to deal with the fears of public speaking, I think a consultant needs to go “deeper” than training.

I feel training and consultancy each require different skill sets, so I don’t feel that consultancy is “lowest level of training”. I guess training is perceived to be more difficult, therefore “higher level”, because there is a need to first overcome the fear of public speaking (I read before that people fear public speaking more than they fear death!)

Content is critical to your website’s success. People who come to your site expect to learn something or take away free information when they leave. The more free content you offer, the more likely they’ll visit again and again.

Content is not terribly difficult to come by. You don’t have to write your own content or even post original material. For instance, if you are a therapist and have written self-help articles for local newspapers, scan these articles and post them in a ‘how-to articles library’ on your website. Almost all your print publications – everything from rotary club speeches to that unpublished book – can be recycled for the Web in this way.

You can post content from other sources, often for free, simply by asking. Many authors will grant permission for you to post their articles on your website, in exchange for a link from the article to their own site. Most will even e-mail you the text as an electronic file upon request.

Soon, other website owners will be calling or e-mailing you, asking to post your articles on their sites. If you hold the copyright, you should grant permission in exchange for a link to your site. You can generate lots of traffic and even sales at zero cost this way.

Stuck for content? Here’s a secret very few people know. The U.S. government publishes tons of free information on all sorts of business and consumer topics, and almost none of it is copyrighted. You can just zip over to a website, such as http://www.1stappraisalservice.com/Links ; find a report or booklet you like; and make this content available on your site to your visitors. They’ll appreciate it because they’d never find the information on their own. All that Uncle Sam asks in return is that you acknowledge the government as the source. Thank you.
