Do not accept unsolicited advice from anybody

Unsolicited advice is given purely for the benefit of the giver, not the receiver. Never accept it. Seek out those people whose opinion  you trust and respect and ask them to provide feedback on what you want to receive feedback on. Reject all other offers, it will not help you one iota. This morning I [...]

Enough with the Political-Correctness-Bureaucracy – Stop it!

A FIREMAN would become a firefighter while secretaries would become office managers under a new national jobs standard aimed at stamping out gender bias in Australia. Standards Australia will today release a report proposing an overhaul of how employers advertise jobs and evaluate candidates… “To some extent, we are prisoners of language—if we can’t put a label on something, it is easy to assume it does not exist,” it said. “Some job titles, for example fireman, secretary, can contribute to assumptions about the gender of the job holder and about the nature and value of work.
the Telegraph - Linda Silmalis

Stop it! Stop it, right now. Enough is enough. All of this PC is getting in the road of real work. It’s bureaucratic nonsense. It’s means over ends. Standards Australia is creating so much red-tape that only a bureaucrat would be interested. Andrew Bolt makes some very good points: What is gender specific about the [...]

Bill Shorten ALP

UPDATE: No one could accuse Bill Shorten, the Australian workplace relations minister, of speaking out of turn.

Bill Shorten – and we actually pay this guy!

I haven't seen what she's said, but let me say I support what it is she said.
Bill Shorten ALP

Bill Shorten from the Australian Labor Party shows why we pay him the big bucks to be a politician and implement the will of the people who elected him. Kind of …. sort of …. well, not really. It is kind of sad when the people who brought us the television show, “Yes, Minister” are [...]

Stop talking and start listening to win more business

Arthur Miller’s, Death of a Salesman has Linda responding to Willy as he bemoans that he talks too much: “You don’t talk too much, you’re just lively”. Guess what? Most professional service providers talk too much! Why? Because they are so good at what they do. Because they’re experts and they’re assiduous in displaying this [...]

They talk a lot more about nothing much really, with no genuine intent to back up what they promise. The manner in which they talk changes, also. They begin orating [...]
