With the new year just around the corner, now is the time to inform your clients that your rates will be going up next year.

Character is who you are when nobody is looking and you can get away with anything. Character consists of two things: 1) Your values – what you deem important in your life; 2) Your integrity – the extent to which your choices and actions in life are consistent with your values. If I say I value honesty, but I lie constantly… I’m out of integrity with my values.

Many Government contractors writing proposals to the Government often tell us that the job of responding to the requirements of Federal Government solicitations (RFPs) seems daunting.

Planning is not an optional activity for managers. And whether you are managing a front-line team or the Head of an organization, you are a manager. The head of the organization has the strategic plan which is also their personal plan. Everyone else in the organization who is accountable for a team must also have a plan. Why? Without a plan, the manager of a team is like a paper boat in a creek.

You want to write in a way that speaks to your reader. Put another way, you want to make sure your marketing (e.g., email marketing, outreach emails, website language), uses “you” focused language, not “I” focused language. You want to focus on the recipient, not just talk about yourself and your business. This rule applies no matter if you’re promoting your services as a consultant, pitching a guest article or interview, or promoting yourself.
