The Cranky Middle Manager Show # 209 Leap with Rick Smith

Today Wayne Turmel talks to Rick Smith, Author of The Leap- How 3 Simple Changes Can Propel Your Career From Good to Great”. We also shamelessly plug some upcoming webinars, salute King David’s career plan and take a new assessment tool. Just another typical Cranky Middle Manager Show.
The Cranky Middle Manager Show #208 Just Listen- Marc Goulston

Today Wayne Turmel gets a return visit from Dr Mark Goulston about the importance of listening skills and how to develop them. Also, a shameless plug for a webinar workshop and a quote from Igor Stravinski. Why do Americans always giggle when they hear the name Igor?
The Cranky Middle Manager Show #207 Project Management Across Distances- Deasun O Conchuir

Today we talk about Managing Projects across the miles with author and expert Deasun O Conchuir. Continuing the Gaelic state of mind we salute the beleaguered project manager of Hadrian’s Wall and you can avoid some of those problems by taking our How to Create and Manage Remote Teams webinar workshop.
Free Webinar- How Speakers and Bureaus Can Use Webinars

Many speakers, buraus and event planners hate webinars and think they are going to kill your business. Two thoughts here, 1) I disagree, they are an important part of your product and offering mix and 2) They’re inevitable so you’d better find a way to make peace with them.

Join me for a special FREE video webinar: How Speakers and Bureaus Can Use Webinars to Grow Their Business. It’s brought to you in conjunction with Telenect.

I’ll be at SMB Nation October 2-4 Where will you be?

I love helping small businesses beat the big guys, so I’m thrilled to be delivering the kickoff speech at SMBNation’s fall conference at the Riviera hotel in Las Vegas. I’ll be talking about how to “whack the weasels” besetting small businesses and how to get the most from what will be an exciting show.
The Cranky Middle Manager Show #206 Common Management Mistakes Aubrey Daniels

Today Wayne Turmel talks about the most common mistakes managers make, mostly because they’re company policy, and why they often backfire. We talk to Aubrey C Daniels. We also look at where the center of the universe is (it’s not Sales) and lucid words from a crazy person. Just another typical day in Crankyland.
