Time Management

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time--classes, homework and activities -- with some family help. College gives you an even higher chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that's a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones. Respond to email while working on a major presentation or order tomorrow's produce while planning next next week's menu.

Someone said, "Wherever you are, be there." Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don't let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can't go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represents their organization in the field. It's never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds if the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

"The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of America experiencing a dramatic fear of it,"said  Dr. Micheal Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. "People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it." Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you're running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one- on-one with others, you'll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.
