Every month over half of all Americans use public media. 170 million Americans connect through 368 public television stations, 934 public radio stations, hundreds of online services, and in-person events and activities. What if tomorrow, that all stopped? ARLINGTON, VA - February 19, 2011 – The elimination of funding for public broadcasting approved by the House of Representatives threatens millions of citizens throughout America with the loss of services that they rely on, especially parents and children. PBS' nearly 360 member stations will be severely impacted. Smaller and rural stations, those that operate in areas with the most limited media choices, would feel the most dramatic effects.

Your Cooperation Please! TeleSeminar Etiquette

Over the last three years, government agencies and businesses have been tightening their belts; the trend is to hold more meetings, classes, and conferences via teleseminar or webinar format. This is important information for those of us who speak, teach, or facilitate meetings for a living. If an organization isn't ready to hire you to speak at their location, possibly the teleconference or webinar format will work for them and you.

"If you don't know where you are going you will probably end up somewhere else." -- Laurence J Peter, 1919-90, Canadian academic and expert on organized hierarchies, from his 1969 book "The Peter Principle".

Some Differences Between Strategic, Tactical & Operation Planning and Execution

2022-08-07T17:46:05-04:00January 27th, 2011|Teams & Groups|0 Comments

Here is how I define strategic, tactical, and operational planning and execution. Strategic helps you create the critical short -- and long-term goals that help you move ahead faster. Tactical helps you implement your strategies and make sure that all the pieces of your business are in alignment.
