from
Coaching Businesses to Success
Dear
Friend,
Welcome!
Thank you for waiting, for
the inaugural copy of the new 'Eight One-Liners' Monthly
Newsletter, from Coaching Businesses to Success. I am delighted
to be here! Some of you will already be aware of newsletters from me
- the increasingly popular 'Weekly Management Tips' from Fast Track Development and the monthly one
from TPDCoaching.com/martinhaworth.com, which this one replaces. In
all, we send out around 900 newsletters a month and
growing.
This one replaces my monthly one and I promise will
be even more fun, topical and a source of developmental learning for
you and if you care to share, all the people who work with and for
you.
It is from a deep desire to be...
'...helping you,
to help your people, to help your business
grow...'
...that the new website
is gradually taking shape. It comes with over eighty pages (and
growing) of free content and literally thousands of hints, tips,
ideas and articles to help you. There is no doubt that if you take
the tools to heart, you will be an absolutely excellent manager of
people and your success; their success and the success of your
business will be guaranteed.
Each month there will be three
articles for you to read - this time by me and published on the
internet. To date my articles have been read by over 1200 people who
have gained from their publication. More will follow with a target
of over 200 article publications by the end of 2005 and a readership
of over 20,000. Readers of this newsletter will be first in line to
receive information about these.
So what's all this about
Eight One-Liners then, I hear you ask?
Well, each
month I am going to offer you eight questions. Each question
will ask you to dig deep and work out reasons, ideas, challenges and
ultimately solutions to issues you face, day-to-day in your
business.
There will be more, much more to come, both in the
newsletter and on the website. The questions will be cumulative and
generative - if you work a little on them, you will definitely grow
as well.
I look forward to your feedback for future
issues.
I hope you enjoy this journey with me!

This Month's Articles
...three from the Article Bank...
Building Shareholder Value Through Your
People
By using your best asset, your people, really
well, it helps you and your shareholders benefit. Your people have
wonderful skills and leveraging this is what makes good businesses
truly great. Click here for more...
Why I Always Keep My Promises
It's a small thing,
but it is important. In your business, forgetting little things
promised causes erosion of trust and belief in you. And ultimately,
those little things add up to a lot for your people. And that
affects you and ultimately your business success. Click here for more...
Procrastination and JDI
Getting better information
makes for the more correct decisions. Yet the fear of 'getting it
wrong' sometimes means that we use collating information and all
sorts of other seemingly completely valid tactics as a good excuse
for being slow to decide. Click here for more...
Eight One-Liners
...to get your brain juices flowing...
These are questions related to the Eight Key Steps
which can be found on the home page of the website. The titles are
pretty much as you see here and there are about 40 special areas
related to the Eight Key Steps.
With me so far
:-)?
Anytime there might be some help for you, there will be
a link by the question and there are links to each of the steps -
just click them and off you go! If you get 'text' newsletters, then
the links may look a bit untidy - so be forgiving and play with the
links a bit!
OK then - here we go!
Why don't you get
the answers? Because it will spoil the fun, challenge and long-term
development you'll get thinking the questions through or working on
it with your team! See it as a little course, where you get the next
questions, next month. Hey, this is coaching, so you work out your
own answers - OK? I promise, you do have it in you!
