Lower Level, Lower Pay, Lower Self-Esteem – Can We Fix It? Yes, We Can!

By Jack Shaw on July 21, 2013

In this economy it is easy for any one of us to experience the title of this blog. Of course, we say at the beginning of it all, “I need a job, I can do anything for a while” and “who knows I might even get promoted right back up the ladder.” We want to […]

There’s No Crying In The Workplace…

By Jack Shaw on July 7, 2013

…It’s Your Money and Corporate is to Blame That Your Not Getting It. We all know people who follow their supervisor’s every whim – blowing the way the wind blows. For some reason, you can’t do that. You’re too independent, too creative, but competent nonetheless. Still, you’re being set up to fail. It’s all about […]

A Response to Leaders and Trainers

By Jack Shaw on June 23, 2013

I received a comment on one of my blog articles in which I think the reader totally misunderstood me, and I certainly bear some responsibility for not being clear. A case of bad communication certainly. I should begin by telling you he agreed with something I knew I didn’t say and I couldn’t leave it […]

Using the Arts to Train Leaders

By Jack Shaw on June 11, 2013

I recently reviewed a wonderful professional production of URINETOWN THE MUSICAL and then later came home to The Tony Awards Show. (Ironically, the musical is a satire on corporations and government, taking advantage of the people, and multitude of other things not necessary to go into here.) In spite of the subject matter, the experience […]

How to Enhance Business Presentations with Opinion, or How to Give Content Rich Program a Personality

By Jack Shaw on May 22, 2013

Actually, this is PART II of Trainers Who Talk, Talk, Talk with Nothing to Say… This is a good example of a blog that ran away with itself, or a writer who lost control or became too passionate. It started as a way of demonstrating presentations or training had to have substance and at the […]

Trainers Who Talk, Talk, Talk with Nothing to Say…

By Jack Shaw on May 20, 2013

Trainers who have nothing to say aren’t really trainers. They may be entrepreneurs really. Quite frankly some have just learned how to make a buck with social media in particular and are good at jingoism. Or, to give them more respect, they could be speakers and even trainers who have sold good training tools, depending on […]

Internships: Win-Win-Win

By Jack Shaw on May 7, 2013

Most of us would agree that internships are probably the best kind of training since it involves real world experience usually attached to related academic work. There are some disagreements as to the value and cost to the company. And, although how internships operate, whether paid or unpaid, and does depend on the country involved, […]

Are We Training Corporations to be Too Powerful?

By Jack Shaw on April 25, 2013

The following is strictly commentary. The comments made here are mine and mine alone, and in no part are related to The Free Management Library. Powerful corporations taking advantage the general population seems to be the stereotype, doesn’t it? Are, we, trainers, helping them do that? I know this sounds somewhat sacrilegious, since I, too, have […]

By Jack Shaw on April 22, 2013

As promised, here is Part II of Useful Quotes for Training and Education. I have decided, on a whim really, that I will sit down with my new speech students and let them discuss the meaning of the following quotes, and how they might use them in a speech. Of course, there are useful quotes […]

Useful Quotes for Training and Education, Part I

By Jack Shaw on April 18, 2013

Quotes. Every speaker, teacher and trainer uses them so I thought I gather a few and place them here. It is interesting to note that some are subtle in meaning and some are not. Some will reach all of your audiences, some will not. Most importantly, I suggest to you that if the total meaning […]
