kers, mainly from big multinationals, talking about the international aspects of industrial relations and employment law. Then in the evening I had some extremely interesting conversations with the keynote speakers. I hope there'll be useful contacts in the future. But other delegates thought it wasn't very well attended, because the organizers had decided against having an exhibition area, so fewer people came.

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

34. eight common mistakes people frequently make in front of an audience. Second is the

35. tendency of poorly prepared speakers who to 'wing it'. Next, don't rely entirely on a

36. speechwriter—who will inevitably lack of the personal touch, which is vital. Fouth,

37. face up to tough questions and give honest answers—candour is essential to leadership.

38. At least that sounding honest is no doubt very important. As is the fifth point：the need

39. to research in the audience：the talk must be pitched at the appropriate level. The sixth

40. point is that the need to anticipate the obvious first question, which nonetheless often

41. floors the most smartest of expels. One mistake that is surely well known to even the

42. lowliest junior is there is nothing worse than a speaker who doesn't know when he to sit

43. down. Accordingly, when time your speech beforehand, standing up and delivering it.

44. Finally to drop a witty comment or anecdote to loosen up the audience. Nothing is more

45. cringe-making than a joke that falls flat.

Education or experience?

0 Recently there has been much debate done about what should qualify a person

00 for promotion in the business world. In the past, a new employee would

34 start by delivering the office mail. He would then work his way up the ladder,

35 gaining higher and more responsive positions, eventually leading to the management.

36 But with the rapid growth of getting business courses and qualifications there is

37 now another way many of people who aim for top management can miss out on the

38 'mail delivery' stages by studying for a period and gaining in one of the numerous

39 business qualifications now available.. There is some criticism of this accelerated

40 promotion. It is felt that it results in knowledge without also experience, and such

41 knowledge type is inevitably incomplete. On the other hand the growth in business

42 courses has led to much more highly skilled business practices. The answer seems

43 to be that both experience and qualifications have their value, but as it should not be forgotten

44 that experience is

45 a qualification in itself

low the target, in spite of using the consultants, and all the new strategies we've been applying. I can't understand it at all. In order to try and get clear what's going on, I'm going to need input from various sections. What I'd like from you, as soon as you can, is price comparisons for the different regions. I'll also need a report on how useful the consultants' advice was.
