Author: Jennifer SimpsonWhenever I'm browsing through a bookstore, books with titles like "The 14 Hour MBA" always seem to catch my wondering eye. That's a great idea - a single book that provides all the information contained in a two year graduate business degree. So yesterday, while I was browsing the shelves at Barnes & Noble, I had a thought. I should collaborate with our Russian translator, Japanese translator and Portuguese translator to develop a 20-minute graduate business program for our new clients. This would allow them to gain valuable knowledge, save money on a bunch of textbooks and improve their chances of landing a great job and the promise of big raises. But suddenly it dawned on me. Why offer this when I could offer an even shorter course? Well of course all of this is just not possible. But just as a builder sets out the specifications of a building before beginning building and selling it, we can also map out the specifications of a graduate business program. In a nutshell, the objective of an MBA program is to help companies operate successfully, and we kept this in mind when we met with our translators to sketch out the common elements of all...more

Offering a gift can be a mutual pleasure; some might say it should be a pleasure for giver and recipient. A problem with a modern commercial Christmas, however, is that buying gifts can become a chore. Often it is a stress ridden chore in the dying days before Christmas Day, as everything gets left to the last minute. A true gift, though, should bring with it no stress; it should come from the heart to be a true gift, and not be out of duty. If someone is resentful of having to spend time and money buying Christmas gifts, then the result is not a gift but a token of duty. Why not makes this next Christmas a time to make the choosing of individual gifts a pleasure for you, and for the recipient. Often in the last minute haste to buy gifts in time for Christmas Day, people become detached from not only the purpose, but also the person to whom they are giving. Bought hastily in a crowded stress filled store, scarcely a thought may pass for the individual on the receiving end, however close they may be to you. Most of the year if not all can be filled with work, commuting, rushing here and there, stresses, and self focus. How about time and attention for those who really matter in your...more
