Powerful Body Language Strategies

When conducting meetings and interacting with other people, your body language can become a critical part of your communication and may even come to define your success or failure.

There are a number of simple yet powerful strategies which can make your encounters more productive and effective. If you are an office worker, you can use these strategies to have an edge over your colleague, client or even your boss. If you are a trainer you can use them to make your training more effective and memorable.

Time and Again, the Calendar Comes Up Short

Friday marks the start of another new year, and for a small band of reformers, another missed opportunity.

For the 428th straight year, much of the world will again use the familiar Gregorian calendar. We will suffer the fiscal quarters of varying lengths and the 52 weeks that don’t quite fill the year. We will recite rhymes to recall how many days are in June, and shrug if we are asked whether Halloween is on a weekday.

Im so sorry for these people…nature is unpredictible…life as well…we need just to be patient and to struggle…

Security

Security is a matter of high politics, central to government debates and pivotal to the priorities they establish.

Security itself  a relative freedom from war, coupled with a relatively high expectation that defeat will not be a consequence of any war that should occur. (Ian Bellamy, “Towards a theory of international security”, Political Studies 1981)

A nation is secure to the extent to which it is not in danger of  having to sacrifice core values it if wishes to avoid war, and is able, if challenged to maintain them by victory in such a war. (Walter Lippman, cited in Barry Buzan, People, states and Fear, 1991)

National security may be defined as the ability to withstand agression from abroad (Glacomo Luchiani, The economic content of security, Journal of Public Policy, 1989)

A treat to national security is an action or sequence of events that (1) treatens drastically and over a relatively brief span of time to degrade the quality  of life for the inhabitants of a state, or (2) treatens significantly to narrow the range of policy choices available to the government of a state or to private, nongovernmental entities (persons, groups, corporations) within the state. (Richard H. Ullman, Redefining security, International security, 1983)

Security is an objective sense, measures the absence of treats to acquired values, in a subjective sense, the absence of fear that such values will be attacked. (Arnold Wolfers, Discord and Collaboration, 1962)

If people, be they government ministers or private individuals, perceive an issue to threaten their lives in some way and respond politically to this, then that issue should be deemed to be a security issue (emphasis in original). (Peter Hough, Understanding Global security, London Routledge, 2004)

Secutiry…implies both coercive means to check an aggressor and all manner of persuasion, bolstered by the prospect of mutually shared benefits, to transform hostility into cooperation. (Edward A. Kolodziej, Security and International Relations, Cambridge: Cambridge University press, 2005)
