How to Influence Your Boss

Unless you own your own business, you have a boss and your career success depends largely on how you influence him or her. And even if you are the CEO, you probably have to influence your board.

The skill to effectively to influence upwards is rarely natural and the cost of getting it wrong prevents many from even trying to develop their ability. Yet learning this skill is important for career development as well as organizational efficiency.

We have designed and delivered Influence Without Authority programs for companies such as Microsoft, and each time we have run our Critical Skills for Senior Managers program the topic of how to influence your boss is most popular with participants. And so due to this interest we have decided to run a dedicated half-day program in Singapore on March 22nd.

In this lively and interactive workshop you will learn how to:

• Build your personal brand
• Identify your bosses' ‘currencies’
• Communicate on your boss’ wavelength
• Get free coaching from your boss
• Be proactive and anticipate your boss' needs
• Get your ideas heard
• Get a promotion or a raise

Presentation by Henderson Global Investors and iShares - Blackrock (Singapore) Limited on 28 January 2012

UOB Kay Hian cordially invites you to a presentation by Henderson Global Investors and iShares - Blackrock (Singapore) Limited on 28 January 2012.

Henderson Global Investors: "Opportunities in the Asia-Pacific Properties Market"
Whilst 2011 was a challenging year for equities, Henderson sees 2012 as continuing this theme with concerns on the global macro environment continuing to take centre stage. Focus will undoubtedly remain on the ongoing European debt crisis and its implications for a slowdown in global economic growth. Equity markets have already priced some of these implications into current valuations and Henderson would caution on being too negative. In light of these headwinds, and in response to them, Henderson would anticipate a loosening of monetary and fiscal policy. The encouraging aspects for Asian markets are that inflation is trending downwards, and that policy tools exist to tackle any further economic slowdown. Amongst this backdrop of continuing uncertainty, the characteristics of real estate equities remain firmly in place, offering exposure to the long term growth prospects of the region as well as a stable income stream and dividend yield.

iShares: "Welcome to New Thinking in Fixed-Income"
iShares will provide an overview of the Global ETF Landscape. Participants will also get a perspective of why Fixed Income is an important asset class as well as the benefits of Fixed Income ETFs. In addition, iShares will present an overview of Asia High Yield Market and conclude by sharing with investors the iShares' suite of Fixed Income ETFs. These ETFs allow investors to invest in bond markets at varying levels of risk adjusted return.

Date of Event : 28 January 2012, Saturday
Time : 10.00 am - 12.00 pm
Venue : UOB Kay Hian Auditorium

Please register your participation via www.utrade.com.sg under "Education" > "Market Strategy & Hot Stocks".

Admission is free-of-charge.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Sales & Leadership Mastery

Every salesperson knows that to grow their businesses and increase profits, they need to market it. But according to a recent survey, the biggest problem that most salespeople in Singapore face isn't the lack of hard work or the quality of their products and services. The biggest obstacle that is crippling their chances of achieving a successful sale is that they don't know how to establish and meet their prospects' individual needs. No matter how hard you work or how good your products are, if you go "straight for the kill" without first creating a relationship with your prospective client, you will never close a deal.

If that sounds like one of the stumbling blocks that has been stopping from getting the results you want from your sales efforts, now's your chance to give your selling skills a major upgrade!

You Will Learn:
	How you can apply 1 single strategy that has helped thousands of companies in over 20 countries increase their profits by 280%
	How to break past your biggest selling fears andmake more income in the next 6 months than you have in the past 2 years
	How to sell any product or service without fear of rejection - and avoid the #1 element that most salespeople overlook
	How to tap into your highest level of confidence so that you can make money in any economy
	How to become a master in handling objections and increase your sales conversions immediately
	How to recruit and lead your championship team to success and prosperity
	And much more!

No English Dictionary

haha... received this joke from email... just to share with everybody...

No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words COMPLETE and FINISHED, in a way that's easy to understand.

Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED.

I beg to differ because, there is!!!

When you marry the right woman, you are "COMPLETE"..

And when you marry the wrong one, you are "FINISHED"!

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ...

"COMPLETELY FINISHED" !!
