Atricle Dump - Networking Organizations Assembling Socially Responsible Professionals
At a recent industry meeting, one of the speakers focused on Human Resource Issues. One area of particular interest to everyone there had to do with Hiring. Virtually everyone in attendance had made a bad hiring decision at one time or another and fully knew the high cost of a bad hire. The speaker advised that it had been his experience that most executives spend too little time preparing for interviews with perspective employees. He went on to say that most executives utilize the same questions for every interview, regardless of the position. He believes that the above practices in part explain the poor hiring results.In the past, I would have agreed with the speaker, but over the years, I have learned

How often have you either referred to or considered the expression, “Success is a journey and not a Destination?” Probably many times, yet often being in a hurry to get there, we forget that success is not an end unto itself, but is instead an ongoing process.Though some people seem to have the Midas touch and easily turn everything to gold, most of us have to give our endeavors lots of time, effort and the sweat of our brow before seeing things come to fruition. The simple truth is that the majority of us are simply not born leaders, but become leaders by who we are and the actions we take. Consequently, whether or not you’re an established entrepreneur or just starting out on your journey, there are
Several networking organizations exist to bring together these professionals to educate, share resources, network and collaborate with the goal of making the world a better place. Take notice of these organizations because they are bound to make a difference in your community.
Net Impact

Net Impact is an international organization with more than 100 chapters. It is comprised of 15 city-based chapters, 17 international chapters and more than 70 M.B.A. school chapters. Midwest chapters include Chicago and Cleveland.
Net Impact helps members to use their business skills for positive social change by providing education, career resources, events and an international network.

Its programs not only allow members to enhance their business network but also broaden their business education, refine their leadership skills and pursue their professional goals.

“Chicago is one of the thought leaders in the world regarding corporate social responsibility. It was a natural fit to start a Net Impact chapter here,” said Mark Mastroianni of B2P Commerce, a leadership team member from 2004 to 2005. “I believe this to be true about Chicago because of the many graduate programs in the city instructing these tenets as well as the social enterprises that call Chicago their home.”

You probably see hostile customers every day. You know, the ones that treat you like a personal dumping ground for everything that has ever gone wrong in their lives? They may be sarcastic, or abusive. They may swear at you, threaten, attempt to intimidate. They are difficult to deal with, and an encounter with one of these people can ruin your day.Although you may be provoked, it isn't a good idea to respond in kind. Doing so will usually inflame the situation, and can, in fact put you at risk. Yelling back, or trading insults can result in only negative consequences for you.Let's face it. You don't have time to waste arguing and yelling...you have too much to do. But you do need to deal with hos

I don't relish being proven wrong. But a while back I sat down to discover who my best clients were. I wanted to increase my revenues. I figured that the best way to do that was to discover who my best clients were and to then go after more firms that were like them. I had hunches about who my best clients were, but my hunches were proven wrong. So I adjusted my marketing plan accordingly. And doubled my income that year over the previous year. If you want to increase your revenues and lower your cost of acquiring new customers using direct mail, then I invite you to learn from my mistakes. Measure your gross sales by client The first thing I did was look at my books

Infomercials began to blossom in 1984 in U.S. They are designed in such a way that viewers believe they are watching a program like an investigative news report. The increasing reliance of the companies on this form of promoting a product can be gauged by flipping through the channels that are full of infomercials.Infomercials may prove effective to a certain extent. It is a sophisticated attempt of initiating a change in consumer behavior. Unlike regular commercials that do not give the viewers sufficient time to believe in what is portrayed, the half an hour infomercial leaves less room for viewers to resist temptation. Thus, somewhat false and unsubstantiated claims made in these infomercials influenc
Social Venture Partners
Social Venture Partners was created in 1997 in Seattle with the vision “to build a philanthropic community using a model that paralleled venture capital practices.” Known as “venture philanthropy,” its intention is to develop the capacity and sustainability of local non-profits through long-term and highly engaged investments of money, resources and business expertise.
As of February 2005, Social Venture Partners has 23 chapters across North America, more than 1,600 partners (members who contribute financially), more than $16 million in contributions and 121 non-profit engagements. Midwest chapters include Chicago, Cleveland, Minnesota and St. Louis.
Each chapter is comprised of people who want to have a positive impact in their communities by making meaningful contributions to non-profit organizations through their skills, time and financial resources.
The shared mission of the partners is to “catalyze significant, long-term positive social change in their communities by educating individuals to be well informed, effective and engaged philanthropists and investing time, expertise and money in innovative non-profits to collaboratively strengthen their organizations.”
Each chapter typically requires its partners to make an annual contribution of at least $5,000, which is used for investing in projects with local non-profits. The investments are geared toward helping non-profits address a variety of issues such as children and education, early childhood and youth development and the environment.
Social Venture Partners Chicago was formed in 2004, currently has 14 partners and focuses on projects that empower the individuals who seek assistance from non-profits.
“I joined Social Venture Partners Chicago because in coming together with a diverse group of partners, we are able to provide a broad range of expertise to the investee organization (non-profits seeking assistance),” said Rebekah Kohmescher of Altair Advisers and a f
