Why Sign Up For Business Coaching
By Kris Koonar
Business coaching is not solely about fixing broken businesses. Business coaches also work with business owners who are already successful. These business owners sign up for business coaching to help them achieve even greater successes.
Business coaching should not be considered as some kind of therapy. It can only help develop plans to achieve goals and targets. It helps business owners communicate in a better way with their employees and customers and it teaches them to work smarter. The biggest misconception about business coaching is that just anyone would make a good coach. Anyone aspiring to become a business coach requires solid experience, a mastery of communication and people skills, critical thinking and a commitment to the business.
When starting a business, the need to deal with everything can leave the new business owner bewildered. There are many pitfalls and problems to overcome. Trying to set up a business without any help can only lead to disaster. Very few people can succeed in business without any outside help. Never start a business without knowing how to target your market, as it would only be a waste of time, effort and money. Getting into the wrong business with too much competition and not enough demand is another common mistake made by most amateur business people. The fastest way to lose money and valuable time is by jumping from one business opportunity after another, month after month. Money cannot be made in a short time if there is no hard work involved.
Business coaching has been designed to help businesses increase sales

and profits. A major aspect of coaching is to identify what works in different companies and then to duplicate these processes in other companies. Coaching provides businesses with powerful marketing skills and techniques. It teaches, facilitates, informs, clarifies and supports the business owner. Coaching is challenging, exciting and focused. The right business coach can streamline business processes and transform the business with growth. With good guidance, business owners can be transformed into good and effective leaders. Coaching not only helps owners’ deal with conflicts rationally but it also helps them manage employees better. A coach listens, encourages and breaks down everything into simple, concrete steps. He also evaluates and separates the strengths from the weaknesses and uses the strengths to accomplish the goals. The goal of coaching is to make the optimum use of an organization's resources. Coaching is part of the development training for executives and talented new comers. It provides an opportunity for getting new insights and viewpoints. The benefits of coaching can win over the most critical of clients within a short period of time. Coaching looks at all the aspects of business like lead generation, marketing, sales, operations, distribution, product mix, finance and personnel. Business coaching programs are of two kinds - change-oriented, which are aimed at changing specific behaviors or skills, and growth-oriented, which is aimed at strengthening performance. Business coaching is applicable to any field of commerce. What started out in the corporate world as a method of helping stressed out executives with their professional and personal lives has evolved into a technique and practice of increasing productivity, motivating the personnel and improving profits.

Reading experience evolving
If there is a company than can finally establish the ebook as a regular reading experience (not talking about replacing paper books here), I guess it is Amazon.
And they are doing it the big way, or at least starting. See the Kindle device.
The thing is not very sexy, and while it has some nice features, the main point for me is who is trying to seel that to us.
1 - We already are purchasing books from Amazon. We already have an account and we all can do 1-click shopping from this gadget.
2 - They already have the digital content, the publisher contacts, and huge amounts of book metadata... (more)

Agilist attack to a Microsoft subdomain
I didn't know about this Agile Center within the Architecture Center, but it is a great discovery (thanks to Roy for the tip).
Interestingly enough, most of the time Microsoft was ignoring or just pushing Agile methodologies and practices in the real of development issues. This is the first time I see them classifying Agile as an architectural concern, the same I always did.
Maybe I'm unconciously biased by my current (almost full-time) job at Microsoft, but i smell changes...

Seamless integration?
My August editorial for Level Extreme .NET Magazine
Integrating applications -at least at the enterprise level- is today
generating the same amount of work, or even more than building new
ones. In fact, it can be argued that as far as corporations keep
exposing their business processes as cohesive and autonomous services,
integrating them in new configurations is a way of producing new applications.
However, Service Oriented Architecture adoption is still timid and it
is primarily been adopted in new development, whereas just a small
portion of old corporate solutions are wrapped... (more)
Of Mice and Men
My July editorial for Level Extreme .NET Magazine.
We seem to be in the verge of an important change on computer
interfaces. The mighty keyboard dominated the human-to-computer
interaction from the last 50+ years. Indeed, since its beginning, in
the form of a teletype first, then in a more direct way. Output was
more complicated, and moved ahead a bit faster with the jump from cards
to printers and finally to the still dominating (but slowly fading)
Cathodic Ray Tube.
Anyway, computer history is not linear, but logarithmic, and
while the mouse started shaking its tail just a mere... (more)
Next Step: Web IDEs
I wrote about this some time ago on one of my Level Extreme .NET Magazine editorials. It seems I'm not the only one.
Peter Fisk of Vista Smalltalk fame is thinking among the same lines, although for less sophisticated developer types.
My take is that this should happen short-term, but inevitably more complete IDEs will start appearing, and development tools will quickly move server-side.
Meta-Art
I love when software -what I like to do for a living- meets art -something I liked all my life.
