Lean: Error Proofing – Make it Personal
================
Let’s make errors more personal. In your daily life, think of errors as time & money wasters and worry sources. Running out of gas, forgetting to turn off the coffee pot, losing your keys and being late are some of the most common errors. You may drive safely 99.9% of the time and average 10,000 miles per year. Yet, those 10 unsafe miles (0.1%) could be disastrous to your life and others. That same error rate will mean:• 2 unsafe landings at Chicago O’Hare Airport daily, • 16,000 lost pieces of mail per hour and • 50 newborn babies dropped each day by doctors. Errors happen because people may lack knowledge or vigilance. Remember: mistakes = Lost Time; Lost Money; and possibly Lost Business. Now, look at your activities and figure out where you can get closer to 100% both at home and work; often “paying attention” is key.

The Listener’s Point of View
================
Speechwriting has just gotten easier – you can now build your speech outline using PowerPoint. Here are the steps to follow:• Open a blank presentation and choose the “bullet” slide layout.• Switch to Outline View.• Brainstorm the things you want to say. Type your ideas one at a time, pressing enter after each idea. PowerPoint will make a separate slide for every idea you have.• Review your ideas critically. Delete any that veer from your topic, don’t bolster your purpose or don’t lead to your conclusion.• Turn on the Outlining toolbar (on the left side of your screen) and rearrange your ideas one last time before turning them into final slides and bullet points.

If you have an opportunity to distribute your materials, do it! Bring products, samples, brochures, or a presentation book to the business meetings you attend. If people can see, feel, touch, hear, or smell samples of the product or service you provide, they are more likely to use you.
