Noise Reduction™ Series – Do You Get A “Floater Day”?

mike — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:48:20 +0000

Most business owners secretly long for the day when they can wake up in the morning and make a decision (without any guilt) to take a “floater day” from the office, and all the responsibilities that would entail. So what’s stopping them? Simple answer, the noise that exists that they cannot turn their back on.

It’s that day to day noise, that you thought you were paying people to look after that keeps you from following through on “larger picture” projects, and developing “strategic relationships” that can only be accomplished at your level, that when managed by you will result in your business flourishing to the success you always wanted it to be at.

What is noise? How can it be controlled or better yet, made to go away?

The answer to these questions are found within the Noise Reduction System™. This 10 month course assists a business owner, and their second in command to build the trust relationship that needs to exist between them. Trust is a word over used and not fully understood. Before trust can exist or imposed as a description, both parties involved must be trustworthy. Webster defines trustworthy as, “a charge or duty imposed in faith or confidence or as a condition of some relationship.”

The Noise Reduction System ™ will lay the ground work of trustworthiness between the business owner and their second in command. It systematically identifies areas of concern and drills down with the end in mind until mutual understanding and consensus has been attained. The process is not an easy one, but as the saying states, nothing worthwhile is easy.

If you are a business owner longing for that “floater day”, or to have the ability to truly delegate, you first have to commit to making a change to what you are presently doing. Once you have committed, enroll yourself and your second in command into my course. I will guarantee that after the first class the noise in your world will lose volume, and within 1 year your noise will be completely controlled if not muted.

The next Noise Reduction Course starts in the fall so register today by e-mailing: noisereduction@tbayins.ca

Melanie Albanese is Sales Manager and Partner of Thunder Bay Insurance. She is also a Noise Reduction™ Facilitator and teaches the Noise Reduction System™ in 10 sessions, engaging both First and Second in Commands throughout the course.

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

mike — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:12:00 +0000

As some of you may know, The United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Breakfast was held recently on March 23 at the Best Western Nor’Wester. This 5th Annual Celebration focused its diversity topics around 2011 being the International Year of Youth. We at TBI had the pleasure of attending this fine event and to be part of a grassroots movement to celebrate the community’s effort in eliminating racial discrimination. As much as we must celebrate the steps that we have taken as a community to eliminate discrimination, we also have a long road ahead, and this sentiment was echoed by all presenters. It is not an occasion to rest on our laurels, but a time to blaze a trail towards a future of inclusion and equality.

The attendees of this event were treated by great presenters including: Mayor Keith Hobbs, Diversity Thunder Bay Representative Rebecca Johnson, Student Union of Confederation College Representative Thomas Russell, the Sir Winston Churchill Gay Straight Alliance, and Co-President of the Regional Multicultural Youth Council Gurleen Chahal. The summit concluded with key note speaker, Jessica Yee, an awarded and acclaimed anti-discrimination activist that offered her unique and frank style to the morning’s discussion. Her presentation entitled Racism: The Role of YOUth in Creating Change brought forth her message of accountability, healing, and progression resonated throughout the crowd of over 300 people. Many of her points, although controversial, we’re met with great applause. It’s apparent that she stands up for her beliefs without apology, nor should she. The combination of her in-your-face style, stubbornness, and intensity shed some light on the brutal facts that discrimination happens on a daily basis, and it is up to YOU to be always vigilant.
