Small Business Speech

The Aspects of Running a Small Business General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: By the end of my speech, the audience will be able to identify four aspects of operating a small business. Central Idea: Operating a successful small business requires attention to many aspects including management, marketing, clients, and location. Organizational Method: Topical Organization Intro: Who as ever wanted to run their own business? You get to make all the rules, tell everyone what to do, and spend most of your time sitting back in your big comfy chair counting all the stacks of money your making.Would you want to run your own business now? Well, what if I told you this isn’t what the average business owner does and is actually pretty far from the real true. Today’s small business owners are the backbone and drive behind the success of a business and above all, in charge of and responsible for everything the business does. However, there are many challenges that face small b usinesses today and an article written by Michael Alter for INC. com in 2013 listed that the major challenges for small businesses lately have been the economy, government regulations, and the tax environment (Alter, 2013).This is why operating a successful small business today requires attention to many aspects including management, marketing, customers, and location. I am personally a small business owner and have operated a summer rye wicking business since 2004, which explaining that is another speech in itself, so know the joys and discomforts of running your own business. Signpost: The first aspect of a successful business is its management. Body: I. Having the right management allows employees to know what they’re doing and how it relates to the goals of the business. . Every business has an owner, or owners, who first started the business and are the ones in charge or effectively the managers for the business. b. It is essential for the owners to convey their vision f or the business to the employees so everyone can understand the direction and goals of the business (Kiser, 2004). c. Getting everyone on the same team and to understand what their job is is essential to the operation of a small business. Signpost: As management has to do with employees, marketing focuses on the ustomers. II. One of the most important aspects of running a successful business is knowing the market. d. Not only is it imperative to know the product or service being offered, knowing whom that good or service is focused towards is equally important. e. A quote by Scott Kiser in his Keys to Running a Successful Business in 2004 states â€Å"If everyone is your market, then no one is your market† (Kiser, 2004). Meaning a product can’t be sold to everyone but instead a specific market. f.Knowing what the target market consists of and if there are enough customers to maintain steady business is an essential part in the success of the business. g. In my personal business, my client’s word-of-mouth marketing is one of the main ways I gain business through providing a quality service. Signpost: As marketing deals with finding the right area of customers, keeping the business of customers is a whole different part. III. Every business, small or large, needs customers to survive. h. As with marketing, knowing what customers inside the target market want is crucial for success. . How the customers purchase the service or product along with meeting their growing demand is a vital part in providing quality service and keeping their business (Kiser, 2004). j. Making sure the product they buy, or the service provided, meets or exceeds the customer’s satisfaction is essential to maintaining a quality relationship. Signpost: Just as customers are vital to a business, the location serves are equally important purpose. IV. Every business needs a location to operate from whether it has one employee or a thousand. k.The business location ca n mean the difference between success and failure, which is why the location is one of the single most important factors in a small business as stated by Caron Beesley of the U. S. Small Business Administration in 2013 (Beesley, 2013). l. Some business can be operated from home, while others need a physical store front. m. Either location can work as long as it does not interfere with the interaction with the customers and the goal of the business. n. My personal business is based out of my home, but requires me to travel to each individual client since it is based on a service.Signpost: To summarize let’s look back at the aspects required for a successful small business. Conclusion: Running a small business may seem like an easy job, but in reality, it requires attention to many vital aspects. Management is crucial for directing employees and keeping the overall goal alive. Marketing is required to know the needs and wants of the customers and customers are required to for t he business to survive. Location is vital to the success of the business and the interaction with the customers.So next time you hear someone go on a rant about small businesses and how â€Å"†¦you didn’t build that, someone else made that happen,† think of all the aspects described today (Staff, 2012). Think how every small business owner takes each of these elements into careful consideration in order to â€Å"build† a successful business. References Beesley, C. U. S.

This helps them not only to extend their portfolio into the luxury, super premium, premium segments, but also makes them probable sourcing partners for these brands in India as well as internationally. Vice versa, luxury brands gain access to well established distribution channels and customer base.

What Does the Term Modern Classic Mean in Literature

The phrase is a bit of a contradiction, isn’t it? â€Å"Modern classics†Ã¢â‚¬â€it’s a bit like â€Å"ancient baby,† isn’t it? Haven’t you ever seen babies sporting wise yet cantankerous looks that made them seem like smooth-skinned octogenarians? Modern classics in literature are like that—smooth-skinned and young, yet with a sense of longevity. But before we define that term, lets start by defining what a work of classic literature is. A classic usually expresses some artistic quality—an expression of life, truth, and beauty. A classic stands the test of time. The work is usually considered to be a representation of the period in which it was written, and the work merits lasting recognition. In other words, if the book was published in the recent past, the work is not a classic. A classic has a certain universal appeal. Great works of literature touch us to our very core beings—partly because they integrate themes that are understood by readers from a wide range of backgrounds and levels of experience. Themes of love, hate, death, life, and faith touch upon some of our most basic emotional responses. A classic makes connections. You can study a classic and discover influences from other writers and other great works of literature. That’s as good a definition of a classic as you’ll find. But what is a â€Å"modern classic?† And can it meet all of the above criteria? Something Thats Modern Can Be Familiar â€Å"Modern† is an interesting word. It gets tossed around by cultural commentators, architectural critics, and suspicious traditionalists. Sometimes, it just means â€Å"nowadays.† For our purposes here, let’s define modern as â€Å"based in a world the reader recognizes as familiar.† So although â€Å"Moby Dick† is certainly a classic, it has a hard time being a modern classic because many of the settings, lifestyle allusions, and even moral codes seem dated to the reader. A modern classic, then, would have to be a book written after World War I, and probably after World War II. Why? Because those cataclysmic events shifted the way the world sees itself in irreversible ways. Certainly, classic themes endure. Romeo and Juliet will still be foolish enough to kill themselves without checking for a pulse thousands of years from now. But readers who live in a post-WWII era are concerned with much that is new. Ideas about race, gender, and class are shifting, and literature is both a cause and an effect. Readers have a broader understanding of an interconnected world where people, pictures, and words travel in all directions at warp speed. The idea of â€Å"young people speaking their minds† is no longer new. A world that has witnessed totalitarianism, imperialism, and corporate conglomeration cannot turn back that clock. And perhaps most importantly, readers today bring a hardened realism that stems from contemplating the enormity of genocide and perennially living on the edge of self-destruction. Modern Themes and Styles Shift With the Times These hallmarks of our modernism can be seen in a wide variety of works. A glance at previous winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature brings us Orhan Pamuk, who explores conflicts in modern Turkish society; J.M. Coetzee, best known as a white writer in a post-apartheid South Africa; and Gà ¼nter Grass, whose novel  Ã¢â‚¬Å"The Tin Drum†Ã‚  is perhaps the seminal exploration of post-WWII soul-searching. Beyond content, modern classics also demonstrate a shift in style from earlier eras. This shift began in the early part of the century, with luminaries such as James Joyce expanding the reach of the novel as a form. In the post-war era, the hardened realism of the Hemingway school became less of a novelty and more a requirement. Cultural shifts have meant that obscenities once viewed as outrageous are commonplace. Sexual â€Å"liberation† may be more of a fantasy than a reality in the real world, but in literature, the characters certainly sleep around a lot more casually than they used to. In tandem with television and movies, literature has also shown its willingness to spill blood on the pages, as violent horrors that once would not even have been alluded to now become the basis of best-selling novels. Philip Roth is one of America’s preeminent authors of modern classics. In his early career, he was best known for  Ã¢â‚¬Å"Portnoy’s Complaint,† in which young sexuality was explored in unprecedented ways. Modern? Certainly. But is it a classic? It can be argued it is not. It suffers the burden of those who go first—they seem less impressive than those who come after. Young readers looking for a good shocker that reveals all no longer remember  Ã¢â‚¬Å"Portnoy’s Complaint.† Great Examples of Modern Classics One modern classic is Jack Kerouac’s  Ã¢â‚¬Å"On the Road.† This book is modern—it’s written in a breezy, breathless style, and it’s about cars and ennui and easy morality and vigorous youth. And it’s a classic—it stands the test of time. For many readers, it has a universal appeal. Another novel that often appears atop the contemporary classics lists is Joseph Heller’s  Ã¢â‚¬Å"Catch-22.† This certainly meets every definition of an enduring classic, yet it is thoroughly modern. If WWII and its ramifications mark the boundary, this novel of the absurdities of war stands definitively on the modern side. In the science fiction aisle—a modern genre in itself—â€Å"A Canticle for Leibowitz†Ã‚  by Walter M. Miller Jr. is perhaps the modern classic, post-nuclear holocaust novel. It has been copied endlessly, but it holds up as well—or better than any other work in painting a stark warning of the dire consequences of our path to destruction.

Fort Collins Medical Center And The University Of Colorado...

In the following document Banner Fort Collins Medical Center (BFMC) and the University of Colorado Health at Poudre Valley Hospital (UC Health at PVH) will be examined. To begin with, both organizations will be briefly described. Then a nursing philosophy will be introduced for each organization. Following the nursing philosophy, a compare and contrast of each organization’s philosophy will be illuminated. Finally, the summary will conclude with any additional thoughts on philosophy as it relates to the findings of the two organizations described. Initially BFMC was born with the merger of two nonprofit organizations, the Samaritan Health System and the Lutheran Health System in 1999 (Banner Medical Center (BMC), 2016). Today BMC has grown into one of the largest non- profit healthcare systems in the country with its 29 hospital networks in 7 states, and greater than 39,000 employees (BMC, 2016). This past spring of 2015, Banner opened up its 29th hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. The facility currently has 24 beds and 149 employees (BMC, 2016). Key services that the Fort Collins facility provides are; emergency care, medical imaging, orthopedics, surgery, women’s services and telehealth (BMC, 2016).

A critic in every port familiar dangers Essay Example For Students

A critic in every port: familiar dangers Essay MUNICH: Politics were mostly absent both on and off the stage at Theater der Welt, Germanys biennial international festival of performance, held this year in Munich. Home of sunny weather, green parks, packed beergardens and well-heeled bank employees, Munich appears mostly secluded from the racial violence, the recession and the reunification tension between Ossis and Wessis that have recently confronted other German cities. Even the closure of the Schiller Theatre in Berlin, part of the governments 60-million-DM cut to the arts, caused only a small ripple in the theatrical festivities. Racial hatred and economic blight being by no means exclusively German problems, it was curious to note how, in a festival entitled Theatre of the World, so few shows reflected the political realities of their own communities. The National Theatre of Craiovas two productions, Titus Andronicus and King Ubu and Scenes from Macbeth, were exceptions. Both pieces explore violence in the quest for political power and are obviously rooted in Romanias recent Ceaucescu days. King Ubu, which employs scenes from Macbeth as theatre within theatre, chaos amidst chaos, mixes palpable gore with music hall burleque. In this haunted-house entertainment with a 40-member cast, the acting is Munsters-in-drag meets East European clowns, the tempo is military, the audience is assaulted in the lobby during intermission. The productions finest moments come when violence crosses the line into visceral comedy, and one glimpses the impact the characters bloody and flippant quest for control must have had on it s original Romanian audience. The festival high pointa production called The Street of Crocodiles, created by the England-based multinational troupe Theatre de Complicitewas also politically charged. A testament to the imagination and an outcry against those forces that destroy it, Crocodiles is based on the life of Brunno Schulz, a Jewish writer shot by the Nazis, and his collection of short stories by the same name. The style is good-humored Kafka, where books become birds, men crawl out of traschcans a fraction of their size, characters walk down the wall at a 90-degree angle, woodworking tools become an orchestra, and characters are transformed from human to animal and back again. The choruss mime-based work is superb, taking on the quality of claymation as the play imaginatively suggests rather than tells the story of its central character, Josephwho, like Schulz, falls victim to armed racial hatred. The combination of visual comedy, dark foreboding and sudden terror leaves the audience thoroughly shaken. With the exception of these shows and a pair of presentations from South Africa, the festival programming showed little interest in world politics. Luc Bondys highly touted production of John Gabriel Borkman was a star vehicle, with advance press hailing Michel Piccolis interpretation of the central character. Although executed with great taste and the occasional whiff of black humor, the production regulates its surprises: Bondys direction, with the exception of a few sublime expressionistic moments, remains rooted in the standard naturalistic mode, and Piccolis acting claims a disproportionate amount of the audiences attention and dictates a doddering pace. Near the top of Act 2, Bondy adds an indulgent 20-minute solo for Piccoli in which the actor evokes the doomed financiers shady past by his wordless interaction with the set; the momentum of Ibsens penultimate play evaporates in the process. Far more satisfying was LHomme Qui, Peter Brooks adaptation of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, in which 13 case studies, taken almost directly from Oliver Sackss book on disorders of the brain, are reenacted on a small, stark island stage. The striking simplicity of Brooks staging offers little to draw focus from the actors work, but in this instance the focus on the actors serves to create a relationship of great intensity, even complicity, between performer, character and spectator. The pieces four culturally and linguistically diverse actors play both doctors and patients, and, although they work carefully to physically embody the characters, no attempt is made at naturalistic pretense. Accompanied by a live Middle Eastern musical score, they simply present the characters and the case. The result is surprisingly moving. .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf , .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .postImageUrl , .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf , .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:hover , .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:visited , .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:active { border:0!important; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:active , .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .uab505e5b4723cd48a061ef6c5ccdb8bf:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Painting the stage EssayThe Teatr na Pokrovke production of The Three Sisters shares some of Brooks pre-occupations, including repositioning the audience in relationship to the actors and the characters. Audience members sit at the Pozorov dinner table, eat sandwiches and apple cake, and are invited to take part in a birthday toast to Irina; when the table is cleared, the audience is moved to the side and the actors continue to play in their midst. The intimacy feels exhilaratingly intrusive; when Natascha unbuttons Andrejs shirt and runs her fingers through his chest hair, the close-ups are akin to sitting inside a television set. But the Russian troupes virtual reality-style Three Sisters is not ultimately as rich or evocative as the Wooster Group of New Yorks variation on the same play, offered with a companion adaptation of The Emperor Jones under the title Fish Story Parts I and II. Mixing live action with collaged sound and video, the Wooster Group uses character as mask, video as puppetry, and movement and sound as plot. The experience, part theatrical crossword puzzle and part jazz improvisation on Chekovs play, manages to reframe the text and discover contemporary reading of the Russian masters musings on the future of the past. The result is a theatrical world as foreign and familiar as Blade Runner and, despite Munichs beergarden camouflage, as dangerous as our own.

Understand own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning free essay sample

In accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) it is the duty of every employer to ensure the provision of such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of his employees. In a catering environment this means effectively teaching the correct use of potentially harmful equipment such as knives, hotplates etc as well as food safety regulations for the safety of others. HSWA (1974) applies to every workplace in the UK and addresses the health and safety of employers and employees within the working environment. It outlines the legal responsibilities of individuals for health and safety issues.

East Northamptonshire Council, who issue the licences for food premises and carry out periodic inspections of the premises in my area, also require that there is always a person on duty who has obtained the level 2 Food Safety qualification relative to the business ie catering, manufacturing or retail. The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) is a registered charity and the professional voice for environmental health.

The Equality Act (2010) is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Act legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of: †¢Age †¢being or becoming a transsexual person †¢being married or in a civil partnership †¢being pregnant or having a child †¢disability†¢race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin †¢religion, belief or lack of religion/belief †¢sex †¢sexual orientation These are called ‘protected characteristics’. You’re protected from discrimination at work, in education, as a consumer, when using public services, when buying or renting property and as a member or guest of a private club or association. Diversity is about more than equality, it is about valuing variety and individual differences and creating a culture, environment and practices which respect and value differences for the benefit of society, organisations and individuals. As a director and trustee of my charity I am responsible for ensuring that we adopt an Equal Opportunities Policy which starts with recruitment. All applications are treated appropriately and someone cannot be rejected because of their gender, colour of skin, religion or any other discriminatory reason. As a Christian charity I must pay particular attention to ensuring that religion is not a factor in recruitment. Our staff are volunteers, we recruit via Nene Valley Community Action, social networking sites, website and notice boards. I believe that our volunteers will see me as an example of equality and diversity in action: I am an overweight female, nearing retirement age with a profoundly disabled daughter and I am a committed practising Christian; none of these things makes me any different to anyone else. 1. 3Explain own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning. Although my role as a teacher is largely imparting practical knowledge in a one-to-one setting it will not be sufficient to simply give information to a passive student. Reece and Walker believe that, â€Å"the modern teacher is a facilitator: a person who assists students to learn for themselves†. (Reece Walker, 2002) I consider that to maximise the learning potential and fully embrace that this is the ‘lifelong learning sector’ it is the duty of the teacher to inspire, motivate, and develop self belief frameworks. The success of this will be determined by how well the teacher can identify the needs of the student then plan a scheme of work based on the syllabus and their individual needs. The role will then be to deliver or facilitate learning in a suitable manner for the student and to assess them to ensure that the student has learnt the necessary skills and knowledge. Finally the role is that of evaluator. By obtaining feedback from the student and evaluating the teacher will be able to modify or make changes in the future. The Teachers Standards which were introduced on 1 September 2012 set a clear baseline of expectations for the professional practice and conduct of teachers, from the point of qualification. They replaced the previous standards for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and Core, and the GTCE’s Code of Conduct and Practice for Registered Teachers in England. I consider that it is my duty to uphold all the key elements of this standard: †¢Set high expectations which inspire, motivate and challenge students †¢Promote good progress and outcomes by students †¢Demonstrate good subject knowledge †¢Plan and teach well structured lessons †¢Adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all students †¢Make accurate and productive use of assessment. Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment †¢uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour †¢treating students with dignity, building relationships rooted in mutual respect, and at all times observing proper boundaries appropriate to a teacher’s professional position †¢having regard for the need to safeguard students’ well-being, in accordance with statutory provisions †¢showing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others †¢not undermining fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs 1. 4Explain own role and responsibilities in identifying and meeting the needs of learners Assessing learners’ needs is the process by which it is possible to identify what it is that is needed to provide a â€Å"good† course. Daines, Daines and Graham define this as a course â€Å"that is relevant to [the learners] needs with clear statements of purpose and having appropriate content presented at the right level and pace† Establishing students needs is the identification of what needs to be dealt with in order to help the student to gain the learning outcomes they are seeking. Interview an initial assessment will assist in the process to establish areas where learning support is needed Areas of difficulty might be †¢dyslexia †¢English as a second language †¢physical or mental disabilities During the 1970s and 1980s the concept of different learning styles that are intended to identify how people learn best. became popular in psychology and education. There are many different ways of categorizing learning styles including David Kolbs Experiential Learning Theory model and Jungian learning styles based on Carl Jungs theory of psychological types. However Neil Flemings VARK model is one of the most popular representations. In 1987, Fleming developed an inventory designed to help students and others learn more about their individual learning preferences. In Flemings model, sometimes referred to VARK learning styles, learners are identified by whether they have a preference for visual learning (pictures, movies, diagrams), auditory learning (music, discussion, lectures), reading and writing (making lists, reading textbooks, taking notes), or kinesthetic learning (movement, experiments, hands-on activities).
