WITI Leadership
Leadership Skills: Getting a Derailed Effort Back on Track
By Marian Cook
At some point in your career, you are likely to be in charge of a project or initiative that is - how shall we say it politely? - underperforming. I was once asked to take over an ERP implementation that was going very poorly indeed. In fact, the client said that if the previous project manager ever stepped foot on the client's property again, they were going to call the police. Since, as the African proverb says, "smooth seas do not make skillful sailors," I volunteered to take the project over. I knew that if I could get the situation back on track, the learning would be tremendous and personally rewarding. Besides, there was no place to go but up!

WITI Personal Growth
Denying the Truth
By Jane Herman
There is something I will bet that you do that you are not aware of - and it is seriously undermining your personal relationships. I call it "denying the truth" - and I don't mean lying to cover up your own thoughts or actions - I mean denying the truth of the other person.
We all live in our own version of reality and for us it represents our "truth." At the deepest recesses of our being we "just know" what we think, feel, see, hear, etc. and for us it is indeed our reality.

Talking Price on Life Insurance
When we buy most things, price is often a deciding factor where we buy it. Why pay more for the same things? Indeed why, if you are comparing the same thing. Just look at these monthly, female, non-smoker life insurance rates:
| Coverage Age |
$1,000,000 |
$500,000 |
$250,000 |
$100,000 |
| 30 |
$21.88 |
$13.56 |
$8.97 |
$7.88 |
| 40 |
$28.88 |
$17.06 |
$10.72 |
$9.10 |
| 50 |
$69.13 |
$38.50 |
$21.44 |
$14.00 |
These are the rates for a 10 year term policy, based on a super preferred health class, which the majority of the public can not meet the underwriting requirements to buy.
The price certainly is right, but is this a good buy? Yes and No. Yes, it is an excellent buy if the need why you are buying life insurance will disappear within the 10 year period, like a student loan. No, it is a poor buy if that need continues and you are living after ten years. Term insurance is temporary. If you use term insurance for long term obligations, it will end up costing you more and finally be of little or no use to those you are trying to protect.
Are we against a person buying term insurance? Absolutely not! We sell term and lots of it. Term insurance is a great buy when it fits your need for insurance or is best for your immediate budget. Next time we will talk about how much life insurance do you need, what kind is best for you to buy and where to get the tools to do your own planning on this type of purchase. Life insurance is a major purchase. Let us give you the tools to plan for yourself and save money.

"The hackers are getting more malicious and more clever. Traditional security measures aren't working anymore, so you have to step up your vigilance and improve security." - Andy Faris, Message Labs Inc.
Please join us October 16-17, 2008 in Washington, DC, for a gathering of CISO's, CSO's, CTO's, Directors and Managers.
With Cyber terrorism continuing to escalate for the U.S. government and businesses of all sizes, computer experts recommend companies take the necessary steps to protect their valuable data. Some companies find it hard to justify spending money on network security, especially large amounts, however the financial burden will most likely be much higher if they don't protect themselves now.

Upcoming Network Events
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
