Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School»PostArchive » Telli. InShare0 Adapted from “How to Say What Matters Most,” by Susan Hackley (managing director, Program on Negotiation), first published in the Negotiation newsletter. In their book Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most (Penguin Putnam, 2000), authors Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen tell us how to engage in the conversations in our professional or personal lives that make us uncomfortable. Tough, honest conversations are critical for managers, whether they need to change the group culture, manage conflict within a team, give a negative performance evaluation, disagree with others in a group, or offer an apology. To set the stage for a productive discussion, open a difficult conversation with the Third Story, advise the authors of Difficult Conversations.

The Third Story is one an impartial observer, such as a mediator, would tell; it’s a version of events both sides can agree on. Posada Tepozteco dinner: Bill is grilling baby lamb. College Grads Lack Skills for Workplace? Reprinted with permission of FayObserver.com Grueling end-of-course tests, stressful finals and pomp and circumstance are over for this year's 3 million high school graduates across the country. About 70 percent will go on to a two- or four-year college, while 30 percent will go directly into the job market. Many high school graduates who go to college also will hold a job.

But does a high school diploma or proficiency on exams mean that graduates have the skills to succeed in the workplace? A recent study by ACT, the renowned education testing and research organization, found that while school curriculum and tests are driven by state standards, those standards are not rigorous enough to ensure that students are ready for college or the work force. The survey of more than 400 employers across the U.S. concluded that high school (and college) graduates need skills in the following areas to succeed in the workplace: NBA Free Agents: Source: Chris Bosh to join Dwyane Wade with Mia.

Law Firms Posted Jul 7, 2010 7:43 AM CDT By Debra Cassens Weiss There’s more bad news for some law grads and students who want to work for some East Coast law firms. Associates deferred in 2009 at Shearman & Sterling learned Friday that they won’t start work at the law firm until 2011, according to the New York Law Journal and Above the Law. Meanwhile, job-hunting law students are facing a tough job market in the Philadelphia region as many law firms continue to scale back or cut their summer associate programs, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The deferred associates at Shearman were told to complete a “start date preference sheet” listing three 2011 possibilities: Jan. 31, Feb. 7 and Feb. 14, according to a memo posted on Above the Law.

Shearman has hired 27 summer associates this year, a reduction from the 57 hired the year before, the New York Law Journal says. . • Morgan Lewis & Bockius and Ballard Spahr canceled their summer associate programs, but expect them to resume next year. Sunday Morning Soliloquy: Darren....By Popular Demand. After I wrote my blog entry LUXEMBOURG a few weeks ago, I received an outcry from my public. "What happened to Darren?

" was the question on every one's mind. Today, I will give you the Darren story. Believe it or not. As I mentioned, Darren was my secret admirer that became my boyfriend years after he first set eyes on me. I mentioned that Darren and I had a tumultuous lifestyle riddled with drinking and questionable behavior. We were collegiate outlaws. Me in college After dating for eight months, Darren moved back to his home town in central Illinois. Fast forward. In grad school, I had class Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:30p. One particular day, I left work an hour early to visit the head of the Arts Management department. I walked straight up to Darren and said "Hello Darren" and walked inside. A week later, I made an excuse to leave work early again and head to school.

The end of the semester was approaching. The following week, we met after class and went to a pub for one beer. How to Discuss the Oil Spill With Your Kids. Twin Lakes Mobile Home Park. The Blend of Barista and Sommelier: Starbucks Enters the Wine Biz | Drink Nectar. The Blend of Barista and Sommelier: Starbucks Enters the Wine Biz On June 25, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced that it will use a testing ground store dubbed “Olive Way” to experiment with several new concepts. With rampant growth halted, Starbucks is looking for ways to draw customers back to the store. One of the new concepts is to introduce wine and beer as part of its product offering. Is this a good idea? Will doing so completely change the culture of the store, or is it a brilliant move to capitalize on the distribution network to extend sales into the evening hours?

I think it’s a great idea! I realize it’s not a new concept or new idea. Do you think it will work? Is your barista going to become a sommelier too? While I may have been deflated by the original news, I’m now even more motivated to pursue the business I’ve been thinking about for four years. Untitled.
