November 15, 2017 by NCET Member

Technology has permeated our lives and revolutionized the way we do business. Love it or hate it, we cannot hide from it or do business without it.

NCET Tech Tips: Aikido, the Art of (Business) Peace

May 24, 2017 by NCET Member

Aikido, a Japanese martial art developed by O’Sensei Morihei Ueshiba in Japan in the mid-20th century, arose from O’Sensei’s study of a variety of martial traditions which he synthesized into the art that became aikido. Literally, the harmonious (“ai”) energy (“ki”) way (“do”), aikido is known as the “art of peace.” It is sometimes described as a “soft” form, but that is something of a misnomer as the techniques involve strikes, throws, pins, and parries alongside redirection, awareness, and conflict resolution methods.

Setting a training budget? Double it

July 1, 2016 by Matt Brown

Jim Annis

I’ve been around enough to have worked the spectrum from the quintessential training organization where they “over-trained you,” to the other side in companies where training’s labeled “a waste of money.” Let’s be realistic: Training budgets are often the first things to go when times get tough. Some companies do not even have a training budget (big mistake). When things are good overall like today, you can choose to battle that urge to limit the training line item. Instead, make it affordable and recognize the value.

Still afraid to buy a franchise? Don’t close the door too fast

March 25, 2015 by Matt Brown

Owning a franchise may seem like too big a risk to take on, and in some ways, it can be daunting. Owning any business can present challenges and fears, but there are several questions to ask before determining which, if any, franchise opportunities are right for you. That being said, after the tough questions are answered, franchise business ownership could prove to be a very satisfying and profitable venture.
