What is a Trainer? What is a Facilitator?
What is a Trainer? What is a Facilitator?
Recently, I've noticed that some corporations call their
trainers "facilitators." I can only assume this is meant to be
shorthand for "facilitator of learning." However, is
"facilitator" really an appropriate term when the "facilitator"

"educate," ...

Researching Your Genealogy
A number of resources exist which can help you research your
family heritage. If you're lucky, one of the best resources is

generation to generation contain nuggets of information that can
help you begin your search. Names of your parents and
grandparents, and their parents, can take you back three or four
generations. Don't ignore spouses of family relatives; not only

How To Start A Video Blog
Copyright 2005 Jim Edwards
Web logs, commonly referred to as "blogs," came into the
mainstream about 2 years ago.
Not really a newsletter or traditional html page publishing,
blogs resemble more of a web-based diary where the creator
records their thoughts, posts links, or responds to questions.
Initially, blogs contained only text and pictures, but then came
"audio blogging," which entails the use of audio on a blog.
Audio blogging also gets referred to as "Podcasting" because of
the ability ...

Anybody Can Be a Speaker!
Anybody Can Be a Speaker!
In my work, I often hear this refrain: "I'm a fine communicator
one-on-one, but put me in front of a group and I just die!"
There seems to be a mystique about the ability to be an
effective presenter...a mystique that many professional speakers
would like to maintain.
Yet the truth is that everyone has the innate gifts to present
effectively in public. True, few may possess the flamboyance of
the professional motivational speaker. But I question the value
of many of ...

Maid Of Honor
What Does A Maid Of Honor Do?
The scope of the maid of honor's role in the wedding depends
upon (1) how much responsibility she is willing to take on, and
(2) how much responsibility the bride is willing to delegate.

bride's very closest friends, and her job description as maid of

everyday travel occurrence ignited a recurring observation I

normal chatter I asked Aquil how long he had been driving.
