Dating and the Art of an Executive Summary

Image
  Some rights reserved  by  Beatriz AG You won't be very successful dating by walking up to a woman and spouting off a list of your characteristics or accomplishments. You must be interested in her. More importantly she must find something interesting in you. Too many times we write executive summaries as a listing of our accomplishments. That is not the first thing that an executive wants to read. They want to read about how your project affects them.  Executive summaries are about the executive! Read your last report and ask yourself if it was all about you, or about how your project helps the audience. If it is just a puff piece written to make your self look good, news flash, it won't. In fact it will make you look weak and begging for attention or recognition. Like hitting down on a golf ball to make it go up, you must focus on them in order to get them to focus on you.

Ugly woman, in a fancy car, covered in jewels

I saw this woman driving a brand new BMW with a fancy jewel encrusted rolex type of watch and jewels on every finger, multiple shiny sparkly ear rings and necklaces.  How does this happen in today's world?  I thought only beautiful people are rich and happy. Or beautiful people are all rich and happy. And all happy people are rich and beautiful. So us normal/ugly folks have no chance to be happy or rich? Right? Wrong! Happiness, wealth and beauty have nothing to do with each other. Each has their own trap and weight to carry. True beauty is on the inside, not in the braiding of hair or expensive outward expressions. When you go to your next job interview, try to show the real authentic you.
