Power is a communication, consulting and training company. m-news
includes information about related themes - six quick snippets about
business, organisational and individual effectiveness, communication
and public relations. Communication empowers.
Karen Morath, managing director, M Power The ‘quick six’ for July are 1. Effective public relations
1. Effective public relations “Effective public relations is about doing good things and telling people about them.” I don't know where this definition originally came from, but it has driven our consulting ethos for many years. Public relations is very much more than this but, as a starting point for putting a plan together, it gets you thinking in the right direction. If we can assist with your public relations strategy, planning or implementation please contact us.
2. A quote we like
“How would you like to be ‘tolerated’? Wouldn’t you rather be understood and appreciated? We don’t need more tolerance; we need more curiosity about each other.” Source – Hugh Mackay
3. Making a winning first impression You only get one chance to make a first impression, as the saying goes. But did you know that within the first 30 seconds of meeting, people judge you

5. Gratuitous plug for M Power M Power recently worked with a metropolitan council to stage an event which celebrated the role of recreation in life and also launched its recreation policy to the community. M Power consulted on the concept, providing a communication solution and event management expertise, as well as providing MC Alan Murphy and keynote speaker Ron Barassi who ensured the event was in great hands. Having a function? Need to hold a launch? A training session? M Power’s speakers will make it successful, enjoyable and memorable. Contact us on 9510 2592 or email@mpowercct.com
6. This month's book review
Purple Cow. Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable. Seth Godin, 2003, Portfolio by Penguin USA. All of Seth Godin’s books give me ‘publishing envy’. They are little more than brochures, sell millions and don’t contain much more than an explanation of their respective titles. Indeed, the strap line of this book – transform your business by being remarkable – is the whole idea. Be remarkable. Under no circumstances be very good – that’s boring. The reason his books sell so well is - of course – they’re great. Remarkable in fact. To buy Purple Cow from Amazon click here.
