IABC's Executive Accreditation Seminar

IABC's Executive Accreditation Seminar: Last opportunity to

sign up

Dear Natasha,

I'm writing to let you know about an exciting new program designed

specifically for senior-level communicators who wish to achieve the

Accredited Business Communicator (ABC) designation, the global standard

in organizational communication. The intensive, six-day Executive

Accreditation Seminar at Royal Roads University in Victoria, British

Columbia, Canada offered on 21-26 March 2010 is an elegant, efficient

and interactive new format to earn your ABC.

The seminar combines the ABC accreditation process, led by two

experienced ABC instructors, with a leadership development curriculum

from Royal Roads leadership faculty that offers ABC candidates an

opportunity for professional reflection and growth as they proceed

through the ABC curriculum and evaluation. This opportunity is open to

any IABC member who has a minimum of 10 years experience in business

communication and who holds a bachelor's degree, or a total of 15 years

of combined post-secondary education and relevant work experience.

A central feature of the seminar is the “Communication Leadership

Challenge,” which involves a presentation by an actual organization

facing a significant communication issue. Candidates for the ABC will

then consult with the organization, and this consultation will be built

directly into the ABC curriculum during the week. The challenge offers a

real-world basis for evaluating the candidate's abilities. It will

address a communication case study, as well as ethical and philosophical

aspects of communication.

Royal Roads is a public university with a special mandate to provide

applied and professional degree programs and executive education to the

working professional. The Executive Accreditation Seminar will be held

at the university's picturesque campus, a national historic site on an

oceanfront property with century-old Hatley Castle as its centrepiece.

Participants will leave the weeklong program qualifying for:

– An ABC designation from IABC, if the credential's requirements have

been met.

– A certificate of completion from Royal Roads University.

– A new network of senior-level colleagues and peers.

– Knowledge that you have contributed to the success of a

community-related effort though the leadership challenge.

– New skills and knowledge that can be applied to other real-life

communication challenges.

We hope to include you among the candidates for this unique experience.

Go to http://www.iabc.com/abc/eas.htm for more information and to apply.

The deadline for application submission is 1 February 2010. Apply early

to secure your place.

Ned Lundquist, ABC

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

– Theodore Roosevelt

The next iteration of the JOTW Survey is in the planning stages now. We have some great incentive prizes to encourage subscribers to participate. I am inviting those who want to contribute a prize or a service for the 2010 JOTW Survey to let me know before the end of 2009.

Do not send prizes to me here at the JOTW World Operations Center.

Send your item and description to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

When you offer to give prize, you get a paragraph to describe the prize, and yourself if you want, so you can write it off to promotional considerations.

*** Non-New Year's Resolution:

Ned –

I quit making New Year's resolutions some years back. Seemed an

artificial requisite for approaching life deliberately. I keep lists of

projects that span days, weeks, months and years and am satisfied if I

“move the ball forward” on life's playing field.

Which brings me to the real reason for this missive. Though I'm no

longer active in media/information/public relations, I enjoy reading The

Very Next Step and keeping up with the industry. (Truth be told, I put

ripples in the pond of social order here in southern Oregon with local

articles, political maneuvering and appearances at public meetings.)

What is most useful to me, however, is the concept of the Very Next

Step. Whether it is the slow recovery of my home (we became empty

nesters in September) or the continued conversion of the old cabin to a

shop, considering the Very Next Step in a deliberate way makes progress

inevitable. Sometimes the Very Next Step is to sit down and look the

situation over. Sometimes it's wandering around with a tape measure, an

exercise I call “measured thinking.” Sometimes it's thinking like a

mechanic, realizing that one part of the problem must be dealt with

before the next. Applied to everyday life, the concept of the Very Next

Step is both calming and rewarding, and I thank you for that.

As for travels and adventure, my wife and I plan to travel the great

State of Oregon this year and see the Wonders of the Northwest. I've

been all over the state, while my wife had traveled Washington state

extensively before we married and took me many interesting places while

we were courting. My turn.

I'll keep working on making our home here in the hidebound hills more

comfortable, and enjoy some armchair travels with the cast of Very Next

Step. And I'll try to whittle that project list down to something less

than 400.

Walk in Peace – Jack

*** Have you noticed how many roadside rest areas are closed to save

*** Off season.From Bruce Blake:

Hi Ned –

Thanks for including me below.

Here's more:

What's your favorite “off season” destination?

I really enjoy going to Europe “off-peak”.

There are no crowds, the prices are much better, flights are plentiful,

and you won't have to worry about staying somewhere where there's no AC

as you might during the madness of high summer in the more heavily

touristed spots.

Walking to various sites is more fun when the weather is crisp. Sitting

by the fireplace in a cozy pub to warm up for a bit with your favorite

beverage, map and guide book can also add a bit of old world charm to an

otherwise uneventful location or occasion.

Besides, you probably aren't going to London or Paris for the beaches,

right…? But do check opening hours if there's a museum or other

attraction you MUST see, as these are often open with limited hours from

late fall to late spring.

*** There were massive air travel delays over the holidays, from

weather to airport lockdowns. Did you experience this? Can you share

your story with YVNS?

*** Up Helly Aa:

The abiding influence of the Vikings, who arrived in Shetland just over

1000 years ago, is celebrated on the last Tuesday of January every year,

by the largest fire festival in Europe – “Up Helly Aa”.

Actual participants must have been a resident in Shetland for five years

before they can take part in a squad and the procession.

Up Helly Aa is a tradition that originated in the 1880s. Since then the

festival has been an annual occurrence in the Shetland calendar. The

festival is cancelled by exception, the following dates record when and

why:

1901 Death of Queen Victoria

1914 to 1919 First World War

1940 to 1948 Second World War

Their have also been postponements as listed below:

1900 2 weeks due to influenza

1936 2 weeks due to death of George V

1965 1 week due to the death of Winston Churchill

After a torch-light procession of up to a thousand “guizers” through the

streets of Lerwick a full-size replica Viking longship is ceremonially

burned. The “guizers” and onlookers then repair to local halls for a

night of revelry, dancing and partying.

Summer visitors can get a flavour of this mid-winter extravaganza at the

Up Helly Aa exhibition in Lerwick where the regalia, props, costumes

and a replica longship are on display.

The villagers spend four months building the ship, or galley as it is

called, and as it goes up in flames in the winter night the crowd sings

'The Norseman's Home'.

For safety reasons, spectators must refrain from distracting guizers

when they are carrying burning torches. Who doesn't like parades,

Vikings, bag pipes and fire??

*** U.S. fliers sample “exotic” service on fifth-freedom routes

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2009-12-07-foreigntravel07_ST_N.htm

(Via SmartBrief:

http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/tzuojurODtzyaUfCcWhscNxcJZ)

FIFTH-FREEDOM ROUTES

Among major foreign airlines' “fifth-freedom” routes:

. Philippines Air: Las Vegas-Vancouver

. Korean Air: Los Angeles-Sao Paulo; Los Angeles-Tokyo

. Air New Zealand: Los Angeles-London Heathrow

. Kuwait Airways: New York JFK-London Heathrow

. South African Airways: Washington Dulles-Dakar, Senegal

. LAN: Toronto-New York JFK

. Air India: Newark Liberty-Frankfurt; Chicago O'Hare-Frankfurt

. Air Tahiti Nui: Los Angeles-Paris Charles De Gaulle

. Jet Airways: Newark Liberty-Brussels

The term “fifth freedom” stems from the nine air-rights “freedoms” that

countries typically negotiate in their bilateral aviation agreements.

Some of the so-called freedoms are more straight-forward than others.

The first freedom, for instance, simply grants the right for a nation's

airlines to fly across the airspace of another. For example, the U.S.

aviation pact with Canada gives U.S. carriers the first-freedom right to

fly across Canada on their way to Europe or Asia.

The fifth freedom, which allows the unusual U.S. flights coveted by

airline enthusiasts, is somewhat more complicated. But, in simple terms,

it allows the a carrier of one country to sell tickets on a flight

between two other countries as long at least one leg of the journey

begins or ends in the carrier's home country.

For example, Kuwait Airways has fifth freedom to carry passengers from

New York to London because its part of a Kuwait Airways service that

continues on to its home nation of Kuwait after the stop in London.

But because some nations' flight agreements are more restrictive than

others, fifth-freedom flights are not allowed between just any set of

countries. Because the complexity of overlapping aviation pacts often

restricts options for fifth-freedom routes, they tend to be fairly

unusual.

*** Trail volunteer opportunities

Enjoy the beauty of the Hank Aaron State Trail and make a real

difference by volunteering with the Friends of Hank Aaron State Trail.

Through the Friends, many volunteer opportunities are available for any

schedule to help maintain and improve the Trail.

The Trail is ideal for bicyclists, walkers, runners, and skaters, and

currently provides a 7-mile continuous connection via dedicated trails

and marked streets between the lakefront and Milwaukee's west end. The

Trail starts at Lakeshore State Park near the Henry W. Maier Festival

Grounds, winds its way through the Historic Third Ward and Menomonee

River Valley, past Miller Park, and ends in Doyne Park. Both ends of the

Trail link to Milwaukee County's 96-mile Oak Leaf Trail, making it

possible to bike from Lake Michigan, along several trails across the

state, and eventually link to the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and

Military Ridge State Trail.

*** Trekking poles:

I've threatened to get these many times. Some of my friends swear by

them.

What do you think? Gimmick or essential gear?

*** From Jim Stewart:

Ned asked for my thoughts on the need for trek poles. A well-balanced

and robust person like Ned likely would not know the difference with or

without poles. Not being the same as Ned, I have knees that tend to

swell after downhill trails and I make occasional slips on rough trails,

I have found trek poles to be an indispensable aid to hiking. The

makers can quote what their research has shown on overall decrease in

knee stress; I can just say they help me – a lot. A bonus off the trail

has been their use to prop up my backpack or use to hold up a trail tarp

shelter. Bottom line for me is that trek poles are essential gear, for

Ned, they could be a gimmick.

Jim Stewart

(All true. Jim has even used his poles to safely remove a 13-rattle

rattler from the rocky trail in front of our Scouts.)

*** Plan ahead:

Hi Ned,

This email is timely since I'm current at 38,000 feet returning to

Toronto from a Nevada (work) & California (play) excursion.

I definitely like to plan ahead, and seek out the less travelled path.

The great thing about travelling is to meet the locals and eat and drink

like they do. One tip that I'm going to start implementing is if the internet

is available, why not spend a couple extra hours on the plane scouting

out new options before you land.

South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Land diving is a springtime ritual:

males tie their feet up to liana vines (when they're at their most

elastic), then swan-dive 35 meters. The goal: to have their shoulders

touch the ground (and not die)-doing so, they say, ensures the earth's

fertility. If it sounds like bungee jumping, it was the inspiration:

Land diving footage captured by David Attenborough and the BBC in the

1950s led to the bungee's popularization.

*** From Mark Sofman:

6.) Full time Assistant Innkeeper, Stonewall Jackson Inn~B&B,

Harrisonburg, Virginia

I am looking for a mature full time person or couple assist in the

operation and management of this thriving 10 room Inn. While I am

looking for an experienced assistant(s) Innkeeper, a mature

inexperienced person(s) with good allied experience to train would be

considered, however, they must have the aptitudes and personal qualities

that match the profile of successful B&B Inn Keepers. A two week

volunteered work sample/probationary period is required as part of the

post interview successful application process. This will insure that the

applicant and the Inn will have an informed basis for any employment

contract and compensation package that is negotiated.

On-site lodging is required and is provided as part of the compensation

package in a new apartment on the first floor of the Inn. Free Lodging

will be provided to all applicants who are doing their voluntary work

sample during the probationary period. If hired, monetary compensation

will be in the form of a salary at the management level for assistant

Innkeepers, or at a training level for inexperienced innkeepers. Salary

levels will be negotiated depending on your interview and work sample

qualifications and will be competitive with the going rate for B&B

cottage industry.

Initial work sample duties involve mastery of housekeeping procedures,

taking telephone and on-line reservations, serving breakfast on our

outdoor patio/deck, checking guests in and out, interacting with and

assisting the guests, helping with luggage, giving directions and/or

making reservations at one of the local restaurants, concerts, or

University functions. Working smoothly with our Inn keeping Interns, my

Administrative Assistant, and myself as the Owner/Innkeeper as a

Hospitality Team Member is critical. In general, you will be presented

with typical Inn keeping task performance situations with all the

different team members,

As you can see from our website (www.StonewallJacksonInn.com) , as the

owner I am the only on-site Experienced Innkeeper and Manager of this

beautiful Inn located in the Gateway to downtown Harrisonburg. If you

have dreamed about working in upscale surroundings with other

well-trained and easy going staff, this may be a dream-come-true for

you. But as the entire hospitality team interacts with the Guests, we

want only smiling faces that project “I love this job!” & I want to make

you happy!

So, the initial qualities you need are;…to be well-groomed, neat,

clean, good health, agile, energetic, and eager to work; be able to lift

40lbs, negotiate 3 flights of stairs easily, clean with attention to

detail, have a “green thumb”, make windows shine, and feel at home doing

all the tasks of a well run Inn and be a responsible team player. If you

wish to apply, please send me your portfolio which would consist of: an

appropriate resume, a helpful narrative personal history and description

of your situation, why you think you would like living and working at

this B&B,. A picture would be helpful, but is not necessary. I will

respond to all such applications with a telephone interview. Remember,

you must be willing to volunteer a non-paid, “try-out” two week

work-sample at the Inn at your convenience, working with our great

Hospitality Team . Then, if selected you will be offered and employment

contract.

We have a beautiful place and have a winning Hospitality team. If you

are mature, like responsibility and have the “Right Stuff”, we would be

happy to have you as an Inn Keeping team member. We enjoy what we do.

You won't get rich, but you will have a good job and lots of fun! Be

advised that, being an Inn Keeper is a position and professional career,

not just a job. If you have the dream and the “Right Stuff” The

Stonewall Jackson Inn can make things happen for you!

“New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.”

— James Agate

Here we go for another year and your connection with this network. That connection requires your involvement and participation. This is the award-winning free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators, dedicated to the positive unanticipated consequences of networking. JOTW is a cooperative service that relies on the contributions of its members, like you. We share job opportunities, news and information about the job market, as well as swapping stories about life's peculiarities. We connect you with others who are like you, and together we help each other. What a concept.

Will JOTW get you a new job in this new year? Maybe. What is certain is the fact that some of you will have a life-changing experience because of this newsletter and this network. We just don’t know who it will be, but it might be you. Or you might contribute the opportunity that change everything for someone else. Who knows?

How does it work? First of all, it doesn't cost you a cent. If you find out about a job opportunity in communications, send it to me (lundquist989@cs.com), and I'll share it with the JOTW network. It's that simple. And we share dozens of opportunities each week. Did I mention it was free? Your friends can sign up by sending a blank e-mail

to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com. It's free for them, too.

You are among 11,342 subscribers in this community of communicators.

This is newsletter number 811.

This network is all about connecting communicators and sharing opportunities. And speaking of sharing, since the JOTW newsletter was started, more than 25,000 job opportunities have been listed and shared with members of this network. 27,349 to be exact, as of this morning.

I can’t change your e-mail address for you. But you can. Send a blank e-mail from your old account to JOTW-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then send a blank e-mail from your new account to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.

If you can read this newsletter, then you are on the JOTW list. If you did not receive your JOTW newsletter by email in your in box this morning, it is because you have a junk mail folder, spam filter, or capacity issues on your end.

*** Sign up for some cool offers

Shonali Burke turned me on to Groupon, and I heard about it on the Area 224 site. I had to check it out. Each day Groupon tells you about something cool to do, see, buy, or eat at an unbeatable price, in your area…provided that the minimum number of people sign up. For example, if a Groupon offer let’s you buy $35 worth of coffee for $15, you only get that offer if the minimum number of people set by the company making that offer actually sign up for it. That way the company knows it will have a certain amount of business in order to extend the offer. They get customers. You save money.

Sign up to receive daily Groupon offers in your area.

If you sign up, Ned gets $10 to buy stuff with at Groupon, and you don’t have to buy a thing.

Send your item and description to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.

When you offer to give prize, you get a paragraph to describe the prize, and yourself if you want, so you can write it off to promotional considerations. The list of prizes will be maintained at www.nedsjotw.com, posted in JOTW and in the JOTW Monday Morning Chasers, and at the JOTW Facebook and LinkedIn group pages.

*** Pat Valdata counts for something:

To Ned, who wrote: “As we complete the first decade of the 21st century, communicators have seen dramatic changes over the past few years.”

What was the first year of the decade?

2001

How many years are in a decade?

10

Therefore, what is the last year of the first decade of the 21st century?

2010

Please let’s not revisit the mistakes of Y2K when all the math challenged thought 1999 was the last year of the 20th century. In our system of arithmetic, we start counting at one, not zero. Hence: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

And please let’s all pronounce the new year twenty-ten, not two-thousand and ten.

Pat, channeling Charles Osgood and wishing all a very happy new year!
