Basic Operating Question Boq For Empowerment
April 6, 2009 by Ivette
The company I was working with one day had a culture that was closest to acronym heaven than I had ever before or since experienced. So, I wrote on the flip chart in large letters: B O Q. Today we are going to learn about the BOQ, I said, pronouncing it Bock. My demeanor suggested they already knew or should know what the letters stood for, just the way that most acronyms are stated. Came a flurry of activity as they wrote the letters, trying to jog their collective memories of the words that B, O, and Q might possibly represent. I did not leave them long in this state of mild confusion. They knew me well enough to know that I liked to play. They rose to the occasion and expressed their relief in laughter as I said, pointing letter by letter: Basic Operating Question. One way of thinking of the Basic Operating Question is to consider it your default question. It is the question you think of first when you view a certain type of situation. For example, when the phone rings, the BOQ that comes into your mind is usually something like, Who s that. If you have...

Easy Guide For Overcoming Insomnia
November 16, 2008 by Hayden
To help to ensure peaceful sleep, consciously begin slowing down a couple of hours before going to bed. Avoid working or engaging in any mentally or physically stressful activities in the evening, and spend the evening instead reading a relaxing book or watching a film, listening to peaceful music, or taking a soothing bath. Let go of the accumulated concerns of the day through journaling or relaxation exercises. Establish a regular bedtime, and try to stick to it even on the weekends. Your body responds best to a regular schedule, and you can train yourself to become sleepy at a specific time each evening. Go to bed early, before 10:00 P.M., to take advantage of your body s natural circadian rhythm of getting drowsy at dark and awakening at dawn. Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, peaceful haven for sleep. Even a dim light can disturb sleep, so make your bedroom as dark as possible. Invest in room-darkening shades if necessary to block out external light. If noise is a problem, you can try soft earplugs, but they can be uncomfortable to wear. A better...
