Consumer Complaints for New York Lighting - BBB serving Metropolitan New York, Long Island, and the Mid-Hudson Region

Consumer Complaints for New York Lighting - BBB serving Metropolitan New York, Long Island, and the Mid-Hudson Region

We ordered a house full of new lighting for our remodel over 3 weeks ago and no one has contacted us or done a thing to resolve the late issue of the lighting delivery.  I have a call into the manager of customer service today and now, I am really upset.  We are trying to remodel a home.....

Week 8_Giving Good Presentations

What should a presenter do and not do to be successful.

Do’s: I am a singer since the age of 5, so, I have learned at a young age, how to work the room. Your audience wants to be entertained in somewhat the same way when giving a presentation. 
Do’s: Be yourself. This is your shot at charming the audience with who you really are. Show your passion.
Do’s: Practice with a friend if you can before your professional presentation. If not, practice yourself.
Do: Try to relax by using relaxation techniques. 
Do: Know the material. Do not read it from the monitor or the presentation. Have notes on the side.
Do: End with a question to engage the audience by making them part of the presentation and by making them feel important.
Don’t: You should not take the technology for granted, test it, then, test it again.  Without the technology working, it can derail the entire beginning.  The audience will loose interest before you even start.
Don’t: Be boring. Get their attention from the beginning, and keep it.
Don’t: Do not let others in the room intimidate you. Your confidence or lack of it will show.
Don’t: Say you know or a, or ammmm. If you have a week moment, just take a breath and focus on the topic. Use intelligent words. You’re being judged so make it good. This is your chance to shine or die but, at least you have the chance! Stay confident.

Week 7 Blog

I think that when communicating with someone in school at City University, it would be great to have the option to have their picture next to their name so that you can see just who you are talking to when communicating. 


Fear losing or being without your mobile phone is now called fear nomophobia. The phobia also includes the anxiety someone feels when not in the range of a cell tower to receive optimal reception.  When it comes to technology and the use of the World Wide Web, I worry that it does not make the planet a lonelier place.
