Communicating to Discuss Issues, Solve Problems

February 6, 2021 By FBN

I am honored and excited to have taken office as Flagstaff’s next mayor. The world looks a bit different now than I expected when announcing my run for office, but the foundation of my campaign is now more important than ever – better communication, accountable government and transparency in decision-making. We have seen mass protests across the country and in Flagstaff, a sign that large swaths of the community feel unheard and that their grievances seemingly are unrecognized by those in … [Read more...] about Communicating to Discuss Issues, Solve Problems

We’ve all heard the saying, “No news is good news,” right? Well, not necessarily in the real estate process. While not hearing anything could be deemed as everything is moving along smoothly, it could also mean there are critical dates and deadlines being missed. There should be one person at the helm of the entire escrow/transaction process and typically, that person should be your licensed real estate professional. A lot of companies will enlist the help of a licensed transaction … [Read more...] about Why Communication is Essential in the Real Estate Process

The Art of Nonverbal Communication

June 27, 2016 By FBN

Nonverbal communication can be more powerful – and often, even more influential – than what we say with words. It can have a tremendous impact on how our friends and family understand us. Experts in interpersonal communication have estimated that nonverbal communication constitutes approximately 70 percent of what is involved in communication. In other words, only about 30 percent of communication involves the actual words that we use. To me, this information is remarkable. As parents, we … [Read more...] about The Art of Nonverbal Communication

The Power of Touch

November 20, 2011 By techsuperadmin

Touch is perhaps the most powerful sense of all. From the moment we are born, before our eyes are open, a gentle touch calms us and lets us know someone cares. In the beginning stages of life, a nurturing touch helps create a bond that shapes us for the rest of our lives. Even though research cannot prove exactly how touch positively affects us, it has shown that those who are physically touched on a regular basis experience higher levels of the hormone oxytocin. According to the National … [Read more...] about The Power of Touch

Neighborhood Associations–An Economic Development Tool

Over the last several years, Americans have consumed social media applications at a record pace and are allocating more and more of their waking hours on sites like Facebook and Twitter. “When it comes to election cycles, they’re spending increased amounts of time using social media sites to learn about their favored politicians on their online profiles.
