CEWE Seminar: Business Superstitions, debugging the myths: Wednesday 16 January 2013 (5.30 - 8 pm, Royal Foundation of St Katharine)
This event will be themed around business superstitions and debugging the myths that could potentially hold you back.
Superstitions are defined as ‘widely held beliefs with no rational basis’ yet most people seem to hold superstitions which can dictate and guide their behaviour. But what if a superstition held you or your customers back from business development – a sale, a PR opportunity or a new venture? As an example, the fear of the number 13 is so common that there’s actually a word for it: Triskaidekaphobia. Many businesses are affected by peoples’ fear of this number and have had to change their practices to accommodate it. Buildings often avoid a 13th floor and airlines report that every time a ‘Friday 13’ appears in the calendar, flight bookings are down. As we come into the year 2013 what superstitions are you faced with and how do you plan to overcome them?
