About my self :

My name is huda and I am a student at princess NORA university  in the fifth level at the faculty of business administration . I started my life with big dreams I want to be a successful and influential person I would like to be a good speaker in forums and seminars. I love the business sector and I seek to gain experience and knowledge through my studies until I achieve my dreams. I chose this department because I see in it  what combines my passion and ambition. I love the business world in all its sectors and enjoy its study, every day learning new thing and new idea ,preparing business plan and Feasibility study , how to chose the market and your audience all of these title Attracts me and draws my attention , I really want to finish my studies after I have acquired enough experience, and start realizing my dream of being a good speaker in my field . 

About the speaker:

I attended a lecture on Monday ,29 of October at the theatre of faculty of business administration . the lecturer is Maha Al hudaithi . Maha is a successful woman with a vision and a dream. She talked about her ambition and how she took a long time to reach it . When she finished her computer information system  studies at prince  Sultan University she decided to study management for a master’s degree but she knew about marketing communication  and its sciences and found her inspiration in it so she decided to study it , maha is a risk taker started from she chose another field to study it which is different from her department and chose unordinary field for women . she inspired me when she advice us to love what you do Because I believe that when a person do what he loves, he will be able to achieves the best results.

About the skills:

The good speaker should have some important characteristic . to support  him , reach the object and convey the idea to listeners , this characteristic may include : passion ,  leadership skills ,communication skills, seeking opportunities ,confidence , risk taker , personal development , speaking skills ,focusing the main title that he talk about and The ability to engage in dialogue . MAHA AL hudaithi was a good speaker she applied these characteristic successfully. she influence us by her skills to achieve her dreams . and the most important skills that impact on me : communication skills and confidence . because I want to be a famous speaker in my field I know how much its important to learn these skills by the right way and apply it in my work .  

communication skills :Can be defined as a set of skills that the individual uses to rely on to successfully convey the idea or deliver certain information to another person through various means, either through written text messages or through oral messages or through body language such as facial expressions, etc. This skill is one of the most important skills for a good speaker. Whatever the subject is talking about or the idea he wants to deliver. The audience will not understand what the speaker wants to convey. The speaker must be frank, unbiased, clear: in the sense that there is no chance of misunderstandings, and this requires verifying every word and phrase used. Briefness and abbreviations: This is by deleting useless information, which is just a filler plus does not achieve the goal of communication .

So the good speaker should improve these skills to reach his goals , In this video we discuss how to develop this skill :

The second most important skill is confidence, if The speaker seeks to excellence, he should trust himself first, and what he says Second, and this confidence must appear on his actions and words, but it does not reach the degree of vanity, and things that help the person to self-confidence, to overcome the anxiety and tension, and not to exhaust himself before the dumping, physical readiness is of great importance, and to trust his abilities, especially in the subject that will talk about him, and that he is familiar with all aspects, says Bob Jerry born: (Talk like you’re talking to one person, and do it even if you’re talking to hundreds at the same time). without it the speaker’s quality will not be complete , it is acquired, developed and not born with a human when he born, so any speaker can develop this skill by several ways such as : Training – Search for what is new in all areas – Reading – Follow up cultural and economic news – Time management – Managing personal crises with a focus – not making decisions in difficult circumstances , All these points and others help increase self-confidence so that the speaker can stand on the stage confidently and speak boldly

In conclusion, everyone in this life has a certain dream that he wishes to reach. Some feel that he does not have a specific goal or dream. Sometimes we need to stand with ourselves and think about our situation. What do we love? Where do we find our passion? And what satisfies this passion. Always look for yourself, discover his likes and try to reinforce him with the necessary skills .

project failure Reasons and how to prevent it

The project establish is the most difficult operations that the companies do it because  It requires efforts and technical specialties and a high level of coordination between these parties during their various phases beginning with the stage of thinking and planning needs . And the Economic feasibility study  followed by the design phase and the preparation of drawings, maps and technical specifications, and ending with the stages of implementation operation and maintenance. Most of the  projects face many problems and obstacles that lead to delays and not to benefit from them  in a timely manner. In this article we will discuss the most important reasons for the failure of projects:

Poor Preparation:

We  need to have a clear picture of the project idea what is about ? how to prepare it ? we also need to understand how is the success project looks like at the beginning . without preparation the project will failure, we will see this failure on the cost, time and product quality in the operation of production  . It is also possible to include poor preparation of the absence of the appropriate team for the tasks of the project, and may be the goods or services provided do not need in the market so the Companies need to prepare marketing research and forecasting for demand to determine the target customer .

Bad Leadership:

What do we mean with the words leader is not only the project manager ,  it is all the people of each level of the management take the responsible to ensure that the project is successful, however Bad leadership includes lack of knowledge of leaders and their ability to dealing  with crises and their ways to solve them, The lack of expertise that are necessary for the project will  lead to the project failure. On the other hand When the leader  neglected the development and training that’s will  leads to a small number of customers and a low sales and therefore failure. the leadership role is to improve and develop the employees and Division the roles between them when this is missing that will occur  a lot of problems even if the company prepare a strong Preparation . bad leadership will  destroy all efforts .

 Inaccurate Cost Estimations:

As we know is very important to planning for everything in your project As estimated costs for the project, when the necessary resources run-out the project will stop and failure . because of the wrong estimate in the first steps.

 Taxes  problems:

Some types of projects that Depends on personal finance, such as small projects, are  affected by taxes. The irregularity of the accounts of the project gives the tax institutions an opportunity to use the negative assessment. actually The lack of adequate data on each facility restricts the work of the tax authority, forcing it to use certain systems on these establishments .

the  Competing :

Services provided by the project may have an equivalent or similar services  in the market. Therefore, competition is a prominent factor in the failure of projects, each project must achieve the competitive advantage to distinguish the market and most of its competitors. Competition may be in several forms: inability to compete with foreign products, services of similar large firms, competition between national products and imported products.

 Cultural differences in global projects:

Cultural differences may be related to project personnel such as suppliers , multi management or to the customers . Some countries or cultures prohibit certain commercial activities and prohibit them for a variety of reasons, such as a common custom, known ethic, religious, racial or sectarian distinction All these reasons may limit the commercial activity of the project and lead to its failure so the  cultural differences diminish the project’s ability.

 

There are no specific reasons for the failure of projects and not limited to the mentioned. Scientists and experts determine the reasons for the failure of projects according  Organization’s situation and the special reasons that led to the failure of its projects
In general, we mention in this video the most important reasons for the failure of projects:

 

in my opinion the Strong preparation in terms of administrative staff who have experience and skills can prevent project failure each organization intends to undertake a new projects  should  bring themselves with a strong management and members have the experience and skills . A strong management will help the organization make the right decisions and invest in good projects, and skilled leaders will organize work between staff and split tasks correctly. Organizations deal with global companies of different cultures and civilizations so they must understand and flourish on other cultures and understand the difference so as not to make mistakes and fail

at the end establishing projects is a long and complex process that is likely to be a mistake and a failure in the first attempt, managers should limit these mistakes by development and improvement .
