There's Always Another Option - Click To Read Article
If you have doubts and an undefined destiny, I encourage you to take some time, find a quiet place where you can be alone to think, and describe on paper the kind of person you choose to be and the kind of life you choose to live. Create your own options! Write it like anything is possible, because it is! When you have a clear vision and clear intentions, then your brain can go to work to make the picture that you have imagined a reality.

The Law of Average - Click To Read Article
I was working with a fairly large company recently on their business strategy, and how they were going to get their whole team engaged so that everyone was pulling their own weight, and everyone had a passion for the growth of the company. The idea was, if everyone could work together, productivity would increase, business relationships would flourish and the end of year bonus would be much bigger. Their goal was to be above average over all of the competitors in their market. That was the plan...

Parallel Synchronized Randomness - Click To Read Article
The person you happen to meet on the sidewalk who knows a person you should meet. The phone rings, it's someone dialling a wrong number but somehow you get to speaking and she knows all about the answers that you are seeking. You get a flat tire driving to work and someone pulls over to help you and it just happens that this person knows someone that you have been trying to meet and makes the introduction. The book that just magically appears on your desk one morning that no one knows how it got there, but carries within it the secrets that you have been searching for. Life is as big a miracle as you want it to be.

Not On My Watch! - Click To Read Article
The thing that I have discovered about stress and worry is that the more time we spend idly thinking about the negative things that are happening in our lives; the more we are prone to worry about the consequences that will occur. If we could be more proactive and keep constant watch over what we allow to enter in, we will find that we will be less worried and much more productive.

But if, on the other hand, you forget about yourself and what you can get, and focus on the other person and what you can help them get, they will never let you down. One of my favourite quotes of all time is one by the world famous sales trainer Zig Ziglar. He says "You can get almost anything you want in life, if you'll just help enough other people get what they want." Do you know what other people want? Are you willing to help them get it?

Looking For The Real You - Click To Read Article
It is this thought or the fear of the answer that keeps people in the dark about themselves or their potential. They seem to get in a rut in life and they just accept it, never realizing that there just could be a better way, if only they expected more of themselves. They get in a "Good Enough" mentality that only encourages mediocrity. We could change the quality of our lives today....right now, if only we'd follow a few simple guidelines:

Making Leadership Stick - Click To Read Article
Personal and professional growth is not a sure thing process. In order to discover things about yourself or about how the business works, you must be allowed to “experiment”, and the leader who is always telling people what to do misses out on a very important part of the whole growth cycle. It’s been said that success is a poor teacher, and in the area of growth, if you are always winning, how can you know what real success tastes like if you haven’t tasted any sort of failure.

If You're DoingThis, You're Not Changing - Click To Read Article
We were sitting at a table in the Delta Hotel and were discussing Lorrie's participation in the communications program that I was working on, when she started talking about how she was building her own business and what she was doing to do it. As she was talking about marketing, I was totally engrossed in her enthusiasm and in her knowledge, while at the same time I was mentally going through what I wasn't doing in my own business to build it. One thing she said really caught my attention: Unless you're changing the status quo of your business, you're not growing.

Are You In The Game - Click To Read Article
Have you ever noticed that it is the people in the stands who supposedly know everything about the game? They give all kinds of advice, but you don't see them actually in the game. It is as if the game exists only for them. Many will say that yes, the game does exist for the fans, for without the fans, where would the game be? I'd like to throw a wrench into that argument and say that, yes the fans are an important part of the game, but without the players, the game wouldn't exist either.

Be A Student - Click To Read Article
The wonderful thing I am learning about “learning”, and I am hearing it from many different locations all at once, is simply this; When you truly enter into an attitude of learning, rather than one of thinking that you know it all, and you give yourself permission to be open to other people’s ideas and suggestions, the frequency of learning opportunities becomes infinite, and your potential of greater success becomes assured.

5 Ways to Lose Friends and Influence People - Click To Read Article
It's always amazing how some people just naturally connect, while others seem to be experts at driving others away. Here are 5 principles to keep in mind when working on building your relationships.

A Culture of Leadership - Click To Read Article
One thing is certain though, for any organization to be successful in the current business culture of "get more done quicker, better and with less", everyone has to be thinking leadership. Leadership isn't an "It's all about me" game, it's a "how can I grow the people to higher levels of competence" game.
