Changing Your Life - Transition is Either Voluntary Or Involuntary
You may be changing careers, going back to school, or going back to an old familiar career that you've been away from for a while. Your transition may be voluntary or involuntary and either provides similar feelings of stress and uncertainty.

How Can You Turn Nothing Into Something?
If you’re a manager, don’t just manage; lead people to a place they never knew possible in their world and then some. Here's how to begin...
ENJOY THE RIDE
The best lived lives are those which allow both the need for routing and predictability, and the desire for wildness and spontaneity, to play themselves out.
The Squirrel Effect
Like that squirrel, people often hide what they consider important to their personal survival in the corporate world. It’s called information. Hoarding bits and pieces, they act as if information alone is a work-life sustaining nutrient. The more information nuggets they have, the safer or more powerful they think they’ll be. And while those nuggets might help someone survive in a corporate culture where information is a bartered commodity, long term it won’t help them thrive. Here’s why.
Knowledge is Power or is it
Any child of 2 or 3 years of age can tell you that 2 + 2 = 4. They have heard it repeated, over & over, until they can repeat it themselves. But, when confronted with 4 apples, they are at a loss to apply that information. The same holds true for older students (and even adults) who can readily tell you that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity can be expressed by the formula, E = MxCsquared. - Until they know what the E, M & C stand for and can use the formula in a practical application, it is only information, not knowledge.

Looking for Sky In All The Wrong Places
Ever sit with a single puzzle piece of clouds and wonder how you will ever put the entire sky together? Life as an entrepreneur is often just like that— lots of the little pieces; like creating products, taking care of clients, wrestling computers, etc.— and a whole lot of sky; the big open space that is creating a successful and enjoyable business. I had so many pieces of ‘puzzle sky’, I was drowning in an ocean of sky blue. After over a decade of struggling with my own company to fit all the ‘pieces’ together, I have finally put together the big business puzzle— and it’s not what I thought it would look like.
Sales Big Picture - Top Salespeople Sell Attractively on Purpose
One of the most frequent complaints of salespeople is the ebb and flow of sales. Getting sales is the goal of a salesperson. Now step back. What is one of the first pieces in selling? Maybe prospecting? Take another step back. Maybe marketing? There are at least three strategic pieces with their tactics to increase both your understanding and successful actions in the buying and selling process.
I’m OK, You’re Not So Hot (personality types)
Personality typing is NOT about putting people in boxes. Every single human being is unique, there will never be another of any of us ever again. Not even our children are exact copies of us. They are bits of us for sure; bits of the other gender parent; a complex mix of where they were born (place); where in the family they were born; how they were brought up; what values they were taught; what religious and social teachings they were introduced to in their early years; where they were educated; what friends they chose in school, and a million other subtle influencers in-between. And each one of us, regardless of all of the above, also have that unique ingredient that is simply, us.

The BIG Pieces Go in First
As you look at your calendar and set your goals for 2009, consider these twin principles of Balance and Big Pieces. Use this simple tool to increase your success (and your joy!) in the year ahead. Put the BIG pieces in first, and give them the necessary time, energy and focus to create the balanced, satisfying life you deserve.
Are You Too Busy To Get Organized?
If you spend a lot of your day rifling through stacks of papers and files looking for things you need, you may want to take some time to tidy up. You probably think you’re too busy to get organized, but how much time do you waste searching for stuff? Getting organized doesn’t need to be a huge project taking up more time than you can afford. You can do it in little bits and pieces throughout the day.

Why You Might Not be Ready for Publicity
Often clients come to me because they truly want to get the recognition they deserve in the form of publicity both online and in the media. They’re looking for a starting point to get the word out so they have a general understanding of press releases and strategies. This is an important step in building your brand awareness and increasing credibility. At the same time there are often key foundational pieces missing. Pieces that need to be in place before you really start creating publicity buzz. And, I’m always upfront about that.

The Three-Part Harmony in Your Logo
Just as a harmonized song is made up of a set of three notes, every small business's logo should be made up of three pieces of art: the icon, the font, and the color palette. These three pieces all work together, singing the same basic song, to tell your business's story. In your logo, each of them gives you an opportunity to build in meaning and symbolism.
