Part 1 - After the ball is over

The ball is very definitely over. A good time was had by all but what a mess to cleanup! This cleanup has been compounded by the errant behaviour of some of the leaders and organizers of the ball: unbounded greed, ethical standards have been eroded, personal values have been overturned, virtues have been diminished to the point of ridicule, morality has been questioned, integrity has been ignored, trust forgotten and the meaning of life seems to have been lost.

7 Tips To Boost Your Business in a Down Economy

Listening to the news and many CEOs, you would think the country is in a depression. At a minimum, these reports put listeners into a depression. While I’m willing to let a few individual businesses slide because of what they do (e.g. residential real estate in Miami), if your company is not growing the way you want it to, and/or margins are shrinking, the problem is inside your company. If you believe otherwise, you are deceiving yourself. In many cases, even in sectors where the group as a whole is doing poorly, you should still be able to do better than you’re doing. Just like Warren Buffet does in the stock market, you need to jump on opportunities when the market is down and be aggressive, not defensive.

The Surprising Harm Of Being Around Negative People

The words someone else speaks or the actions they take in your presence can change the actual structure of your brain! How you choose to spend your time and who you choose to allow into your sphere of influence matters greatly.

Stop Putting Up With Things
If you think that tolerating things makes you a stronger person, you couldn't be more wrong. "Putting up" with things that annoy us will only drain our energy and depress us. Instead, the Attraction Program suggests that we Tolerate Nothing. By doing this you will be calmer and more self-assured. You will also be proud that you have eliminated the tolerations that are within your control.

Why Tough Times Are The Perfect Time To Move Forward And Thrive!

5 Tips to Surviving the Holidays or Anytime Alone

Many things cause lonely feelings during the holidays making it such an extremely difficult time for many to get through. You may be too far away to see your relatives; you may be in a nursing home with no one to care about you; you may be dead broke during this “happy” time; many grieve the loss of a loved one, accentuated by their disappearance during a time when others are preparing for big family gatherings, although those events can even make you feel lonely. When so many of our people are deployed and families are separated, unless the one left behind has family to shelter them from the throes of loneliness, it can be depressing. Just as there are many ways for someone to feel alone during the holiday season, there are many activities that need you and will help you feel better as you brighten the day for someone less fortunate

Help! My sales team isn’t coping with the fallout from the GFC

Many sales people, for the first time, are experiencing tough times when it comes to selling and many are not sure how to handle themselves in these difficult situations.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF STRESS

Many years ago and much earlier in my career I was Manager of the Employee Assistance Program for the Province of Manitoba. Back in those early days I was confronted with a dilemma in assessing the nature of some presenting problems, which in the end was to change my approach and interest in the way I understood stress and the way in which I was to help support persons who were experiencing the symptoms of stress for the next 35 years.

But what if it relates to not living your life congruently with what it is you value, and/or not living your life according to your personality type and finally, perhaps not being able to meet your perceived needs?
