The Little Submarine That Could: DeLuca Takes Subway to the Top
In less than a week, DeLuca had gone from a struggling student earning minimum wage, to a submarine sandwich store owner, all thanks to his friend Pete Buck. “I talked to Pete on Sunday,” recalls DeLuca. “I borrowed my dad’s car on Monday and drove around a little bit and found a vacant store.” The next Saturday, DeLuca returned to the store with Buck and rented it. He never signed a lease, but it was all his.

In the feature film Sliding Doors, I found myself fascinated by a conversation between two friends. Gerry had just been discovered by his girl friend as he was having an affair in their bedroom.

Gerry replies, "Am I going to like it?" With a chuckle, his friend responds with, "No. It's based on reality."

To know yourself, know your shadow
It is a common experience. You speak to a friend about some strong negative feelings you have about someone else. Your friend, being a true friend, says, "but aren't you a bit like that too?" You of course don't like to hear this, but it gets you thinking. Maybe you can be a bit like it too. That's a useful admission since it then helps you to manage that characteristic in yourself. This is the sort of self-awareness that is crucial to our growth, to get that the people in our lives are in some way a mirror of ourselves. The concept of the shadow, from Carl Jung, is one of the great insights from 20th century psychology that is invaluable to those of us who seek to build effective relationships with others.

How Much Is Your Sanity Worth?
I’m a pretty good handywoman and I know my way around my power tools. I’ve got all the tools needed to complete some projects around my house but I’m not going to use them. Instead, I’m going to hire my friend, Pete, the handyman to tackle these little jobs for me. Here’s why…
Maximize Your F-A-C-E(sm) Time to Create a Winning Workplace During Challenging Times
As a physician who has treated thousands of patients with acute and chronic pain, I have found that those who successfully live with chronic pain maintain a positive attitude, and focus on setting realistic goals. The importance of maintaining focus in the workplace has been made clear time and time again in my many years of employment. Years ago, I met a man who we'll call "Pete". He apparently lost focus on his job, resulting in a great financial loss at his place of employment. This was a major setback and created discord and distress in his company as other employees feared that Pete had put their jobs in jeopardy. From that experience, I created the FACE success system as a tool to enhance productivity and customer service in the workplace. The four keys of the FACE system: (1)Focus (2)Attitude (3)Commitment and (4)Enthusiasm.
Our Fate is in Our Own Hands
A few years ago a friend had Ned, a small independent contractor, do extensive renovations to his home. Being a very fussy craftsman and cabinet maker, Ned did an especially superb job on the extensive woodwork involved in the renovation. About a year after completing the renovations, Ned bumped into my friend at the local hardware store. "The recession finally caught up to me," Ned told my friend. "I've had to lay off my crew and try to wait out this slow period."
