"How Do I Change Things?"
People often ask the question, “How do I change things?

Prayer and purposeful action
I awoke early this morning to the sound of gentle rain falling and found myself immediately praying for more. This prayer came automatically during one of the most tragic weeks in Victoria’s history with the tragedy of the bush fires in many parts of our state. As a Victorian I have found myself upping my prayer quotient for rain for some time now, not just for the bush fires but for the many people whose lives are affected by the drought here and elsewhere. In addition to my prayers, like many families, my family and I have been doing our best to save water and change the size of our carbon foot print. Yet at times like this one can’t help but feel somewhat helpless and useless. All I felt I could do under the circumstances was to pray and give money.

Taking the Risk of Loving
If you feel some emptiness in your life, it is likely because you are allowing fear of loss to stop you from loving fully.
If You Walk For Exercise Then You're Probably Wasting Your Time
Time is important for any entrepreneur wanting a healthy work life balance. So you do not want to waste your time on time-consuming exercise programs that produce very little in terms of results. Many activities promoted by companies as part of their corporate health and wellness programs like encouraging employees to walk for exercise produce little health benefits to their employees. Quite simply, if you are not huffing and puffing, then it's not exercise...
That Inner Smile makes the Entrepreneur a Success
“The most attractive thing anyone can wear is a smile, something money can’t buy and shops don’t sell! Looking good comes as much from within, Confidence, happiness and joy, that inner beauty”. Positive attitude comes with a smile! Negative thoughts are infectious. Once you wear a long face, it affects all around you, It is very easy to slip into negative thinking. Optimists have failures too, but they tend to blame the failure on factors that are external to themselves, temporary and specific to this instance. For the negative person however, they claim it is their own fault, and it always happens to them. They take Murphy’s Law to heart, “if it can go wrong, it will”…They look on the glass as always half empty. There are also people who have learnt the behavior of negativity.
Person First Language
Frank Barron said, "Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you." (thinkexist.com) This can begin as early as how an individual is addressed. This article provides a reminder on adressing other individuals as people rather than labels. The article is designed for a facilitator to include in a staff meeting.
Hard Times
Everyone faces hard times in life. Bad stuff happens to everyone so eventually your number is going to come up. Although we do whatever we can to prevent trouble, some of it is simply the unfolding of our lives. The challenge for all of us is to accept life’s blows as part of our journey, learn from them, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more capable. The main thing is to avoid unnecessary drama about the hard times that drags you down a path of misery.

Coping With Job Loss
We’ll all be retiring eventually, but what if you lose your job before then? What if your company is down-sizing because of the economy and your specific job causes you to be laid off? Here are some helpful tips to guide you through the frustration and helplessness you may be feeling.

Are you Proactive or Procreactive™?
Experience tells me that the primary force separating successful from unsuccessful people is action. Successful people act, while unsuccessful people don’t. Achievers do what failures beg off doing. Chinese proverbs put it this way: “Talk will not cook rice,” or “Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth will wait a very, very long time.”
The Contingent Workforce -Redefining Opportunity
Grim employment statistics may point the way for many would-be entrepreneurs to take control of their work life. Alternative work options can be a win for employers and workers willing to take responsibility for their income potential.
Eliminate Mind Chatter Easily and Attract Greater Wealth
You might be thinking-this coach is from California. This is a woo woo topic. Well it's not. Read on if you are wondering how creating space in your mind can bring prosperity into your life. Or perhaps you understand this at a Spiritual level, but find it difficult to meditate regularly. If you could take small increments, like two minutes several times a day, and make a difference in your wealth and well-being-would that be worth it to you?
Courtroom Earth vs. Classroom Earth
When I am coaching my professional clients, in some fashion, I am likely to be asking them, “What risks are you avoiding taking that might very well make you happier?” Together, we examine whatever fears, self-judgments, or limiting beliefs are holding them back, keeping them in Courtroom Earth instead of letting them enjoy hanging out in Classroom Earth.
Down with Stress/Up with Thriving
First of all, stress is a catchall phrase and not so useful when we’re looking to thrive and create a more extraordinary life. Instead, I recommend asking yourself whether you are Enduring or Persevering. Both may feel stressful. But Enduring leads to the blahs and worse while Persevering leads to thriving. Here are just some of the symptoms of Endurance: anxiety, addiction, boredom, cynicism, depression, hopelessness, helplessness, illness, “Is that all there is?” lack of energy, procrastination, resentment, ruts, and “Why me, Lord?” If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, then I encourage you to consider that you are in some Endurance.
How to Build a Mastermind Group
A Mastermind group is a supportive group of like-minded people who collectively brainstorm ideas, strategies, techniques and concepts to help people move forward in their business/life and become 'unstuck'. A Mastermind group is not a social gathering of friends, neither is it a session to air your complaints about life and feel sorry for yourself. To make a Mastermind group work, it has to be made up of people who are positive, self motivated, proactive and have a desire to help others reach their goals......

Burned by Coffee or Burned by Heartbreak - They Feel the Same
Did you know that heartbreak hurts as much as a coffee burn? Learn to embrace and release this pain rather than getting stuck in suffering.
Are You Fulfilled
Dear Jane, How can I figure out whether I am doing what makes me happy? What are some of the symptoms of unhappiness, or must I wait for a life-threatening situation? I wrote my popular self-help book, Enough Is Enough!, to help others avoid having to go through a life-threatening situation in order to wake up to your spirit’s calling. If you are having to ask yourself if you are happy, then you probably aren’t. Perhaps you haven’t yet had the satisfaction that goes with fulfilling your spirit’s purpose, so you don’t know what benchmark to compare your feelings with. The symptoms of endurance or a less-than-thriving life are discussed in depth in my book. I will give you a short list here that you should find helpful:

An Angry Workforce and little change
There is a growing tendency to give in to the surrounding external issues by taking it out in the workplace. Angry employees rarely make for productive experiences and far too often, it is used as an excuse to not focus on what can be done. The ritual of blame can be cast in a feeling of helplessness and loss productivity. Moving forward means letting go of the anger and drawing on individual creativity.

Leadership Resilience - Optimism and Resilience
Research clearly demonstrates that people who are naturally resilient have an optimistic explanatory style-that is, they explain adversity in optimistic terms to avoid falling into helplessness.

6 Tips to Avoid Being Micromanaged
Being micromanaged is something most of us have complained about at some point. We get a task to do, then the boss keeps badgering us with details of how we should do it. The result is a feeling of exasperation or even helplessness. Clearly, having a micromanager for a boss reduces our empowerment and energy to do the task well. Usually we blame the boss. This article turns the logic around and suggests that we can do things to prevent being micromanaged.
