Making Stuff Up...
| |
| What do you do when you don't have all the information or communication with someone? Something feels "off", AND you haven't spoken directly about it. Maybe THEY didn't return a call or respond to an email, plans to get together never materialized, or were cancelled unexpectedly. Or suddenly all communication has disappeared. Maybe THEY haven't reminded you lately that they "love you", or responded in the manner you had hoped or expected. What do you do? |

Lesson #4: Challenge Conventions and Break the Mould
| |
| In 1989, along with the outspoken Japanese politician Ishihara Shintaro, Morita co-authored a book about Japan’s economic rise called, “The Japan That Can Say No.” In it, Morita criticized American business for what he saw as the “hollowing out” of the country’s economy. Specifically, he thought their focus on mergers and acquisitions, and relocating operations overseas, was taking away from the creation of real manufacturing power. |

Chris Gardner Story
| |
| When you first hear the Chris Gardner story, you might think you were hearing the storyline of a Hollywood movie. In fact, the Chris Gardner story was so real that it was turned into a movie, the recently released “The Pursuit of Happyness” starring Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden Smith. But, before becoming the subject of a major motion picture, the Chris Gardner story was one of uncertainty and insecurity. |

How to Be with Insecurity?
| |
| As an inner confidence coach, I often hear clients voice their frustration about feelings of insecurity. The inner critic is angry that they’re even feeling insecure - that they can’t get rid of that old feeling following them in places where they don’t want it to go.
I understand. I, too, know about insecurity. And what I’ve learned through my years of working with this issue - within myself and with many, many people in the education, counseling and now coaching fields - is that it is natural and human to feel insecure. Everyone does - at times and usually in certain areas. |

Are you arrogant or is it healthy self love?
| |
| There is a difference between thinking positive, loving thoughts about yourself and being arrogant. According to Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of arrogance is, “a feeling or an impression of superiority manifested in an over bearing manner or presumptuous claims.”
Arrogance comes from a place of thinking you’re better than others which is a place of judgment. And, this stems from fear, insecurity or ignorance. This it’s not genuine self-love.

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... |

Stresses in the Workplace and How to Combat Same
| |
| Stress is the body’s reaction to outside influences, demands or strains. In a sense, the body is revved up to respond to a threat or a challenge.
Everybody experiences stress occasionally and this is unlikely to have any lasting impact unless the experience is particularly traumatic. Such acute stress can occur as a result of actual or threatened violence. Staff employed in banks, post offices, public transport, the health service and other occupations are at risk of experiencing acute stress as a result of robberies, assaults and violence.
Every precaution needs to be taken to protect workers in vulnerable situations against such risks. Where incidents do occur, procedures should exist, including independent counseling where necessary, to minimise the long–term impact. |

What should I do with my tax refund?
| |
| Do you remember the good old days when spending our tax refund frivolously wasn't such a big deal? Our jobs were stable, house values seemed to be on a never-ending climb and the stock market was booming. Things were looking pretty good. Well, we are all feeling a little less wealthy these days; our portfolios have been beaten up, the wealth in our homes have taken a blow and on top of all that, we are worried about our jobs and the stability of our income. There is a lot of insecurity or fear out there and so spending our tax refund on a great vacation or a new flat screen TV may not be the most financially savvy thing to do.
So what should we do with this year's tax refund- spend it or save it, invest it or splurge?

Becoming Fully Engaged - Facing the Truth

Many small businesses experience change. Change leadership is the art of helping your team through the change management cycle. Each person shows different emotions and behaviour during change.

Personal Alignment
| |
| At some point, most of us have experienced that vague feeling that something isn't quite right .... even if we cannot quite put our finger on what it is.
Maybe we feel we are running on a fraction of our full potential. Or that we lack the full measure of courage / confidence that we would like to have. Or perhaps we believe we have everything in place, but our intuition does not quite go along with this analysis.
This may be indicative that some "alignment" is missing. Here is a brief overview of some of the key elements of personal alignment, even if the full relationship between them is too complex to represent here.
