Do People See The
Much like Susan Boyle, the vast majority of people are toiling, waiting and attempting to pay their dues, hoping that their big break will soon come. But is anyone really looking past your outward cosmetic exterior, in an honest attempt to see the "real" you which lies within?
Procrastination to Motivation
If you keep putting it off to later you will never get it done. Procrastination is one of the most common obstacles to achievement and yet it’s a skill that so many have mastered. But procrastination results from a mistake of the mind. Correct the mistake and fuel yourself with motivation toward your goals.

Smart Women Create the Right Internal Environment
Creating the “right internal” environment is essential if we are to truly live a life on purpose. Your internal environment is your self-talk, the internal conversations you have with yourself. Stop and think for a moment about the conversations you have with yourself: Do you send positive messages or negative messages? Is your internal voice filled with possibility or doom and gloom? It’s really important to take some time to evaluate yourself in this area and change your thinking.

Smart Women Create the Right Environment
This article is a reminder about how important it is to create the “right environment” both internally and externally is we are to live a meaningful life filled with passion and purpose. A cluttered environment creates a cluttered mind. We typically are not as creative as we might be if we have an open, reflective environment. This is also true of our internal environment---our self talk. Is your self-talk positive and full of possibility? Do you have relationships with nutritious people? The “right” Environment is key to living our dreams and reaching our goals.

Discernment
How can we experience our authentic voice? As discussed in Part Two, authentic messages can be recognized as internal positively-phrased directives. In this way they are unlike authoritative "no" messages which direct us not to do something, even if these also come from within.

The Voice of Action
The voice that says "YES, this is the right decision", "No, let's pass on this", or even "Hmm, let's mull this over a bit." In each instance your voice within advises you to take action, even if it is in-action. But do you really listen to it, or do you scoff at the idea that you actually pay attention to your inner voice?
Managing Marginality The Internal Consultants Dilemma
Internal and external consultants use many of the same techniques and tools, do similar work, but face very different challenges. Internal consultants work in a unique position. Their job role is to consult to the organization for which they work. It is not easy to be, at the same time, a part of an organization and function as detached and independent. Each position on the consulting continuum places different pressures on the internal than the external, making them either more or less a part of the organization. Couple with those pressures that the internal has a boss whose role is even more clearly linked to the organizational structure, politics, and rewards structure, and you have a set of forces effectively pulling the internal in different directions. Managing this position becomes paramount to success for the internal.

Communication A.P.P.E.A.L.
To succeed as a business owner, you need to create and refine your "entrepreneurial voice." I believe that voice has three components: your private voice (what you say to yourself); your public voice (what you say to the world); and your personal voice (what you say to clients). These three voices, while distinct, still need to align and resonate with one another to successfully run your business. In this article, I offer a perspective on what makes your communication appealing -- those qualities you can cultivate in each of your three voices to be more confident, genuine, and effective in every area of your business and your life!
"Arrogant Al": The Condescending Internal Customer
Most of us have ‘internal customers' - people in our own company who rely on us to provide them with some level of service or support. For many of us, working in administration, human resources, IT, training, etc., providing internal customer service is our primary role. Unfortunately, just as there are difficult external customers, there are also difficult internal customers. One of the common situations we see are internal customers who simply appear to not respect the roles of their internal service providers. They come across as condescending, dismissive, arrogant and sometimes plain rude. It is a recipe for a poisonous workplace atmosphere. What do you do?
If Your Business had a Voice, Who would it Sound Like?
Every business has a voice that comes through in your marketing. That voice has the power to grab your prospect’s attention and hold it, or make them turn away in boredom or frustration. So if you’ve never given the voice of your business a second thought it’s time to reconsider.

Your Intuition is Speaking. Are You Listening?
The voice that says “YES, this is the right decision”, “No, let’s pass on this”, or even “Hmm, let’s mull this over a bit.” In each instance your voice within advises you to take action, even if it is in-action. But do you really listen to it, or do you scoff at the idea that you actually pay attention to your inner voice?
Today's "rant" - voice mail
How often do you call a client and get their voice mail? 80-90% of the time, yes? So why do we keep delivering voice mails that ramble on letting everyone know how unprepared you were to leave a voice mail?! Here are some really simple things you can do to increase callbacks and decrease “message skipped/deleted”
Your Internal Board of Directors ... Part I: Who's In Charge?
Have you noticed? When it comes to running your business, you have a lot of different voices in your head. You have the voice that tells you to work on your business plan, and the voice that tells you that you need to answer that email. You have the voice that encourages you to write an article to promote your business, and the voice that tells you it would never get published. You have the voice that wants you to hire an assistant, and the voice that says it’s easier to do everything yourself. With all the chatter going on in our heads, it is actually amazing that anything gets done!
