Magic Happens When you put on a Different Pair of Glasses
How we experience life depends on our point of view, our attitude. And our attitude and view is colored by our lenses of past experience, judgment and so on. How differently might we experience our life if we changed our "glasses" more often?
Leadership Lessons Heard
Leadership lessons are abundant in both literature and life! The prevailing wisdom is to maximize the lessons that come from life experiences by turning them into a never-ending learning process. However, too often it is the lessons heard that serve as the practical learning model, thereby minimizing what gets practiced in successful organizations.

What’s the Difference Between Coaching And Mentoring?
The people doing the guiding are generally called coaches and mentors. The two roles are similar in some ways but in fact are very different. Before attempting this role laden with responsibility it is important to understand the difference between coaching and mentoring and to find out what is best for your relationship with your potential followers.
Simply Speaking Why Many Sales Training Programs Do Not Produce Results
With the decline in the U.S. economy, sales training is considered to be one of the few areas within training and development that will experience increased spending. Companies now more than ever before need to increase revenues and the best way to do that is through a well-trained sales team. The bad news, beyond the economy, is that many programs do not work because they do not deliver a positive return on investment. In other words, they fail to produce the results that being:

LIVING A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
As a personal coach I am surprised and still taken aback by how often I encounter people who regardless of their age, station in life; their position, the power they wield, influence and money they possess, are not in touch with the very essence of who they are and by extension the purpose or meaning of their lives, or to put it more succinctly the very essential reason for their existence.
The Power of Expectation
I want to share a truth that was first revealed to me by my mother when I was a child, then later reinforced through my own life experiences: What you expect has phenomenal power over the quality and course of your life.

The Art of HAVING and ATTRACTING The Money You Want In Your Business
When I say, “Think Abundance,” the first thing that comes to most minds is the lack of money flowing around and the fear that nothing is coming in. When I say, “Think Abundance,” around my wealthy clients (meaning they already feel they have plenty of money), I find they think about life experiences and love – not money.

Where Are You Looking For Success?
Success is not found somewhere out there-success resides inside, for each of us. You already have what it takes to succeed in life. You were born with all you need. Your birth certificate doesn't come with any guarantees of success, but when you were born you came fully equipped with talents, abilities, desires, and choices. As you grow and progress through every stage of life, you discover that there are things you really want-things you now have your heart set on. As you identify those things and make wise choices, your success is assured.

Stuff - Yours and Theirs
Creating harmonious and fulfilling relationships is a challenge at times for all of us - in spite of our best intentions. It’s the human path. Stepping stones toward greater wisdom are provided in those tough, relationship moments by asking: “What is the learning for me in this?”
ITS EXHAUSTING RUNNING FROM THE PAST
It is said that we are pretty much formed very early in our lives by our “first family” experiences. The way we are socialized; that is simply, how we are taught to see and behave in the world by our parents in relationship to them, our siblings and the community in general, plays the most significant role in our formation leading into adulthood. Yes, we have to acknowledge genetics to some extent playing a role here, so I will do that. But this is not an argument about one or the other. I want to write here about dealing with our pasts’.

How Old Would You Be If You Didn't Know How Old You Were?
This article is not so much written for the younger crowd let’s say up to about 30 years of age who generally do not often think about “father time.” As life events ‘typically’ unfold they have most of their lives still out in front of them, very little of their lives belongs in the past, therefore they really have not accumulated anywhere close to a “fine cargo of life experiences” nor are they likely to feel any particular sense of urgency around age because they see having all the time in the world. So, that leaves the rest of us to try and answer the question; how old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were? I mean if you didn’t have any idea of your actual age in years, what would guide you to an answer?
Leadership Transformation
It is imperative that leaders go through a personal transformation process in order to bring about effective change within an organization. People, productivity, and profitability are the tools that make an organization successful. Through personal transformation, you will understand that you can be wounded and still learn from your mistakes. You will learn how to forgive yourself and others. You will learn to deal with reality while being comfortable with changes. Most importantly, you will create and motivate movement, as well as positive changes not only in yourself, but also in the people around you, and in your environment.

Important "Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
One strategic action that I encourage all my clients to take is to look at any undesired or unplanned outcome of their efforts with a keen eye and a mindset toward identifying the “lessons learned” from the experience. The strongest and most effective leaders have the ability to commit to identifying and acting upon those “lessons learned.” And I believe leaders take a totally different view of failures that are experienced in their businesses and in their personal lives. The following is a quote from Denis Watley that I believe provides a strong confirmation of my belief about failure. “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”

How leadership repeatedly under-mines their most valuable procurement asset
At a recent conference in which my Dangerous Supply Chain Myths seminar was introduced to a new audience, I was related a story that was both compelling and disconcerting. Compelling in that it clearly demonstrated a lack of stakeholder collaboration, disconcerting in that it is an occurrence that is played over and over again within public and private sector organizations throughout North America.
Beliefs, Feelings, Emotions: Leaders They Must Be Understood By Leaders
One of the characteristics needed in the new complex work environment is having the wisdom and broad perspective to see the big picture. By seeing the interrelationships of beliefs,feelings and emotions, rather than linear cause-effect chains and by seeing the overall processes required to accomplish the end rather than snap shots in a vacuum, most people will have a stronger and more valid belief in what he or she is doing. They will feel more connected and be better prepared to emotionally support the organizational effort.
HOW THE LAW OF ATTRACTION CAN HELP YOU SUCCEED
Can you create the life and business that you want? Can you live the life of your dreams and realise all of your business goals? I believe you can – and one of the key elements to creating a great life is to use the Law of Attraction. This article looks at the theory of The Law of Attraction and also how to put into practice to begin both changing your life and your business.
Why every business needs to consider generational differences
It turns out that different generations of employees respond to very different management approaches and incentives. Likewise, different generations of consumers respond differently to different marketing messages. Four generations are common in the workforce and consumer market today, and it is important to understand each. This article is indebted to the work of University of Illinois’s Extension Program and their research on engaging generations.
How to Target the Boomers
There are 76 million people alive today which were born between 1946-1964, widely considered the baby boom era. This article briefly discusses how to target this generation with your marketing messages.

Learn Lifes Lessons
Have you learned from the lessons that everyday life has tossed out? Do you look at what life has to offer as challenges, but approach them as opportunities? If so, I would wager that you do learn from your experiences. If on the other hand you are more apt to place blame on yourself or others, use excuses to explain a circumstance, or prefer to be a spectator in life, then you are probably missing out on some awesome opportunities!
Using Borrowed Spectacles
You are your own expert. No one knows you like you do.To truly see your problems or concerns and to examine your life you must look through your own eyes, your own spectacles, using your own experiences, your honesty and your values. Not someone else’s. In other words do not use borrowed spectacles. If you have ever tried this you will be aware of the distortion, almost a pain, that is experienced when looking through the lenses. Your vision is distorted and does not allow you to see the true picture or vision of what life has presented to you.

Traits for Winners and Whiners
Create Big Results In your Business and Personal Life by Knowing and Applying Producer Traits While Eliminating Procrastinator Traits. Life is full of experiences. The best ones are where you learn from them. Recently I had the benefit of a lesson reminding me the power of understanding what you are doing to enhance or sabotage your life. Do you know someone who puts off things until they are due? Whines about having to do things that are outside their comfort zone? Is a nay sayer or negative about anything you want to do no matter what it is? Does this sound like someone you know?

Forgiveness Technique
Adults with ADHD typically experience more criticism and “unpleasant” situations in their life than their non-ADHD peers. These experiences begin as a child, through teenage years and into adulthood. Not only are these experiences disagreeable at the time, but also the memories of these situations can still affect you years after it occurred. A memory can pop up into your mind while you are driving along, or in the supermarket line. What “Mrs. Smith” said about your Maths when you were eight years old, or the nasty comment Susy (your last, but only girlfriend) said about you.
10 Principles I've Learned in Life
My life has changed. In the past few years I’ve transitioned to someone who invests in others and I have people who actually seek my advice. I know that sounds egotistical (which would not be unusual for me), but I don’t mean it that way at all. It’s just that at almost 45 years of age, with a wealth of practical experience; including many negative experiences, I am at a mid-life stage where I have learned some things and, because I believe so strongly in sharing experiences, people sometimes seek out mine. Looking back over my life I now think often, “I wish I had known then what I know now”.

8 Ways To Know It's Time To Quit
Please understand. I’m not a quitter. I believe, however, that the times described above are not always to be viewed as negative experiences. Sometimes God uses the difficult experiences of life to draw us to Him and to open our eyes to the next opportunity He has for us. I would have never made some of the moves I’ve made in life that I know now were of God had it not been for my miserable situation at the time.

Persistence versus Resistance and You
In this article I am not going to reveal to you some magic formula for perseverance and overcoming obstacles in your life, ultimately that begins and ends within you. I simply will describe my personal views regarding steadfastness and facing adversity, and maybe in some way you can benefit and apply them in your life experiences starting today.
Difference between being honest and opinionated
There is a difference with being an honest person and labeled as opinionated. There are many times that your opinions are important, useful, and helpful and I’m sure appreciated! Our opinions come from our own life experiences. Each person has their own individual perceptions, beliefs, cultural and religious experience and overall life experiences. And, we need to be open and respectful to another perspective. A few things for you to ask yourself are: 1. Why do you feel it’s necessary to share your opinions so frequently? 2. Do you respect others? 3. What is your intention when sharing? You may not be intentionally trying to upset anyone. Others may feel you are being opinionated when you add your opinions regularly on top of others. For example, if someone in your book club is sharing their thoughts about the book and you
The Benefits of Doing Something Uncomfortable
Good things in life come to those who take risks. If you avoid any new experiences then you are missing out on the best that life has to offer. The longer that you wait, procrastinate, or cower in fear, the more “comfortable” you are getting with the status quo…and that’s not a very fun place to be.
