The Art of Changing Your Mind Before You Change Your Life
In a recent issue of my newsletter, Lifestyle and Workstyle REFLECTIONS, I touched upon the concept of a strategic lifestyle plan. Much like the strategy an entrepreneur might use to develop a sound business model, the strategic lifestyle plan serves as a tool to manage one's life more effectively. The key, of course, being that the lifestyle one carves out for oneself is in alignment with one's values, goals and priorities.

Time is Money: Strategic Lifestyle Planning and Return on Investment
I have always advocated that people should create Strategic Lifestyle Plans for themselves. What is a strategic lifestyle plan? Very much like a business’s strategic plan, a strategic lifestyle plan is a way to develop a thoughtful design for your life that delineates what you most want out of life.

Stop Chasing Your Dreams and Start Living Them
Have you been a victim of day dreaming? Everyone has. We all have a dream of a life we consider to be perfect. Having the perfect home, the perfect lifestyle, being able to travel the world, these are all lifestyle dreams we all have. To many, they seem as just that, a pipedream. But to a select few, those that have chosen to make a commitment to themselves, have dedicated their lives to living their dream lifestyle, and will not accept anything less than the best are the ones that have been able to achieve their dreams.
Lifestyle Solutions For Everyone
Lifestyle solutions don't just happen. They must be well defined and comprehensive. Accepting that our current lifestyle is in need of improvement, coupled with the belief that we can discover the lifestyle we truly desire, allows anyone the opportunity for success.
Change Management Can Lead to Rigidity and Resistance to Change
Beware of formal organization improvement or "change management" (an oxymoron) plans. Like strategic plans, organization improvement or change management plans can reduce an organization's effectiveness. They can lead to rigidity, bureaucracy, and resistance to change. This sounds like an argument against planning. It's not. We have found that constant and ongoing personal, team, and organization improvement planning is vital. But too many "change management" and improvement plans are built on the same faulty premise as strategic planning - that there is a right path, which can be determined in advance and then implemented. We often hear managers declare that they have the right strategic or improvement plan, but the reason things aren't going according to plan is because of "execution problems." This is a deadly assumption.
Process Management Pathways and Pitfalls (Part Two)
Make sure all your process improvement activities are clearly and tightly linked to your strategic imperatives. Each effort should also have highly focused and specific improvement goals (that are an aggressive, major stretch) and measurements. Establish feedback and follow-up steps for each process management and improvement team.

Why Most Change Programs and Improvement Initiatives Fail
Many team and organization change and improvement efforts are lost or badly bewildered. Decades of studies have consistently shown that 50-70 percent are failing. There are as many reasons that improvement endeavors lose their way, as there are people, teams, and organizations trying to improve.
Freedom From 9-5, Living A Lifestyle Of My Dreams
Your day is moving quickly, you struggle to get your kids off to school and yourself off to work. You are feeling hurried, there is just not enough hours in your day to get everything done. Freedom from the 9-5, and living a lifestyle of your dreams, full of adventure that was the dream. It hits you like a ton of bricks, “how did I get here?” This is not the lifestyle you had thought and dreamed about. You say to yourself, “My dream lifestyle has family time, fun time, travel time, purpose, meaning, how did I end up here?” You feel discouraged and a little angry your dreams are fading each day, into a distant memory.
