Words Can Make A Difference
As a youngster I heard a little rhyme which said, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." That's untrue. Words can give us hope and encouragement, or they can break our spirits and dash our hopes.

The 19Es of Excellence
Today's joyous commemoration of the birth of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and tomorrow's unique show of peaceful American renewal and celebration of limitless American possibility got me thinking about Excellence—no surprise. Out of which came these "19 Es of Excellence."

How to be a high performance leader
The subject of leadership is the quintessential conversation of our generation, particularly at this time of great social change, commercial and political unrest. I believe leadership, [being a leader] to be a character trait, not simply a title you bestow upon a person or entity, without significant reason and evidence over an extended period of time. True 'leadership' is the ability to inspire action through ones own actions. This feat is not as easy to achieve as the definition suggests. Easy in theory - but ever challenging in practice.

Who Inspires You? Pay It Forward!
Who has inspired you in a way that your life will never be the same again? Inspiration is wasted inside of us, we need to let it out, inspire others, pay it forward.
World Class
There is an emerging new World Class level of business where social contribution is the most direct path to profit.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Annapolis I grew up in in the late 1940s and 1950s was very "Old South" in its sentiments, a long way from the "D.C. bedroom community" it is today.

Working From Inside Out
Inspired by Louise Hay, renowned author and lecturer on the impact of thoughts on the body “when we really love ourselves, everything in our life works” I began to examine Charisma from an‘inside – out’ perspective. By working holistically in the knowledge that the mind and body are totally interconnected I made some fascinating discoveries.
The Prince Charming Effect™
External measurements of Charisma can sometimes be interpreted as charm - although this alone does not create a Charismatic presence, which requires a strong sense of the person’s character, the essence of the inner person. All the charm in the world cannot compete with an individual who speaks from their heart in a way that is genuine and reflects their deepest beliefs.

Giants of the Genre
As part of my research into discovering the secrets of Charisma, I wanted to find four of the world’s best role models - famous people at the top of their game. Although there are thousands of famous people who exude varying degrees of star quality I wanted to find giants of the Charisma genre.
PRICE OF LEADERSHIP
We all know that the world is starving for individuals who are prepared to step up and lead us. Men and women who are capable of rising above the mediocrity and narrow mindedness that seems so pervasive in the world, men and women who possess the strength of character, the vision, charisma, passion and energy to take us all to a better place. Much has been written and will be written still about leadership; what it is, where to find it, who can lead, even how to grow it. But you do not often read about or even witness the incredible cost that leaders often have to pay for their willingness to lead.

Effective Leadership
This article covers basic leadership principles that can be applied on a daily basis to help us become better leaders and not so much managers.

Smart Women Have Dreams Too!
What fuels you? What’s your dream moving forward into 2008? When you land on where your energy and passions are, you feel this incredible sense of being alive with possibilities. Everything seems possible.

Are you an Accountable Leader
We all have difficult events and experiences that shape us as people and leaders. They can give our lives constructive meaning and purpose or we can hide from their consequences and push them away. They can be big things and not-so-big things.
Do It Because It Is The Right Thing
Have you ever met someone that you consider to be, or to have been, a really good person? I would imagine that after a few moments of quiet reflection you could probably name at least a few. What character traits do you think describe a good man or a good woman in our society today? Perhaps words such as kind, thoughtful, generous, giving and unselfish top your list. If so, I would agree – these are traits we would all expect a good person to possess, but there’s got to be more to it - and there is.

Are Your Assumptions Limiting Your Possibilities?
You (and I) make assumptions many times each day. Even though some of them may be backed by factual science, most of the time, those assumptions are just plain wrong. Don\'t let your assumptions limit your possibilities.

Martin Luther King Day is For Work
I’m writing this as we approach Martin Luther King Day on which many businesses and institutions are closed but my office will be open for business on his day. Like many national holidays, ML King Day is anticipated by many as a day to sleep in a bit, putter around the house, perhaps attending a parade or just hanging out. Obviously, I feel differently about it. To me, Dr. King and his legacy are about opportunity and dreams. My dream was to own a business.
4 Signs of a Successful Leader
In the USA, Republican Party campaigning for the next Presidential Election is well under way; in Australia we have constant reminders that some people want Federal Elections to be held now and, in Queensland we have a State Election imminent. What is common to all these is that whoever gets the top job in any of them will then be referred to as a “leader”. What is also common to all of them is that whoever holds the top job now is also referred to as “a leader” but one who, according to pretenders to the throne, is seriously flawed. It begs the question “How can we recognize successful leaders?”
Leadership and Vision: What's Your Cathedral?
Leadership without vision isn’t true leadership at all. It is management. While management is both valuable and necessary, it is simply not the stuff that takes people and organizations to new heights of achievement. What's your leadership vision?
Do you sell products or dreams
Far to often we focus on the features of a product when we try to sell it.

Three Key Elements to Improving Leadership
Great leadership is the key to success. Great communication is the key to great leadership. Think of any great leader in modern time: Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr, and John F.

It was their ability to articulate their vision that made them successful in achieving their goals.
LEADERS DISPLAY COURAGE BY CHOICE NOT BY CHANCE.

Appreciate Your Adversaries, IV
