HAI Principles
HAI - Human Awareness Institute - If you are intrigued with the idea of opening your heart more fully, moving past fears around intimacy, healing core relationships, getting beyond issues of body image or packaging, becoming more comfortable with both men and women, and/or would like to learn how to "love" people without necessarily "liking" their behavior, I highly recommend their program.
Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors
Many senior executive women emphasize that while most of us consider doing a good job results in being promoted, in fact political savvy, excellent communication skills, and an ability to take risks are equally if not more important to moving up the corporate ladder. This rule is true for both men and women, but women especially need to identify that being assertive, savvy and true to ones self is necessary and to find a style that works is important.Drop the old notion that only results matter, for they are really only part of a total package. Consider that staying in the loop something is more important than working harder. Find put what the lines of communication are within your organization and follow them, stay on top of them and never be blind-sided by a lack of information.
Lesson #3: “No person can get very far in life working 40 hours a week.”
Growing up in an impoverished childhood, Marriott knew all too well that success began with determination. From traveling across the U.S. to help support his father’s sheepherding business, to working every summer to pay for his university tuition, Marriott grew up with a determined attitude. Even his professors knew that Marriott was someone to watch for, after he turned his small, one-man operation selling woollen items to lumberjacks into an operation of 45 college students who sold products in seven different states.

Lesson #1: “I learned to make people love me to get my message across.”
As a boxer, Foreman was known as a mean and ruthless fighter. He fought with fury rather than grace; he stormed around the ring with rage while his opponents danced around him. He even showed up to fight Muhammad Ali with a fierce German Shepherd at his side. It was not so much a persona as his actual personality. He was unpopular both in the ring and out, and unless he was willing to make some changes, Foreman knew that nobody would want to listen to him talk, let along buy anything from him.

Term Life Insurance Quotes
Anyone who has researched the massive world of life insurance has been clued in to the heated debated regarding which type of life insurance is better: whole life insurance or term life insurance? The real issue at hand is not which life insurance offer is better, but which insurance policy works better for your particular financial needs and desires and can offer you the best security and protection for your family’s financial future. Over 55% of American families do not currently have life insurance, leaving the financial future of their loved ones to the winds of chance. Truthfully, life insurance is just too affordable and beneficial to avoid and should be a major focal point for men and women who need to ensure their families will always be provided for.

What Do You Need, A Mentor Or A Coach?
I don't know about you but I have been trying to get answers to this question. I have used these two words loosely and interchangeable. They are coach and mentor. Is there a difference between these words? Confusion again? There are several definitions for the words mentor and coach. A mentor is a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. A coach is to give instruction and advise.

You Have the Right to...Have Male Friends!
Right #9 You Have the Right to...Have Male Friends! For some of you this statement could be controversial so let me clarify. When you live your life with integrity - i.e., you have good personal ethics and you have developed a reputation of trust - then having male friends will not be seen as a threat to your existing relationship with your man. Having friends of the opposite sex is important in many ways. In my seminars, when I talk on the topics of Leadership, Coaching, Team Building, Parenting, and Communication, I recognize the fact that men and women do all those things equally, but differently. I take care that every seminar contains what men need to hear and what women need to hear...and they're different! When I walk into a big networking event at a conference or a chamber of commerce, I see women talking and sitting
Retirement Is Not The Goal, Entrepreneurism Is
Most working men and women over the age of 50 start thinking about retirement, and many start planning for it. They do their due diligence on investment strategies, position themselves well in their companies, review their estate planning, and so on. While each individual step in retirement planning in amongst itself is sound advice, the main question to ask during this transitional phase in their lives is, "What is the goal?" Retirement should not be the goal. Retirement limits your potential to positively impact the lives of others. Owning a simple yet fully principled internet business where you are the centerpiece of leadership is the key to getting all the benefits of retirement, with the added advantages of residual income and a source of true happiness for you and your family.

Copywriting For the Female Market
Did you know that women make over 80% of the buying decisions (even of products we think of as male) yet the sales copy techniques commonly used were developed in the 1920's when women weren't the buyers? Lorrie Morgan Ferrero has rewritten the recipe and she shared this with me on a recent interview. Here is Lorrie's recipe for adapting your sales letters to appeal to the female buyer: The important thing to know is that the way sales letters are traditionally written works.
Love Relationships
As I help people discover and define their genuine Core Desires, I find that the area that stands out most is the longing for a personal love relationship. You must determine if you are the kind of person you want to be. Can you attract the kind of person you want to be with? We usually have a great deal in common with those we are closest to. Think about the people you feel close to. You probably have similar beliefs, laugh at the same jokes, and share interests in movies, sports, styles, food, and hobbies. The more you have in common with a person, the more enjoyable the relationship will be and the faster it will grow and thrive.
Repent! The End Is Near!
As we come to the end of the year, we might wonder, 'What do I do when I come to the end of a midlife relationship?'

Who Makes a Better Salesperson - Men or Women?
Tom Peters said women are better salespeople than men. I wrote that Objective Management Group has data that proves that a greater percentage of women are stronger than men. Here is how that data breaks down:
I Can't Get No . . . Satisfaction
The ways that women and men choose to deal with the midlife transition are diametrically opposed: one approach works; the other one doesn't. Which is which?
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.

Midlife Is the Antidote

Asset - Thinking about the Needs of Others
On ABC’s Primetime segment “What Would You Do?” we watch as many men and women walk by individuals in their time of need. We rationalize in our minds that we should not get involved in other people’s business. We allow fear to grip and paralyze us from taking some type of action. No matter what the situation we must use wisdom in dealing with it. However, we can do something can’t we? It is pure selfishness on our part if we see someone being abused in some way or hurting and not do anything about it. We can at least do something.
Are You Listening?
The act of listening is probably the most powerful tool you have as a leader. The act of listening is carefully paying attention to sounds, not just to words. It doesn’t take much to practice this. If you start now, in a few weeks you will be a more skilled listener than the majority of people on the planet. Keep practicing and people will notice. Soon you will be a more effective leader. Are you listening?
You Get What You Reward
More often than not an organization says one thing in its literature, on nicely formatted signs in hallways and conference rooms, but unfortunately does not practice what it preaches. As your organization decides what it wants its culture to be, look closely at what it will reward. Remember…You get what you reward.

I recently had a disturbing conversation with a close friend who has been employed by a Fortune 500 company for thirty years. Upon asking the question, “How are things at work?” this individual replied, “Not good.” The obvious next question was, “Why?”
SETTING THE RIGHT GOALS
If we don't have a clear idea of our goals, our lives can become rather aimless. A coach or a close associate can encourage you to have an aspiration and be motivated. Being clear of our goals, is one of the most powerful motivating factors. Nothing will come of nothing. Dare Mighty Things (Shakespeare)
Visionarys Disease and the CEO
We all know the value of vision. The Greek philosophers spoke about it. Former President George Bush recommended attention to "the vision thing." What happens when an organization's problem isn't a lack of vision but too much? What happens when the CEO's vision changes monthly, weekly, or even daily-driving his organization crazy? Welcome to Visionary's Disease. If you are consulting to someone who suffers from it, you are probably very frustrated.
The Wage Gap is Alive : It's no Surprise but What Can We Do?
The Census Data tells us that the wage gap between men and women still exists. In particular, men outnumber women in high paying jobs. While 13% of men working full time make $75,000 or more, only 4% of women earn at this level. The difference in wages has been decreasing steadily, but what can we do to make sure that we continue on the right path:

Old Mutual and South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Launch $12.9m Microfinance Initiative, Isivande Women’s Fund (IWF)
The Department of Trade and Industry of South Africa has teamed with Old Mutual Group’s Masisizane Fund to launch the Isivande Women’s Fund (IWF), financing women-run enterprises in the country. The new fund is the result of a 2006 study conducted by the DTI’s Gender and Women Empowerment Unit, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and FinMark. The study found that although women are more responsible managers of credit than men, they only receive 30 percent of loans, with black women receiving the least funding.

Are You Too Big for Your Britches?
I have seen, to my dismay, many women in business put themselves upon a pedestal and snub peers whom they consider to be of no use to their business. They feel that they are more of a true woman business owner than some other women, basing this all on the type of business the other women own and run. These women in business are making a huge mistake, in my opinion. Not only are they losing potential networking opportunities and a chance to learn valuable lessons, but they are also creating a bad reputation for themselves.
How Smart Women Stay Busy
I have the good fortune to spend meaningful time with a lot of smart women who keep me on track about what’s going on in women’s lives. One topic that resonates with many of these women (and with me) is the idea of busyness. It is vital that we as women take the time to explore what provides us with meaning, energy, and passion. Whether we are married or unmarried, with children or without, we all have the same number of hours in the day. We can spend those hours doing things that energize us.

Men and women think differently, especially about money. Although both men and women are concerned about security; many women think about what money represents, where men tend to think of what money can buy. There is no right or wrong, we just think differently. Money has no gender, anyone, man or woman can earn, spend, save or invest it. The results of a survey of 1,000 spouses conducted for Money Magazine, found men and women had dramatically different ideas about who does what with the family finances and what is important to their partners. 27% of men believe their wives think having the right investments is very important. Yet nearly half of the women surveyed say it is important. 45% of men say that having cash for emergencies is very important to their spouse, when in reality 67% of women believe it's crucial.

This article is about women realizing that it’s sometimes in our 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and Beyond when we realize some of our biggest life passions.
