Mental Health and Wellness - De-clutter and Let Go of that Baggage
As human beings we have some pretty interesting views on life, death and the world. Sometimes we believe that hanging onto things keeps the memory of someone we love who has passed or an old love alive. In fact quiet often it holds us stuck in our pain, and has a negative impact on your mental health and wellbeing, so that the physical stuff we keep is a representation of the emotional baggage attached to it. So why am I in a position to be an authority on this subject? If you have read some of my blog posts or know of me, you will also know that my eldest son Ryan died in 2007. We are coming up to the 2 year anniversary (28th August, 2009). Have you ever lost someone you loved?

Creating an effective sales performance management system
Following on from last week’s article about managing and measuring the right things in sales, I thought it would be worth looking at some of the key principles for effective sales performance management systems. The first place to start is to align your sales performance management system and subsequent key measures to your organisation’s strategy and goals. It’s then the job of the CEO and the Sales Leader to ensure the organisation (that means everyone else who supports the sales effort) is aligned to the sales performance management system. When this dimension is in place the organisation is best placed to sustain high sales performance.

Where Are You In Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs?
As a social work and psychology student, Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs was a theory in which we focused a great deal of time. According to Maslow, there are five levels of needs, ranging from physiological to self-actualization. It is difficult to move from one level to the next without first meeting your needs at the lower level. If you can identify where you are currently at in the hierarchy, it will give you a better understanding of where you are coming from and what you need to do to reach the fifth and final step, self-actualization.

Work From Home Business Means Giving Up Your Day Job Mentality
Work from home business and a day job mentality are opposites that do not attract. A job mentality is getting up in the morning and going out to put in an 8 and one half hour work day. When the work day is done you come home to relax, put your feet up and forget about the workplace until the next day when you start all over again. The tasks you are expected to carry out are clearly identified when you accept the job. All of that changes when you work for yourself. Dreaming of a home based business often includes a scene where you are sitting in an easy chair sipping coffee or your favorite beverage with the phone at your side. If that phone is not ringing off the hook then you are dreaming about a vacation not a home based business business. You must understand that owning a work from home business means giving up your day job mentality.

Ways to sparkle in tough times
My old college roommate recently asked me if she still has the "shine" factor. On a quest for a new job in this difficult market, she wanted to know if she embodied that "sparkle" she used to have when we were just entering the workforce after graduation. As a career coach, I advised her that to be a star and advance in this current economy, she may need to pull out some extra glitter and go well beyond the normal call of duty. Here are some other tips that I shared with her:

Control Your Inputs
Your mind is your ultimate personal computer. Like your laptop at home, sometimes you might forget to turn on your mental virus protection program allowing negative thoughts to invade your mind - without even realizing it. So, the computer adage "Garbage in, garbage out" as it applies to your mind should really be "Garbage in, garbage stays."

Diversions, Distractions, and Drama
If the name of the game is 'Life', then 'uncertainty' is how it's played. All the other illusions are merely debilitating distractions along the way.
Store Layout
A Customer’s buying decisions primarily depends on Store’s Layout or Ambience and how well the products are placed. Other aspects like price, brand, etc. comes at a second stage.

How Do I Start A Going Green Business?
The recently coined term, “going green”, has become a well-known household expression in the past few years. Essentially, going green means adapting your lifestyle in an attempt to do as little damage as possible to the environment. Homes have begun going green by doing things like having compost boxes so there is less garbage in the landfills. So, we know the basics behind how an individual goes green, but many companies or entrepreneurs have started to ask themselves: how do I start a going green business? Getting a whole business to go green is a little more difficult and definitely requires more work in order for it to actually be effective. A greener workplace involves everyone in the company, not just an individual effort.

Ten More Important “Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Building upon another article I wrote on important lessons learned for leaders, I thought about additional important “lessons learned” for leaders that could be shared.

It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. Here are 10 more important "lessons learned" for leaders.
