How to Exterminate Mental ANTs
Have you ever had your day ruined by ants crawling around in your head? No, not the insect type, but rather the Automatic Negative Thought (ANT) variety. Everyone is bugged by ANTs at one time or another, but some people have more trouble holding off the infestation than others.

Anger Solutions at Work - The Psychology of Procrastination
How often do we look at the things we must accomplish today, but we put them off for tomorrow? It is typically the difficult, the challenging, the unsavoury things that we tend to avoid, but they are often necessary to complete if we want to achieve success in our daily lives. One phone call. Sending one email. Finishing that report. Whatever it is that you are avoiding - you can face head on and accomplish in no time, just by making a few simple shifts in your thinking.

Decisions based on emotion = BAD for business
In recent years, there has been a rise in discussion and research around what makes a good leader good. From those discussions, a new field of study and measurement has arisen,. It is called Emotional intelligence, or EQ. (Don't ask me why it isn't EI, but it's not.) In simple terms, EQ is the ability to know and control your emotions, and the ability to recognize and empathize with the emotions of others. For the expertrs in this field, please, don't get your feathers ruffled. Defining EQ is not the point. The point is, emotion does NOT belong in business, and often leads to really bad decisions. Emotion seems to play the biggest role in family owned business where family members are either co-owners or employees. This article talks about how to handle these situations, whether you are on the verge of wading into one, or already there.
Guide to Quality Performance Reviews
Recently, Randstad's 2002 Employee Review showed that 92% of employees with regular performance reviews were satisfied with their manager or supervisor while only 72% of those with no regular reviews were satisfied. Repeatedly, we see supervisor effectiveness as one of the top reasons employees leave an organization. The cost of either an employee loss or just a loss in productivity from supervisor ineffectiveness could be very painful to the bottomline. So, if this statistic is true, do we really want 20% of our workforce to be dissatisfied with our managers simply because they do not have regular performance reviews? If not, then we need to provide managers with techniques and tools to make performance reviews less painful and more beneficial.

Tips for Driving Traffic from Sites like Facebook and Twitter
Social media has become the "Holy Grail" for those trying to drive traffic to their websites. With the ability to find prospects for their business opportunity for free, social media has become a huge funnel for business hype and claims of financial freedom. Unfortunately, not many network marketers know how to drive traffic successfully. An emotion of believing that they have the best business opportunity on the face of the earth forces them to want to bring everyone they come across into their opportunity. This emotion of excitement causes spamming on sites like Twitter and Facebook. Social media is a wonderful tool if used correctly and not used to become that one person that only talks about the same thing over and over.
Adopt an Emotion: PLAYFULNESS
When you think of the word playfulness, what images come to your mind? As we step out of childhood and mature, the emotion of "playfulness" can become a foreign concept to our nervous system. However, it's never too late to reclaim this emotion, and its ripple affect creates magic.
Emotional Muscles
EMOTIONS are a huge element in our lives. They affect how we experience the world... and, each emotion serves as a unique filter for our life's experiences. Sometimes it feels that we're at the mercy of our emotions. I'd like to suggest how we can take greater control of our lives by more consciously choosing some of our emotions. I believe emotions play a powerful role in helping us achieve our goals, dreams, and in creating fulfilling lives. The more we "feel" an emotion... the more we attract that into our lives. Simply put....joy breeds joy. Stress breeds stress. Peace breeds peace. Essentially, it's Law of Attraction.
Emotion Generates Momentum
Positive emotion is the basic building block of creating momentum within yourself and your organization. Positive emotion will create positive motion.

Finding the Magic when you¡¦ve Been Downsized
Losing a job is painful. For senior executives whose lives have been so intertwined with that of their company or business, it is especially painful. There is no way around it. And that's the point. If you try to "get around it," it will likely take you on a detour that will delay what you want: a great new position. Dr. Susan Lord has valuable advice to help get you in "inspired action" mode. That is when the magic begins and that is when you most likely will attract your next career opportunity.
Disagreeing With Brian Tracy: Self-Discipline Is Not The Most Important Success Principle
In his book The Power of Discipline,Brian Tracy talks about self-discipline being the most important success principle. He went on to define self discipline by quoting Thomas Huxley, who said, "Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not." But should we just cast aside how we feel about certain actions in business? After all business does affect the lives of all people and their families. Is self-discipline a recipe for capitalism without a conscience? I advocate putting feeling and emotions back into business.It encourages a sense of purpose and meaning back into business. If you chase success without emotion you will never find it because the pursuit of success is about obtaining a feeling of being successful. Success is essentially an emotion.
Painfully Employed: They got it bad and that aint good
When I was 13, I heard my great aunt say that she purchased an expensive car because she hated her job and needed an incentive to stay. Years later, when I struggled with my own discontent and watched others struggles with theirs, her words resonated with me. I may have been gainfully employed at the time, but I felt painfully employed. During my struggle, I vacillated between excitement, swinking (not quite swimming, not quite sinking) and painful employment: excited with any new opportunities, swinking when they didn't fulfill my expectations, and painfully employed when I became too comfortable being uncomfortable. Three words, "comfortable being uncomfortable," and one quote, "if you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favorable," summed up my painful employment.

Leadership Insight: Drama Queen and Emotion King
I know you know them. You may work with them. They may live in your neighborhood or even your own home. Drama Queen and Emotion King. To Drama Queen (DQ) and Emotion King (EK), every event is worthy of sharing and over sharing. Every small thing that the rest of us brush off and rack up to another day, they turn into a major crisis. As we work to calm others, they work to stir up others. When we try to fix a problem, they tend to make it worse. When they exist in the workplace they offer some significant challenges to leaders.
