Selling is not a dirty word

We are not born with our beliefs or values, they are taught to us. Our thoughts, feelings, views and opinions about the world are shaped by our experiences of many people and many things. They are coloured, rightly or wrongly, by our perceptual filters which we learn from others. ‘Watch who you let near your mind’ is a statement that is often quoted in my articles and for good reason. It takes between 6-8 weeks to unwittingly pick up and adopt another’s views, beliefs and perceptions and own them as your own if we do not question and thoroughly examine the consequences and impact of these beliefs and perceptions on our own thoughts, feelings, behaviours and actions.

Become a Master of Change

For most of us, the thought of change can send us into a panic attack. For some of us, we might fear change because it disrupts our sense of security and consistency by challenging our perceptions. As much as we crave stability and security, change is an inevitable part of life and we can either choose to embrace it or resist it. Life is really a series of changes and each change is a challenge. It's an opportunity for us to learn - to grow - to expand. Some changes might be small while others may be large, but they each bring the opportunity to learn something new about yourself and the world around you. Learn how to become a master of change so you can be even more successful - personally and professionally.

Leo Buscaglia has been quoted as saying; "Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us."

In today's medicated, Prozac era, more and more business leaders are finding (and sometimes being required to utilize) great success from the services of a business or executive coach.

HOW TO CREATE A BRAND ONE PROSPECT AT A TIME

By Robert Croston Having spent longer than I care to admit pursuing traditional brand development through advertising, I recently became fascinated with the prospect of building brands using direct response marketing and lead generation activities.

You simply can't do both at the same time. Or can you?

A Prescription From The PR Doctor To Prevent Unhealthy Public Relations

The public’s perceptions of the health and well being of a company can be formed by the publicity the company and its leaders receive in the media.

Yet, there are so many times and so many examples of public relations efforts being done in an unhealthy manner.

Discernment: Discovering a Vision for the Future

It would be so much easier, I think, if I could really be the 'master of my destiny'. Yet, deep down I know that I'm a part of something much bigger than myself. To the extent that I can join the flow of that 'something', I find an energy within that makes even the most difficult engagements go almost effortlessly. On the contrary, when I fight it, even the simplest tasks take a herculean effort. Discernment allows me to come into alignment not only with my own destiny, but it creates a synergy between me and the rest of the world.

Comprehending Our Frames of Perception

Most of the time, I think that I'm seeing the 'big picture' when I'm trying to make sense out of what I perceive. Yet, that's never the case. I'm always seeing things from just one limited viewpoint. That's my 'frame' from which I gather my knowledge and experience and on which I impose my interpretation. It's only when I realize how narrow that frame is that I can become ready to let in other perspectives and consider other alternatives.

Wisdom Is Knowing What We Don't Know

Comprehension, as most people understand it, is not a strength but rather a weakness. People often presuppose wrongly that everyone has the same comprehension as they do. Arrogance insists that our vision of the "facts" is the right one. Humility demands that we be aware of how much of our own personal interpretation goes into our vision of reality. We begin to have real comprehension once we realize that our perspective may not be the only valid one.

Release & Resolve Stress and Anxiety

In the process of recognizing a sense of stress or discomfort, we may observe that many times our reactive state sits in judgment of the experience; right or wrong and/or good and bad. In order to release this deep anxiety, we want to invite in the possibility of sitting with the inner body sensation of the experience vs. the built-in stories and thoughts that arise around the emotional or physical block or discomfort.
