What Is All This Talk About Change
However, most people do not like change. In fact, one could say that the only people that like change are babies and the people who work in toll booths or the cashiers at the convenience store! In fact King Whitney, Jr. remarked, “Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind...

Talk is Cheap
All this talk about working on improving our businesses marketing more effectively and building more valuable, long lasting relationships is nice but it’s all TALK! And like my grandfather used to say, “talk is cheap.”
Demonstrating Effective Leadership By Learning How To Walk The Talk One Step At A Time
In businesses and organizations today we hear a repeated complaint that leaders say they want change and continuous improvement, but their actions speak louder than their words. If a leader wants to create real changes in a company’s values, culture and/or employee behavior, they must commit to learn how to “walk the talk.” Here are some tips from your strategic thinking business coach to illustrate how to “Walk The Talk” one step at a time.

How To Differentiate Anything - Including Your Products
One of the keys to achieving success in sales is to develop the ability to focus on value especially when your customer wants to talk about price. Remember, the more you talk about price, the lower it gets. You can differentiate anything, as soon as you change your selling mindset.

Are you ready for change?
Change can pose a real threat. A lot of managers talk to me when their organizations are going through change, or when their teams are not performing at their best. “How do I get this member of staff to see things my way?”
To Real Leadership, Alignment is Everything
It's easy to talk about change, because this makes us feel good. But it's hard to actually change, because changing is difficult and can make us feel bad. Great leadership finds a way to pull people together around a few great, unifying ideas that will allow them to go beyond surviving change, and creates an environment where change can be welcomed and exploited for the common good.
Change is a Fact of Life --- Six Keys That Make a Difference
Without change your company becomes stagnant, uncompetitive and boring. A leader's major responsibility is to create change, instigate change and then manage change effectively. In spite of the fact that creating change is a key competency required to be an effective leader, most people resist change. This includes leaders themselves. However, effective leaders accept change as a positive force and they are able to convince those that follow them that change is nothing more than a roadmap to a new and better destination. How do these leaders minimize that natural born resistance to change?

Be a Change Management Rocket Scientist
When you get down to it, change management is a pretty “soft science” – a combination of ideas from organizational psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology (and some other things ending in “ology” that I can’t remember). This, however, does not impress our friends in the “hard sciences” (engineers, chemists, physicists and other things not ending in “ology”). These guys become suspicious if you talk to them about things you can’t put in a test tube. “Show me the empirical evidence” they say when you talk to them about the soft-side of organizational change. “I want to see the data” or “give me the formula”. This is when a change manager turns into a rocket scientist and pulls out their secret scientific weapon the CHANGE EQUATION!

8 Must Haves to Make Every Conversation Authentically Compelling
One of the main things that hold people back from deliberately making change is uncertainty around how to communicate change to others. Our communication patterns, like everything else, evolve over time and are prone to habits. This article helps you check in with how you speak with yourself and others and see where you can upgrade and feel even better about how you “talk your walk.”

Change Your Self Talk - Change Your Results
The problem is that most of our self-talk is negative. And even worse, we tend to believe our self-talk and that influences our performance - in a big way. For example, have you ever stopped to listen to your self-talk after you missed a sale?

Community precedes culture change
The cultural change talk inside organisations is again alive and well. I have observed this happens in tough times and leaders are searching for ways to gain competitive advantage or strategic positioning. Most of the talk never leads anywhere. When good times return it mostly disappears from the boardrooms and corridors of most organisations. If you are or want to be on the leading edge, change must always be top of mind, regardless of situation or circumstance. Change is both evolution and revolution and usually at the same time. In addition to all change being personal first, followed by change in relationships, there are three critical factors we must embrace to ensure that we thrive on the challenges of change. These are community, culture, and creativity.
