The Power of NOW during Chaos and Transformation: A Personal Story of Peace under Fire.

The first lesson in my book The Power of Inner Choice is "The Power of the NOW." In cultivating "living in the present," you are invited to identify current "practices" in your life...a practice being something that you do on a regular basis. For example, working out, showering, driving, listening to spouse, walking the dog, doing the dishes, eating, sex...are all examples of practices -- to turn into NOW Practices. The idea being, as we consciously cultivate "being present" when it's EASY, during a task we already have mastered, we naturally become more present throughout our lives.

Lessons from a Maverick
What a lesson this brave little horse has to offer.

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.

Leadership, Fame, Success, and Jon Gosselin

Did you ever read a blog, check news headlines, watch a television program and have quick thought, sort of like, "what a jerk" or "they messed up"? We all do; mostly without having the whole picture in mind. We make statements about success, failure, winners, and losers. Wonder what people think of you? Have you ever had employees complete a 360 feedback evaluation about you? Anyone ever blog about you, your company, your products; leave comments on Facebook or LinkedIn? The web and social media have changed the ways we communicate. It's a new world, new rule of conversing, and we are all in a steep learning curve about what is fair, right, ethical.

Latest findings from the world of Sales Transformation

I recently had the opportunity to MC and attend the Optimising the Sales Force Conference – OSF2010 which was the follow up to the inaugural OSF2009. Building on last year’s success, this year’s conference was attended by over 120 high level sales leaders across Australia. Once again I was privileged to be part of the panel of international and local experts presenting on this year’s topic, Sales Transformation. This was the second time in Australia that we have had the opportunity to come together as a profession and share ideas and discuss important matters moving forward, and from the looks of it, we will be doing this again. The feedback from our international sales experts was that this was one of the best forums in the world.

"We May be Poor but..."

It started off so innocently which made the contrast that much more painful. We were kidding around as our family often does at night. Ann had offered to make chocolate chip cookies -- favorites of Amber and mine. Then we discovered we were out of chocolate chips. It was close to 9 pm and I wasn't excited about going out, so Ann suggested we make oatmeal cookies, then we realized we were also out of cranberries. In the midst of all this she said, "This is how poor people live..." or something to that effect. That's it -- 6 words that felt to me like a 250 pound thug had struck me in my solar plexus.

What We Can Do to Transform our World On Purpose

I recently read an interview of Marianne Williamson as she discussed her new book, The Gift of Change. During the interview she talked about the happenings around 9/11 and that we had an opportunity to engage in an authentic inquiry into such questions as, "Why do these people hate us?" Unfortunately, instead, we then turned away from the inquiry and chose a path of fear instead. But perhaps it's not too late to engage in the inquiry again. As I started to do this for myself what came up was quite interesting.

Transformational Marketing
We’re living in a time where not only has marketing radically changed, but the medium is changing us.

Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life by Dr Judith Orloff

There are many people who are facing a wide variety of stresses, discouragements, disappointments and other events and situations that take an emotional toll on their lives. Sadly, many people feel there isn’t much they can do to help themselves, their loved ones or their business associates who are having a tough time. Or, they feel that medication is the only answer. I’m the sort of person who avoids medication as much as possible, so I’m always on the lookout for other alternatives. I’m also a person who is very concerned about friends and associates who are emotionally fragile or who find themselves in difficult and trying situations. We all know people who have more than the usual problems in their lives. So – what can we do to he

Conversational engagement versus static accessibility: sharing knowledge in the 21st century

Key points • Old mindsets must be set aside in favor of a more progressive view that is commensurate with the growing awareness that an organization’s purchasing team is not merely a functional extension of another department, but plays a critical strategic role in the emerging global enterprise. • This is not just limited to purchasing, as both CIOs and CFOs are going through a transformation that is based on a collaborative versus a siloed view of organizational duties and complacent relationships. • A key enabler for this change in outlook is the various social networks and mediums. But it is painfully apparent that the recognition of how social networks can and ultimately will influence both conversational insight and the purchasing function itself is lost on the majority of procurement professionals.

The Fruits of Fulfillment Aren’t Grown Outside

People spend a lot of time seeking their life treasure by changing jobs, getting into new relationships, going on vacations, and other activities focused "out there". There's an expectation that once they finally find "it" - their next big 'click', more money, better toys - that they will finally feel fulfilled.

The Secret - Ancient Scrolls and Their Impact on the Sales Force

Al Turrisi was kind enough to give me a book called the Power of the Kabbalah. Its ancient scrolls originated around 4,000 years ago, inspired The Secretand predate Moses and the Bible! Since this book is not the Kabbalah itself, rather a Cliff Notes version, it tends to read more like a self-help book. It is far more powerful than a self-help book though as it points to a number of rules that will cause a transformation in one's life.

Expectations were boosted by easy loans with cheap interest.

Why Should I Trust You As My Leader?

It happens all the time. We “require” the employees of our organization to blindly trust in the changes we implement, although we haven’t fully explained the transformation and the reasons behind it. Quite often the change and the reasons behind it might seem quite obvious to those who have the inside information and are part of the management inner circle. To employees outside of the circle, however, the change causes impact, discomfort and anxiety. As executives of our organization, should we expect compliance and blind trust, or is the responsibility on our shoulders to communicate and lead?
