Your life is exactly what you make it – that’s an awesome responsibility! And every “defining moment” is your opportunity to re-choose.
Do you listen to your “little voice”? Have you ever taken a risk or changed the direction of your life because you got the gut punch of a new…
We all love to hear stories of success, of a stellar achievement despite the odds, or the realization of a dream due to dedication and ingenuity. Do you have a story like that?
Stories help us see possibilities for ourselves, and that’s the power of stories – they inspire us, allowing…
Thank you for reading this because I know you are taking time from doing your work, to work on you!
When you make an effort to live at work with as much focus and mindfulness as you live your life, I call it “workstyle”…here’s my definition:
WORKSTYLE is the…
What color is red? When I was in the printing business, and a customer had to pick the color red that would go on their brochure, there were so many choices that it was often overwhelming to choose just one. But in printing, that’s the choice you…
I need to let you know how important it is to just be on time. This is one of the small, seemingly insignificant details that get overlooked in the business of our lives, yet may have a severe impact on your reputation and diminish cooperation and collaboration. Few people complain
For so many years I was REACHING for what I was told I was supposed to reach for. I was good at everything I worked at, but there was no direction. I spent a lot of energy and passion striving to be the best, and I succeeded in many jobs,…
One of the all-time best business practices is to read. Sounds simple, but how do we make time to read all the emails, newsletters, books, trade papers, newspapers and magazines that we need to keep up with our ever-changing environment?
We need to learn to read differently! Here’s how.
First: Simplify.…
When we DARE to FLY, we need other people to ensure our success…we can’t success without other people….it’s all about relationships!
Relationships are key to our well-being and fulfillment, as well as drive our need to create value as leaders. I’m talking about all relationships, whether they’re our colleagues, employees…
Leaders are generous. They give of themselves, their creativity, their caring, their energy, their vision…the best leaders are always assessing how they’re doing, and looking for feedback to be better, to serve bigger.
I go back to my favorite definition of leadership: authentic self-expression creating value for self and others.
Don’t you…
OK – let’s say you have set your clear goals…taken effective and strategic actions…and now you’ve achieved your goal! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope you celebrate your accomplishments as you achieve them. This is the final step in the exciting and fulfilling process of success…you MUST acknowledge and really CELEBRATE your success!
When we love our work, or even if we don’t (and that’s a shame!), we tend to go full tilt as high achievers. We have our goals, we know the actions we need to take to achieve them, and we are continually cultivating the relationships, systems and time to make…
Designing conversations that enhance communication are critical to your success. Communication is only as good as it is “made common” – that is, where all parties understand and agree on what’s happening, what needs to happen, and will do their part in creating results.
Every day we make countless requests: …
Your workstyle needs to grow and expand to embrace all aspects of who you need to be in your future. When you envision your organization’s success (whether your business, your department or your multi-national organization), who you are leads the way for others to follow. You can’t just be at…
Impatience and irritability with others do so much damage…subtle yet insidious.
Leaders, regardless of their level in the hierarchy, have gotten to that position because they were considered able to manage others to greater achievement. Have you met, or worked with someone where someone has risen to the level…
