What regarding delegating is not working out for you? How come people are not following where you are leading them? I find there is something important which often leads up to the final act of successful delegation.
Some people are too big for some jobs and always passing things on to others. Others hold on to work and refuse to let someone else do it, for fear it won’t get done right. (more…)
What if you had a button you could push to enable a superpower in your life? Is it possible to turn on a special ability in communication or success in relationships? I say YES! Your communication with any other person starts in your mind, your thoughts.
The outcome of that communication is determined in large part by what you expect, and most importantly what you believe about yourself as a communicator.
Sure you will always learning more about and improving in, your communications and relationships, but the fact is, you do have what it takes to manage them well. Often we have just been programmed negatively over time and we keep living out those old programs. You don’t have to stay there. (more…)
What could happen if you finally took that leap to do the very thing you’ve been dreaming of doing? Or, maybe you’re like me and you just like things the way things are and you don’t want to know what could happen. Well, sort of? Actually, not at all.
I love how this video highlights the tension that exists as we develop and learn throughout life. To tell you the truth I was just lazy, and scared of making a mess, if I tried anything new. There you have it, that is what kept me in my “comfort zone”. (more…)
What is Nelson Mandela’s legacy? I’ll leave writing that up, to others who definitely know better, but here are three takeaway’s from his life you can use to change your part of the world, locally or globally.
Earlier this year I watched the movie Invictus, which highlighted the early days of his presidency and all I can remember is the deep impact it had on me. I was moved to tears. (more…)
It happened. The unexpected came to pass and now you’re screwed. Really? Something happened. So what? Are you gonna go through door number one, door number two or door number three? As crazy at it may seem, you’ve simply been presented with choice.
Yes, those crazy things that come at us can be so frustrating. Problems may come from our boss or a relative, or even a complete stranger. Maybe there it’s just a failure or mistake on our part. In the end there’s nothing you or I can do about what happens.
This is the fascinating thing though, we always have a choice in how we react. Our mind is an incredible meaning machine. (more…)
Yep, there’s more to do with that sexy feeling than… well, you know. Great fun and pleasure! And in addition to nurturing your intimate relationship, it can actually transform your work, activate your creativity and yes even impact your bank account. Sounds more like a turn off. I know! But hear me out.
Those days after a great date or an intimate night with our lover or significant other can be some of the best days of our lives. I know I’ve had incredibly productive days in that state. Walking on cloud 9. I don’t need to convince you of that. I’m sure you’ve experienced it for yourself.
This, often misunderstood, aspect of our lives provides us with an invaluable resource. In his landmark book Napoleon Hill made an incredible connection between sexuality and our mental faculties. He said:
The human mind responds to stimuli, through which it may be “keyed up” to high rates of vibration, known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc.
He listed 10 mental stimulants in his book Think and Grow Rich. At the top of the list, as the most powerful, is sex, followed by others which included, love, music and auto-suggestion, also known as affirmations.
What these things do is, increase the frequency of the vibration of the mind. Viola, you are connected to new thoughts and potential, a genius state if you will, otherwise inaccessible in your ordinary state of mind.
Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire,
[people] develop
- keenness of imagination
- courage
- will-power
- persistence
- and creative ability unknown to them at other times. (more…)
What happened? Where did you go wrong? What’s got you thinking, “Now that’s a problem”? I know I hate the feeling, when I realize I have a problem. Why is that?
We can get emotionally caught up, trying to figure out what’s wrong with us. I know I do. Self-talk kicks in.
I’m too late.
I can’t do this after all.
I don’t have what it takes.
I’m such a failure.
Something funny started happening to me recently. My thinking has shifted, and I’m slowly starting to feel challenged and excited by problems. This didn’t come overnight. (more…)
Getting on the same page with your team can be frustrating. Do you ever find yourself thinking “How could I have been any clearer, about what I wanted to them to do?” or “Why can’t they just do this one simple thing?” Managing people, parenting or communicating in general can really test our patience sometimes.
My friend, a business owner and a mother, asked me if I had a book I could recommend, which might help her in management. She could have just done a quick Google search and found something right away.
But she asked me, a coach, and yes, I did have a book in mind. More importantly I felt that I had some tools which are incredibly helpful in any sphere where we work and communicate with people. (more…)
