Oh Those Pesky Bad Habits, Part I
Author: Dr. Sharon House
One of the things I ask every new coaching client to examine is their everyday habits. Why? Basically because good habits strengthen and empower. Negative habits weaken and harm. While positive habits add to our lives, negative habits simply detract, derail and disempower us from truly living a quality life experience; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. They are time wasters, energy "suckers" and affect us much more than we are consciously aware of.

Networking Can Land You The Big One
Author: Thomas P. Meisenheimer
I like to fish Lake Okeechobee in South Florida. It’s a place where good net working can make the difference between landing a ten pound largemouth bass or giving it up to the fifteen foot alligator that usually watches me --- waiting to snap up the one that I let get away. Good networking in human relations can put some “keepers” in your live box for future reference too.

Make It Fun and Get It Done
Author: Jean Charles MA, OTR
I learned a valuable less from my 13-year-old son last week. We were hiking in the woods on our very hilly, rocky farm. He stopped near a cliff and starting hurling some rather large rocks over the edge, seeing how successfully he could get them to smash on a large boulder at the bottom. I got tired of watching him do this after about 20 minutes and suggested that we move on. He protested and kept on his constant picking up, carrying and hurling rocks.

Living Without Regrets
Author: Caterina Rando, MA, MCC
When you approach my front door you can't help but notice the bright white awning with green lettering that reads "No Regrets Apartments". An energetic, friendly and eccentric woman owns my building, it is the theme by which she lives her life. She has lived in the same neighborhood all her life, yet has friends she corresponds with all over the country, she never learned how to drive, yet gets around twice as much as people half her age, she sometimes skips lunch but a day never passes that she doesn't enjoy some gourmet chocolate, and her whole life even in fancy restaurants she always eats her dessert first. When I have asked how she is she has smiled back and said, with asmirk in her upbeat voice" I can't complain, it doesn't do any good anyway". She is on the move living by her own rules, always looking forward never looking back.

Life be design; not by default
Author: Lee Harris
Imagine that right now, right here, today… there is within your grasp not one but several opportunities to redesign specific aspects of your life so that the sum total is a life you absolutely love. Then imagine that the only thing standing between you and your opportunities is a closed mind, fear, habits, concern, worry, drama, or perhaps mental, physical, and emotional clutter. Do you know what a default is? It’s what you get when you don’t choose to get something else and for most of us a default life is average and mediocre with sprinkles of joy in between. A default life is living for the weekend. A default like is hanging on ‘til retirement. A default life is waiting for the kids to grow up, move out, and finish college. A default life is waiting, and waiting, and waiting for things to get better someday…one day. Most people don’t accidentally have a great life, a great job, a great marriage, a great body, or great children. I don’t know about you but I am not touched, moved, or inspired by mediocrity.

Spiritual people who refuse to acknowledge their desire to have money in abundance are, to put it succinctly, kidding themselves.

In Search of Life Purpose

On July 6, 1946 a kid was born to a chorine and an Italian immigrant. A foreceps accident during his birth severed him paralyzed. He also suffered with rickets. At age 15, his parents' divorce, leaving him a homely, sickliest child. By this time, the kid had developed a passion to become a movie star. But the kid’s face and even his deep voice were factors in his constant rejection for stage and film roles. He was turned down for uncountable times. Rather than give up, however, he turned to writing scripts--lots of scripts. He penned the screenplay for Rocky and went to sell it to producers with a condition of he be the star in movie.

Happy New Year everyone - this is a great time to focus on our life plan and define what success means to you. Hopefully it's not just money. In the movie, "Wall Street," Martin Sheen argues with his son, Charlie Sheen, over whether Michael Douglas intends to exploit the father's company, which is the subject of a takeover bid. The father said to his son, "What you see is a man who never measured a man's success by the size of his wallet."

How Attractive Are You?
Author: Myrtis Smith
What makes a person attractive? I'm sure when most people think of attractive, their first thoughts lean towards the physical aspects: a certain body type, a nice smile, sparkling eyes. But we have all met people who, while very pleasing to the eyes, had such an awful personality that we found them anything but attractive. This confirms that there is much more to attraction than meets the eye.

Hone Your Edge, Stay Focused

A common hazard faced by new entrepreneurs is a lack of faith in the power of their offer. Many business people lose focus because they are worried they won’t generate enough cash flow from their core product. They attract potential customers with outstanding expertise but then muddy the water by trying to sell anything those customers want, regardless of how it fits into their business plan. This is confusing, both for the customer, who doesn’t really know what type of business you have, and for yourself. Here’s how to stay on track.

If you worked for this company, this would be the room you would aspire to be in.

Harnessing the Power of the Unknown: Move from Repeating the Past to Re-inventing the Future
Author: Connie Butler
The Unknown - it is scary territory for many, something to be avoided for others and shameful for those who feel they are supposed to know everything. What is your relationship with the Unknown? Take a moment to ponder it because your attitude towards and experience of this is what governs your ability to create, to innovate and truly bring more of yourself out into the world - in short to be successful. If you are going to create something new in your life - in your career, your relationships and your creative endeavors you will be walking into unknown territory. Learning how to navigate this territory effectively and with power is what makes the difference between having a full, rich experience of life and work you enjoy, relishing the adventure of every day or living in frustration wondering why the same thing keeps occurring repeatedly.

Author: Amit Bhatt
Since from the beginning of earth, from the dawn of human race, the society itself has divided into two parts. The division was quite natural, no one has made it, but it was automatic.

He asked the magnifying glass, 'How can you do what you do? You have this incredible ability of tapping into the rays of the sun. You then take those vast rays and bring them to a powerful point that burns holes in leaves and sheets of paper.' The magnifying glass replied to the scientist by saying, 'Well sir, I have learnt this one thing throughout the years. The hotter it gets, the more focussed I become.'

Not because employees want to work at less than their capabilities, because THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULTS....YOU ARE! If you have employees that are working at 20% of their personal capacity, and you have accepted that as standard, then you are hiring at that standard. Because you are accepting less, less is happening...YOU ARE AFFECTING YOUR CASH FLOW!

We’re going to increase profits 20% in 90 days. We’re going to reduce our overhead costs by year’s end. We’re going to hire high-caliber, positive people for our new department. The list is endless. Yet in the quest for higher profits and increased customer satisfaction, many owners and managers put their big vision on the back burner in exchange for a short-term goal. As a result, their business stays the same year after year, with little indication of any growth at all. What went wrong?

Control Your Emotions and Reach the Top!
Author: Carole Nicolaides
Socrates knew it all along. If you want to succeed in life you must “know thyself.” This is the first step for everything and for anybody who wants to make a difference in his or her life. The ability to listen to our own emotions, wants, desires and needs is as important as listening to others. In addition, putting the understanding of your emotions (and those of others) into practice is equally important. There are times all of us want to lash out at our superiors or peers for violating our boundaries, not “getting it”, interfering with our projects, crossing the line, stepping behind our backs, taking advantage of our absence and simply playing the old and cold business game.

COFFEE AND A TIP
Author: Terry L. Sumerlin
One of the challenges of multi-career marriages is allotting time for the family and for each other. Some years ago, Sherry and I began to realize this and decided to take steps to insure “our time” every day. So, we began going to a convenient place in the evening just to have coffee and to visit.

Co-Creation
Author: Molly Gordon
It occurred to me as I was driving up the highway to buy berries at a local farm that all creation is co-creation. I’d been musing about the difference between times of ease and forward momentum and times of struggle. At the risk of oversimplifying things (and keeping this week’s quotes firmly in mind), I suspect the difference can usually be found in whether or not I am aligning my intentions and energy with what might be variously termed "the flow," "circumstances," or even "God’s will."

Coaching Through Change
Author: Donna Karlin
One of the things I work on with my clients is Defining Success. It's more than a personal mission statement....it's success as you know it according to your personal ethics, values and integrity, taking into account competencies, talents and strengths and when you see the results it's extremely powerful. It's who you are according to you. This is your personal contract, the core of what you are working towards, in your personal and professional life what you aspire to be. It gives focus and vision and a vehicle with which to move forward no matter what the circumstance.

Choose A Bigger You
Author: Ann Strong
Last week, I heard myself saying, "I'm an emotional person. That's just who I am." I gave this justification during an intense, messy situation with a friend. I would have felt much happier if I could have responded in a detached, intellectual manner. The next day, I heard one of my clients saying, "I make things hard. I've always been that way." Imagine how much easier her life would be if she routinely told people, "Things are easy for me. It's always been like that."

Busyness is Not a Long-Term Health Plan
Author: Joan Friedlander
"I'm really busy right now, but it's a good busy." I heard these exact words quite a few times the first few weeks of the year. Every time I heard someone say it, it made me wonder what that really means. When I heard it from one person after another, I became quite curious. Although I knew that I was in a transition mode, and that I was happy about being less than busy, it still caused me to feel twinges of concern. I actually had moments when I became concerned about my lack of busyness - was even a little envious - and also wondered why so many people were saying the same exact thing. What did this mean?

Business and Self-Care
Author: Marguerite Tennier, M.A., Personal and Professional Coach
A couple of years ago, I heard someone say that the qualities which are necessary to succeed in business were of one kind, while those which are important in the realm of relationships were of another. Considering that the most (and don't forget, the longest) relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves, it may explain why business and professional people are often challenged when it comes to self-care. Don't mistake me. We (yes, I also find that as a business woman I must make a conscious effort not to fall into the trap) groom, and we go to the beauty salon, and the gym. We dress in nice, often expensive clothes. Some of us drive late model cars. The kind of self-care is am talking about refers to emotional, spiritual and physical self-care: an internal make over. All my business and professional clients show signs of being out of breath. Their lives are and have been for a while, a race. On the outside, they look like peaceful ducks gently flo! ating on the river. Underneath it all, they paddle l

Building Better Employee Relations Through Dialogue

The complexity of the times demands that we build upon the strength of our collective thought and collaborative action. Simply put we need to connect and grow together again.

Believe it and You Will See it!
Author: Anita Pathik Law, CFCC, MSMC
Let's face it, Human Beings want. And most us want a whole lot more than we need. Human needs, as defined by one of my greatest teachers of simple yet profound truths, Dr. William Glasser, fall into one of five main categories; Survival, Love and Belonging, Freedom, Power and Worth, and Fun/Pleasure. Most of us, if honest with ourselves, have the survival needs covered. The others we meet in a variety of ways, some healthy and some, well let's just say, NOT! (check out www.wglasser.com for more information) All behavior, Glasser taught, is completely driven by these needs.

Authentic Success 2 Part Two
Author: Lenny Ravich
In my first article "Authentic Success" Part One, I stated that the way to be truly successful is to be connected to the inner vibrations which say, "I MUST do this for my peace and happiness," and not I "should" do this or that because someone said it is the way to success. If your inner voice vibrates at a ten on a scale from one to ten, then it will be yours in time. Do it, with all the fears and monsters that will inevitably appear. If it is a seven or eight on a scale of one to ten, forget about it, even if your mother, your best friend, or that workshop facilitator told you in her seminar that you "ought to" do it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authentic Success
Author: Lenny Ravich
If you ask a thousand people what success is you'll get a thousand different answers. There is only one true "authentic success". That is when you go deep inside and ask yourself what you truly love. "What could I do that would give me energy, love, happiness, smiles, laughter and optimism and without it I would die?" That's the question you should be asking. Not, "How much money can I make?" If you do what you truly love and what you were meant to do, (your mission and purpose in life) money will flow to you. Trust me on that one.

Are You Marketing Backwards?
Author: Charlie Cook
Marketing is like rowing a boat. When you know how the pointed bow moves smoothly forward through the water encountering the least amount of resistance. Rowing backwards, the square stern of the boat pushes against the water, requiring more effort and increases the risk of having a wave come over the transom (back) and swamping it. Yet most people market backwards, trying to grow their business while pushing against the greatest level of resistance.

A Balanced Life
Author: Brian Tracy
According to psychologist Sidney Jourard, fully 85 percent of your happiness in life will come from your personal relationships. Your interactions and the time that you spend with the people you care about will be the major source of the pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction that you derive daily. The other 15 percent of your happiness will come from your accomplishments. Unfortunately, many people lose sight of what is truly important, and they allow the tail to wag the dog. They sacrifice their relationships, their major source of happiness, to accomplish more in their careers. But one’s career, at best, can be only a minor source¾and a temporary one, at that¾of the happiness and satisfaction that everyone wants.

Today, albeit on a larger, more global scale, branding continues to provide those same benefits. Volvo is differentiated from other car companies by its promise of safety and security. Disney stands for family entertainment. Virgin is irreverent and risk-taking.
