Is the way you look at your life impacting the way your life is looking ? (You may need to read that line again!)  If your perception is your reality,  then it may be worth some time and energy to become aware of your vantage point and see how it is serving you.  The Advantage-Vantage point Look at each challenge as a chance to strengthen your…

I recently learned how to reset my “default setting” for the text font on my email. The default setting had been a Times New Roman font and I really prefer Arial, so I was pleased to learn how to reset the default. This led me to think about the ways in which we react to situations in life.…

Many of us remember jamming to Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones as he lamented about not getting any satisfaction in a tune entitled, (I can’t get no)Satisfaction. I wonder if he really meant “satisfaction,” or was it a deeper yearning for fulfillment that was actually eluding him? This week I’d like to look at the…

I recently heard the quote, “Eighty percent of success is just showing up.”  Showing up declares to the Universe that you are ready!  Often times we don’t  “show up”  due to some self-doubt or a story we made up about the reasons we are not ready.  If you have an idea or plan that is waiting to be set in motion, act on it.  By showing…

And boiling water can create the steam needed to power a locomotive. One extra degree makes all the difference.” Today I want to challenge you to “turn it up” one…

The Law of Recency – or “What have you done for me LATELY?” In the early 1900’s psychologist Edward Thorndike coined several “laws of learning.” His “Law of Recency” states that things you have learned or encountered most recently are best remembered (and can interfere with old learning.) In business this translates in a couple…

I recently worked with a CEO who was hesitant to confront one of his executive team members because the CEO thought she would be offended by the concern. We spent a few minutes discussing the situation and I invited him to look at the interaction as a development opportunity. As he began to see this…

Last week we took a look at aiming your arrow at your target.  This week consider the qualities of your arrow. What makes your arrow (your goal or intention) move powerfully in the direction you want it to go?  A great aim on your part, a steady arm and lots of practice are all needed.  And then…

In the U.S., this week we are preparing to cast our votes in the National Elections. It is both a privilege and a civic responsibility to vote on Election Day. I want to encourage each of you to take the time and state your preferences at the polls on Tuesday! Now, let’s take a look…
