Let’s Talk About LOVE!
The Best Kept Secret in Business...Love Love is a way of Being which, when present in any situation enables those present to experience care, concern and genuine warmth towards each other. More importantly, an absence of Love may be experienced as feeling lonely or a...
Cultivating peace of mind is easy when you know how to
What would it take to turn that ‘little voice’ into your greatest ally?
It’s going to take weeding out the thoughts, beliefs and dare I say it, even people who are not supportive. That doesn’t mean you don’t take on feedback as feedback from the right people who have earned the right, is very valuable. I’m not talking about that. However, just like when you tend to your garden you have to be continually removing weeds; the same logic applies to your thoughts etc. that don’t serve you. Weeds choke your garden and the same is true of thought patterns that are destructive.
Let’s talk Confidence: It’s a muscle worth building
We all have an idea of what it is to be confident and we recognise it when we see it or hear it: Confidence is being certain about the truth of something or a self-assurance of one’s own abilities or qualities; it’s the belief that we can rely on or have faith in someone or something and helps you gain credibility, make good lasting first impressions and supports you in dealing with pressure and meeting life head-on.
Accountability…who are you going to tell?
Own It! Best to BE Accountable before demanding the same! Who Are You Going To Tell? If you ever want to achieve anything, the first step is to tell someone, Accountability! I get paid to be that someone! Seriously, why beat about the bush? I get paid...
Are You Feeling Stuck in the Mud of Life?
As it so happens, when you change your Context magically, you are no longer stuck. You can only achieve so much by DOING things, after all, there are only 24 hours in a day, and most of us need to sleep. You could use a backhoe instead of a shovel, change the plan, change the Context of what you are doing. Another way of expressing this is to change the Context of who you’re a Being, in this case, stop Being a driver and start Being a pedestrian. Note how suddenly there now exists a new universe of possibilities.
Every good story needs a good guy and a bad guy
Every story needs a hero and a villain. Of course, there is a victor and a victim, as well. Again, just open any history book to see this at play, or any watercooler in any staff room, the same types of narratives are at play. I’ll bet most of the time you cast yourself as the Hero. I know that’s my preferred role. Others prefer to be the victim. That doesn’t belittle the circumstances you might find yourself in. Sometimes situations can be pretty tough. So, there’s NO judgement here. It’s a perfectly human way to be.
UNCOMFORTABLE with Life? Discomfort is your best ally.
It’s counterintuitive Nothing ever changes without Discomfort! Literally nothing, you can't even brush your hair without making some sort of effort! Some discomfort is even comforting, like the muscle ache that comes after exercise…So why are we so down on Discomfort?...
Responsibility: You can’t wear THAT old thing!
When you are responsible for your choices you don’t disown them down the track or even 5 minutes later. You literally decide and own them UP-Front. That’s the kicker. That’s the piece most of us struggle with or conveniently forget when we change our mind.
What’s lurking around the dark recesses of your mind?
What's lurking around the dark recesses of your mind? It's funny what you find when you start poking around in your shed or in your mind. Just recently, I was asked to take on an Integrity Challenge. In this challenge, you create a list of tasks for which you have...
Power it’s a loaded topic: Harness the power within you!
We take things for granted because we experience the benefits of what those before us have fought for. And, we aren’ there yet. Inequality is everywhere. If we are to empower those around us what is foundational is learning to empower ourselves and that, like anything worth having, takes some work to achieve. In an instant gratification world, that isn’t so appealing.
