Overcoming Barriers In The Family I have a riddle for you. In this wonderful intervention by Tony Robbins, an eighteen year old girl stands up complaining of suicidal thoughts and feelings. And maybe an hour later, Tony is working not only with her but more directlywith her mother, helping her to be more courageous in her life. So how does that work? It’s the same reason why, as Strategic Interventionists, someone may come to us with a money problem and a relationship problem – and we end up solving both problems with the same strategy. This is especially the case in your relationship with your teenagers or adult children. 1. 2. 3. 4. One of the biggest mistakes we ever make is the underestimate the influence we have on others. We hope this helps you, and please let us know your thoughts. Warmly, Mark Peysha CEO Robbins-Madanes Training
About Marcus Once you've broken all the rules and launched your career by writing an instant classic management book, what do you do for an encore? If you're Marcus Buckingham, you dedicate yourself to understanding what makes world-class managers tick, bottling it, and sharing it with the world. Photo by Martin Cohen Marcus first conquered the bestseller lists in 1999 with First, Break All the Rules. While the title may imply an iconoclastic streak, his continuing plea for managers to break with tradition has nothing to do with rebellion; instead, he argues, rules must be broken and discarded because they stifle the originality and uniqueness — the strengths — that can enable all of us to achieve our highest performance. Following up on his highly successful debut book, Marcus continued to spread the message that people's unique personal strengths are the key to unlocking their potential. Ultimately, Marcus's strengths message is powerful because it is based on rigorous data collection and analysis.
What if, it’s what you think you know, that’s actually holding you back? « Laura Borland Laura Borland Now what has a picture of cakes got to do with the title of this blog? Well, let me tell you a story and all will become clear. I was out for dinner recently with a friend. Or should I say, that somewhere in my past I had decided I didn’t like any of the deserts. So what did we do? We ordered the deserts. Just for fun. Just to conduct a curious experiment. Instead of eating them from the point of view ‘I don’t like these’ instead I asked the question, ‘I wonder what these will taste like?’ And you know what, they truly were awesome! How much fun was it proving myself wrong? A lot. Why am I sharing this with you? Well, it made me wonder. When was the last time you questioned what it is you think you know? What is it that you’ve decided that you know? What do you no longer question? Your point of view always creates your reality. Change your point of view. Change your reality. Can it really be that simple? Yes. What if, what you are thinking today, is totally out of date with who you are right here and now?
How To Avoid Communication Pitfalls In The Workplace – The Clarion Call to Leadership! This post first appeared on OPEN Idea Forum. There is a large body of work concerning the way women’s communication style differs from that of men. For example, there is research suggesting that females downplay their certainty, while males downplay their doubts. In an effort to crack the female linguistic code, some have even gone so far as to assert that women and men speak different languages. A more reliable way of looking at the issue of communication styles is to look at it from the point of view of personality which is independent of gender. If you are not sure whether you are predominantly a Feeling or Thinking type, you can take a quick quiz here. If we are influenced by stereotypes, we might conclude that the majority of males are overwhelmingly Thinkers while statistics indicate that a whopping 43.5 % of males in the U.S. are Feelers. With this in mind, here are recommendations for improving communication with both types, regardless of gender: Tips for Thinkers:

No Batteries Required: 8 Conflict Resolution Tips Learning to deal with emotions in conflict situations helps us be more effective in our professional or personal lives. August 17, 2011 There is an African proverb that says: “Don’t look where you fell, but where you slipped.” When we find ourselves on the conflict carousel, we often tend to lose sight of the root cause of the conflict. It may very well have originated with us, but, once the conflict with a colleague or superior is set in motion, we seem to suffer from temporary, corporate amnesia—the emotional nature of the conflict clouds our objectivity. Learning to deal with emotions in negotiations or conflict situations helps us to be more effective, whether in our professional or personal life. 1. Do you feel heard, understood and valued for your point of view? 2. Are you treated as an adversary and kept at a distance, or are you treated as a colleague? 3. Do you have the freedom to make a decision without feeling that someone else is telling you what to do? 4. 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
OUTSOURCING AND AUTOMATION | Tyrone Shum Behavior Modeling Modeling Extraordinary Behavior & Modeing Strategies of Expertise Attend a 4-Wednesday Evening Workshop or 2 Day Weekend (Call for dates 602 321-7192) Behavior Modeling is the core technology that makes Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) possible. In the late 1970's, John Grinder and Richard Bandler, the co-founders of NLP, started wondering what might be possible if they could model "expertise." Expertise, after all, is exceptional ability. A potent belief system in the co-founder's exploration of possibilities was that 'if anyone could produce a result, then the component parts of that ability can be taught and installed in others.' Behavior Modeling is a primary way that humans learn. John Grinder and Richard Bandler "modeled" what they had learned from cognitive psychology, Gestalt Therapy, systems theory, cybernetics, computer science and other fields, to develop the foundational pieces of what became Neuro Linguistic Programming.
