ARTArticle***Equip yourself to handle difficult conversations wellEffective leaders understand that enhancing relationships is critical to their success.
In fact, of all the behaviors attributed to career derailment, a problem with relationship building is cited most often – almost 46 percent of the time. Communicating constructively is key to enhancing relationships with colleagues and staff, which means you have to be able to handle diffi cult conversations.
What gets in the way? For starters, we are all human beings. When we feel passionate about something, our emotions kick in, putting us in a diffi cult position for communicating.ARTArticle***Finding Balance in an Unbalanced WorldEffective leaders understand that enhancing relationships is critical to their success.
Imagine this for a moment. Your life is a smooth-running machine. You have plenty of time to do all of the important things: eat breakfast, take the kids to school, arrive at work on time, prepare for your meetings, enjoy lunch with a top-performing employee, close a deal with your best client, leave work on time, pick the kids up from school, work out at the gym, make dinner, relax with the kids, spend time with your spouse or significant other, go to bed on time and sleep soundly.ARTArticle***Good Work Won’t Win the Next SaleWhen people buy from you they expect good results. So when they get what they paid for, it’s really nothing special. Therefore, when it’s time to buy again, those same people will consider you because you delivered. But they won’t necessarily buy from you, because again, it wasn’t anything special.
On the other hand, if there was a problem of any sort, you’re remembered as a problem, even if you corrected it. Consequently when it’s time to buy again your chances are slim.ARTArticle***Leverage Year-to-Date Results to Establish and Enhance CredibilityWhen’s the best time to get some buzz for your accomplishments? If you’re like most people, you probably answered during my annual performance evaluation. But in actuality, that’s the worst time. Why? Because everyone else is trying to do the same thing at the same time, which means your accomplishments will likely be diluted or worse, overlooked.ARTArticle***The Leadership Balance SheetEvery year, most successful CEOs take inventory and create strategic plans for the coming year, not only for their organizations but also for themselves. As leaders, they know the importance of planning for their own development, which involves both reflection and introspection. They take a critical look at both their assets and liabilities, creating a personal balance sheet or scorecard for themselves. If you haven’t done this before, a good place to start is simply by asking yourself this question: What do I want people to say about my impact as a leader 10, 20 or 30 years from now?ARTArticle***The Power of Thinking BigIt has often been said that bigger is not always better. That may be true when considering automobiles and the current price of gas, but it is never true when it comes to new ideas or personal dreams where thinking big is always better.
Let me illustrate. Think back to when you were a child. Perhaps you dreamed that one day you would grow up, get married, and have children. A nice dream, right? And many of you have likely achieved some version of that dream. But what if you had dreamed instead that you would grow up and marry a billionaire? Sounds crazy, right?ARTArticle***Three Lists Everyone Should Use to Increase ProductivityFor those of you who may have been coasting this summer, September is a great month to get back on track with your goals. Take time to dust them off and determine what you can reasonably accomplish between now and year-end. Then drill down what tactics will help you accomplish your goals. It’s as simple as that, right? Not really.
If you're like most busy professionals you are probably feeling overwhelmed at best. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I find it helpful to create a series of lists to help me not only feel more organized but ultimately get more done.ARTArticle***Three Steps for Managing a Stressful Relationship with Your BossDid you know that your relationship with your boss can impact your health and well being? It’s true. In fact, people who are unhappy take an extra 15 sick days each year according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.ARTArticle***Three Steps for Staying Positive in a Negative Business EnvironmentUnless you have been living in a closet, you know that fuel costs are soaring, consumer prices are rising, and a fall election is looming ahead of us. On the work front, budgets are being slashed, projects are being put on hold or eliminated, salary increases are non-existent and hiring freezes have been implemented.
If that doesn’t cause you to either run screaming or to want to bury your head in the ground, then read no further. However, if you are like most people, all of these things are bound to have an impact on your attitude and your work environment.ARTArticle***Three Strategies for Putting Balance Back into Your Work LifeHas the pendulum swung too far in increasing productivity at the expense of employee work-life balance? In an article titled, Americans of All Stripes Are Sicker Than They Need to Be, Paul Krugman indicated that full-time American workers work, on average, about 46 weeks per year compared with 41 weeks for full-time British, French and German workers. One indication that this is taking a toll on American workers is that it appears that more employees are taking mental health days. According to a May 8th article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, more than one-third of U.S.ARTArticle***Three Strategies to Accelerate Your Team’s SuccessMany of you know that I am actively involved on several non-profit boards including past president of an international professional association. After serving, I wrote an article titled Five Key Leadership Lessons I learned from Serving on Non-Profit Boards. The five lessons that were critical to a leader’s success included: have a vision; plan the work, work the plan; get the right people on board; fire poor performers; and make course corrections along the way.ARTArticle***Three Strategies to Accelerate Your Team’s SuccessMany of you know that I am actively involved on several non-profit boards including past president of an international professional association.

Suddenly employees are left to wonder who or what is next? Optimism fades and suddenly confidence overall is down perhaps even yours.
How can you cultivate confidence in these challenging times?ARTArticle***Three Ways to Cultivate Confidence When the Chips are DownIn many organizations, when times get tough things suddenly begin to contract en mass – budgets, projects, jobs and communication.

Further, 73% were so unhappy with their encounter with a company when they had complaints that they experienced ‘customer rage’, a term coined by CCA.ARTArticle***Three Ways to Wow Customers with Outstanding Service When Something Goes Wrong – Even When It’s Not Your Fault!According to a survey by Customer Care Alliance (CCA), only 16% of customers felt satisfied by the service received when they had complaints, despite efforts by the company to improve customer relations.

Many organizations that I work with are now turning to behavior assessments and other types of personality trait testing for employees or prospective employees. Assessments can:
1. Help individuals better understand their strengths and position them for jobs that leverage those strengths, and help them create development plans to mitigate weaknesses.
2. Provide a common language to help improve communications between individuals and teams thereby enhancing interpersonal relationships and productivity.ARTArticle***Value Yourself and Others Will TooDuring the past few months, I have had the opportunity to talk with many women about pricing and valuing - both themselves and their businesses - when delivering two of my popular seminars: profitable pricing and negotiation. The ability to value yourself, coupled with strong negotiation skills, are critical in terms of determining your own worth and value, and the value which others place upon you.ARTArticle***Working With Passion: How to Incorporate More Magic into Your Work and LifeWhen's the last time that you told someone that you are passionate about your work? If you're like most people, you probably don't even associate the word passion with your job. In last month's Red Ladder survey, only 34% of respondents said that they do not wake up easily or feel excited about the day ahead. Only 44% of respondents felt that they were doing their best work and living up to their full potential. Further, 56% of respondents indicated that they would like to pursue new interests but often procrastinate or feel paralyzed, and thus, do nothing. Doesn't that make you feel sad?ARTArticle***Your Leadership LegacyThe New Year is upon us and like most smart business people, you are probably taking inventory and making plans for the coming year. Most of these actions focus on exte
al items, like deciding on how many widgets you are going to make and sell, or how many new clients you hope to acquire by the end of the first quarter. While this type of inventory and planning is necessary, it is important as a business leader that you take time to inventory and plan for your own development as a leader, and this involves both reflection and introspection.ARTArticle***Your Leadership LegacyThe New Year is upon us and like most smart business people, you are probably taking inventory and making plans for the coming year.

And to be totally transparent, in the beginning we were not very good at it, in fact you could say that we pretty much stunk. :-) But we learned, some through trial and error, some through modeling other people’s methods and a lot through investing in various workshops, courses and mentors.ARTArticle13 Resume Blunders That Can Cost You the InterviewWe start with the mistakes that should be avoided at any cost in case you do not wish to lose the opportunity of being interviewed.

A better question might be - have you got some solutions to those problems! We've got some insights into both today.
Business failure, temporarily, (or otherwise!) often comes back to cash flow and working capital.

It was an incredible opportunity to see so many caring professionals sharing their message and their gifts with all of us. They were all absolutely wonderful, but there were a few who really stood out. As we searched for what to call that “stand out” quality, we realized that not too long ago we would have called it “confidence”… but today we would call it “certainty”.ARTArticle3 keys to effective results…follow the steps and build your businessSo the first thing to remember when you are networking is it’s all about them, not you.
This might sound a bit strange, after all you are going out to find clients aren’t you?
Well, yes, but clients come and work with you after you have built up a relationship with them. Let’s liken it to a romantic relationship. If you went straight up to someone you fancied and asked him/her to marry you, they would run a mile!
Well it’s no different with the client/service provider relationship. Asking for the business on the first meeting would be just like asking them to marry you!rARTArticle3 Mistakes Conscious Entrepreneurs Make When Launching a Product or ProgramOf all the marketing tools out there (and make no mistake about it, product launches are a TOOL -- nothing more, nothing less) product launches have got to be the most frustrating, misused and misunderstood tool.
There is nothing that will bring an entrepreneur to their knees faster than a busted launch. Worse, even if the launch ISN'T a failure, it's still the cause of more worry, anxiety and sleepless nights than any other marketing tactic I've ever seen (and trust me, I've seen a lot).ARTArticle3 simple steps to better your currency trading resultsForeign Exchange is the largest financial market in the world. 3 trillion dollars are transacted daily over 6 continents daily over 6 days a week and every week in a year.
