ARTArticleIs it Possible to Start a Joy revolution?My commitment this year is to get myself out in the world in a big way, so I can help more people lose their shame, find their courage, explore their gifts, and make the world a better place. This is my mission and purpose in the world and I’m going to do everything I can do to make it happen, and I will never give up. Dinosaur Voice, Ptooie, I spit on you!
My new business is Vicki Hannah Lein: Daring to Be Joyful in Business and Life. I want to start a Joy Revolution to help people practice Radical Joyfulness.ARTArticleIs Spiritual Leadership The Way To Go?The world’s super power leader was at it again last week, winning fans with his charm and wit during a speech at the University of Queensland during the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Brisbane.
Despite detractors who say he is all talk and no action back home, everyone was of the opinion that Barack Obama is a true statesman and superb orator. Unfortunately for Australia’s Prime Minister, the comments were not so generous when it came to him.ARTArticleIs Your Team On A One Way Street?Today I have decided to address one of the most important presuppositions in NLP; "The meaning of communication is the response you get." What does this really mean?
It indicates that the meaning of a piece of communication is not in what you say but rather in what the recipient of your message has understood by it. So if you say something to your colleague, boss, friend, spouse or children and they take it to mean something else, the onus is on you, not them, to clarify it.ARTArticleIt Does Matter!Business Success & Intimate Relationships
Are you an entrepreneur or small business owner? If so, do you realize how much your intimate/primary relationship matters to your business success? Really think about this for a moment.ARTArticleIt's All About MindsetI was talking to Nik Halik the other day—Australian, adventurer, investor, trader, multi-millionaire. We were talking some business strategies, and I invited him onto my radio show, The NEW Think and Grow Rich radio, and we did an interview.
I have read his book, which I highly recommend: The Thrillionaire. Thrill as in 'Wow, what a thrill!" Read it, and you'll know what I mean.
And he is definitely a multi-millionaire. The true extent of his actual riches I wouldn't propose to indicate—I haven't seen his balance sheet.ARTArticleIt’s Different Than What You're Doing NowWhen you see someone, when you meet someone, when you interact with someone, when you get a chance to look at someone who has done what you want to do, whoosh, you have an amazing belief change—because you can see that it is possible. Now, I don't mean people out there. Because we know there are multi-bega-deca-millionaires out there, billionaires out there.
I'm talking about when you see someone that you judge as relatively someone you know. That's good.ARTArticleIt's Far Better To Go Up To The Batting Box To Swing Like Hell And To Miss Than…Any way you look at it, most people are failures. You know, there's the 80/20 rule, which some people correctly say is really the 90/10, or really 95/5. All this is true. I definitely agree with you.
Most people are failures—like if you believe the oft-touted Social Security System study. I don't know if it's true or not, but I know it's been circulated widely. It says that 95% of Americans reaching age 65—that's that mythical retirement age—are unprepared for retirement.ARTArticleIt's Like Pumping Water Up The HillThat's three I know about in the last three days.
Now, I very seldom take a public political position—although as you may know, I'm an iconoclast and I'm pretty much against what's normal. But that's in general.
But on the immigration issue, I've got close connections. Of course, I’m NOT in immigration atto
ey, and I do stand to be corrected… And this doesn’t apply to those who are rich and are willing to invest huge sums of money in the U.S. economy, because, of course, they can get in…
I've got a wife and a child in Panamá. My situation is sooo unique.ARTArticleIt’s Never Too LateHave you ever had one of those days where you think, “I wish I knew how to do this, or I wish I would have gone there, or I wish I would have tried doing that?”
Whether it is something like rock climbing, or learning a language, or getting a degree, it is never too late to do it. If there is one thing that life holds, it is uncertainty. This applies to all areas of your life; career, marital status and death. So if you are thinking that you are too old to learn something, think again.rARTArticleJudgementWithout realizing it, we live our life in constant judgement. We judge ourselves, both our perfections and our imperfections. If you stop and think about it, our entire world is based on judgement.
Our banks judge us on our transaction history to see who is credit worthy and who is not. Our cell phone companies judge us by our minutes and data plan that we have, the list goes on.
From when we were little kids we learned early that we were being judged. Who gets picked for what team, who is smarter, who is prettier, and the list goes on.rARTArticleKnow The 4 Key Questions To Changing Yourself?Hiya,
A while back when I was getting ready to launch my book ‘How To Change Your Life One Day At A Time‘ I decided to create a street video to help promote it.
I had only one question that I wanted to ask of many complete strangers: WHAT ONE THING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I wanted to document how different people would answer the same question, based on their own lives and circumstances. What I found was in many, many cases their answer led me to ask another question, then another, then a final question. (A process I now call ‘Crossing The River‘).ARTArticleKnow the Power of Letting GoKnow the Power of Letting Go
Kahlil Gibran:
“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were”
This famous love quote has implications for other facets of your life too.
When you let go of a problem, a goof, a project, a chore or a puzzle; The answer will come to you, perhaps not as you had envisioned it, but as is should be.
Sometimes the answer comes as an AHA moment. You will know the solution.
Learning to Let Go can lead you to an amazing life.
Ancient wisdom teaches that what we resist we get.ARTArticleKnowing Your Strengths and WeaknessesI sat among a pile of papers and cried.
Everywhere I looked, I saw more work to do, and the longer I looked at it, the more overwhelmed I became. Finally, I burst into tears. “Why can’t I just figure out a system for all of this paper?” I said to myself. Here I was, an intelligent woman, and I could not figure out how to set up a filing system. I felt stupid.
Really stupid.
So I got up and tried again. And again. And again. Each time I attempted to set up a new system, something wouldn’t work, something I hadn’t thought of, and I’d have to start all over again.ARTArticleLane Changing ThoughtsI was contemplating what could I write that would reach people and help them to get them started toward the path of life that best suits them and those connected to them.
Here is what came to me,
“When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable”
When we meet others and purpose is sensed it says without words, “this is what I am about and anything different is not where I am going”. That person’s sense of purpose causes us to respect their time, possessions, and their attention. We may even want to be associated with them because we ache for our own purpose.ARTArticleLaw of Attraction, Synchronicity or Just Good Old Fashioned Intuition?This is worth it's weight in reading!
Those of you who read May's newsletter would know that spirit had been warning me that I was listening to my ipod too much on more than one occasion, & that eventually I lost my ipod! Becasue I wasn't heeding the message. (For those that want to read the whole story it is published on my blog at www.transcendentaltemple.co.uk & titled "a walk on the dark side".)
Well what happened then was incredible, situations manifested in my life that forced me to listen to spirit really carefully & take full responsibility.ARTArticleLead Generation Strategies for Healthcare Consultants (and other professionals)Q: What are the most effective lead generation strategies for health care consulting companies?
Dr. Kennedy Ononaeker
Managing Consultant and CEO, Winning Edge Consulting, Ltd.
Lagos, Nigeria
A: Most, if not all, business managers in the service industry are wondering the same thing. We all want to attract more new clients to our businesses, but are unsure of the most effective strategies for lead generation. And who has time to waste on ineffective marketing?ARTArticleLeaders Are Accountable“Everyone has a boss…,” from the President of the United States, to the assembly line worker in a factory. Leadership and accountability go hand-in-hand, you can’t have one without the other, in fact, leadership without accountability is akin to a dictatorship; accountability without leadership is extremely frustrating at best or an exercise in futility at worst.ARTArticleLeaders Are ConsistentThe leader of an organization is the standard bearer for what “right” looks like. He would not be in a position of leadership if he did not represent what the organization values and, presumably, wants more of. Naturally, followers seek to emulate the leader because of the prominent position she holds. However, what happens to an organization if, behind the scenes, the leader is a bad example of what the organization is about? What if the leader shines in front of his superiors yet treats his subordinates badly?ARTArticleLeaders Are ReadersLeaders have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge; they have to know; they have to learn; they have to get as much information as possible. Leaders seek to learn from the experiences of other people to include those captured in the form of biographies, autobiographies, organizational histories, and life stories. Leaders want to know how other leaders have fared in their leadership journey; how they thought; what they did; what they learned…they want to constructively use other leaders’ life experience as a model to live by…a model to learn from.ARTArticleLeaders Are ResponsiveGood leaders must possess the ability to effectively communicate to superiors, subordinates, and peers. Responsive leaders must not only be able to communicate effectively, they must be able to communicate in a timely manner with clear purpose and intent.ARTArticleLeaders Are Single-mindedWhat does it mean to be single-minded? How does single-mindedness look? Single-mindedness is the relentless pursuit of a goal, objective or end state. To become single-minded, the leader must make a decision to focus on only one thing, to the exclusion of everything else – one idea, one project, one goal, one end state. Everything else is secondary to the pursuit of this goal or objective.ARTArticleLeaders Are Students of LeadershipLeadership is about growth and development, if you are not growing and developing on a continuous basis, you are simply not working hard enough. Leading is like being a student in a laboratory; every day you should conduct experiments to see what works and what doesn’t. After trying your hand at leading, you go back to the drawing board to tweak your style and approach. Students are constantly challenged to look for new ideas and to develop fresh thinking. The key is to keep learning.ARTArticleLeaders Care!Ultimately, a leader who shows that he cares is good for the organization. Some critics may write this off as being touchy-feely, but people are people and an organization is made up of many, many emotional people.
A leader has to find a way to show his followers that he cares about them. In fact, showing that you care about your followers is not only necessary, it’s a requirement. Followers don’t really care about how much you know, until they know how much you care.ARTArticleLeaders Conduct After Action ReviewsLeaders are responsible for producing outcomes and getting favorable results; sometimes the results are good, other times the results are not so good. Whether the results are positive or negative, a leader’s objective is to continuously improve organizational performance over time. One way to do this is through reviewing an organizations’ current performance in order to inform and shape its future performance. One way to improve performance is to capture it, review it, and then to share it with your team.ARTArticleLeaders Fight for Their Creative VisionI recently watched the movie, “Saving Mr. Banks,” a Walt Disney film that shows the process that Walt and Mrs. P.L. Travers used in creating the movie “Mary Poppins.”
The thing that stood out to me the most is that the creative process is messy, yet, it’s full of joy and happiness. The creative process is frustrating and rife with obstacles and barriers, yet, it’s inspiring and uplifting, as well. There is constant starting, stopping, redoing, and editing that drives you mad, yet, it’s collaborative and spirited.ARTArticleLeaders Follow ThroughLeaders are responsible for making things happen, on-time and as scheduled. Superiors and subordinates don’t want excuses from their leaders, they want results.
When a leader makes a commitment to complete a task or accomplish a mission, follow-through is the guarantee that he provides to all stakeholders that gives them the confidence to believe that the job will get done properly.ARTArticleLeaders Recognize That Leading is A GiftLeadership is a privilege reserved for those who are ready for the awesome responsibility of training, developing, mentoring, guiding, and correcting the people who are under their charge. The task of leadership offers long hours, lots of hard work, frustration, setbacks, and obstacles…leadership is not easy, yet like anything else you get out of it what you put into it.ARTArticleLeaders Think IntegrationOrganizational Environment
Today, large organizations are extremely complex and busier than ever. Because of their size, they face greater challenges, such as increasing competition and an increasingly global environment to operate in. To consistently produce outstanding results, organizations must overcome the challenge of figuring out how to capitalize on the full talent, skill, and ability of its workforce.ARTArticleLeaders Think!The most important skill a leader possesses is the ability to think. Remember, when you were a student in school, your teacher always told you to put your “thinking cap” on? It’s still true; leaders must always have their thinking caps on to operate at their highest level.
Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company and the thinker credited with creating the first manufacturing assembly line said, “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”ARTArticleLeadership Determines ResultsEver wondered why some companies, large or small can deliver consistent growth and positive, forecast results in good times and bad? So many companies ride the roller coaster of economic vagaries, and the published results are like a camouflaged list of excuses, especially when the economy is slow or there is an event in a geography.
I recently saw a distributor use the excuse of a natural disaster, in one of their geographic markets, to explain their poor results. The truth was, if you looked carefully into their results this area showed growth! Why?
