Is Your Leadership Role in Jeopardy? Take Control!
How can you tell if your leadership position may be in jeopardy or you may be at risk of losing that position? There are four signs that typically show up when someone’s role is danger of being eliminated or replaced. First, you may begin to notice that you are being excluded from things where you once were included. For example, there may be project teams or strategic planning meetings you once were normally a part of and now you are not invited to these meetings or perhaps finding out about them after the fact.

To Reach Your Career Objectives, Start With Meaningful Goals
I recently heard a quote on the local news that indicated that less than 10% of Americans who make New Year's resolutions actually keep them. And what was even more surprising is that, for those who make resolutions, the majority have given up on them by January 20. It takes less than one month to give up on what we set out to achieve on January 1.

They do not sit around and wait for the next opportunity to arise or for someone to tell them what they need to do. Instead, they grab hold of their own ideas and passions and build their most successful career. So, what exactly do they do?

Career Development Feedback....? or Feed-forward?
Feedback is defined as the return of information about performance, a process or an activity. Whether we like to receive it or not, feedback is an essential part of career development. If you don't know how you've been doing, how will you know where you need to improve, grow and develop? Feedback is a look backward - it is the review of what has been done; yet, the most important factor in receiving this information is to determine what you will do with it moving forward.

The Power of Gratitude
I've been thinking a lot about gratitude. I am a firm believe in the concept of, "you get what you give" and have seen it play out in my life (and the lives of others) on a regular basis. In everything we do and say in our lives, we are emitting energetic vibrations and those frequencies that we emit come back to us in the same fashion. (Some refer to it as karma). Therefore, being kind and loving will bring that back to you, as will being angry and frustrated. The more angry and frustrated you are, the more you experience things around you that are frustrating and make you angry.

Being Versus Doing
At the start of a New Year many of us are thinking about New Year’s resolutions or, what we want to “do” in the coming year. Being a goal-oriented person, I set annual goals every year, which I’m pretty good about accomplishing. Since it’s the start of the year, I’ve been thinking about what I want to achieve in 2013 and, as I always do, I sat down and started my list of things to accomplish this year. As I was doing that, I realized I wanted this year to be more about who I will be than what I will “do”.

Leadership Challenge: Letting Go Of Control; Three Steps to Help You Master the Art of Delegation.
One of the great opportunities of leadership is the delegation of tasks to others, which not only frees up your time to be more strategic but also develops those employees to whom you’ve delegated. Although it is a great opportunity for leaders, it is also a great challenge. Delegating means letting go of a fair amount of, if not all of, the control associated with the way tasks are completed. I find this to be a struggle for many leaders, myself included. As the owner of my business, I find that letting go of tasks and delegating to others can be quite a challenge at times.

Show Your Passion, Advance Your Career.
Passion is defined as a strong emotion or feeling about something, or, a burst of strong emotions. We all are passionate about things in our lives: our family, children, hobbies and, hopefully our careers. I recently read the book The Corner Office by Adam Bryant. The book captures the thoughts of numerous CEOs in many different industries. Specifically, it is about how they not only advanced their own careers to that top spot but also what they look for in hiring people and promoting people inside their organizations.

This is a great ritual that keeps many of us focused on what we want to accomplish in the coming year. In addition to this, it’s also important to take time to look back at past accomplishments -- to celebrate the success of what we’ve achieved.

Feeling Overwhelmed and Overworked? How to Regain Control Over Your Time and Tasks.
Lately I’ve been hearing heard a common theme amongst many of the senior leaders I coach and that is: they are tired, frustrated, overwhelmed and overworked. Maybe it’s the time of year but many of these leaders feel they have little control over how they spend and manage their time since they are regularly responding to “urgent requests” from their executive leadership team. And, more often than not, these requests are not something they can delegate to their direct reports. As you may be able to understand, they are in fire-fighting mode more often than they want (or need) to be.
