Seven Characteristics of an Authentic Leader

Being an authentic leader is a cornerstone of building a spiritually intelligent workplace. To be authentic is to be real, to be genuine. If we consider that the opposite of authentic is phony or fake, then most people would vote for authenticity. It's like a counterfeit coin, which doesn't buy us anything once it is discovered, whereas an authentic coin is highly valuable.

How to Forgive Your Mother’s Betrayal: So You Can Truly Stand in Your Power

My mother died in 1995. As many do after someone dies, I put her up on a pedestal. It’s only now, fourteen years later, that I have begun to look at the affect the unhealed parts of our relationship have had on me and the unanswered questions they have left for me. Would we have resolved our issues had she lived? Would I have been able to stand forth in my own feminine power with her big personality hovering over me? Could I have forgiven my judgments of her? My mother loved me. This was never in question. She was controlling. I’m sure she thought it was for my own good.

Get Gossip Out of Your Life

Gossiping can suck the zest out of your spirit. Gossip is mean-spirited and little-minded; its goal is to make the gossipers feel superior to the gossiped-about. It is seductive, addictive and a way of bonding with other gossipers, all while pulling you down to the lowest spiritual common denominator. Gently observe your interactions with others, and catch yourself if you feel you are getting sucked into gossip. What Is Gossip? Let's define what gossip is and is not.

The Three Steps to Forgive and Finally be Free

Choose Love Despite the Fear

There are only two basic human emotions, love and fear. All other emotions are variations on these two archetypal themes. Of the two, which emotion have we seen at work in our economy over the past several months? Of course, the answer is fear. When I worked in the securities industry years ago, we had a saying that markets are driven by fear and greed. Greed is the operative that fuels run-ups in the markets as investors try to make a buck (or a euro, in this global economy).

It's Time to Forgive

The healing power of forgiveness is like nothing you've experienced before. What most people don't understand is that when they forgive, really forgive, they actually set themselves free.

Forgiveness - The Right Time is Up to You

What Is This Thing Called Forgiveness?

The nation looks on in horror at the interminable orgy of true confessions from Governor Sanford -- voluntarily decimating his political career by bogarting a spotlight rightfully passed to recently departed celebrities. Any psychologically aware person must ask: Why? Were the constraints of being in a suffocatingly correct marriage so painful that poor Governor Sanford had to process his feelings with the only safe people he knew -- reporters and the press?

Stop playing the victim’s role. Release others and FORGIVE your Self.

Forgiveness gives me the power to be in control of my feelings and find my way to happiness.

Many people think that is very hard to forgive, and yes, it is hard if you think that way. Some of the excuses for not forgiving are 1) we are very angry with the person w

Family Dysfunction, Festivities, and The Power of Forgiveness

Holidays are meant to be happy, joyous and life-affirming times. Filled with joy and gratitude we return home to our families, fill our bellies with delicious food and our hearts with cheer. Right? Well, truth be told that in most cases this just isn’t true. Instead of happiness, anger brews. Instead of joy, tolerance rules. Instead of gratitude, resentment surfaces.

We don’t often think about forgiveness in a business context. It’s usually not in our vocabulary at work. But it needs to be. Forgiveness at work creates a healthier work climate or environment and creates many other real benefits. It is not a touchy-feely, hold-hands-and-sing-Kumbaya gimmick. Forgiveness in the workplace is good business. It is important to define forgiveness at work.

The Selfish Act Of Forgiveness

Often when we think of forgiveness we think of letting someone, "getting away" with something or, "getting off scott-free". Forgiveness is not about ignoring the fact we were hurt. It is not about setting yourself up to get hurt again. Forgiveness is not reconciliation or changing your mind about what is best for you. Forgiveness is not even something we do to enhance the life of another. It is, in one sense, a very selfish act. A wise man once said, "Resentment is a poison

Questions to Ask Yourself After Forgiving

Forgiving doesn't mean that you have to be best friends with - or married to - the person who hurt you. It simply means that you have reached a feeling of peace about the person or situation and have discharged your anger or resentment. The decision to take action after someone has hurt you is always a better one if you can wait until you have forgiven, at least in part. This is because your heart and mind are clear of dark emotions that dim your decision-making ability. So, you've gone through the process to forgive and have released much of your lingering anger and resentment.

Forgiveness is Good for You!

Forgiveness is like eating chicken soup for whatever ails you – it helps you feel better all over. You forgive others to help yourself – not to help the other person. Surprised? In my definition of forgiveness, the goal is to attain a feeling of peace toward a person who has harmed you. Forgiveness is like letting yourself out of jail – you release the hateful, vengeful thoughts that imprison you and make you feel bad every time you remember the hurtful incident. So if forgiveness is like chicken soup, what are the results of enjoying a steaming, savory bowl of the stuff?
