    Often our clients refer someone to us for Executive Coaching with a glowing description such as "This is one of our most valued and brilliant employees ….

  9. The Best Things in Life Are Rarely Things By Greg Reid
    Have you ever noticed this to be true?The best things in life for me are those things are not things at all. People and experiences make the biggest mark: a wonderful relationship, time with family, or a fantastic vacation that stays in my mind for years.It seems funny to me that we spend so much time on this planet chasing “things” that we lose focus on what matters most. I mean, what’s the point of having that fantastic new home if you sleep in it all alone? Or drive the nicest of cars but a…


  10. Automatic Brain Works Overtime For You By Andrew Abernathy
    Use all of your brain to be your most effective."Running on Automatic" is what I call the ability to visualize what you need to have happen. Automatic because the part of your brain that gives us most of our solutions is working all the time. When you are asleep or not. Most of us call it our subconscience.

  12. Do You Mind If Someone Screams At You? By Lora J Adrianse
    A headhunter was on the other end of the phone. He was looking for an assistant to a CEO/Owner for a small, but very successful business. Essentially, he wanted someone at his disposal night and day. That didn't seem like a huge deal. And then the next question came..."Do you mind if someone screams at you?" As soon as I could get past the sirens going off in my head, and visions of Dilbert comic strips, I replied, "Yes, that's not acceptable". The headhunter continued, "Well, he probably woul…

  15. Take a Chance, Win a Prize By Damien Senn
    I think that we're all probably familiar with the fairground rant 'take a chance, win a prize'. Whenever I hear this call to action, I immediately break out into a cold sweat. Whether the test is to knock down 6 cans in pyramid formation or to throw a dart at a balloon, I'm there, almost hypnotically, pulling coins out of my pocket. And it doesn't really matter what prizes are on offer either. It could be stuffed panda bears, bubble makers or even Velcro wallets. What's important to me is ris…


  16. The Power of Online Memberships By Andrea J. Lee
    Have you ever noticed geese flying overhead, whether that be south for the winter, or back home in the spring?  In Canada where I live, this is a regular sight and a sure sign of the seasons passing.

  18. Communication: Understanding The Non-Verbal Art Form Of Body Language By Kurt Hurley
    "He, who knows, does not speak. He, who speaks, does not know." -Lao TzuFundamentally, communication is expressed in verbal form. The conveyor, or he or she that is expressing, talks or writes while the recipient listens to or reads the transfer. However, there is another form of communication based on gestures or body movements.

  19. Help! I Need to Make a Decision! By Garrett Coan
    Many people who come to my office say they have a difficult time making decisions. I have developed a process to help my clients master this skill. I recommend that people follow these four steps:1. Identify the real issue. For example, you are trying to decide which movie to see, but you are having a hard time agreeing. As you talk about it, you realize that the real issue is that you simply want some time to be together in a quiet place where you can talk. Going to a movie does not address t…


  20. Poise, Posture, and Performance By Roy Palmer
    Good posture is seen to have many advantages. From an aesthetic point of view it can enhance image, sending out the right signals (body language). For an athlete it is seen to be essential. But what is a good posture? We recognise poor posture when we see it, as it is evident in the majority of adults regardless of athletic ability. But just to confuse the matter, people with an ideal ‘plumb-line’ posture can also have poor movement patterns. This is because it is not the shape that is importa…
