The 'R' Word
In order to survive or even thrive facing today’s economic conditions, which may even see gas prices hit five dollars a gallon, it will require sticking to the basic principles of running a well managed business.

It Can Get Lonely at the Top
Being a President, CEO or the owner of a company can get lonely at times. This is true even if you are an excellent leader and have developed a top notch executive staff. Often times you face decisions, challenges or even just thoughts that you can't even divulge to your most trusted employee. Some CEOs use executive coaches to help them during these times. Often it is just affirmation and validation of one's own thinking but it is important to have that outlet.

Think Like Dr Phil and Maximize Your Sales
Becoming a total solution provider means everybody has a role to play in the process. It's about finding the customer's pain. What are the real rules of engagement with the customer? Make no mistake... The customer sets those rules and it's really not about what you are selling. It's about what the customer is buying. Let me put it in perspective using an analogy from Tom Winninger - Americas Marketing Strategist.

Other People's Stuff in Your Info Product
It was 1995 and there we were: me, my girlfriend of one year (who is now my wife), and my parents all snowed in at my parents' home. A blizzard had struck suddenly, and we were stuck in D.C. for an extra two days, unable to fly out. Unable to do anything, really, except be stuck together. Luckily, we had a great time together. We shoveled snow, drank tea, and laughed a lot. But, can you imagine if that had happened the year before on our very first date, when we didn't know each other at all? A first date snowed in for four days with your date and your parents?

Standards for Life Coach Certification
What determines human behavior? There is not a Life Coach or for that matter a psychologist, psychiatrist or physician who can definitively answer this question yet this is the most fundamental question if you wish to initiate permanent behavior change.

Leadership ---- Are You Giving Back?
We often talk about coaching and mentoring being key ingredients to effective leadership. Two thoughts come to my mind every time I hear the words --- coach and mentor. My first thought is that it is very rare for any organization to provide actual training on how to coach or mentor employees. It is often left up to the individual as a leader to figure that out. My second thought is the realization that most of our actions toward our employees come naturally as a result of the kind of leadership model we have personally created.

Never Write A 'Thank You' Letter Again
When I was in graduate school, I had a friend who interviewed at fortune 500 companies and succeeded at landing a great job. One day, I saw him sitting in the student union with a stack of cards. The cards said 'thank you'. He opened each card and signed his name. The inside of the card was blank. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that it was important to send a 'thank you' to every person you interviewed with. He believed that that was the difference between getting the job and being passed over.
