Want to Change Your Boss? Here's what to do...

, , ,

One of the most common questions I hear during mentoring sessions is some version of “How can I change the way my boss…

  • Talks to me”

, , , , , ,

When we take actions that create a path for our dreams to follow, it’s like the dream takes a deep sigh of relief and says, “Finally! I’ve been waiting for you to let me in”

YES!! It's time to stop saying "no"!

, , , ,

Yep, we say “no” far more than we realize. Sometimes it's direct, most of the time it sounds like “I’m not ready to…”, “I wish…”, or “When I’ve…”

Here's why it's time to Stop Saying "no"!!...

The Power of AND!

, , ,

And, when we replace the words “but” or “however” with “and”… something magical happens. People become less defensive, resistant, and frustrated.

Is Your Cell Phone Damaging Your Career?

In this rushed and hyper-connected world we live in, one of the biggest compliments you can give someone is to engage in the moment.
