Many times we don’t know what’s next for us, and there is a very good reason…we did not plan for anything to be next. You may see this in a sort of strange way, but if you think about it…it’s true. The only way to have anything next in your life, you must prepare for…
When you think of resources, what comes to mind? How about cash or equipment like computers, hardware or software. Those are resources and they are resources that we need and use daily in our lives. With the exception of convenience and time the aforementioned items are a standard in society today. Now there are…
So, how’s your word stack? Many of us that are in business and some of us that aren’t don’t realize how important it is to have your stack together. I’m talking about lining up words to literally make sense (your word stack). It doesn’t matter what the conversation is about. I get it…all conversation isn’t…
In Toastmasters we do 2 minute speeches (Table Topics). They’re off the cuff talks. This is a great way to be creative and prepare to speak on unexpected topics. It will also serve you in your area of expertise…you just have to be innovative with your thinking, so that you’d know how to bounce back.…

Let’s face it…to some degree we’re all still growing, but are you able to monitor yourself or assess yourself honestly and accurately? I think many of us think we can, but may have a problem hitting the nail on the head. That question brings me to today’s topic. Are you coachable? When you’re starting a…
Facing the facts and the truth of a matter is hardly the same. We use words so loosely that in many situations we have entire conversations about what was intended tom be said or expressed versus the actual point. I understand that every daily engagement shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be about business, but to…
We’ve all heard the commentary / conversation about the difference between the journey and the destination. Many of us including me are striving for this particular level of success in life! For some of us it’s about money, for others it can be about status. I’d like to think that although both are fair game…
It seems that sound advice is always good, simply because it’s sound. A good idea is simply good if it’s also good. When you attach anything good to someone who is cruel, insensitive and has a lack of compassion…well the sound advice and the good idea from that person suddenly seems worthless. It’s not always…
