Living on the Edge

Life and business can feel like a series of high wire trapeze swings. Imagine yourself either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments at a time hurtling through space in between the trapeze bars. Most of the time we are tightly hanging on to our trapeze-bar-of-the-moment. It carries you along at a certain steady rate of swing and you have the feeling that you’re in control of your life.

Leading with Style

Its often thought that a leader must be a certain style to be effective.

Which Way to Move – Part 1

Have you paid attention to the way in which you move? Now, I don’t mean the way you move your hips or the graceful movement of your hand gestures when you are talking. I mean the DIRECTION that you move your thinking. There are two ways that you can move on any issue – TOWARDS what you want or AWAY from what you don’t want. In other words, do you move towards the carrot achieving something or the stick of…
