Is Your Personality Useful?

It is undeniable that we are engulfed in a rapidly changing world, both local and global. The world is changing and like it or not you are a part of it. At any point of your journey it is useful to reflect on where you are, where you have been and where you wish to be. Are you where you want to be? Is your life where you want it to be? Are your relationships where you would like them…

Angry Enough?

Many of us in this politically correct world are trained to believe that anger is a negative emotion. It is something to be denied or at least suppressed or ignored. We were taught to hide it from others and worst still, from ourselves. Anger is seen to be a weakness and in some respects that could be correct. Consider the two perspectives of anger, the one that is reactive to outside sources and the other a considered expression of repulsion. Let’s…

Aging is an option when you are passionate

I was chatting with a group of friends this past weekend around the topic of what makes individual people’s impact so different. In this context I reflected back a couple of years to an event that made a significant impression on me in this context. I attended the Rolling Stone’s Australia tour performance in the Hunter Valley, NSW and oh, what a show. 20,000 people of all ages and generations rocked to the music that these 70 plus year old…

New YearQuadrant 1Your Life

Will you beat the odds in 2017?

With the turning of the clock into a New Year it gives you a time to integrate the learning from the year behind and project forward into what might be in the year ahead. Creative visioning is probably more common at this time of year than at any other as we all get into the swing of the New Year and romance the possibilities that lie ahead. If you are like most people you will have experienced making great resolutions…

Change for Good – Breaking Habits

I wanted to continue on from where we left off last time in our observation of how it is that we create what we create in the course of a year. If you are like most people there are areas in your life where you are not where you thought you would be by now. You may have dropped the ball when some circumstances occurred. It may have been something good. It seems strange that things being easy can cause…

Change for Good – Create plans for 2017

With the end of the year fast approaching I am sure that you are hearing others (and maybe yourself) saying – “OMG, where did the year go?” Quite a valid question, I would say. Are you where you thought you would be by this December when 2016 began? How does your reality line up with the reality that you imagined at the beginning of the year? Have your plans resulted in the outcomes that you set 12 months ago? Take…

Balancein8model® UpdatesYour Life

Balance is Everywhere and Nowhere

I constantly hear from people that they are seeking balance in their life, their home, business, practice, team etc. Much time and energy is spent trying to bring life into balance and yet all too often this quest is not accomplished. Maybe our perception of balance has a missing component to it. I suggest that the thing that gives balance its form is time. We could say, in the middle of the night that there is no light and that…

Stress and Neuroplasticity – Become Flexible and Adaptable

If you have been observing your in8model® pattern over time you will have seen its ever-changing presentation. Every significant occasion of your life enables more neuroplasticity or adaptability of your brain’s wiring. This reminds me of a story of the emerging butterfly. One day, a small opening appeared on a cocoon. A man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seemed to stop making any…

Eating Elephants

There are many obstacles that stand in your way of being able to empower those in your circle of influence. Sometimes that task seems so huge that it even seems fruitless to start. The social group-think machine of limitation is so pervasive and it has spread its tentacles into every corner of people’s minds. Regardless of your individual role in life you are in the business of getting along with others and shifting others perspective to another viewpoint. Whether you…
