Come to work as our favorite characters
Come to work as our favorite characters We each have that inner voice that calls to us, telling us how the state of our affairs is progressing. Sometimes that voice echoes of wisdom and sound planning. Other times we are gambling with just working the pencil sharpener. Each of us tends to be drawn to certain animated characters more than others in life. Occasionally those character traits leak out, and others are able to gain a glimpse into our secret worlds. We all have character traits that seem odd and puzzling to others, yet to ourselves, they seem quite normal. I have a friend whose character traits of Darth Vader…
Goals – Removing Obstacles
Goals Where are you in alignment with your goals? Are you at the bottom, midway, or almost to the top? Maybe you have reached that goal.

An unfortunate turn for students attending college or a university is locking horns with a tenured professor who has not worked in the…
The Power of Words
The Power of Words The words we choose to get our point across can be mighty in their delivery or conveyed in the simplest of form. Whether mighty or simple it’s the actions behind those words that make them effective or ineffective. Words are meant to convey something or prompt action. Those words could be power selling, resume words, inspirational words, words that hurt, mind blowing words, healing, moral, ethical, or inspiring words, etc. When we combine lists of power words with the use of social media in the work place, who benefits the most from their usage? This is a question that a lot of organizations struggle with today.…
The Way Forward Starts Here – What Went Right
The Way Forward Starts Here – What Went Right The title would better read “the way forward starts with you”. We often find ourselves bewitched with words. As Sigmund Freud once stated in a lecture in psychoanalysis in 1915 “Words were originally magic and to this day words have retained much of their ancient magical power”. With just a simple twist of words, we can motivate or provoke a person or group of people into action. If you add a list of positives words into your speech, over a short amount of time you will begin to see the subtle hints of change in the attitudes and behavior of others…
