Jill Bolte Taylor's Stroke of Insight

Building Personal Strength

Most people don't even know what a stroke is. In case you're not sure, I'll tell you. When the blood supply is cut off to a part of the brain, which can happen if a blood vessel bursts, brain function in that area can be disrupted, which can cause parts of the brain to stop functioning, permanent brain damage, and even death. If you don't die from it, the damage can change the way your brain makes sense of reality, which of course changes who you are.

SELF-CONFIDENCE - Believe in Yourself!

Billions of Dollars Wasted on Training That Doesn't Work

No Ego: How Leaders Can Cut the Cost of Drama, End Entitlement and Drive Big Results

Speaker: Cy Wakeman, M.S., CSP, President, Reality-Based Leadership

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

COACH K - ON LEADERSHIP

Building Personal Strength

Having read over 200 books on leadership, I prefer a book not by someone who has thought well about leadership, but someone who has actually been a successful leader. If John Wooden's book on leadership is my favorite, Mike Krzyzewski's book, Leading with the Heart is a close second. Coach K and I were cadets at West Point at the same time. He was in the class of 1969, two classes after me, so even though we were assigned to the same cadet regiment, I remember him mainly from what he did on the
