Are You a Leader?

Women's Leadership Exchange

I awoke early this morning my head singing the hit song"Tonight's going to be a good night." A strange song to awaken me, yet a good one.a good good one. I internalize it as meaning "today's going to be a good day." I get up with a smile, do my affirmation for the day and then notice the book "True Prosperity"by Yehuda Berg from the series "Kabbalah and Business".

What Has Happened to Our Conviction?

Steve Farber

I don’t know how I’ve missed him; he’s just never popped up on my radar screen–until just a couple of days ago when my wife showed me this YouTube video. Taylor Mali is not just a poet, he’s a full-time, WORKING poet, which I had thought was a bit of an oxymoron, to say the least. More important, he’s a major force in the poetry slam movement (a movement that’s generated some controversy–as any interesting one does), and a past-president of PSI.

Get in front of “stress”… create “balance”

Anese Cavanaugh

Years ago when I started coaching clients, I bought into the idea (for a very short snippet of time) that life could be perfectly balanced and SHOULD be perfectly balanced and that it was all about getting the “wheel of life” balanced into equal “scores” to create peace and balance in their lives. I quickly realized my thinking was WAY flawed, ditched that idea, and instead started leading the charge for the idea that if an area of one’s life was rated at a “3

Hooray Sonya and What About Evelyn Stevens?

Women's Leadership Exchange

While we are celebrating the confirmation of Sonya Sotomayor, take a moment to learn what another woman is doing. Evelyn Stevens was working her tail off on Wall Street, a venue that doesn't appreciate the contributions of women, when she opened her mind to a new possibility! She bought a bike to relieve her stress and stay fit and in little more than a year she transformed herself into a serious cyclist.

Send A Thank You Note

Eric Jacobson

Nearly all employees want to do both a good job and please their supervisor. When they succeed, send them a thank you for a job well done. A short note (handwritten is particularly good) thanking them for a good job is extremely powerful. Particularly for new employees on your team. Or, for employees new to the workforce and early in their careers. Include in your note a sentence regarding what they did especially well and how their specific action made a positive impact.

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.

Don't Take All The Credit

Eric Jacobson

Insecure managers hog the credit for a job well done. Or, they hide the credit and don't give credit where credit is due. These managers are afraid to let their employees be in the limelight. Secure and successful managers talk up their employees, highlighting the good performance they've done, and are eager to give credit where credit is due. They promote their staff to their supervisor and to others within their organization.
