Building Personal Strength

The words responsibility and accountability are often used interchangeably. In fact, they are closely related.

Building Personal Strength

So what makes the difference? What is the magic that transforms an everyday event into a lesson learned? The key is to reflect on what happened. Research has shown that adults learn from an experience when they think about it afterwards.

OPTIMISM - Glass Over-flowing

Building Personal Strength

I recently posted a video of Jack Canfield talking about optimism. Optimism doesn't mean banishing negative thoughts. It means that when "stuff happens," you bring the positive considerations into the equation, so you see both the positives and the negatives - a true, balanced view of reality.

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.
