Employer Issue Part 2
Posted by: | Comments(cont.)
When the woman went back to work, her employer and critiques at work saw a peace and calmness in her. Her employer and her had been having a relationship (unbeknownst to her boyfriend) and she was now in a new dilemma with chaos – how can she gratefully cut off the unhealthy relationship and still work with him?
Instead of falling back into her old behaviors of ignoring the situation, she chose to “carefront” him (as opposed to confronting). A two hour conference call was set up and we walked through the issues at hand. She disclosed information about her past and set healthy boundaries between the two of them. She walked away with closure of the old relationship and continued in a new business relationship.

Family Business Part 2
Posted by: | Comments(continued…)
In order for John to begin to move forward, we needed to create a feeling of safety in order for him to be able to open up to his wife and tell her the truth of the situation and also his true feelings. He was worried because he had never shared his feeling with her before and he did not know how she would respond. I let him know there was a higher percentage of her understanding if he would share the truth versus faking it.
I had him chose to focus on the outcome and to disclose information whether it was good or bad. John wanted his spouse to “get it” and needed to ask her if she had a better idea of if she would support him.
After facilitating a conversation with the two of them, John opened up to his wife and began to work on communication with her and to build a new relationship. John attended the seminar and learned tools that helped him communicate much more effectively and found that people began to respond to him differently because he showed up in a brand new way!

Is today your day?
Posted by: | CommentsWhat one step will you take today that will move you into your greatness?
This can be a simple step that typically you would blow off as no big deal. The reality is any step can get momentum going. If you are one of those people who’s expectations are so big that you demand big results then go ahead and take that bigger step. Caution – don’t make it so big that you defeat yourself right out of the gate.
Are you the kind of person who has a hard time getting started, following through or finishing what you have started?
Momentum comes as you recognize what type of person you are and building a support system of action steps and people to help you do what is you are not best at.
If you know you are lazy and have a hard time getting started, make a game out of jump starting yourself into action by saying to yourself, I will take 10 minutes now to write down my game plan. These 10 minutes focus on the task at hand and watch what it does for your progress. Leaders who communicate effectively do so by overcoming what they do not like to do making it something they are willing to do to accomplish the task
You can do that for yourself because you have what it takes to move into your greatness. You say how? Well each time you are thinking I do not want to change your eating habits, ask yourself what one thing can you do?
For me over the holidays I have removed the crust from the back of my pie saving 100 calories.
Take the next step do it with grace and ease.
