How do you handle an issue with your neighbor?
Posted by: | CommentsDo you have an issue with one of your neighbors that is causing you to
not speak with them or avoid them? If so may I suggest you experience the difference between confronting vs “carefronting”.
Confronting is attacking the person and possibly leaving dead bodies. Carefronting is caring enough to talk about the delicate subjects.
Release assuming or making judgments. Go to the source instead of believing rumors. Stop the gossip and talk with the person who can do
something about it instead of everyone else who can not change the situation.
Treat people with dignity and respect. Make the person and the relationship more important then the property or issue.
What neighbor stories do you have?
Can a kitten can change your life?

Kristine with kitty around age 5
Are they both cute or what? Would you ever consider being cruel or harsh to these two pretties? Kristine, a recent graduate of our seminar, Move Into Your Greatness shared this picture with me because I had asked her who treated you with TUL, Total Unconditional Love? She said my kitty in this picture.
Unfortunately more people have received safe, unconditional love from a pet than they have people. Is this true of you?
What are some of your favorite TUL moments you have had with a pet? What about a TUL time with a person? Would love to hear your stories.
Getting and giving the kind of love you need and want is really very simple. When it is genuine and real it fills the soul with all the ingredients to brighten a person’s day.
So give TUL to someone today and watch what happens!
Leadership
Posted by: | CommentsWhat qualities make up and effective leader?
There are numerous leadership styles, what works for you?
All leaders want to make a difference and be transformational. Some do and some really don’t. We’ve all known leaders that are easily replaced and forgettable, and hopefully we’ve known some that we can’t imagine doing without.
The difference begins with the bond we create by integrating who we are with what we do. Making a difference has a lot to do with how completely we integrate what we are (our character, values and attitudes) with what we do.
All leaders set direction, give orders, and display competence within their world. But if that’s all they’re doing, they’re expendable. What sets one leader apart from another? What makes them compelling rather than coercive? Is the kind of spirit that accompanies their actions a compelling what can I get from them approach or a slave type what can I give them approach. Either way, what makes us take notice is their authenticity or their uniqueness and effectiveness. Are they being themselves or are they trying to be something they’re not?
It is in the visible and tangible world that our unseen inner world is demonstrated. When we integrate our whole being, we create the potential for a deep meaning in our work, trust in those we lead and work with, and we establish our distinctiveness as a leader.
So what type of leader are you?
Anyone can display leadership qualities but it is how you utilize these qualities that makes you an unique and effective leader. Unique leaders are more captivating and seem more sincere.
We can always improve on our leadership skills and continue to grow.
