What is your definition of a hero? Do you think children today have a different perception of what a hero is? Is being a hero the same as being a role model? Who did you use to look up to or aspire to be? Has this changed for children today?
On-line vs face to face business
It is said that we make judgements on the people we meet within the first 5-15 secs of setting eyes on them. First impressions mean a great deal in most situations and in business, perhaps more.
How much of your business interactions have been a success through meeting the ‘right’ person and having a good connection with them? How many of your business acquaintances can you recall having almost an instant positive vibe or feeling about on your first meeting?
Getting Passionate
Passion and success. It is everywhere: blogs and tweets and magazine articles are full of people who are passionate about life. It is engaging and inspiring. It is life-changing. Some of these passionate people are also business people. Successful business people. Some people in business are the definition of passionate and successful.
So what's it all about? Do people who are naturally passionate create success in their businesses regardless? Surely it is not just enough to be passionate about something that you are able to turn it into a successful business? Does the same passion/success combination apply to life as well as to business?
Summer Stress
Beating ‘Summer Stress’- holidays with the kids, holidays in general, for some a downturn in business and surprisingly the list goes on. But can there be too much of looking for the problem in things? Summer Stress. Seriously? Surely if there is any time of the year to concentrate on lightness of being, good health, enjoyment and stress-free living, now is the time! Grab those random sunny days by the throat and soak up the goodness.
Personal Management
While I am not trained in Business Coaching, I find that many of the questions I ask of my personal clients are questions that are applicable within their business and are effective in not only helping with personal clarity but also clarity in the way they approach aspects of their business. So am I a Business Coach? No. But by looking into how effective you are as an individual, you can get an insight into how effective your business is.
Well-Being Fatigue
Often good stuff stops because it gets too hard to change. If you feel you want to stop exercising, stop eating healthily, stop giving to charity, stop being organised, stop having family time, stop recycling, stop your organic vegetable delivery, stop being politically aware and just go and curl up in a ball somewhere, then you are clearly suffering from well-being fatigue.
