A Maze of Problems!
A Model for Getting Unstuck and Finding Your Way to a Solution

If you’re like most people, you are probably pretty good at dealing with the regular day-to-day problems of life – especially the little, pesky, recurring ones. And you probably have a few clever ways to get around some of your avoidable problems too. And sometimes you get lucky and they just go away.

But then there’s the others... The ones that no matter how hard you try, wish, cross your fingers, avoid or procrastinate, you just can’t get rid of them. Eventually these neglected problems pile up, intertwine, and grow more complicated, until one day…they MUST be addressed.

The A to Z's of Success
Charting a Course of Personal Achievement

We all want to experience success in our lives, but perhaps the stronger desire is the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes from our success.

There are two primary benefits to success. First, there is the tangible reward that success brings, such as a garden overflowing with fruits and vegetables, a newly decorated room in your home, or a certain sum of money in your savings account.

Additionally, there is the feeling that comes from accomplishment – reaching a goal or a milestone. Experiencing success or feeling successful is more about how achieving a goal or reaching a milestone makes you feel. Perhaps your success brings a sense of excitement, renewal, wholeness, and satisfaction.

In order to create personal achievement, we need specific tools to harness both our internal and external strengths to help us COMPLETE our goals. But far too often people set out for a goal, are unequipped to finish the journey, and therefore they quit.

This powerful topic will give your participants the specific tools they need to take their goals all the way to the end, and a renewed energy and excitement to get there.

Are You Emotionally Smart?
Optimize Your EQ for Better Relationships and a More Fulfilling Life

It doesn’t take much to realize that our emotions, and our emotional state, have a great deal of influence on almost everything we say and do. But despite this truth, few people seem to be aware of their emotions at any given moment.

Much has been discovered in the past few decades on how our emotions play such a significant role in our everyday success. It may sound too simple, but by becoming more aware of our own emotional state at any given moment in time will we see a profound ripple effect on our daily interactions with people. Stated bluntly, there is little that equals the power of our emotions if only we are open to learning how to effectively recognize and use this powerful resource.

Beating Burnout
How to Refill Your Tank When Life Has You Feeling Empty

In our daily routines, our lives can become so hectic, that we fail to see the toll that these demands place on our relationships, our health, and our overall well-being. We just keep ‘pushing through’ until one task or responsibility is complete - only to have another put in its place. We rationalize that we have no choice but to complete what needs to get done regardless of how it affects us. And we ignore the warning signs that the hustle and bustle is taking on us physically, emotionally, and mentally until we find ourselves heading towards the threatening state of burnout!

That’s why recognizing the initial signs of burnout is extremely important, because it is only through awareness, acceptance and a desire to change course that we can get our lives back, have more control over how we spend our time, and stop burnout before it stops us.

While confidence is a necessary quality, so many people struggle to find it, not realizing that it naturally exists within each and every one of us. The secret to being more confident lies in your ability to better manage your mind and the doubts and fears it produces. Your conscious mind can hold only one thought at a time, so why not make it a positive one.

When we recognize this change, we also see that our perspective and how we emotionally respond to situations are a choice, then our life changes. Just imagine the possibilities that come from tapping into our own natural confidence!

Courage, Risks and Rewards
Taking Chances to Change Your Life

Life is all about choices. The decision to leap into something new and different can be both terrifying and thrilling. Taking chances always comes with feelings of apprehension, but we must remember that taking chances can also offer significant rewards.

So we must choose to take chances and create opportunities for happiness and fulfillment that, in the end, far outweigh the risks we had to take to get there. But as is the case with most things in life, even taking chances requires understanding and practice.

Destination: A New You!
How Self-Discipline is the Key to Achieving Success and Creating the Life You Want

Self-discipline is something everyone struggles with from time to time. Whether it’s losing a little weight in time for a friend’s wedding, finally finishing your book, or launching that new business, we all have dreams and goals that seem just out of reach…and the ONLY thing standing in our way is the ability to follow through and do what needs to be done.

However, life’s other priorities stand in your way - between who you are right now, and the fully-realized version of you that’s bursting at the seams to come out.

You must somehow muster the strength to focus, persevere, and keep going, no matter what.

Conflict. What do you think about when you hear that word?  How does conflict make you feel? Conflict is inevitable – it’s a normal aspect of human interaction. Conflict arises from unmet needs, unrecognized differences, and difficulties in coping with life changes and challenges. At the heart of every conflict are two people striving for something better.

The Fertile Mind
Change Your Thoughts to Reap a Better Life

We most often associate the term "fertile" with the land's ability to produce an abundant crop. The term speaks to the land's richness, its prolific nature. The same can be said of the human mind. It too, like the land, can produce an abundant harvest. Believe it or not, you can choose your thoughts and manage your mind. All of us have the natural ability to refuse any thought that does not support us, and at the same time, encourage thinking that empowers us. Again, all it takes is mind management. The mind is, after all, just as rich and prolific as the land itself. In this teleseminar you will learn about the human mind, its tremendous power and potential, and how it can and needs to be managed if we want to better our lives.

Finanical Calm
Sailing Your Way Into A Sea of Prosperity

Every year millions of people struggle to make ends meet, finding themselves falling farther and farther behind in paying off their bills. Many others just end up spending much more than they earn, making their debt situation escalate quickly to the point where financial collapse is a strong possibility if something doesn't change. Let's face it, no one wakes up one day and suddenly discovers that they have a serious debt issue. Financial problems accumulate gradually over time until the point where the debt catches up and overtakes a person, leaving them feeling helpless.

How to get out of debt and stay out is a challenging question for most people who aren't equipped with the knowledge needed to head in the direction of financial independence. Although getting out of debt isn't easy, it isn't impossible, either. Even the worst of debt problems can be turned around and fixed. No matter how grim a person's financial situation may look, there are some simple strategies that can help a person who really wants to get out of debt make this dream come true.

Finding Balance
Reclaim Your Time and Live a More Fulfilling Life

Life balance is something that many people strive for and yet, it seems to elude them. At just the moment when life feels like it’s “in balance,” something happens to throw it off. Some people continue their pursuit of balance; some throw in the towel; and others never bother with life balance in the first place.

Life balance is not a permanent or absolute state. It’s actually a state of mind where you make continuous small adjustments to achieve fulfillment. It is dynamic and elusive.

Even though absolute balance may be impossible, the good news is that you can become aware of where your life is imbalanced and take steps toward improving your balance. You possess the ability to catch your balance or to move toward a state of balance, just like you do when you misstep or lose your physical balance.

Focus on Authenticity
Seeing and Living More of Who You Really Are

What would the world be like if everyone could safely express themselves honestly, revealing who they are and what they feel? What if we didn’t have to speak, act and think as our family, friends, media and society expect?

We would be living in a world of true authenticity.

Being authentic in life is difficult because it means we have to be open and truthful with who we really are. It means we have to be conscious of our thoughts and feelings, our hopes and fears, and risk the disapproval of others when pursuing our dreams and passions.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. When we’re being more authentic we feel more connected to who we are at our core. We can avoid living a divided life where our words, choices, and actions are not in line with our true selves. We can express ourselves more fully and with more confidence.

From the Inside Out
Effective Ways to Manage Stress

We all experience stress in our lives from time to time, and we know how stress can have a very negative effect on our short and long-term health, performance, career success, and personal happiness. But believe it or not, stress can be eliminated from our lives. We will certainly always continue to experience the pressures of life, but stress isn’t pressure.  Instead, stress is how we choose to react to the pressures of life. Fortunately, stress management is a learnable skill.  The emphasis of this topic is to explore the importance of good stress management. This includes how we approach the management of stress through our actions, attitude and emotional responses, and our ways of living and coping with what cannot be resolved.

Kaleidoscope of Choices
How What You Think and Choose Colors Your Life

If you surveyed people, most would likely say that being able to choose is a good thing in life. Yet, those same people probably don’t realize the immense power behind this ability. Why? Because we often forget that every choice we make ends up forming the very circumstances of our lives. The downside to choice is that every choice comes with consequences, and sometimes those consequences can be severe. The upside to choice, though, is the simple fact that to change our lives for the better, all it takes is for us to make one positive decision at a time.each of us has a choice in what kind of life we want to live, and what type of person we wish to be. Despite our upbringing or the environment we face, our lives are shaped more from the choices we make within every moment of our life than from anything else.

The Leader's Journey
Discovering Your Leadership Impact

What is leadership? Is leadership about accomplishing goals and getting things done, or is it about engaging in meaningful relationships and nurturing people’s strengths? Is it about transmitting information and knowledge, or is it about managing action and performance? Is leadership about maintaining the status quo or initiating change?

Whether you are leading a company, a department, a team, a family, or your life – you are a leader and you have an impact on others.

Lighting Your Fire
Sparking Your Inner Motivation to Reach Your Goals and Change Your Life

We all can recall times in our lives where our motivation has ebbed and flowed. There were times when we felt a high level of motivation, when nothing could stop us from pursuing a goal or staying committed to a cause that was important to us. But also there were times when our motivation waned, our resolve felt weak, and we couldn’t seem to focus on a goal we said we really wanted.

So why is it that we can sometimes take a goal to its end, and other times it loses its flame?

The secret is to understand our own internal personal motivators, and how they tie to the goals we set. Plus there are certain "truths" about how motivation works and why it subsides. And most important of all is that within these truths there is a process for reestablishing your sense of motivation that you can use anytime to reignite the flame of a goal.

Money Wellness
Having a Healthy Perspecive on Earning, Saving and Spending Your Money

Spend now, pay later. It's a mindset that so many people have when it comes to money. Just pull out the credit card, and then pay for it later when the bill comes. But even when the credit card bill does arrive, there's a tendency to pay only the minimum amount due, and the debt begins to mount.

Our handling of money can become a dangerous cycle of getting ourselves deeper and deeper into debt. It can also become a strong source of stress and tension in our lives and relationships.

Money, and our relationship with it, doesn't need to be difficult. Helping your participants gain control of their finances and get to a healthier financial place is actually easier then it seems.

Motivation Magic
Awakening in Others the Inspiration to Excel

People often refer to others motivating them to take an action or pursue a goal, but can we really motivate others? Not we can't. Why? Because the essence of motivation is an internal force - it comes from WITHIN a person, not from OUTSIDE OF THEM. Why then do people so often refer to someone motivating them? Because people don't "give" us motivation; rather it is that people help us find it within ourselves.

While WE can't motivate others, there are many times in life that we are called to provide support and encouragement. Someone may come to you and specifically ask for a helping hand as they set off on a personally challenging endeavor. They are trying to make a personal change and they know they will need support. You may understand that your role is to help the person find, sustain or regain motivation but do you know exactly what to do?

New Beginnings
How to Create a Future You are Excited About!

New beginnings, like the people who create them, come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are bold and ambitious, while others are subtle and sublime. They can be sweeping life changes like quitting a job, getting married, moving across country or across the world. They can also be the routine changes we make every day like choosing a new hair style or starting an exercise program, for instance. Regardless of scope, it pays to choose your new beginnings thoughtfully and intentionally.

What exactly is a new beginning? Why is starting something new so important? What can you do to make the most of your new beginnings? How do you increase the odds of a successful transition? How do you deal with inevitable setbacks? How do you stay on track on the days you ‘don’t feel like it’?

Overcoming Procrastination
The Art of Getting Things Done Now!

Have you ever procrastinated? Your answer to this question is most likely – yes! Everyone has put something off, convincing themselves that they will get to it at a later date.

Procrastination involves an inner conflict between something we want or need to accomplish and a resistance to actually doing it. Even though procrastination inevitably shows up in each of our lives, we can’t take its presence lightly. And in today’s fast-paced world, it’s even more important that we manage our time efficiently and limit procrastination as much as possible

Overcoming Procrastination will have huge interest for your participants as it will increase their awareness of what procrastination is, why they do it, and what can be done to overcome it.

The Persuasion Equasion
How to Influence Others, Sell Your Ideas, and Make Things Happen

Have you ever wished you could be more charming? You know, be like that person who can win others over and convince them to do what they want?

Frequently in our lives we need to sell our point of view to others, or influence others to take a certain action, and that means we need to effectively persuade and influence.

On the surface, persuading and influencing others may seem all about our ability to present a sound and logical argument. And although this is an important part of the persuasion equation, it’s not enough on its own. Appealing to a person’s mind will only get you so far; you have to also appeal to a person’s heart in order to be most successful. Researchers have found that at the heart of persuasion and influence can be found in your ability to focus on human relations.

The Rebel Within
Beating Self-Sabotage and Reaching Your Potential

Most people are totally unaware of the fact that they have an inner, self-sabotaging voice that is constantly speaking to them. This voice will say things that at first sound like wise advice that is only meant to protect the person from emotional harm such as getting hurt, being rejected, or experiencing disappointment. So this voice will say things like:

• “You’re going to look like a fool.”
• “Don’t try that. It’ll never work.”
• “People aren’t going to like that
• You’re not experienced enough to make that work.”
• “Don’t wear that dress; it makes you look fat.”
• “You’ll embarrass yourself if you try that.”
• “It’s too much effort to do that. And it won’t work, anyway.”

There are countless more things this inner voice says, so the question that needs to be asked then is: have you ever heard this inner voice saying these things to you? The answer for all of us is, yes!

The Rhythm and Blues of Empathy
Resonating With the Feelings of Others to Build Rapport

Empathy is often referred to as the door that leads to compassion. It is perhaps the most important element to building strong rapport with others. The term ‘empathy’ comes from the German term einfuhlung, which means “to feel as one with”.

Each of us has the capacity to be more empathetic in our dealings with others. However, many people think it’s a trait that only a few possess. This is not true. Every person has the ability to be more empathetic; they just need to understand the term better, appreciate its amazing benefits to relationships of all kinds, and learn how easily it can be developed.

Through exploring this topic, you clients will learn more about this very misunderstood skill and walk away with simple, yet powerful tools to increase their own level of empathy so they create stronger rapport with all the important people in their lives.

Say It! Hear It!
The Power of Effective Communication

It may come as a surprise, but communicating with others is the one activity you do more than any other - except for breathing. No doubt there’s plenty of communicating going on in your life. But how effective is it? What results does it get you? Excellent interpersonal communication skills are the most valuable skills you can possess, both personally and professionally. Just because you have the ability to speak doesn't mean you are effectively speaking. And, your ability to hear doesn’t mean you're truly hearing what someone else is saying to you.

Working with this topic, your clients will learn powerful techniques to become better speakers and listeners by discovering more about: What is it we are really looking for when we communicate with each other? What gets in the way of our communication and how do we overcome it? And what's essential in all communication interactions?

The Time Challenge
Making Every Moment in Life Count!

You would think that by the time we reach adulthood, we would recognize time as one of our most precious and limited of gifts. Between career demands, family needs, and a slew of responsibilities in between, we are all probably wishing there would be more hours in the day so that we can spend some time doing the things we really want to do.

Last anyone checked there still was only 24 hours afforded to us each day. Perhaps a better question we should be asking ourselves is why 24 hours isn’t enough? Just exactly what is taking up all our time and why aren’t we able to make time for the things that matter most?

Transitions and Transformations
Thriving in the Midst of Change

Every person responds differently to change. Some thrive on it. Others deplore it, doing everything in their power to maintain the status quo. In this workshop, your clients will understand the force behind change, learn to transition through it, and focus on what they can control in an uncertain world. Unfortunately, most people struggle with change – even fight against it, which is odd when you think about its certainty.

The fact is, all of us will have to face change in one form or another during our lives. We can either deal with it up front, or end up experiencing double the angst later on.

Visioning and Goal Setting
Projecting Your Tomorrow and Heading Toward It Today

When your life comes to an end, what will you have accomplished? What will be the results of all your daily, weekly, and yearly efforts? And what about today? Do you see the remainder of your life as limitless in its potential? Do you feel you have great, untapped promise?

Sadly, most people feel they are capable of a life far more enriching than the one they are currently living. So what’s missing? And what steers us away from what we want and makes us accomplish far less than we had hoped? Extensive research done at several prestigious universities points to the same conclusion: every person who accomplishes a great deal, and performs at optimum levels, does so by having a clear vision and goal of what they want. Having a clear vision and goal is the hallmark of every form of high achieving.

What Matters Most
Building a Fulfilling Life on the Foundations of Your Values

A choice of direction may at first seem to have no real consequence, but over time that simple choice could have a huge impact. Big changes have their roots in seemingly small decisions. A two or three degree shift in direction may not seem to have much impact at the beginning of a journey, but miles into your journey the implications can be gargantuan.

That’s why identifying and understanding your core values is so important. Like the rudder of a boat, your core values are there to give you stability and guidance along your journey.
