Smart vs SmartER!
What are you doing today to fulfill everything you would like to accomplish this year? With the beginning of a new year, many of us have the desire to succeed. You may have set resolutions or goals, or even aligned with a word for your year. But now that we're halfway through the month, are you still on track? Did you miss a day or two of working out? Did you eat that donut you claimed you wouldn't touch? Did you get caught up in work responsibilities and forget to spend the time you wanted with your c...

Developing or Enabling
When have you taken the time to develop someone around you? Was it a co-worker, a mentorship opportunity, or in your life with your children? Having the opportunity to develop others allows us to share our knowledge and enjoy the blessing of being able to impose wisdom on others. I've had the experience in my life to see the impact that's been made when people have great connections in their lives who work to develop them in all facets of life. But sometimes it can be unhealthy. What may be an ideal relationship could turn into an expe...

Evaluating Performance and Behavior
To build upon our conversation last week on will they stay or will they go, today we are talking about the Performance Review Process. Are you consistent in your process? Is it a valuable dialogue with your team members? Are you evaluating performance and behavior? Whether you are a manager or an individual employee we should all take into consideration the importance of the review process. When an employee doesn't get information on their successes and improvements needed in their role, they are almost left stranded in hopes that t...

Will They Stay or Will They Go?
Will your employees stay with your company, or will they move on to something bigger and better? Retention rate with a company is a hot button. The hiring process always takes longer than we like, training an employee uses valuable resources, and employee engagement is better when you have a team you feel a part of. Since unemployment is relatively low these days, what can you do to create the best employee workplace to continually ensure your employees enjoy their jobs? You might have very talented people in your organization that are great assets to the success o...

Perfect Practice to Maximize Performance
How much effort do you put into your practice? Tony Robbins says, "It’s what you practice in private that you will be rewarded for in public." Often times we may see people and assume they get their accolades after some quick work or because they're just naturally fantastic at what they do. Most often, those who are successful have achieved that through deliberate practice. This helps them hone their craft and maximize their overall performance.

Releasing Toxicity Through Writing
Are you holding in emotions that are getting in your way? What can you gain from writing out your thoughts? All of us most likely deal with some form of toxicity in our daily lives. This could be an annoying coworker, a friend who always complains, or even someone in our family that brings stress and bad energy. How much is your own emotion responding to this? When I work with my coaching clients, I start them out by writing or journaling to get some of their pent-up emotions that are getting in the way. Th...

Expectations vs. Intentions
Do you find yourself setting lofty expectations for yourself? Are you experiencing the "expectation hangover" after you don't meet your expectations? Whether it's our own personal drive to be greater than we could be or it's the societal pressures we face, sometimes our expectations that we set for ourselves can end up skewed. We set these standards most often to improve ourselves, but most people end up feeling worse about themselves if they don't reach that expectation. Yet, how can we appreciate the progress that we made in the process? Setting intentions help us succeed and be even more successful. I...

How much time do you spend caught up in your negative thoughts? Sometimes we get stuck in these mindsets and don’t realize how much of ourselves we are losing to thinking this way.

We may not have total control over our coworkers, but we do have the ability to shift our own thinking and revert it from being negative.
