So often we hear about 'being' rather than 'doing.' Often it's
given as advice when we are overwhelmed, overworked and
overstressed. 'You should just 'be.' You're doing too much.'
Well, yes, obviously, but what does that MEAN? How do we just be?
I happen to think the people saying this don't even really know
what it means and are just giving it as a platitude, trying to
help, but it doesn't help if you don't know how to implement it.
Here are some ways in which being is different from ...Read the rest of this entry »

I'm listening to the radio this morning as callers talk about
Martha Stuart's sentence. Caller number one says it was too
strict a penalty. She should've been given a small fine. It was
enough she lost what she did in the stock market.
Caller number two says it wasn't nearly enough for what she did.
She should be given a huge fine and more prison time.

I've counseled some truly beautiful people ' I mean physically
beautiful. People whom anyone would term 'stunning.' I've also
know some personally, and worked with some.
Aside from being beautiful (which is a big 'aside), I'd say the
'other things' we look for in life (or that hunt us down) are
what's called 'normally distributed' among the beautiful and the
not-beautiful. In other words, there's about the same amount of
happiness, money, good health, tragedy, addiction, good luck,

Have you ever made great progress with your goals but then found
yourself losing focus and getting side-tracked? Do you ever
achieve significant gains but then get distracted and 'fall off

often ask me how to get back in the groove when they've veered

I'm an EQ Coach. I help people increase their EQ, i.e., those

Avoiding Every Day Sales Goofs A client of mine once said to me,
'It's better to do the right thing badly than the wrong thing
very well.' So it goes in sales. Try to do the right things,

guilty of committing any of the following sales goofs, however,
if you see yourself in any of these situations, you might want

A business does not always run smoothly. There are cycles and phases in which it does not even perform to the set standards.

In the mid-1990's, Daniel Goleman introduced the term 'emotional

to manage our emotions and relationships with others was twice
as important as our intelligence quotient (IQ) and experience in
predicting our success as leaders. Ten years later, we see
frequent reference to 'EI', and have many different assessments
