Creating Choices

Filed under Achievement Mindset, Awareness, Excuses, Failure, Personal Development by on March 24, 2012 at 9:32 am {4 comments}

I’ve been working in the space of personal development for the last 18 years and I’ve found how simple truths actually activate learning for people. One of these wise sayings, “You have the power to Choose” is a simple yet unmistakably impactful one.

Now, I know some people feel it’s just a motherhood statement. If you’ve always been left with no choice in your life, you will find that it’s not just a motherhood statement, it contradicts your experience.

In either case, I find that it’s telling when people say that “know” it but don’t apply it, or find that it’s not true and it doesn’t apply to them!

In a recent training on Creating Customer Intimacy, I tabled the idea that all the communication tactics in the world would never enhance your ability to have customer intimacy. Most of us live in a world where we think we have no customers. But as long as you have to work with at least one human being in the world, that person is considered a ‘customer’. It could be a team member, your family, a boss, a friend. At the end of it all, we have to be very clear that in order for customers to want us, we need to make a special change to the way we do things.

Personal Development: High Expectations vs Perfectionism

Filed under Failure, Leadership, Personal Development, Self Help, Spirituality by on October 4, 2010 at 9:29 pm {no comments}

I was recently texting a friend and she told me that she wanted lots of things, and wanted them all to be perfect. I guess that’s the first thing I want to talk about today, followed by the idea regarding our expectations.

In many instances, it is a little difficult to put a finger on perfectionism. Not everyone can say it’s a good thing, but we all know for sure that it can’t be a bad thing in most cases. When it comes to making things happen, though perfectionism has a few drawbacks.

A training participant once approached me and said that his life was in a big mess and just did not know where to start. I had three questions for him:

  • Is it important enough to change?
  • Is it beneficial enough to change?
  • Do you have the right resources to change?

He was slightly taken aback where these three questions were concerned because a while he felt it was important to change, and logically thought it was beneficial to change, he was a little disturbed to discover that he still did not take any action.

So… I’m almost certain that you’ve been struck senseless by Steve Jobs’ flurry of innovations beginning with the MacBook, the iPod, the iPhone and now the iPad.

There’s a lot to say about genius, and although I have not yet met Steve Jobs myself, I think there’s a certain kind of drive in the man that enables him to push himself forward so much.
