		<title>Productivity: Seeking Your Own Development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been some time since I had the chance to sit down and actively put my thoughts out there since I&#8217;d suddenly become swamped with work and studies. There are basically three things I learnt this week I&#8217;d like to focus on, and hopefully it will help you on your journey. Procrastination Sucks. If we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business Success At Your Expense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read with some amusement a lot of these ads on FB and other places where people tell you to trade or start a business as though that were the only thing that mattered in making a decent living. Mind you, there are a lot of successful people out there who do not have business [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Passion Really About?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some students recently asked me about whether I enjoyed my work. I love my work! As I thought about this, I started to wonder what made my work great and satisfying. After all, there are so many people I know who do not enjoy their work at all, or want to leave their jobs because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Willpower: Can You Manufacture It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In studying the whole idea of the ability to create action, my previous article alluded to a concept known as personal power. However, just defining personal power as the ability to take action is insufficient. I can take action, but why should I if I know that it will end up in failure? The most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Psychological Efficacy: Life&#8217;s Biggest Leverage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my previous article, I had focused quite heavily on Psychological Capital or PsyCap. Today, I&#8217;d like to zoom into one major element of PsyCap known as self-efficacy. This has been highly validated in the research literature so this isn&#8217;t going to be an academic discussion. Rather, this is an attempt to put the science into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Psychological Capital: The Missing Ingredient In An Advanced Organization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been speaking with people who are supposed to be employed and supposed to be satisfied with their lot in life. But they are unhappy. I say &#8220;supposed&#8221; because when you make a fair and objective comparison, they shouldn&#8217;t have any problems and yet they are somehow not satisfied with their work, their environment or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coaching For Balancing Life&#8230; And Even Personality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amazing how much I can learn from my clients and people I meet with. The strangely familiar struggle with work is an ongoing theme in many of their lives, and the whole idea of &#8216;work-life balance&#8217; is nothing but a myth. I think I know the reason why. Work-life balance is about our ability [...]]]></description>

		<title>Understanding Interpersonal Relations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently in a certification training program because you could say that I have been &#8220;itching&#8221; to learn new stuff (and I think I learn pretty well). What surprised me is the kind of insight that comes from structure. I have known for a long time that people have needs. To the extent that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Personal Development &#8211; Japan And Resilience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the time, I don&#8217;t really bother with the news, except business news. Occasionally, some interesting articles catch my attention and I read in greater detail. The recent earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant meltdown in Japan was something that caught many people&#8217;s attention, and of course, I believe warrants a reflection. What do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Just Be Motivated: Make It A Way Of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that few people actually understand the notion of motivation. To most, motivation is a feeling. It&#8217;s the rush and the high that gets people excited, and all too often, causes disappointment because it didn&#8217;t last. But why have such expectations in the first place? Usually, people think of motivation as a harbinger of [...]]]></description>
