What separates the good from the great - 10/30/10 09:48 AM
The 212° concept is one of the most powerful communication ideas that I have experienced.  If you're not familiar, here's the idea:
At 211 degrees...water is hot.At 212 degrees...it boils.And with boiling water, comes steam.And steam can power a locomotive.And, it's that one extra degree that...
Makes all the difference.So many times, in business and in life, it's that one extra degree of effort that separates the good from the great.What I love about the 212° idea is that you can use it to fit your own needs.
It may be 212° service that you'd like to reinforce, or 212° attitude, … (13 comments)

Techniques to reduce stress in your life - 10/29/10 12:28 AM
1. Meditate
If you're thinking meditation means twisting your body into an uncomfortable position and uttering "oohs" and "omms" for an hour, guess again. Any repetitive action can be a source of meditation. This includes walking, swimming, painting, knitting, any activity that helps keep your attention calmly in the present moment.
When you catch yourself thinking about your job, your relationship or your lifelong to-do list, experts say to simply let the thought escape, and bring your mind back the repetition of the activity. Try it for just 5 to 10 minutes a day and watch stress levels drop.

Treat yourself with respect - 10/05/10 09:31 PM

 
Live your life on the basis of what is possible, right and good for you instead of what you or others think you should do. Find out what you want and what you are good at, value those, and take actions designed to fulfill your potential.
Respect your own needs. Identify what really fulfills you – not just immediate gratification. Respecting your deeper needs will increase your sense of worth and well-being.
Make decisions. Practice making and implementing positive choices flexibly but firmly, and trust yourself to deal with the consequences.

  The Haircut.......  One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.  After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
 When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.   Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from … (16 comments)
