Conversation and Connections Q: Is there a big difference? A: YES This trick works setting up a formal conversation area, or if you have spare chairs to park. Notice, if you place them flat up against the wall, people won’t sit there and have a conversation, as they’d be gazing into space.

09/22/2014 Edited: Jan 05 2019 CH-CH-Changes While change can be good for the soul, many people resist! When people resist change, it often means they are already happy in the moment. They ask, “Why change?” They like the age of their kids, they like their time together, and (bonus) the in-laws live two hours away!

Decision Making: Back to Basics The pros and the cons! Decisions happen every day. Some are so small and mundane we hardly have to think twice. The others? Those decisions can have ‘life-altering’ consequences and should be made more carefully. Just recently, I was asked to do a guest article for a magazine! Great! The topic was interesting, but there was a dilemma: Should I make it more personal, or should I stick to the research-based facts? ~ A non-life-threatening…

Practical Steps to Success #8: Recognize the Dance of Destruction I met with a client a few months ago; we discussed his business, his trials and setbacks. His long term goals were very vague. He was more interested in immediate ‘cash flow’ right now than planning and saving for the future. After talking for about two hours, he decided to ‘give it one more year’. So, what does that really mean? It means; he is not going to change a…
