Are You Ready to Evolve Your Impact?
Are You Ready to Evolve Your Impact?

Take Your First Step Toward True Evolution of Your Impact!

Ever wonder why you repeat the same negative thoughts in your head? Why you keep coming back for more from hurtful family members, friends, or significant others? Why you keep falling into the same detrimental habits or limiting attitudes—even when you know that they are going to make you feel bad?

Dr. Joe Dispenza has spent decades studying the human mind—how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. In the acclaimed film What the Bleep Do We Know!? he began to explain how the brain evolves—by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the psyche.

Have You Tapped Your Secret Success Powers?

Inside Out to Success!
Success is Inside Out!
Two of my favorite Albert Einstein Quotes are as follows:

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

At first take – it does not appear these two quotes are related but they very much are!   For example, we are at a time of year when millions are inspired to set big goals both personally and professionally that they feel will lead them to a happier and more successful life experience.   Unfortunately, by the time February ends – many of our resolutions and the hope we felt will be a distant memory.   Why is this?  It is because the New Year generates a mood of hope in many.  It is an opportunity to make a fresh beginning!  Those making resolutions are tapping into this hope yet over days and weeks that follow the hope – we get hit by the tyrant of the urgent and our grand ideas shaped at the new year no longer seem “realistic”  in the face our “reality.” As Mr. Einstein says, insanity is doing the same thing over and over – expecting different results!

Now, I am all for setting goals and big ones!   In fact, as human beings we are quite goal directed and we accomplish many things effortlessly because of our unique gifts that others find amazing.  That being said, we do not apply the underlying principles that allow for success in one area of life in other areas where we are frustrated with!   One of these powers is our imagination.  Imagination is the foundation of vision, of great athletic accomplishment, and of great breakthroughs in our life and businesses. Most Goal Setting Approaches Do Not Take Into Account The True Human Powers That Allow Goal Setting to Be More Effective!

You Control Much More Than You Think!
Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles

By Bruce H. Lipton, PhD

The revelations in Dr Bruce Lipton’s research is a major breakthrough that will change the way we think about what influences our personal success and fulfillment .  For years we have considered DNA and our genes as major determinants of our destiny – mentally, physically and emotionally.    With the revelations from his and many other biologists research, Dr. Lipton turns this major hypothesis on its ear.

Super Charged Executive Development for “The Intellectual”

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I Think Therefore I Am
As stated in my entry on August 5th – development as a human being is not stagnant after a certain age.  We have untold potential to rise to higher and higher states of awareness.  As we grow we have the ability to find greater levels of success and fulfillment as well as the capacity to lead ourselves and others through increasingly complex situations.  Just like a snow flake or set of finger prints, each of us has our own unique expression through which we approach achieving achievement, people and our own personal fulfillment.  We come into the work place with our own special talents as well as achilles heels.  That being said, recent research by Bob Anderson of The Leadership Circle – as well as years of research done in the leadership and human development field – has shown that at a high level there are three primary mindsets that human beings take on as they move into adulthood.  While we each of us has contact with all three – most of us will lean heavily in one direction.

I have labeled these three orientations as:

  • The Achiever
  • The Intellectual
  • The Relater

In our last entry we took a deeper look at the key qualities and the leveraged developmental path for The Achiever.  In this entry we will examine The Intellectual. (more…)

Super Charged Executive Development for “The Achiever”

Friday, August 14th, 2009
  • For the Achiever - Winning is Everything!
    As indicated in my last entry, the development of leadership capacity in an individual is an issue of human development.  In other words, leaders are not born they are made.  Yet, just as one size does not fit all – there is no one style of leadership that fits everyone.  By understanding specific developmental pathways and how they related to leadership enables us to help executive leaders add velocity towards increasing their leadership impact.

In short, the pathway of development into a strong executive leader involves moving from a more reactive stance to one that is more proactive and creative.  It is an issue of evolving and transforming into higher orders of who you already are.  There are three primary developmental orientations: 1:

  • The Achiever
  • The Intellectual
  • The Relate
