A passage to a New Year

This passing year turned a page with remarkable influence, and each of us endured a memory of its magnitude. Every second of every minute, every hour of each day, every month of this year, something was gained! Now a New Year is here, and we are more confident and determined in every way, more intelligent and able to bend more easily without breaking to obstacles which may arise. We have learned through the past!

Let's make a resolution to live for each moment, firmly perfecting our existence this new year... Form a mental image of who we will be in years to follow and move onward!

Wishing all acquaintances a Happy New Year, filled with forward living moments...and decades of future years to enjoy!

Master Composers

Individual beings are master composers, each with a unique voice of soul. Their concert in tune with purposeful symphony, as their instruments conduct melodies arranged in notable rhythm, and rhyme so well written it's impossible to remake. Each performance endured, no matter how orchestrated, was copy written at birth.

Life is a Novel

"Life is a Novel, with a hundred thousand chapters. Each page a day in the life, every chapter a saga, a book amidst a trillion libraries. Throw away the bookmark, as this borrowed book has an undefined expiration date, and can't be exchanged. Choose to experience life in full volume. Our story is not of paper back, hard cover is what we are, and our spine will keep us bound, you can count on it."

The Human Race, we are all one race.

"We the Human Race, are all one race.
All ignorant acts towards humanity, past or present, must be acknowledged and remembered, in order to abolish and prevent future acts of ignorance!"

Mirroring is key to overcoming challengers.

Great leaders are like unbreakable mirrors, and can withstand challengers, during face time.

Metaphors make sense

It's raining, yes pouring, the eagle is soaring, shaking feathers to fly through the change.
Take this metaphor, do what you will, as long as your will is to extend life, full range.

Exceed expectations, by exceeding your expectations.

Never settle, always expect 110%.

If the expectations were met, it was a result of not settling with mediocrity.

Leaders know, focusing on effort = executing tasks

Questions help get to the root of all things. Leaders, must question efforts alongside goals, as this will drive the focus to execute.

Leaders must be a step ahead, to lead and inspire!

Organization and planning take shape by forecasting outcomes.

Forecasting outcomes help us behave, and our behavior will help us plan and organize the cycles that will be encountered, allowing more freedom and time, to do what leaders do best, lead and inspire those who support them.

Leaders, always a step ahead!

Evolution of a Leader

While in pursuit of greatness, leaders evolve during constant self-reflection.

Self diagnosing in efforts to learn from mistakes, is essential, it allows growth by wisdom, and assures the leader, an up to date style in their approach. The leader evolves with each exchange, leading those in constant motion, who are also evolving.

It' s rough, when you think it's tough!

Times are rough for those who think its tough, time passes effortlessly for those who are tough.

Be tough, stand firm, take challenges as learning opportunities, and allow the time to pass as it will.

March 2011; private sector job market update for job seekers.

Job market; seeing rebound, hasn't swung full pendulum, however, hiring top talent has!

Un-employed? Create on-line alerts, play slots with the job postings, apply, follow with a phone call, and ask to be seen. Odds are in favor, playing the numbers!

Currently employed? Sit tight, you'll get the raise soon or stretch the comfort zone to seek options, no need posting a resume, seek confidentially.

Early risers obtain more prizes!

There is a price to pay, not living life to the fullest daily. Early risers may mean, rise anytime to fit the time zone. The key is to gain awake time, just an opinion. Each individual has choices on how much awake time they need to contribute to life in order to feel fulfilled, while, anothers belief, should not counter the outcomes, sleeping in, or contributing longer hours to living life to the fullest, the meaning and concept is an open forum.

Early risers obtain more prizes during the job hunt.

Early risers seeking employment, applying earlier than others, are first to be seen, and first in line all the time, earn choices. The opinion of the progressive job seeker, is, "I've accepted the job I've chosen, and quite happy where I've landed.", versus, what the loafers, with leftovers say, "had to accept this one, as its the only one left to choose."

Early risers=choice careers!

Giving people advice is worthy, giving a people a hard time is worthless.

Have you noticed, when advising others, it pays at the end of the day. However, when people are given a hard time over an issue, whether it is the server at a favorite restaurant, or the service professional working on the car, etceterra, it really doesn't help anyone, especially the next individual, who will be serviced by the same professional who was just handed a mouthful.

Difficult situations may turn out to be rewarding experiences, if we choose to allow it. So, if advice is given to correct an issue, everyone wins..... and if we all live by this same rule, it may impact all of us, at a more global level.

Building our people to be better all the time, not a new idea, just common sense.

It's interesting how planning works.

This month is passing by too quickly, have you accomplished what you've planned this month?
Are you planning ahead?
Planning keeps us a step ahead of future events, whether they are planned or unexpected.
Some planning will help overcome life's events, allowing additional upcoming events to be planned.
Interesting, how planning works......

Change is healthy

Change is healthy.....allow for options, don't settle on the same routine, change it up, and you will find yourself directing others away from becoming stagnant.

AIM = achieving imaginatively more

Aim, because aiming at nothing, leads to nothing. Know what you want, aim towards a plan, and you will achieve, imaginatively more.

A theory with possible results

When a leader assumes responsibility of a team, selflessly guiding and promoting individuals, the leader may very well experience self promotion.

As individuals are guided to reach a point where they're capable of guiding themselves, leaders working alongside them will continue being rewarded due to the multidementional expansion of the team. The contiuous promotion of tasks, feed the team with challenges, breading additional leaders who create new ideas to further the growth cycle.

Those who are capable of contributing consistently to this cycle, offer wealth to all who join and co-promote, thus bringing wealth to themselves.

Could it be true, leaders selflessly promoting others experience self promotion, or could it simply be a theory with possible results......I guess the leader must assume responsibility of exploring, her or his, own theory, while guiding, her or his own team.

Growth by retention

Successful leaders retain teams not by accident, they calculate an additional advantage over competitors, and later find themselves enriched by the surrounding troops and allies they so wholeheartedly built. Think big picture while you read this storyline.

"Two colleagues decide they will work as a team, for the company, for their clients, the big picture. Each giving, selflessly to ensure eachothers success, believing that as they continue to work for eachother, others will follow, and it will repeat itself. As they continue building, they realize it's time, for a third to pitch in. The first two discover that their tasks have become simplified, as the addition to the team has started mirroring their efforts. Each hungry to prove their worth, they continue to contribute wholeheartedly to this unstoppable force, they've all, so humbly created. After sometime, the confidence existing within the three pushed for an additional three, totalling six, and after sometime the six became twelve. Creating clearly what their competitors would've called, luck."

This perfect storm was created continuously in growth mode, not by accident, not by luck, but perhaps, retention.

Knowing key motivators = results

Leaders generally build and retain teams for the sake of sequential positive growth.
Knowing an individuals key motivators, (the buttons you push to increase productivity), are useful during pivotal moments where individual productivity and outcome must be favorable.


Leaders who have mastered this skill know how simple yet effective this technique can be.

With an open mind and heart, leaders will uncover what motivates an individual contributor, listening not only to what they initially answer, but listening during open dialogue and rapport building. During these important conversations, leaders will openly listen with full attention, and will uncover what is essential in pushing the right buttons which push an individual to their highest level of performance, being cautious not to push an individual closer to competitors, (the unfavorable outcome). Pushing gently to reach the top, while avoiding cliffs.

Keep this in mind, (long term teams = growth by retention).

Growth by retention? (perhaps a future blog)

Leaders who experience success as a result of knowing an individuals key motivators, will appreciate the dividends and will continue to lead effortlessly, while producing positive results.

The Domino Effect

A leader of a team, an executive, or perhaps a supervisor of a department, a parent, whether in the trenches or above, climbing the ladder sitting in a cubicle, or in all day meetings, working, not working, driving, lunching, networking, presenting, ok, you get my drift.....

Those who are successful, create behaviors in those they mentor, as if they are an artist creating a masterpiece, or a composer creating a symphony. Creating behavior derived of quality and not quantity. Quality and not quantity? Take for example, fine dining in France, Italy, or somewhere along our Southern California coast, by a Chef, who only displays the art of palate, and not a plate full.

Create quality behaviors and not quantity? A definition would make sense, however, with each human being there are variations of definition. I plan not to define at any scheduled time, however will face it daily, as I ask myself at any moment, how I will behave to influence those around me, to behave in a manner that is progressive, forward thinking, unified, with far reaching goals. Creating a behavior that others have no choice but to remember and pass on to others they will mentor. I think you get my drift.......

You decide how others are influenced, and they will decide how to influence others, and in some random way it was created and passed on.

This may change your perception of yourself and how you lead others, thus you will lead and others just may follow.....
