Give Them Enthusiasm

I’m a fan of enthusiasm – and always have been. I’m confident at least part of the reason is because of my parents. That is one reason I like today’s quotation. The other reason is that it suggests something that isn’t always talked about . . . but that I will talk about below. Enjoy!

Are You Observing or Judging?

Yesterday, I was thinking about observation and judgement, and how it relates to effective communication and coaching. It reminded me of a particular incident that took place a few years back – an incident I had previously written about on the blog for my book Remarkable Leadership. We were driving somewhere as a family and,

It’s Your Choice

I didn’t remember who Harry Browne was, or that he ran for U.S. President as the Libertarian candidate in both 1996 and 2000. When I read his quotation though, I knew I wanted to share it with you. I hope you choose to read on . . . “You don’t have to buy

What’s Your Word Count?

Sales trainers and professionals have said it for years. The best sales people talk less during their encounters with customers than others do. They get the prospect to share their thoughts and concerns. They recognize that the sale isn’t made by their perfect words as much as by the feelings and thoughts of the prospect. While this

Engaging Employees to Increase Engagement

Leaders everywhere these days are talking about how to create more engaged employees. Consultants, authors, and speakers are consulting, writing, and speaking about the importance of increased employee engagement. It is a trend that makes good sense.

The ultimate extension of that is that you can have mentors that aren’t even living! Today’s Powerquote comes from one of my mentors. “Self-respect is the root of discipline; the

Could You Lead Your Meetings Google-Style?

This isn’t post lauding Google’s business model, working environment (per se), or their tech sensibilities. It is a post talking about a decision Larry Page made, that all leaders could make; a decision about meetings – what they are for and how to run them. The insight comes from the Business Insider Website, specifically this post. In

Do You Care?

From Green Eggs and Ham to the Cat in the Hat, I, like many kids, grew up with Dr. Seuss. But I can’t say I really became a fan until I was an adult — reading those classics and others to my children (Horton Hatches an Egg is a favorite.) If you’re a fan too,

A Powerful Activity for Your Office Christmas Party

Several years ago in December, some people asked me for a creative training opener. I posted a version of my idea on the earlier version of this blog then. Last Friday at Remarkable House, I used the exercise with our team at our annual Christmas party. It may be just what you need to make

Whose Responsibility is it, Anyway?

Sometimes you read or re-read a quotation that accurately describes your view of the world. Today, I share one of those with you. If it’s never your fault, you can’t take responsibility for it. And if you can’t take responsibility for it, you’ll always be its victim. – Richard Bach, author
