Actual for You - Business Coaching #2 - Work-Life Balance & Fulfilled Living
An Office Hierarchy Guideline just how life was.Dictator, Imperial or democratic are different types of administration for many different countries in the world. All of them have one thing in common. There is always one person at the top. The difference lies in how the delegation of power is distributed & the structure of its hierarchy.The above analogy can be applied to an office environment. There is the main boss Recently I started working with Michael Neill, a truly inspiring coach and NLP practitioner, to learn that there are times when it is right just to sit back and relax, allow thoughts to clear and become a tabula rasa – a blank sheet of paper ready to be filled with fresh ideas. Confused at first and even upset by the lack of taking action, I rebelled against the process. I questi Clutter The first time I heard about the term work-life balance I was surprised that anybody even thought of balancing the two. Wasn’t that like counting apples and oranges? Still, the idea was quite exciting and I thought I’d explore it a bit more:The average consumer is confronted with over 36,000 commercial messages per day. Decision makers face even more options. All available space is being bought up and sold as advertising space. Advertising exposure is increasing exponentially, and this naturally affects your cost of sales and therefore your margins. It now costs three times more to get just half the results yo I thought long and hard about what kind of working hours I wanted to have, what kind of office, how many people. By means of visualization all of that became a clear image that I was drawn to. I could see myself in a setting being fulfilled and happy with the way I lived and worked. Interestingly enough my enjoyment of the visions lasted only until the moment I realized that all my dreams and visions had come true! There is a Chinese curse: May you reach all your goals – that is exactly how I felt: empty and cursed - dreamless. So I pondered what I could do differently. First of all I learned that constant striving for new actions creates a mess of outcomes that are not necessarily beneficial. It is like attempting to weave a rug using thread that is in a tangled mass. Imagine yourself inspired by the idea of the colors you want to use, the thread choice and the size of the rug – your vision is clear and you slowly start working on it until you meet the first obstacle: knots that start taking you away from the initial goal. As you are solving the unpredicted problem, emotions arise, impatience, confusion – you end up working on untying the knot rather than weaving the rug. My personal experience was that I dealt with both with determination and focus, so I kept balancing the acts – weaving and untying the knots, keeping myself busy, thinking that was just how life was.

Granted, not just like parachuting, but they are similar in the fact that both require confidence, practice and perfect timing or you could fall on your face.

I questi Testing Headlines erently.A correspondent to AdBriefing, my monthly newsletter, has posed a very sticky question. How, she asks, can you tell whether a headline you have written is a good one…or not? What she means by this, I imagine, is whether the headline will actually help to make sales, rather than just act as a passing amusement to its readers.The latter precept, that a headline should ac First of all I learned that constant striving for new actions creates a mess of outcomes that are not necessarily beneficial.

As you are solving the unpredicted problem, emotions arise, impatience, confusion – you end up working on untying the knot rather than weaving the rug.Do you own a growing business that needs financing? If you are like most business owners, whenever your business needs money you head over to the bank. Unfortunately, as most small business owners soon find out, most banks do not lend money to businesses unless they have significant collateral and a history of successful operations.

I questi Bread For The Head just how life was.Whistleblowing as we know it is not a development of the late 20th century. The council of the city-state of Venice instituted a form of whistleblowing to help fight corruption and to give citizens a more meaningful voice in their government.Employees or franchisees do come across acts of dishonesty, fraud, corruption, theft, and transactions in prohibited goods, viole Recently I started working with Michael Neill, a truly inspiring coach and NLP practitioner, to learn that there are times when it is right just to sit back and relax, allow thoughts to clear and become a tabula rasa – a blank sheet of paper ready to be filled with fresh ideas. Confused at first and even upset by the lack of taking action, I rebelled against the process. I questioned if it was right for me, but each time I would face the same old fact: action was the thing that brought me where I was in the first place – and I wasn’t fulfilled. Thinking about what triggered this awareness, I realized it was a simple exercise that seemed to be non-action: Exercise for clearing the mind. Find a comfortable chair and while sitting (or lying) observe your thoughts while not acting upon them. Free your mind of all ‘I shoulds’, of all ‘I musts’. Once a thought comes that brings a ‘WOW!’ as a comment (sometimes there are other versions of it: ‘Wouldn’t that be nice!’, ‘I wish!’, ‘That would be great…’) proceed with one action that takes you closer to the realization of that thought. For those doing the exercise for the first time – when moving from thought to an action, choose small steps that are easy to achieve and give you a sense of completion. Do this exercise daily for 20 – 60 minutes a day. Copyright2007 Dalida Turkovic
