Greetings!
In this month's articles, you will read about how we sometimes automatically do what meets some emotional need rather than what takes us in the direction we really want to go.
I had the distinct pleasure of being interviewed by Darlene Willman of Accomplish Radio last week....bear with her promotion at the front end of this clip, it's a good exercise in why I do what I do and what makes me tick.....if you really want to know what makes me tick!

And four times a year I conduct a Clarity Summit for those wanting to delve into what's getting in their way. I will be conducting the next one here in St. Louis on January 7 - 9, 2011. Attendants usually take advantage of these Summits when they feel stymied, and can't figure out what's impeding their growth. Click here to learn more.

Ted is the manager of a very successful business, and he's frustrated. Whenever he asks a direct report to take on a task, he finds that his expectations aren't met, even though he is certain there was mutual agreement on what would happen next. "We'll have an iron-clad agreement," he says. "But no matter what I say, I cannot get what I want." My answer surprised him. (Read on....)

A Toast to my Favorite Bad Guy.
As you know, I firmly believe that our Knower/Judgers sit at the foundation of our struggles. These are the bad guys, holding our histories and rules and getting in the way of our ability to be who and what we really want to be. Yet without my K/J, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas at my house. Here's why I'm raising a glass to the bad guy. (Read more...)

OK. We bust our ass 11 1/2 months a year....time to let our hair down and do what we REALLY love to do. This is our 13 year old Border Collie, Gabby, totally in the Christmas spirit, about to do what he LOVES to do (note snack stimulus at the lower edge of the picture!).

How does Rally co-driving prepare you for improving performance in teams and executives?
|
I am a Rally Co-driver in several series in the Western
Hemisphere. You can read
about my racing history at my rally website. When I am competing, it is my job to corral all the best performances
from myself, the driver, the mechanics and any other members of the crew
supporting us for the weekend. As you
can imagine, as in any racing, egos are strong, tensions are high, and the
atmosphere is ripe for interpersonal conflict.
I have a track record of co-driving for racers of any caliber
(National Champions to first event novices) and delivering results that exceed
their expectations.
For the rest of my living, I coach executives in leadership and team dynamics; teams in developing higher levels of trust,
understanding and camaraderie; and individuals in making changes supportive of
getting what they want in life. In this arena too, I
have a reputation for delivering results that exceed their expectations.
HDClarity
is an e-zine for those wanting to develop more of that trust,
understanding and camaraderie in their work environment, and their life
in general. A smoother running team is a more profitable team. It get
things done faster, for less cost.
If you'd like to share some of these insights for developing High Definition Clarity in your daily and business life, please forward this email.
