Greetings!
At this wonderful time of year, we take a break from our busy schedules to share the spirit of the season with friends, colleagues and family. It is a time of reflection when we re-gain perspective on what is most important in our lives. In the words of Mother Teresa, "If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.' This message has relevance not just for relationships but for our health - spiritual, physical and emotional; for our careers, finances, hobbies etc. Make a point this holiday season to re-balance your life and re-connect with friends and loved ones near and far.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued interest, friendship and support, and to wish you and yours a happy holiday!
Much success, health and happiness for 2012!
Cheers, Rebecca |

Exceptional Leaders...
Don't Rest On Their Laurels
In today's fast past business world, the expression "what have you done for me lately?" is even more of an imperative. Leaders have high expectations of employees and organizations have high expectations of leaders.
It is fine to take pride in past accomplishments. This does not mean however, that it is a reason for current entitlement. Leaders must produce in the present and focus on the future, not past glories.
Even in retirement, high profile executives, such as Lee Iacocca and Jack Welsh, are still in the game of writing best selling books and consulting rather than focusing on the past.

Investing In Others As A Mentor
Are you ready, willing and able to mentor others? Are you emotionally and psychologically prepared to invest time and effort in helping another person? Do you have the time, skills and freedom to devote yourself to another person? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, and you are ready to make a commitment, you may be ready to begin mentoring others.
To mentor is to change a life, if only in small ways. It can be applied to a variety of people, situations and purposes. Mentoring can range from an impromptu, off-the-cuff intervention, to an intense long-term relationship.
