Today as people become increasingly conscious of their worth,
they are no longer willing to stay in a job that has become
intolerable and impersonal to them.
This means that in the corporate or business world, it no longer
suffice to have a system in place and expect people to just
comply by them.
Without some form of human connections, things won't work out
for long and the strength of commitment from your employees will
simply disintegrate.

I've just recently returned from a week's holiday at Camp Eden,
a holistic health retreat in Queensland.
I'm sure many of you would have been there or know someone who
has.
It's a great place for a holiday 'time out just for yourself.
For me it was an ideal break and had all the components of a
'holistic' retreat. And to top it all off, everything was
organised.
To cut a long story short, Camp Eden is for everyone. The very

The life cycle of the typical small business is short and
painful. It starts out with a dream and ends with a whimper. And
in between, a struggle of Herculean proportions is played out as
the owner tries to figure out why the business isn't succeeding.
Depending on which survey you read, up to 80% of small
businesses fail. Most fail within the first five years and those
who survive the first five are often losing money. Pursuing a
career in small business ownership seems like a fool's ...Read the rest of this entry »

One of the distinctions that sets coaching apart from
other types of consulting is that coaching specifically
addresses the client's sense of who they are in the world, and
helps the client make life choices that are aligned with their
personal values. In my opinion, there tends to be a split in the
psyche of America between personal and career development. If
you look in the index of your local telephone company's Yellow

A few nights ago, while surfing the late-night television
offerings, I found myself entranced by a rather astute looking,
young man giving all he had as he delivered an incredibly
passionate speech. The topic of his speech was civil rights, and
it was being televised by C-SPAN.
In the bottom, right-hand corner of the television, the name of
the speaker was displayed as "Jesse Jackson, Jr., Rep.
Illinois." I quickly realized I was listening to the 36 year-old

Life coaching can take on many forms. A life coach can guide you through your relationships, family life, or career change. Some people consider a life coach to be similar to a therapist. However, you go to the former when you know what it is that you want to achieve but don't yet know how to achieve it. This is especially true in executive coaching.
