How many times do you speak like this?
“Hey Steve, I understand you didn’t follow-through on the customer order yesterday. Can you tell me what happened?”
THEN – when Steve is working on his response, YOU chime in with possible reasons!
“Was something taking too much time instead? Did you forget? Did your assistant drop the ball?”
TIP: Don’t answer a question you just asked someone! Let them answer.

Brian May – ring a bell for some of you? Well,...

Are you that person who lives by the quote:...
Often times we feel we would benefit from some guidance or support — but which kind? I am often asked, “What is the difference between a coach and a therapist or even a mentor and consultant?” I thought I would answer that here in case you have been asking this same question as well.
So here it is in a nutshell:
Feelings of anxiety can affect anyone and for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the sensation can be overwhelming and paralyzing making getting through the day challenging at best.

Starting the new year right may mean getting a solid footing on the process of ‘STARTING’ altogether. I have written about how starting helps with the finishing in a previous post – so I am backing up a bit now, and addressing the ‘starting’ process itself.
So now you work from home part of the week and bounce into the office the rest of it. Unless you got highly skilled at making this work, you may have some stress and overwhelm with this dynamic. For some, the transition is challenging and for others a welcomed change of scenery. If you are the former, there are some ways to make the best use of your time while you are working at home.
At a recent visit to a local hospital, it was hard to not notice the signage in the elevators indicating that abusive or aggressive behavior would not be tolerated there. To me that seemed so obvious that I was befuddled that it had to be blatantly stated with a professionally created sign to visitors.

With most meetings occurring online, I’m hearing about the frustrations of time wasted during meetings from leaders and teams’ members alike. Meetings are running overtime. The structure is lost. People can’t make it to their meetings on time – even virtually! Some people talk too much while others never utter a word.
Are you someone who starts a whole bunch of projects and tasks yet rarely finish any of them? You are in excellent company!
