Do you have a personal plan for success?

Most people today are completely overwhelmed by everything that life throws at them on a daily basis. Because the boundaries between work and personal life have become so blurred, we become lost, confused and derailed from our goals.

Personal success is attained in gradual increments by setting and achieving goals.

At SlowDownFast.com, we have developed a comprehensive, customizable and highly flexible program which addresses such a need: The Slow Down Fast Intensive Empowerment System (IES).

The Slow Down FAST Intensive Empowerment System helps individuals achieve their goals.

Here’s how you can benefit from this program:

• You’ll realign yourself with your purpose.
• You’ll once again connect with your values and talents - and this will ignite your passion and drive to succeed.
• You will leverage your own, unique learning style for quicker retention and more rapid advancement.
• You will be empowered in your personal life, which in turn fuels you professionally and brings you greater commitment and dedication on the job.

Technology. The word itself is enough to strike fear into the hearts of those of us old enough to remember when a three-day turn around on postal mail was considered speedy communication, especially after spending some time with today’s young technological savants. But when you think about it, it wasn’t that long ago that we were going nuts about the latest and greatest gadget and our own parents were shaking their heads at all those “new-fangled gizmos.”

True, technology is changing at an ever-increasing pace, and it can be hard to keep up. But whether we like it or not, our civilization is built on technology and that’s one thing that’s not likely to change anytime soon. (At least, I hope not - I don’t know about you, but I’m not eager to return to plowing fields with wooden sticks and huddling around dung fires for warmth in the winter.) Maybe it’s time we took a few cues from the younger generation and learned to embrace technology the way they have.

So, what can kids teach us about technology? Read Post

I’m presenting tomorrow at the Biz Tech Expo in Milwaukee. Topic: Personal Development in a Professional World.

Here are the details:

Do you enjoy reading books and magazines to improve your knowledge on a specific subject? Or do you prefer going to lectures and seminars or listening to CDs to educate yourself further? Maybe you just dive into experimenting and experiencing anything new you want to learn about.

In general, we all have preferences for how we like to learn and process information. I find this fascinating, and have experimented with different types of learning styles to see which is right for me. You may be surprised at how much more you recall when you stimulate different areas of your mind.

When I work with coaching clients, I offer a variety of learning styles to assist with the absorption of information. For example, some might benefit greatly from the one-on-one, personal contact that comes with in-person coaching or coaching by phone. Others may prefer a form of self-coaching that involves reading and engaging in mental exercises on their own. Still others prefer a combination of the two, as the more areas of their brain are engaged, the more information they are able to retain and use.

Most people are a combination of learning styles, with one being dominant. The three primary formats for learning are: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. It’s useful to know what kind of learner you are as well as knowing what your friends, family, teachers, co-workers, or clients are. The way we learn best is often the way we like to communicate best, so knowing learning styles improves communication as well. Read Post

From my guest post Work Smarter for Better Time Management at Dumb Little Man:

“Today’s business world is constantly changing at breakneck speeds. It requires flexibility, a great deal of organization, and a good sense of humor just to keep up. Companies are retaining fewer employees but the workload continues to increase, making it harder to meet job demands and almost impossible to maintain any kind of work life balance.

Many companies have recognized this disparity and have implemented various types of time management training programs; some are good, most aren’t. Even so, you need to come up with a well thought out plan in order to meet your goals. Luckily there are several things you can do to make the most of your day, get things done, and still have time left over to relax.”

Ever had anyone tell you that you hear, but don’t listen? Most of us have had experiences where we’ve heard someone talking to us, but didn’t get what they were saying. Or have you had to ask someone to repeat something they just told you ten minutes ago?

Nine times out of ten, it’s not because you’re stupid, or because the topic is over your head. It’s because you weren’t listening to what the other person had to say. Read Post
