Winning the Battle in Your Mind
Julie Fuimano, RN, MBA, CSAC

In my work with clients, observation is critical for change to occur. Clients learn to detach and step back from their thoughts so they can study and reflect upon what’s going on for them. This is not easy. It takes time and practice. Only from this place, however, is it possible to learn how to choose new thoughts and, hence, choose different actions and manage your emotional response and reactions.

Leadership - Communicating the Vision
Harald Anderson

It is perilous to assume that just because you hold a clear vision that everyone around you understands it as clearly. There is often a big gap in what you think the vision is and what the people you lead think. Communication is not complete merely because something has been expressed. It's vital to know how well the vision has been understood.

Success - Reacting Slowly and Deliberately
John Dueme

The best leaders I've worked with are the ones that know when they should wait and when they should respond immediately. Mature leaders know that some problems go away if ignored for a while. They also know that there are very few times where putting off sending a scathing email or administering a harsh verbal rebuke will give you cause for regret. However, it is pretty frequent that haste to respond to a laden situation will make you wish you had taken more time to think.

How to Get Your Blog Published on Amazon's Kindle

The Myth of Solo Success in Business

Signs of a Work-From-Home Scam
Jim Sperlich

A new phenomenon among home-business entrepreneurs is the small business owner who might manufacture something that in and of itself will not provide enough income to see her or him through financially, but in a way provides a nice little side line income.
