Real Behavior Change: What does it take to break a habit?

Motivation, Reinforcement, Support and Accountability Behavior change is not merely a matter of knowledge or skill. If that were true, then all the information campaigns on how to improve your health would have made behavior-related illnesses a thing of the past. And birth control information would prevent teen pregnancies. Sadly, many people fail to create lasting change in their behavior and will repeat their failures over and over again in their lives. Have you ever tried to break a habit? Organizations, like people suffer from the same difficulty in shifting their behavior.

In an Economic Crisis, Get Out of Mental Hibe ation

The news is bad. Few are the days when any positive announcements are made. Job losses are announced by the thousands in many countries. Even if you turn the news off, the negativity still confronts you from everywhere. Many people are walking around with high levels of fear, anxiety and panic. Perhaps you or a family member has lost their job, or maybe you are just waiting for your job to be cut. It’s very hard not to feel hopeless and despairing. Even if you pride yourself on making up your own mind about what is real or not real, the negative messaging gets to you in the end.

Influencing and Persuading Macho People at Work and At Home: The Macho Test

Whining and Connection Theory

The weather has been unusually bad this summer. Either rain or it’s too hot. Or too humid. And summer doesn’t last very long anyway. The price of gas goes up on long weekends. And don’t get me started on the dollar! When it hit + 10 percent over the US dollar last year I lost a huge amount on my big summer program. Hey, doesn’t this sound Canadian? To the outside ear, this may sound like whining, but what do they know? This is how Canadians connect!

How to Recover from Bloopers, Blunders and Faux Pas

The dictionary defines a faux pas, as a false step (which is the literal translation from French) or a breach of etiquette. A blunder is a stupid mistake, to move awkwardly or stumble or to utter stupidly or confusedly. Bloopers are defined as a clumsy mistake, especially one made in public. Have you ever had a day like that? How do you get your foot out of your mouth? Recently Harvard University President Lawrence Summers created a crisis by suggesting that women do not ha

How Visualization Can Create Bad Judgement and Alte atives to Self Delusion

My coaching client Sophia had explored a business opportunity with a franchising organization and was very excited to tell me about it. It combined many of the activities that she found motivating; it would enable her to work from home, set her own schedule, work in a people job and use her communication skills. It seemed great. She could see herself doing all those things and being happy. Sofia contacted them to arrange attending their open house and was dismayed to find th

The Right Moment to Close the Sale

Jamie was listening patiently to his potential customer. George had said what he was looking for, why he wanted it and what would happen if he didn’t solve the problem soon. Jamie was eager to close the deal but couldn’t tell if now was the time to ask for the sale. Like Jamie, many sales people know there is a moment when people are ready to buy. They just don’t quite know how to identify it. Often it is because they’re listening for the clue, not watching for it. The tip o

The Psychology of Mac Versus PC

The Mac versus PC commercials have been playing on television in North America and elsewhere for quite some time. They are very engaging. Many people stop whatever they are doing to watch them. If you have not seen them, check out Mac versus PC on YouTube. They pose a challenge to Microsoft Windows and merchants of PC technology because they clearly and amusingly demonstrate the drawbacks for using a Windows operating system versus the Mac system. But why are they so powerful

But, let’s talk about some specific things that are important to you

“The first time anything violent happened my husband broke my nose and kicked me in the shins. We had been having dinner at a friend’s place and he had been drinking heavily all night.
