Many years ago, I learned an interesting way to look at recruiting new board members. Although an organization’s bylaws may require consumers, specific types of professionals (e.g., doctors, service providers), or professionals who have certain credentials (e.g., a licensed social worker, certified occupational therapist) to be on its board, examining the three W’s may also be a concept worth incorporating into your recruitment efforts. The three W’s to remember when recruiting potential board members are to seek the wise, the workers, and the wealthy.
"Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still.
Today, 6.3 millio American adults aged 18-54 have some type of specific fear. Although the most common fears tend to be public speaking, death, spiders, darkness, heights, social situations, flying, open spaces, thunder and lightening, and confined spaces—in that order, the current economy has brought a host of additional fears to the forefront of American's minds. These include the loss of a job, a home and of retirement income or invested money.
"Don't just do something, sit there." This could be a slogan in my messages from the universe lately. nnI was at the computer tonight, when suddenly my office (and entire building) went black. I carefully groped my way down stairs, found matches, a candle. I was planning on writing and rehearsing for upcoming speaking. It felt weird to have this "can't do anything" wave come in. However, I had just returned from an intense weekend with Caroline Myss, and Entering the Castle w
Dreamers and Doersr April, 13, 2015 Recently, it has been pointed out to me that there are “Dreamers” and there are “Doers”. I think this implies that people who dream don’t achieve results. It implies that being a “Doers” is the more valid choice of the two. I think this whole premise is over simplified. I don’t think either is the best choice. I believe that the perfect path to achievement is the middle path. A combination of the two. I have come to know in my experience, that there are three elements to significant “achievement”. You must have a vision or a goal “Dream”.r
I think one of the main reasons people relapse is they stop working their program of recovery. In my years as an addictions counselor I have heard it over and over again when I ask what led up to a relapse…”I quit working the program.” There are many ways you can quit working the program. We are all different and what leads to relapse might be different. At least, the details are different, but, there are some definite consistent themes. I am going to list them here. See if you can relate to any of these.
Achieving your own happiness is the best measure of how well you are living your life and enjoying your relationships.nnYou can learn how to be happier and more fulfilled in everything you do.nn Everyone is Different nHappiness in life is like a smorgasbord. If 100 people went to a smorgasbord and each put food on their plate in the quantity and mix that each felt would be most pleasing to him, every plate would be different. Even a husband and wife would go up to the smorgas
I've been blessed to play with many musicians over the years. Some have been cool as hell and others with their enlarged ego and elevated sense of self entitlement I'll never forget. I have shared a beer or two with some, and others I've finished off the bottle of Sir Daniels both on stage and off. I've heard sober artists grace the stages with their talent, and drinks and drugs make others fall flat in front of hundreds. I've heard gossip spew from lips of the jealous and ot

I have often been dismayed when hearing about chilren as young as 6 being given the psychotropic drug Ritalin because they have ADHD. So when I asked a good friend of mine who tutors young kids for a living what this was all about, what she said about this made me even more perplexed as to why such a potent drug is still given out freely to kids just because they have some differculty in learning.
One of the most frequently asked questions in anger management classes is whether one's anger problems are due to genetics or environment. At its most basic level anger is a survival mechanism which is hare wired into all of us. When you get angry, your sympathetic nervous system causes certain biological and physiological changes occur within your bodies. For example, the heart rate will begin to increase, blood pressure goes up, more adrenaline gets pumped into your body, and your hormones go out of control. In this sense, anger is a genetically based response to a threatening situation.
The power of communication is what the listener does with the message, not what the message does to the listener. Messages, stories, speeches, movies and advertisements that move people deeply do not do so because they are powerful in themselves. They do so because they touch the audience's most desired wants, most cherished values or even the things they dislike most. They evoke responses that are already in the listener, they don't put them there.

There is a story about a little girl who suffered from a serious disease. Her best chance of recovery would be to receive a blood transfusion from her five-year old brother. The doctor explained the situation to the little brother. He asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. The young boy hesitated for a brief moment. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save my sister's life." During the transfusion, the boy lay in the

Living things (like you) communicate instinctively and intentionally to reduce current discomforts ("needs"). The most poweful of six universal communication needs is to gain and keep *respect*. How would you define "respect" to an average 10-year old? As you know, there are two sources of our sense of respect (worthiness and value): (a) ourselves ("self respect"), and (b) other people. Our vital senses of "self-esteem" and "self love" are powerfully shaped by self and social respect. We unconsciously notice different "respect zones" about ourselves and each other - e.g.

We live in a fast paced world, and we all experience some degree of stress at times. Over the years, I have found that patients who are grateful deal more effectively with the stressors associated with living with chronic pain, which is pain that has lasted more than three months.

I am sure that you have heard many people say that you can never expect to achieve any level of sustainable success, unless you accept 100 % responsibility for your life. For most of us, accepting 100 % responsibility for everything, both negative and positive in our lives, is a really difficult concept to embrace. We look at our lives and still feel like victims, where it feels impossible that we are responsible for things over which we feel like we had no control.
You may remember these words from a popular song in the eighties. How many of you have woken up in the early hours and let your fears wash over you?

I often hear people (including therapists) say that Swedish Massage is ”Fluff Massage”. That is a very sad misnomer. Swedish Massage has very important therapeutic value. I cringe when I hear new therapists being encouraged to use extremely deep pressure when performing massage. It almost seems like a matter of pride. Sadly, some clinic and spa owners take advantage of this naivete. Unfortunately for both clients and therapists an emphasis seems to be placed on techniques that use deep pressure on the muscle tissue.

Following on from time management skills, do we actually have time for leisure activities? It is questionable whether anyone plans to have leisure time, or whether you are like me; you just grab it now and again, when someone offers you a hike up the “Grouse Grind” or something else active and you feel it is OK to take some time off! So what do you do when you do have some leisure time off? Do you want to do something active that challenges your physical stamina? Or do you just want to pamper yourself and make yourself feel better, with something like a therapeutic massage?

Do you find yourself feeling like you “deserve” the guilt you are harboring inside of you? Are you more accepting of others’ mistakes than you are of your own?
