Through individual journeys of personal development, people are able to pinpoint the things that bring them closer to achievement and suc

"Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as you mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve!" - Mary Kay Ash In my daily role as a business leader of various organisations I always like to challenge the people I’m working together with. Whether they are direct reports, team members, fellow leaders, clients or friends; I like to fire questions at them to challenge them. Not only to give myself a better underst

Oprah Winfrey– “If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.” —“Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that’s not meant to be.” Oprah Winfrey– “Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.” Oprah Winfrey– “If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

All of our senses - sight, sound, touch, taste and smell, gather information and send this information for processing to our brains. Our brains receive thousands of pieces of information every second. This is where your reticular activating system (RAS) comes in, your RAS is a small group of cells at the base of your brain stem.

A saying that you’ve probably heard a lot in business, in sports, and human performance in general is controlling the controllable. What does that actually mean? I wanted to take this concept of controlling the controllable, which is actually really good advice by the way, and take it out of the realm of being a cliché and into the realm of something that we can actually do. In our workshops we’ll use something called the CIA Model to help students gain understanding of this concept and reduce stress in their own lives.

Goal Setting involves establishing specific, measurable and time targeted objectives.

It doesn’t have to be a New Year's resolution for one to set goals pertaining to their health and fitness. While participating in regular exercise, losing weight, and eating right are much easier said than done, it is suggested that setting goals in this department should become a gradual process.

In 1953, researchers at Yale University polled the graduating class and found that 3% of the graduates had a set of clearly defined written goals.

Start by setting some realistic goals which form part of your larger goal, ones you know you can achieve. The goal can be as simple as putting 15 minutes aside tom

(1.) They take time to determine what they truly want and how to get it. Any sensible and mature person has his own idea of what he wants most out of life. People who set goals hold mental pictures of what they would like to materialize before their very eyes.

A high school student who wants to put herself through college will study hard to win a scholarship.

I was driving around last week listening to a guy named Andy Andrews in my car, and he said something that hit me right between the eyes. Mr. Andrews (author of the book The Traveler’s Gift) was saying that if he was allowed only 1 minute on stage and one thing to say that would change someone’s life, it would be an easy decision for him to know what to cover. He said his advice would be to: SMILE WHILE YOU TALK That’s it- crazy, huh? Seems so simple, but it’s such a common denominator.
