As usual, everything is perfect on Tomorrowland's superhighway." I've known several people who worked for Disney, all the way from people who worked during their senior year in high school to people who actually helped them desig Disney World, Las Vegas and some of the attractions there, and obviously in Orlando.

The Psychopathology of the Average "If we want to know how fast a human being can run, then it is no use to average out the speed of a good "sample" of the population; it is far better to collect Olympic gold medal winners and see how well they can do...the highest possibilities of human nature have practically always been underrated... Certainly it seems more clear that what we call 'normal' in psychology is really a psychopathology of the average, so undramatic and so wide

Never cease control. The biggest challenge as an entrepreneur you are going to go into is trying to cease your control as a leader. Sometimes, we find ourselves giving some people control. We bring them into our space. All of a sudden, they suck all our energy. They take too much power and end up abusing it. When you get a person who has never been in power, and give them too much of it, they end up misusing the right. I think you can see in the high levels of torture reporte

We like to first do the things that we enjoy. And, we leave behind the things or pay very little attention to things that we don’t like or enjoy doing. That’s the general human tendency. We would rather like to be in the comfort zone than the pain curve. But do you know what is the secret to being happy in life? It is to “seek what is painful first”. As ironic as it may sound, there is a scientific reason to do so. Prioritize pain first in your day

Positive affirmations have been proven to be very effectual and the best way of helping oneself. This is one way of upgrading yourself to higher levels.

Competition is one of the many inevitable things that occur in a workplace. Almost everybody has his or her eyes on some position and many will stop at nothing to get it.

We’ve all heard the term "CEO" for Chief Executive Officer or COO for Chief Operating Officer or maybe CFO for Chief Financial Officer. Yes, those are all titles that are typically used simply to give someone a feeling of significance or to define a person’s status in a corporate pyramid. I’m here to tell you that those titles are a waste of time. You don’t need a title to prove who you are or to put limitations on your strengths or to confine you to societal opinions. The m

We as humans have always known that good and bad as absolute entities is a flawed concept. There is goodness and badness in different proportions in different biotic and non biotic things. Yet we choose the blissful ignorance and wait for the good to come to our existence and irradiate the roots of bad. Depots every cell and every bone of your tiny existence tells you otherwise you choose to believe. That kind of belief is what guided us humans to great discoveries and invent

Grief is everywhere! Our experience with COVID 19 has and continues to bring us grief. In my business coaching practice and in my own life grief is at the forefront. Grief is the loss of normal. Grief is the death of something. In the businesses I collaborate as well as many others I know all of us are dealing with grief. What was normal, the way we did things is gone. And when there is a loss of normal it is replaced by fear. We are grieving because we are fearful about th

“Some often, when I talk or deal with others, I walk into an epicurean world where I become demanding and dictate terms of life for the others. I have often wondered why this happens; though it lasts a few very moments, for sure, it does happen. Is it an affliction? Am I neurotic?” Not so very meaningful words on the first read, but thought-provoking on a second. This is an average human being that has not lost a sense of reasoning when confronted with someone otherwise. Somewhere across memory’s lane, those lines sparked a thought.

The term affirmation is more thought to exist within New Age and New Thought philosophy, where the practice of positive thinking or even a mental attitude that has been positioned to thinking positively is fairly well known and promoted.

How many of you set some “ resolutions” for the New Year? Let us call them what they are “ goals ”, resolutions for many is a way to say you are going to do something but if the action is not given to it then it is forgotten with little or no consequences to ourselves because after all it is just a resolution, right?

A couple of years ago, I presented Your Talent Advantage, the psychological assessment and business development system I helped to create, to a networking group. I thought the focus of the talk was pretty straightforward: the major points behind Perceptual Style Theory (on which our assessments are based), the six innate Perceptual Styles, natural skills versus acquired skills, and how you’re more likely to succeed when you focus on the former.

The only real measure of business leadership is results.nnThis requires the ability to act boldly with no guarantees of success. The greatest obstacle to overcome is fear of the unknown.nn The Key to Confidence nMost fear however, is rooted in ignorance. The more knowledge or skill you have in any area, the less fear it holds. Napoleon Bonaparte is considered by historians to be perhaps the greatest single military leader who ever lived. More than 100,000 books have been writ

Abraham Lincoln had an uncanny ability to predict behavior. For example, when Lincoln was President, he told one of his associates how every member of Congress would vote on a particular bill. To make the point, he wrote down what their votes would be. Sure enough, when the votes were tallied, Lincoln was on target for virtually every vote cast. rn rnHow did he do this?rn rnNo magic or superhuman powers were involved.

The office was really sparse. All it had was your basic office furniture and set up. There was no decoration, no pictures of any kind.

There are six distinct Perceptual Styles that characterize the ways the different people see the world. On the surface, some of these styles look more creative than others—but creativity is not a Perceptual Style quality, it’s a human quality.

Intuition is not just a mystical and entertaining, topical, religious, or female kind of feeling. No, no, no—intuition is our consciousness guiding us, telling us what it knows to be right. Hey, everybody's got an opinion, and there are certain systems set up. For instance, you grow up, get a ...

As Peter Drucker puts it, “We live in an economy where knowledge, not buildings and machinery, is the chief resource and where knowledge-workers make up the biggest part of the work force.”nnThe Internet has triggered an explosion of knowledge and information.

Being a strong woman is a hard job. You have to deal with criticism maturely and stay true to yourself and your feelings at the same time. The only way to deal with this effectively is to have confidence in who you are. Confidence itself isn’t just feeling good about yourself and the way you look, although that helps. Having confidence is about feeling strongly about your opinions, valuing yourself and what you do. Confidence is your own eternal gratefulness for just being

If you are a Champion (and you are), then you will be promoted to greater and higher realms of leadership. Life has a way of elevating true Champions. Just as cream rises to the top of milk, true Champions rise to the top of companies, projects, and great events. When that happens, old relationships fall away. It can be emotional and difficult, but it’s part of the price of leadership. Champions must be separated from the crowd before they can be elevated into prominence. I only hang out with Champions.

As you turn on the water faucet to fill the coffee maker container you notice the cat’s water bowl needs filling. You scoop up t

Common sense, as well as academic research argue that attacking bigger competitors will most likely lead to failure. Take for example, a series of studies undertaken at London Business School in the early 1990s which examined how new market entrants in several UK industries fared against much bigger established competitors. Not surprisingly, the failure rate of “newbies” was quite high. More than 85% of them failed within 5 years of entry. The No.1 ranked firm in a partic
