Is that really true?

This week’s note is a little longer than usual (I try to keep it under 400 words.) I hope you agree that today’s is worth the extra 234 words.  First, I could really use your help. I am doing research, what is the one area in your business that you would most like to have an easy to use process or practice that would make your business easier? Please drop me a note! Thanks   Now, this is cool…last week, my little blurb to you was about the idea of being mindful of what we say. I got this wonderful...

Ideas to Encourage Comments of Your Blog

We recently set up a new blog for a client. She just emailed me with a good question that I thought others might like to know my thoughts on the question… Q: Hi Sharon,   How does one encourage and get people to comment on a blog?  Thanks. A: Good question, I’m sure there are many ways, here are the ways I know, first others need to know you are posting, it takes awhile when blogs are new to get recognized.  Tweet, post on facebook etc a short phrase and a "tinyurl" link to it. Send the post or a summary of the post out via email to your list and invite...

Group Dynamics

A big part of why I become a trainer is I love to inspire, motivate, and encourage people! Yet as you know, if you have ever had to manage or coach people, sometimes, we need to give feedback and possibly even manage a behavior.

What motivates people is specific behavioral feedback, and yes, they are...

A moment of back-story, I was really tired after my trip to Doylestown and helping Michael Port launch “The Think Big Manifesto.” I’m not sure why as I like to think I work hard every day but for some reason after this trip I was burned out. Now don’t get me wrong, throughout that week, I learned and experienced so much, it is priceless. And I just love Michael, Julie, and the whole rest of the wonderful crew yet, to be honest, I was burned-out. There was no candle left to burn either end. So, back to finding what you need when you need it… There is an auto mechanic...

Some chips fly, most splat

Well, it finally happened. As many of you know, I challenge myself to do something I have never done before for my birthday.  My birthday came and went a month ago…. Sunday, my sister, Linda and her husband, Lowell decided for me… they "kidnapped" me and off we went on an adventure. Lowell is an amateur competitor in sporting clay and skeet events, so what better thing to learn then the fine art of sporting clay, skeet and trap. A couple of times, I even hit two in a row. Woo Hoo!  Yet, for every good shot, a bunch went "splat," sometimes business opportunities...
