Do You Have the Mindset of a Winner? Being a winner is a choice, not a condition of your circumstances. Winners take responsibility for the life they created. When you are a true winner, you are living a fully engaged life. In our experience at CRG, that is achievable only when you are living your purpose. Are You Easily Offended and Quick to Anger Is it just me or have you noticed increased in-your-face attitude from others? Easily offended and quick-to-anger individuals are out of control. Are you easily offended and quick to anger? Here's Help! The Tyrrany of Political Correctness The premise now seems to be that ANYONE found to be offended by anything can stand on the platform of political correctness. This means any selfish, self-serving person or special-interest group with a victim mentality can use political correctness to oppress those with differing opinions or points of view. Building a Winning Team Takes Skill and Courage! When a team member -- no matter how gifted -- does not fit into the corporate environment, he or she will erode the performance of the entire team. That has been proven many times in the sports world where a talented individual’s primadona attitude can disrupt the whole team. High Performance Management Model the behavior you want others to exhibit and lead the team through the process. " Show me -- don’t talk about it." Performance research indicates that the most effective way to improve, correct, or change behaviors is through on-the-job, real-life immediate feedback, as soon as possible after the event and as respectfully as you can. The Gift of Feedback Feedback is an important strategy in any organizational or professional development process. Making a Real Difference in People's Lives The privilege of really making a difference in someone else’s life is granted to those who have their own stuff together. Will You Get Over Yourself - Please Concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself; seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others; arising from concern with one's own welfare or advantage in disregard of others; genetic material solely concerned with its own replication. If I Had Wanted Your Opinionm I Would Have Asked For It What would your life or business look like if you changed it to fit everyone’s (in many cases unsolicited) opinions? You certainly would not be living your purpose. Can You Let Go of Your Negative Thoughts and Events? Being negative is an activity that gets the attention of others. We see this behavior in poorly parented children as young as age 2. If acting up is the only way they can get attention, guess what they do? Adults act up, too. Reject the Victim Mentality When the victim card is played, the victim is trying to shift the onus for the condition of the person or group onto outside influences. That suggests the victim has played no role in creating the situation and that he or she has no power to change it. Are You Living an Authentic or a Fake Life? Use your discretion. Don’t whine about everything that doesn’t meet your needs, but stop representing fake positions or thoughts. They don’t benefit anyone -- especially you. Decreasing Clutter and Chaos You might argue that clutter does not have a negative effect on you, but let me challenge that thought. Imagine you are going to see your doctor, dentist, or medical specialist. His office is clean but cluttered with files and instruments that reflect a state of general chaos. What is your confidence level for that professional? Not very high, right? Replacing Rage with Composure Since our behaviors always reflect the law of duality, rage is the absence of calmness, harmony, tranquility, or peace. Rage and being completely calm cannot co-exist in the same person at the same time. How Do You Respond to Your Circumstances? Throughout history, great accomplishments have been achieved in spite of circumstances. If everything were easy to do, we wouldn’t use "great" and "accomplishment" together to describe a situation. Great accomplishments are so named because of the intensity of the circumstances and the ability of the individual to overcome them. The Perils of Procrastination What has your lack of action (procrastination) cost you in lost opportunities and/or experiences? For most of us, the price is far greater than we expect and, in many cases, the desired action is never started, engaged, or completed. Secrets of Success "What I lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know... The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wished me to do... to find the idea for which I can live and die." -Soren Kierkegaard The Secrets of Success The Gift of Forgiveness The greatest benefit of forgiveness goes to the person giving it -- not receiving it. The definition states to "give up" means to release. The fact of the matter is that the harboring of resentment or bitterness affects our physical, emotional, and mental health -- not the offender. The Case for Courage The current condition and state of our lives have been strongly influenced by our choices. Those choices -- consciously or unconsciously -- were directed by our level of courage/confidence. Without courage, what are we giving up, missing, avoiding, not resolving, not doing, not starting, not embracing, or not changing? Self-Worth - Your Success Depends On It Even though our society seems to be restrained in discussions about Self-Worth, it needs to be included as part of everybody’s success plans and strategies. It already affects all of us -- in a negative, neutral, or positive way -- so let’s include Self-Worth as part of our awareness program.
