It depends. Under the very best circumstances everyone can profit and have fun. In the worst case scenarios friendships end and family members become estranged. Somewhere in between are the awkward Thanksgivigings and social functions when there is tension and conflict inside the partnership. If you are thinking about starting a business with a friend or a family member this Podcast could be the best use of 11 minutes you could make to help identify and focus on the predictors for success. The tools and concepts introduced will help your partnership get off to a solid start. I had so much fun hosting a webinar to share some of the tools I normally only share with my clients.

OK, the body changes and ages with time. The spirit does not. I love the message Isabel Allende shares about living a passionate life in this TedTalk. At 71, she is living a full, passionate life. I agree with her perspective about retirement. It's a choice, And I look to my retirement with excitement. For me, It isn't about stopping. It's about choosing what I will create each day. In truth, it's an extension of my life as it is now. Dr. Brene Brown says vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage. In this engaging follow up to her first TED Talk in Houston the year before (see previous post) she throws an important stake in the ground. Executives please take note. Dr. Brown goes on the record to say vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. Dr. Brene Brown rocked the world in 2010 with her TED Talk Houston. At the time of this post, Dr. Brown's TED Talk has been viewed almost 15 million times. Her brilliant discussion about shame and vulnerability highlights how our experience at work is impacted by our personal sense of worthiness and our willingness to be vulnerable. Our willingness to let ourselves be seen creates an amazing experience! Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, talks about our individual, beloved vocation and the importance of embracing it. Elizabeth challenges us to think about what we love in this world more than we love ourselves. The thing we can dedicate ourselves to with a singular devotion. What is your vocation? Ever wondered if you can change your experience at work without changing jobs? And how working with a coach could help? Check out this video book review by motivational speaker Lakeisha McKnight. In the interest of full disclosure Lakeisha is reviewing our first book, Teacher's Pet: Clarity, Choice and Action. Enjoy! |
