Trump's Biz Tips
by Jane-Michèle Clark
Donald Trump spoke in Toronto this past weekend, offering a side not usually seen on “The Apprentice”. I’ve always admired his accomplishments and tenacity – and respected his business acumen. After hearing Trump speak, however, I realized that I also really like him. He was funny, irreverent (perhaps a quality best appreciated by entrepreneurs) and down-to-earth. He wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is – and didn’t worry about the “political correctness” that hamstrings too much of our conversation and writings these days...

Investing in Your Summer Interns
by Jenny Pang
If your summer intern’s head were a room and you climbed into it, you’d have to duck to avoid being hit by the questions whizzing about. I still remember stepping out of the padded walls of my not-so-distant youth; it was a vertiginous journey of self disc...

How to Change
by Louise L. Hay
“I cross bridges with joy and with ease.”
I love “how to’s.” All the theory in the world is useless unless we know how to apply it and make a change. I have always been a very pragmatic, practical person with a great need to know how to do things.
The principles we will be working with at this time are:
Nurturing the willingness to let go Controlling the mind, and Learning how forgiveness of self and others releases us. ...

Act in Spite of Fear
by T. Harv Eker
The formula for manifestation in our physical universe is known to be "thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions, which lead to results." Most people have plenty of thoughts and feelings, but the breakdown for many seems to be ability to take "action." The culprit, of course, is |

What Makes a Good Friend?
by Nettie Bozanich
I have been struggling with the following question: What makes a good friend? A certainly viable answer is someone who is caring, patient, kind, and accepting. But somehow, I was not satisfied with that answer. It was too plain and did not go to the heart of why some friendships last and others die. I needed more so I searched and waited for an answer.
In the thinking process, I considered why I stopped speaking to some friends or they stopped speaking to me....

The Scientific Process Behind Making Wishes Come True
by Mark Victor Hansen
I've told people thousands of times that they've just go to ask for what they want. And I find that most people only have one problem with this directive . . . They don't KNOW what they want!
You can't ask for what you want unless you know what it is! In this exercise, I'm going to start you on a wonderful path of painting your dreams into reality. I'm going to teach you the secrets behind setting - and achieving - your greatest ambitions. ...

Motivating Your Workforce Toward High Performance
by Gregory P. Smith
Money may attract employees to the front door, but something else has to keep them from going out the back. Managing people takes an entirely different approach than it did just a year ago. Managers and supervisors must place equal importance on employee development as they do on customer satisfaction and retention. Today's workers don’t just expect a paycheck, but good employees also want personal fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment....

People Lie All The Time . . . And They Don't Even Know It!
by Jan Tincher
Did you know that WORDS are only 7% of your communication? TONALITY is 38% of your communication.
In case you don't know exactly what tonality is, say something to yourself out loud. Now, say the same thing with excitement. Now, drama. That's the tone of your voice that is changing each time. It's your voice inflection, your tonality. Can you guess what the other 55% of our communication is? That's...

Wishing For More Time Gets You Nowhere
by Wendy Hearn
Do you find yourself wishing you had more time? Do you hope that one day things will be different and you'll have all the time you want? It's very easy to say this, but the acid test is whether you're willing to do something about it. Wishing and hoping are passive and don't move you towards what you say you want. Action is what's required if you're really committed to spending your time in the way you choose....

10 Tips for Building Bonds with Your Kids
by Jane-Michèle Clark
I just listened to the message that my youngest (14) left on my voicemail for me to hear when I got to work today. Sensing (correctly) that I was nervous about an upcoming meeting, she had left me a pep talk that left me smiling and grateful (once again) that she is in my life. As I reflected on the special connection we share, I was reminded that the bonds we build with our children when they are little, really will last a lifetime. T...

Once Upon a Time, an Angel...

This is a true story of the power of love to transform, heal and restore the human heart. Love brings, not only joy, peace and all good things, but it is sometimes accompanied with pain and sorrow. Perhaps, you, too, have an angel who walks with you.

Extraordinary People ... in Mediocre Times
by Edward B. Toupin
My grandfather used to speak of the days when people drove the world. It was a time when people were proud to contribute and move society and industry forward at full steam. But, people were proud of themselves! However, before he died, one of his observations was that "we have come to mediocre times." ...

Peace Begins in Your Heart
by Peter Shepherd
Current events have demonstrated a tremendous desire, on the behalf of perhaps the majority of people in the world, for peace in their lives. They are no longer satisfied with the mentality of political conflict, which endangers economic progress and human rights and freedoms. But most importantly, I feel that many people are now aware that if we want peace in the world, first we need to make peace with our own lives. It is human nature that needs to change, and we are capable of making ...

Today's Upsets are Tomorrow's Laughs
by Allen Klein
In looking for humor, keep in mind this guideline: Sometimes it takes a little time to see the humor in your upsets; you may not find something to laugh about immediately.
H. G. Wells once said, "The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow." Some of our most trying moments turn into laughing matter when we look back at them. Things that seemed unbearable at one time often turn out, in hindsight, to somehow have humor in them after all.
