Practical Steps to Success #14: What Makes a Good Leader?
I attended a course last week about Leadership and the question was posed, “What makes a good leader?”
It is nearly impossible to answer this question with only a few words.
Taking on a leadership role is also taking responsibility for our actions, regardless of our job position. We are all accountable for the quality of leadership we choose to adopt. Many young mangers and department supervisors are rising stars…
Practical Steps to Success #10: Watch those EMF’s
Who would have thought 10 years ago; we’d be walking around with a devise in our hands that can tell time,
take a picture, play a tune, type a note and call a friend… all at the same time!
As the technology to improve our lives is growing with leaps and bounds, so are the potential risks.
Electro-magnet Field Radiation (EMF’s) is apparent in many of our new devices. Different than plug-in…

Clean up: Seriously. Clean the big stuff; your closets, windows and doorways. Then clean the little stuff; your inbox, desk drawers, your car, and above all –your purse and wallet.
Replace: Any…
Practical Steps to Success #8: Recognize the Dance of Destruction
I met with a client a few months ago; we discussed his business, his trials and setbacks. His long term goals were very vague.
He was more interested in immediate ‘cash flow’ right now than planning and saving for the future.
After talking for about two hours, he decided to ‘give it one more year’.
So, what does that really mean? It means, he is not going to change a…
If there is a solution to the problem, there’s no need to worry!
Practical Steps to Success #6: Avoid the Train Wreck
Let’s face it, our lives are busy. Without any effort, our sub-conscious picks up so much “extra stuff” to process.
“Extra stuff” translates into stress. Too much stress can overload your brain.
Stress reduction is SO important, and it is not so easy; whether you are commuting, meeting friends or actually trying to work. Your brain is gathering…

Practical Steps for Success # 5: The Vision

Practical Steps for Success #3 : Want to Act Like a Pro? Jump in!
Have you known someone that ‘all of a sudden’ jumps into a new hobby/sport and goes out to spend wildly on ‘the outfit’, the tools and all the bells?
Have you ever seen something so crazy? Well, the ‘jumping in’ attitude shows THEY ARE COMMITTED! It can be crazy, expensive, and it can be a surprise to watch. In reality, something has changed: they are trying…
Fire People have Energy to Burn
Do you remember the last time you were really passionate about something? It could have been something quiet; perhaps a breath-taking view of the lake? Or, more emotional; such as standing up for someone who was falsely accused?
The fire element, in feng shui, is represented by the colour red and generally shows up in the Fame or Wealth areas of the home. These areas of your home are definitely hot, as they also…
Wealth and abundance are measured different by everyone. Wealth, in terms of feng shui, speaks of luck, fortune and abundance.
These things won’t materialize without some sort of effort on our part; fortunes don’t fall out of the sky very often.
We need to define what we are seeking in order to find what we are looking for. Luck, fortune and abundance can be found in many forms.
In order to change something in our lives, we need to…
Life is more than the routine work/home/sleep cycle. Whether we realize it or not, our lives are sorted into a plethora of accountabilities; personal areas, health and family, children, relationships, creative hobbies, spiritual growth, continuing education and learning, domestic chores, holidays, crisis management, hockey or soccer games and personal recreation. This is a lot to maintain! For personal growth and optimum health one needs to find the balance.
Feng shui has a tool called the ba-gua, which divides the life…
