FEARLESS & MINDFUL POWER
Performance Consulting – Creating Positive Motivation
We often wish we could have a more positive influence on others (if you’ve ever coached, managed employees or raised teenagers — or if you’re a kid living with your parents — I’ll bet you get this)! There are ways to say things that will increase their positive impact. Here’s an example of how one amazing comment changed my life.
Mindfulness Includes Acceptance. Judgments Don’t.
Sufism (wisdom) is considered a pathway to truth. The judgments we make aren’t always truths. But by thinking them, they may become our false truth.

Decision Making Biggest Leadership Decision Ever Made
Do you make great decisions under pressure? Great football quarterbacks, such as Tom Brady, quickly read a defense and decide which receiver to throw to. Great salespeople, such as Sara Quick, land the largest new accounts by being creative — like selling to businesses their companies usually don’t serve. Great leaders, such as Harry Truman, the 33rd president of the United States, make decisions that affect the lives of innumerable people, such as dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II.
How To Gain Confidence Giving and Receiving Compliments
Strengthening and weakening confidence is very complex, yet there’s one simple way to build it: openly accept compliments.
