    How to Crash - Proof Your Job Search
    Think you have the speed, endurance, and know-how to fix what’s broken? Bet not. The smartest people in the world are those who can leave their ego at the door, and know when its wise to seek help.Since crashes are usually preventable, when is it a good time to seek professional assistance…before or after the disaster? Talk to local firehouse or police headquarters and they’ll chant the mantra, “Prevention rules.” Smarter to avert the fire or crime, rather than fight it later. It costs much more after-the-fact. Same goes for your job search.• Gain better, faster exposure to opportunity and decision makers by setting a career foundation that’s heavy on target marketing.• Provide personalized solutions to em

  • Each activity is purposeful: Reaction precedes instinctive knowing on how to best contribute especially in organizations predisposed to doing before looking. Being purposeful requires shared or at least clear intent. Effort is focused on creating results.
  • Team members support each other: Frequently, people make decisions and take action without considering others or consequence undermining rather than support trust and team.
  • Understanding of the subtle signals in body language, energy that inform when and where to step in: Whole body listening is essential to hear what is not being said by customers, employees and co-workers to sense the underlying values that impact an individual's performance.

    Creative Offline Marketing - Part V
    Volunteer – Besides making you feel good about helping a worthy cause, it’s a great way to network if you can volunteer where you come into contact with prospects (or people who have frequent contact with your prospects).Unusual Places for Ads – I should say “unused places.” Wherever a space is zoned for advertising and it’s blank, there’s an opportunity to get your message out. The side of a van. The side of a dumpster. Wherever.Be an In-house Speaker – Besides getting great fees to appear and speak, you establish yourself as the expert. And like your free local mini-seminar, it’s a great place to pitch your products and services.In-house Presentations – JP Maroney talked about the stadium pitch on our call. I believe he
    The signals to raise the bar on personal and professional skills are increasing in frequency:

    • The need to assist managers coming from a technical skill base to move to an interpersonal skill base in order to facilitate a healthy working environment for productivity and innovation.
    • The need for smooth succession between outgoing leader and emerging leaders.
    • The need to utilize the limited window of opportunity to benefit from the extensive experience of long standing employees mixed effectively with the energy and insight of youth in working teams and relationships.
    • The need for old ways of doing the work to expand into new territory with a red carpet pathway of least resistance.
    • The opportunity to apply an expanded way of seeing and deeper level of sensitivity to facilitating natural innovation at all moments.
    The skills required to create a workplace where people want to work and where the organization can achieve its purpose are parallel, portable, overt and covert as are career paths. For example, the capacity to be fully present and engaged in the task at hand is as relevant to the improv actor as it is to the project manager. Trust in interpersonal wisdom and group leadership is as pertinent to theatre as it is to teams. The practice of channeling skills into exclusive silos of application is dead.

    The skills and talents you use in your personal life are equally applicable to professional life. As obvious as that seems the cultural context may not be receptive so blocking, a term used in improv for denying a reality. By day you are a working professional; by night an actor or work with horses, for example. Your day job will most likely engage predominantly linear analytical thinking. Your night's creative practice, in theatre or working with horses, is the place where leadership skills are being practiced in a team setting. The opportunity is to bridge the application between night and day to expand the benefit of the learning to leadership performance.

    To successfully build the bridge across gaps in communication, generation, and leadership demands that covert skills become overt, deepened and heightened to a level of awareness where they can apply to:

    • Absorb and understand different cultural perspectives regardless of how you define or see culture;
    • Strengthen clarity of purpose, support and attunement to the subtle knowing that informs decision making and effective communication;
    • Intentionally support team performance versus unintentionally sabotaging it;
    • Strengthen your relationship with yourself so you can see and sense opportunities that lie outside of your peripheral vision;
    • Eliminate the need to control others and step into the opportunity to co-collaborate and co-create.
    • Readily identify the systems and processes that are impeding group effort;
    • Readily identify the currents of thinking that block or support innovation.
    Theatrical improvisation techniques and equine facilitated learning are both portals for experiencing the process of deepening and integrating learning. Both serve to amplify the deeper skills required to navigate the diversity of thinking and perspectives, situations, and the need for a wide angle lens to see the big picture and its component parts.

    Over use of the analytical mind has separated and isolated the parts of the big picture so that the focus is limited and often rigid. This directly impedes achievement at all levels. To reveal the natural skill set and you have to get out of your mind to do it. That is where non-traditional sources of learning come into the scene.

    1. Being in the moment: Often judgments are made before the communication starts. Being present demands sensitivity and suspension of judgment allowing different options to enter perception. Relevant to apparent performance gaps and generational communication chasms.

      Industry Specific Resume Writers Considered
      Are you looking to advance your career in getting new corporate type of job? Perhaps you are looking for someone to write a resum? for you? That seems like a good idea because resum? writing is not really that easy despite what all those; how to write a resum? books say. In fact a lot of resum? writing has to do with specific industries and what those human resource directors are looking for in those types of operations.It therefore makes sense if you are looking to hire someone to write a resum? for you that you find someone who writes resum?s specifically to that industry. In fact perhaps you know how to write your own resum? and you've been in a field or industry for quite a long time.Can you imagine how well you could do

        Setting 10 Appointments Per Week Will Give You Top Results
        In the previous topic I suggested that six to eight appointments is likely enough for a week. This is true if you are meeting your clients face-to-face. Sometimes this is not possible and your meetings may be scheduled over the phone. I still like face-to-face meetings but if my client is in another city across the continent, then I am willing to work by telephone. When you schedule your meetings, you should look at only six face-to-face as the maximum and use telecommunications for the others. Phone calls definitely take a lot less time out of your day.The first time you meet with a potential customer, it should be face-to-face (if they are within a reasonable distance). This type of meeting will allow you to form a better business re

          Your Five Step Plan to Solving Career Dread
          How do you feel about your job or career? Do you truly enjoy what you do for a living? Or, are you like most people: dreading going to sleep at night, hitting the snooze button many times... barely able to face another miserable day at work?Sometimes my life coaching clients will express feeling trapped in a job that they simply don’t enjoy, or worse, dread. This happens to all kinds of people in all types of professions. It happens to people who appear to have "made it" just as often as it happens to those just starting out on their career journey. It happened to me.For a very long time, I felt trapped in a career that came with a lot of financial reward and status, yet left me unfulfilled. What I feared most was a loss of iden

No one wants to brighten the room by leaving it.
          Improvisation in theatre is a touchstone for improvisation in the workplace. By knowingly instilling the skills and practice you also instill the practices of organizational learning as mastery in action. Similarly, equine-facilitated learning offers a totally different opportunity to learn how to communicate on a deeper level and is being used effectively in leadership development, therapeutic rehab and inmate rehab. The constant connector between the two avenues of learning is the desire to deepen and connect with your own personal capacity to see and sense on a deeper level. The resulting level of self-knowledge is transformational in nature and expansive in its benefit to interpersonal communications and strengthened relationships.
