Is Confidence Really Contagious?
What are you good at and are you confident enough to share it and claim it publicly? Remember: Confidence is Contagious!
The short answer here is YOU BET! But don’t believe it just because I said so. Try your own experiment. Have you ever had a bad day? Hehe! Sure you have and how did others treat you when you had a bad day? Did you find they were eager to be around you or ran the other direction? Did that bad day come from a lack of confidence in some area or another – likely so. What about when you had a great day? As a leader, if you walk in the office feeling invincible, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and able to take everyone in your path with you to success, don’t they pick up on that? Sure they do and yes, some may ask you what caffeinated drink you had for breakfast, but for the most part, the ones who are also confident, will pick up on your unstoppable beliefs and energy and join you for the journey enthusiastically. Want to be an even more effective Contagious Leader, find a way to maintain that sense of internal belief in yourself, your gifts, values, and talents, and your own Contagious Confidence.

Do Leaders Like Themselves?
Wofford says: “The more confidence a leader has, the better leader they are for others.”
I saw a book cover recently called “The Psychology of Mindset” and it reminded me that success often begins with self-talk.

Fall, Fourth Quarter, Football and other F words.
How we handle this season almost always predicts how we will feel in the early part of 2012.
Now come on… it’s not what you’re thinking, but if you laughed or inserted your own commentary beginning with F, that might be some foreshadowing about the upcoming season. The typical fall season is where we fall back (in most states) on our clocks, prepare for anticipated fourth quarter sales and traffic, and try to work in all those fun activities with friends, families, tail gate party goers, and fellow holiday shoppers. See there, fun, fellow, friends, and family…all f words. However, how we handle this season almost always predicts how we will feel in the early part of 2012.
This is not the time to give up on goals until the year resets in January. This is not the time to coast or usually sit back and relax and just watch all the action. This is the time when we gear up, get ready, and go for it. Okay, so those are g words, but how many of them are you putting into place? Read the rest of this entry »

Is it time to free that bully up for new opportunities?
This is a longer Monday Moment than usual and actually on a concept we no longer offer in our off the shelf products and trainings, but in honor of the Labor Day Holiday in America, when many are laboring over how to get more customers in the fourth quarter, this message was requested by some of our coaching clients who found they are working with customers who provide 20% of the revenue and 80% of the challenges. Do you have any customers who might fit that mold? If so, this may help. Read the rest of this entry »
