• The work-life balance

    Balance. It’s a nice word but the reality is hard to pin down. It may not even put us on the right track in our 21st-century quest for fulfillment and happiness. In this article we will talk about the integration of work and family life, beginning not with the workplace and the employer’s role in sorting things out, but with the person and her priorities.

    Generally, when people talk about the work-life balance they mean the challenge of managing their family commitment when they’ve got children while juggling the demands of a career. That’s the traditional focus, but the concept has evolved quite a bit. There are now many younger people in the workforce, in their late 20s and early 30s, who may not even have a home or family but they want a sense of balance in their life.

    Often we are thinking of some sort of perfection, where nothing is out of place, there’s no stress, and this of course is unrealistic. It automatically means a trade-off between work and life. If I give more time to my family I won’t be able to do my job properly, or if I spend more time on the job my family will suffer. Yet I want to be able to have it all, to do it all, right now.

    Let’s think about integration, which means bringing the various pieces of our lives into a cohesive whole. We each have many roles, goals, responsibilities, and life plans. We have to get it together. The attractive idea of finding ways to bring life into unity will give us the harmony and happiness we seek.

    Experience shows what people who have very clear priorities and their own clear definition of success succeed best at balancing their lives. They know what’s most important in their lives. These are people who can say before it happens: If I have to make a choice, if work and family come head to head, I know what my biggest priority is. People who realize it may have slowed their career for a period of time, perhaps while a child is younger, and have a less demanding job so they can have more time at home. And they can be at peace with that because their definition of success is not necessarily the one that society tells them.

    Usually, we have to just go through life and let the new promotion or the new demands of the job dictate what we do, to feel we don’t have a choice. This is not a balanced life road. We need to stop and reflect, communicate more with your husband, your wife, your manager at work, and basically be more proactive.

    Today’s truth is that we have too much to do. Technology has changed things and made people accessible 24 hours a day, encroaching on the peaceful time people used to have. Yet some things don’t change. We still have 24 hours a day. We all have the same amount of time and how we use it comes down to a personal choice.

    The disorganization traits usually come from avoiding the choice and trying to do too much. Even a simple thing like, What are we going to have for dinner tonight? can become a huge job if we feel, Oh, I have a lot of work and will not be able to do grocery shopping. Obviously, if we have the knowledge and skills to make something simpler then we’re going to gain more time.

    For balanced life planning and other basic management skills have to be used at home as well as in the workplace. One of the reasons why many people prefer going out to work to working at home is that we’re very organized in the workplace, we use time management there, and then we come home and just ride the waves, consuming ourselves with the latest problem that has cropped up.

    However, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to go out to work. We do need multiple interests to enrich our lives and many times we have talents that we need to give to the workplace and to the world. But it is true that work on the job is often more attractive because it is more project-oriented and very linear, and at the end of that piece of work we get the praise and a sense of accomplishment, whereas at home every day it’s the same thing.

    Advertisements

    Human beings have certain basic needs that have to be taken care of every day, and although we can feel a sense of accomplishment that we have organized something at home, it’s soon going to be dirtied again, or another meal is going to have to be put on the table. And this means changing your sense of where you get your satisfaction – not just from accomplishing the task or from the process of doing it, but from the motive.

    We are all expecting a reward or praise for completed work. Lack of reward will kill our desire to work what leads to reduced productivity. This is why we prefer working for others than doing something for ourselves. Promise yourself a reward for completing each task or finishing the total job. For example, let yourself watch an interesting movie when you finish developing a page or new promotion plan.

  • Leadership – Do We Know What It Is?  4 Pointers To Start You On The Road To Becoming A Leader

    A great deal of work has been done by many authors and researchers in trying to identify and define “leadership”. The vast body of research has focused on leadership traits, habits, competencies, behaviors, styles, values, skills, and characteristics. Dave Ulrich (Ulrich, D et al, Results-Based Leadership, Harvard Business Press, Boston, 1999) categorized much of the research into:

    • Who leaders are – values, motives, personal traits
    • What leaders know – knowledge, skills and abilities
    • What leaders do – behaviours, habits, styles and competencies
    Advertisements

    However, when one looks at the vast body of research into leadership, it is mostly concerned with: – the inputs of leadership and leaders, – not the outputs – ie. what leaders achieve.

    Two significant factors have led to a great deal of confusion around the issue of “leadership” and the definition of leadership itself.

    Firstly, many authors erroneously use “leadership” and “management” interchangeably as if they were the same thing.

    Secondly, a great deal of the research into leadership has been with people who are informal organizational positions (e.g. supervisors, managers, senior executives) – the inference being that leadership is an integral part of the formal management role (Parry, K.W., Leadership Research: Themes, Implications, and a new Leadership Challenge, Leadership Research and Practice, Warriewood 1996).

    The experience in designing, developing, and implementing management and leadership development programs, processes and interventions over the last twenty years has led to the development of The Leadership Benchmark, a 360 developmental tool for leaders and aspiring leaders. Much of the initial research emanated from focus groups of key stakeholders (participants, peers, managers, staff, customers, suppliers, etc) conducted as part of these development initiatives and the subsequent follow-up interviews, coaching sessions, and evaluation processes and forums.

    In developing The Leadership Benchmark, it is clearly delineated that:

    • Leadership is different from and distinct to, management – it does NOT necessarily occur as part of a formal management position
    • Leadership is contextual and therefore has to do with outputs (what the leader achieves) as much as what the leader is or does (inputs)

    1. Leadership vs Management

    Almost 100 years ago, Mary Parker Follett described a manager as “one who gets things done through people”. This description is still used by management educators and scholars today, but in my opinion should be changed to: “one who gets the things done that are described by the organization in the manager’s role or position description, through the people they have been assigned”. My contention is that, if you are a manager, then:

    • You become a manager when you sign on for the job
    • You only become a leader when your people say so

    So, you get given the title of “manager” from the organization and people will do things for you (either well or not so well depending on how well you manage them) because of WHAT you are not WHO you are. Only your people (your team, the people you manage) can give you the title of “leader”.

    In other words, the organization gives you your “corporate” manager’s hat that lets everyone in the organization know that you are officially a manager. Then, your people, when they believe in you, give you your leadership badge, your badge of honor!

    Dennis Pratt (Pratt, D., Aspiring to Greatness – Above and Beyond Total Quality Management, Business & Professional Publishing, Sydney 1994) gave the clear distinction between leadership and management that has assisted the research in developing The Leadership Benchmark. This distinction is described as:

    • Leading: Leadership occurs at all levels of the organization. The essence of leadership is concerned with creating the following conditions that encourage others to follow:

    • A shared understanding of the environment.
    • A shared vision of where we are going.
    • A shared set of organisational values.
    • A shared feeling of power.

    • Managing: While the leadership function is “big picture” the management function, on the other hand, has a narrower focus. Leavitt described leadership, as “pathfinding” while management was “path minding”. Management is situational and involves:

    • Getting things done (task focus)
    • Through people (relationship focus).
    1. Leadership is contextual and is concerned with outputs

    The Leadership Benchmark focuses purely on the following four outputs achieved in any particular organizational context by the leader:

    • A shared understanding of the environment.
    • A shared vision of where we are going.
    • A shared set of organisational values.
    • A shared feeling of power.

    Whereas many other (quite legitimate) management 360 tools focus on the management function. Managers who aspire to be leaders, therefore, need more than the feedback they might get from a normal 360 managerial profile.

    1. If you are a manager, what does this mean for you?

    Anyone in the organization can become a “leader” irrespective of their formal organizational position. Just because you have a formal title of “manager” does not mean you are a leader. So for example when a fire breaks out in the building and the brand new young employee who has just completed induction training, and who instructs people to follow the evacuation procedures impeccably, shows as much leadership as the CEO who has just announced the new corporate strategy for everyone to follow.

    Here’s a quick test to gain some indication of your status as a leader. Once you have been in your current role for say, 9 to 12 months, ask yourself “Would my people do the things I now ask them to do even if I were not their manager?” If you can truthfully answer “Yes”, then you are well on the path to becoming a leader. I suspect, that many of you will probably answer this with a “Maybe” – try not to be concerned at this, as the road to leadership is a long one, but a truly rewarding one. If you are concerned that it seems to be taking you “forever” to develop as a leader, keep in mind the experience of one of the greatest leaders of our time, Nelson Mandela who spent 27 years in prison waiting to show how he could lead his country!

    1. How to develop yourself as a leader

    Our research indicates that leaders become leaders because they do four things (at least) for us:

    1. They help us understand and make sense of our environment. So for example, when things aren’t working out or are unclear for us, they are able to explain what is happening in practical terms that we can understand.
    2. They help give us a sense of direction. They are able to paint a picture of a brighter future and help us believe that we can achieve the things we want to achieve.
    3. They give us a belief in the values that are important to us. In doing so, they make us feel part of a team of people that share these values and have the same aims.
    4. They are able to make us feel powerful by allowing us the freedom to make decisions about our life, work and the future.

    If you are looking to develop yourself as a leader, then I would suggest working with your team to put in place some strategies to achieve the four leadership outputs we have described here.

  • How To Achieve Any Goal, NOW!
    Advertisements

    1. Write down one goal that you want to achieve. Let’s not make this the grand goal of your life, something achievable in six months or so.

    2. Write down the feeling you will have when you achieve that goal…Ex. (alive, energetic, sexy, accomplished, powerful.)

    3. Write down when you will achieve the goal.

    I ask you, what is your goal? Did you say what you wrote from #1? Great, but NO, that is not your goal. #1 is never your goal, #1 is just a strategy to get #2. THAT IS YOUR GOAL, to feel a certain way.

    What we really want is the feeling that we experience (#2) when we accomplish that strategy (#1). The wonderful part about this is that you can choose to have that feeling anytime you want to have it! I don’t want to ask what you put for #3, because that tells me that you are putting feeling: alive, energetic, sexy, or whatever you said as #2, in the future. You are not allowing yourself to have it in the present moment. It’s funny because I will do this with my coaching clients and their perspective of thinking turns right around.

    QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT…

    What are we doing by denying our self this feeling?

    How does it affect us?

    How about allowing yourself to have that feeling of #2, and taking action on your goal right now? That will help accomplish what you are setting out to do. You now know that you can have that feeling anytime, it does not have to be attached to a strategy. What you hopefully have realized is what we do when we procrastinate or sit on an ambition. We are denying our-self the feeling that we want to feel because we think it is tied to a strategy. If you think about it, we give ourselves, very often, the feelings that we experience on a daily basis. We decide how we are going to feel, and then we live into it.

    Advertisements

    Write down a feeling or excuse associated with not working out? ___________ We have now DECIDED that we are too _ to workout and we live into it, rationalize it, and buy our own excuses!! What happens to your goals when YOU decide to live into the feeling of _ that you wrote above? They get put on hold and NOTHING HAPPENS.

    Imagine what would happen if EVERY morning you woke up and decided to feel what you wrote for #2? No more excuses in thinking about the strategy, let’s feel our goal every day so we can create action.

    If your goal is to feel SEXY because the strategy is to lose 20 lbs…it may be quite hard to really feel sexy when you don’t. I suggest however that the only reason you don’t feel sexy is that you BELIEVE you don’t. In order to own this feeling and make it real, we must practice feeling it every moment, every day to master it.

    TAKE ACTION

    1. On a blank piece of paper, write in large letters the word “EXPERIENCE.” Below it write in large letters what you wrote for #2.

    2. Make copies and put it everywhere to remind yourself of the feeling you want on a regular basis. Bathroom mirror, bedside, refrigerator, car, office. We are setting our self up to win.

    3. Before you go to bed, starting tonight, ask yourself…What are the top 2 things I wish to do tomorrow, in order to Experience the feeling I wrote? You need paper and pen by your bed…DON’T go to sleep without doing this or I will haunt you all night!! Write down the two actions and WHEN you will do them. If you have a day planner, that is the best “piece of paper” to write them on. Remember, in order to make success a habit and own this feeling, we must practice every day so we master it.

    4. When you wake up, 1st thing, read your actions for the day and the Experience “_” poster you made…DECIDE to embrace this feeling TODAY. Because yesterday is gone, and tomorrow will never come… so all we have is what we feel NOW.

  • Anatomy of an Anxiety Attack

    Anxiety attacks are normal body reactions – coping mechanisms – against different stressors and distressing predicaments. In other words, these are chemical, physical and emotional reactions that are elicit by fear, apprehension, or shock. These reactions also cause a “fight or flight” response. Based on scientific studies, people automatically react to stress or stress-inducing activities by either making a confrontational stance or making a decision to avoid the stress.

    Advertisements

    Pressure can come from an emotional problem in a relationship at home, demanding tasks and deadlines at the office, the dread of a forthcoming test, or the clamor for a game-winning performance in a championship game. All these can produce constant anguish and even anxiety attacks if a person is not able to cope effectively with the stress. A person that is undergoing an anxiety attack often experiences a feeling of numbness or tingling, shortness of breath, dizziness, heightened palpitations, chronic sweating, chills, hot flushes, and nausea.

    Extreme levels of anxiety can produce serious ill effects on one’s physical and mental health. Anxieties can actually hinder or adversely affect a person’s day-to-day activities. Aside from the possibility of leaving a person emotionally depressed and physically weak, anxiety can also cause a person to lose the ability to make a rational decision. It is not uncommon to hear of cases of people with severe anxiety who have lost their jobs and failed in their relationships. For these people who have become victims of anxiety attacks, life has become a mere matter of survival — bereft of happiness, fulfillment, and health.

    Some people can cope with depression and anxiety. But for a significant number of people who do not have the ability to cope with stress and anxiety, the only means to regain their life is to undergo therapy and, if necessary, take anxiety medications. These anxiety medications, if accompanied by therapy conducted by professionals, offer relief and possibly permanent protection from the debilitating effects of stress and severe emotional distress.

    Anxiety medications often vary in dosage and desired effects. However, what is common among these anti-anxiety medications is the ability of these drugs to suppress unnecessary chemical and emotional surges. Controlling these chemical and emotional surges allow a person with anxiety to regain a sense of peace and tranquility. Anxiety medications, also known as anxiolytics, are prescribed to treat the different symptoms of anxiety. For example, Benzodiazepines are prescribed to treat the short-term and disabling effects of anxiety. These drugs take effect in a person’s central nervous system, which is the reason why a certain degree of sedation occurs in a patient using the medication.

    Non-benzodiazepines, however, are used to control the serotonin level in the body. Serotonin is essential to the body for regulating anger, temperature, mood, sleep, vomiting, sexuality, and appetite. Though they are proven to be less effective than benzodiazepines, the serotonin-regulating effect of this type of anti-anxiety drug also helps a person to achieve a relaxed state.

    While these medications offer relief, people must still practice a little caution before taking these anti-anxiety drugs. These drugs cannot totally remove all symptoms of anxiety. Of course, these medications cannot resolve an emotional or psychological problem that is actually the origin or source of a person’s anxiety attacks.

  • What is happiness?

    Are you happy? Many of us are not sure about that. Happiness also can not be defined so easily. Most of us are not living happily. That is the curse of modern age. Try and make yourself as happy as possible amongst all the stresses and tensions.

    What is happiness? When I say that I am feeling happy, it may mean that I just got something that I love. That makes me happy. Have you ever seen the photographs of people who have won a big lottery? They look so happy. Meet them after few years, when they have already spent all their money, and you will find the same person very unhappy. A married couple looks happy while getting married. Meet them after few years in the Divorce court and you will know that happiness was not their nature, but only a reaction to circumstances.

    Can we remain happy at all times? It is difficult, but one can surely try. Decide to smile and feel happy at all times. Even if you learn that you have suffered a big loss, be happy. Sounds foolish? But this can be done. And no amount of unhappiness will ever get you the money back. But happiness under all conditions will give you the confidence and strength to fight against all the odds and come out as a winner.

  • Six Steps To Self Confidence

    I am sure everyone will agree that you can not achieve much in life without a good deal of self-confidence. A state of inner confidence is only achieved through a balanced mixture of high self-esteem, realistic belief in yourself, a good measure of self-respect, and an accurate positive self-image.

    Advertisements

    The way you feel about yourself, how you see yourself, and believe others see you, is a key issue in how you live your life. It is the foundation upon which you build your successes and the shaky ground on which your failures occur. By developing your self-confidence and belief in your own innate abilities you will be enabled to recognize and take advantage of more of the opportunities that are presented to you but until now have gone unnoticed.

    You will also have the strength and inner belief that is essential in overcoming the inevitable pitfalls and obstacles that life throws at you. By developing this aspect of your personality you can achieve, what may appear now to be, impossible goals.

    For each time you put your newfound confidence to the test and discover that you are a winner, you will strengthen it immeasurably and move forward in your own personal development at a greater speed than you can imagine.

    Your belief in yourself will grow with each new challenge until you begin to see challenges, not only through the eyes of a person who believes in themselves but also, as someone who knows they can achieve anything – because you begin to see yourself as a person who has the confidence in their abilities to find a way to do it!

    When Hannibal told his generals he wanted to cross the Alps, with about 38,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and 37 war elephants, to reach Italy and attack Rome the replies were unanimous, “It can’t be done!”. Hannibal’s reply to this is now the now famous quote, “We will find a way or we will make one!” Such was the confidence he had in his own abilities.

    Here are some points to follow that will help you develop a similar level of self-confidence:

    As best you can, stop berating and judging yourself harshly. There are numerous people in the world who will jump at the chance to do that for you. Be gentle with yourself and recognize that your mistakes are merely learning opportunities. Keep in mind that your words have power. They direct your thinking. When you speak in a certain way you begin to formulate ideas and beliefs which are in harmony with the words you are using.

    These beliefs in turn have a major impact on the action you take and the way you conduct yourself throughout your life. So choose words that uplift you, encourage you and strengthen you and go easy on yourself when you make a mistake. Recognize what you have to learn from it and move on.

    Advertisements

    Seek out the company of people you want to emulate. Look for self-confident people to mirror. Watch the way they walk and how they talk. Put yourself in positive environments as much as you can. Your environment and the people around you dramatically affect your level of confidence whether you realize it or not.

    Immerse yourself in people who build you up but that are honest and forthright with you. These are the type of people who will show you where you can improve while also reinforcing that you can do it and that the job you have done thus far is great. They can help you work on your faults while praising you with each step forward you make.

    Negative people only pull you down and should be avoided. If someone tells you often enough that you can’t do something you will begin to believe them and thus form a negative belief about yourself. Such people are toxic and must be avoided at all costs.

    Advertisements

    Be a person who is true to their word. Take action when you vow to take action. Follow through on your plans even if it initially looks like there is no way forward. That doesn’t mean being inflexible. Of course, there will be times when you need to compromise and alter your goals and plans but always stay true to your vision. I promise you another way will present itself. If you give up you will seriously damage your confidence!

    A key point to remember is that there is no such thing as failure – you only fail when you give up! If you keep on keeping on, trying different approaches, and staying steadfast to your ideal, you will eventually succeed. The knock-on effect is that your confidence in yourself will grow and you will also have the added knowledge of what not to do.

    Failure is the greatest teacher but only if you learn from it and use it! Feel the fear and do it anyway! If you stand up and face that thing that you are most afraid of and do it anyway very often the fear disappears. If it doesn’t the first, it will the second, third or fourth. Doing this will prove to your subconscious mind that nothing bad did occur from taking that action. For example, you will find that talking to that person didn’t make you stop breathing or giving a lecture didn’t make you die, or walking across the bridge wasn’t life-threatening, etc.!

    Keep a diary of all your achievements no matter how small and don‘t let others ridicule you for it. I know of a person who was terrified of balloons. Now to you or me, this sounds ridiculous but to him, it was as frightening as facing certain death. You know what your fear is! Many times in life fail to acknowledge the progress we are making simply because ‘we can’t see the forest for the trees’.

    We get caught up in the big picture and don’t see the smaller gains that are actually getting us closer to our goal. Think of a time when you met someone you hadn’t seen in years. Do you remember noticing how much they had changed? You could see it yet to their family, close friends, and people who have seen them every day. The changes would have been almost imperceptible!

    Take the time to write down every little gain you make. Soon you will be able to read back over it and really see just how far you have come. Write down the fears you faced, how you faced them, and the obstacles you overcame.

    Explain how you felt before and how you felt after. This will help keep you motivated in times of internal struggle and show you just how far you have come in your journey to more self-confidence.

    Finally, when you go to bed at night, let your mind think of all the achievements you had during the day and week and month. No matter how small these achievements may seem, give yourself credit for all of them. Upon waking in the morning visualize yourself for 5 or 10 minutes beaming with joy and confidence as the day unfolds and you will literally set yourself up for a successful day and incredible life!

  • Create Your Path to Success

    Creating your path to success depends on walking on a firm foundation. Knowing WHAT you want is only the beginning. Visualizing what you want and repeating affirmations makes your intentions stronger. Yet, this is not enough. So what IS the secret to realizing your goals? Let’s walk the path together. As we walk the path step by step, I encourage you to write the answers to these questions:

    Step 1: Where are you now? What are your strengths, resources, and areas of improvement?

    Advertisements

    Step 2: What do you want to achieve? What is important to you? Money? Relationships? Having fun? Creating a vibrant body? …Use your imagination to explore. List everything you want without editing.

    Step 3: What do you REALLY want? What lights you up and gets you excited? What is your heart’s desire?

    Step 4: Now explore the risks, obstacles, or challenges that could interfere with achieving these goals. Notice what is stopping you from having what you want now. This is the most powerful question to answer because it is how you sabotage yourself from success. By recognizing the challenges, obstacles or risks and addressing them in your Action Plan, you manage your productive tension to focus on your desired outcome.

    What’s Stopping You?

    Feelings of unworthiness?

    Self-sabotaging mind talk?

    Do you dress for success?

    How is your love life? Do you regularly express your love to the significant relationships in your life?

    Release negative people from your life

    Release self pity – Focus on gratitude instead. Make list of what is good in your life.

    Attitude – are you usually upbeat?

    Health: attitude, energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being are all linked to good health. Health is supported by

    Exercise: Pleasurable forms can include weight lifting, dance, belly dance, Tango, golf, tennis, jogging, walking, cycling, yoga, and many other forms.

    Diet: Well balanced diet is best. Studies have shown that excessive protein creates health risks/issues.

    Medical exams: Regular checkups help you know where you stand and how to get back on track if necessary.

    Spiritual Life: Your spiritual life builds your foundation.

    Complacency or “Golden Handcuffs” – When we get too comfortable, we can set ourselves up to fail. If you are at the top, keep your edge and passion by giving yourself new challenges.

    Do you have the passion to win or achieve a goal?

    Advertisements

    Step 5: Select your favorite goals and write an affirmation for each following this format:

    I have/am/achieve specific goal stated in present tense by specific deadline.

    State your goals in specific, measurable terms so you can recognize their achievement. Avoid the use of the words “try, not, don’t, can’t, shouldn’t…” The mind does not hear the “not” and cannot produce results with “try”. An example of an affirmation is “I achieve my monthly financial goal of $$$ easily by the 28th of every month.” Another example of an affirmation is, “This is my LUCKY day!”

    Step 6: Imagine yourself already having your goals accomplished. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? What do you smell? What do you taste? Let yourself BE there now!

    Step 7: Create an Action Plan to achieve your desired results. Be specific about every step required. The goals need to be compelling to be achievable.

    Step 8: Reinforce your goals daily. Create a vision map with YOU in the picture and place it where you can see it daily. Record your affirmations in your voice and listen to them daily. Repeat your affirmations morning and night. Focus on what you desire.

    Step 9: Be Accountable. Find a coach who you will allow to hold you accountable in a supportive way. Ultimately, accountability is the key to success. A coach supports you by inspiring pride and self-discipline. For best results, the coach is someone who has no attachment to the outcome. The coach walks the path with you — but not for you.

    Ultimately, your success depends on your ability to monitor and manage your level of productive tension.
