Meet the Best ~ 46: Erik Qualman on Socialnomics

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment
""In the present moment make friends with what you have, and who
you are! Comments/Questions"

What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide you
on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on information products of

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here is a mentor who has touched our lives and we are pleased to share
him with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the best"
mentor Erik Qualman.

Erik Qualman came into our lives when we wanted to learn more
about social media and its impact on how "we live and do business."

Socialnomics is about social media and its impact on how "we live and do
business."

Here are a few excerpts from his book for your consideration...

"The transparency and speed of information exchanged
within social media mitigates casual schizophrenic
behavior.  ...People and companies will need to have
one essence and be true to that essence.  ..." [p. 135]

"Your customers and fans of today are the potential
competition of tomorrow.  ...proactively avoid letting
[this] happen. ..." [p. 188]

"This book highlights that some traditional behaviors,
constructs, and principles will continue in the new
world, while others will not be suitable.  Individuals
and businesses face new challenges if they are to stay
relevant and viable in this new Socialnomic world.
Are you up to the challenge?" [p. 237]

Your inner voice

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment ""In the present moment make
friends with your inner voice, your intuition! Comments/Questions"

~ Lithograph by Dr. Rae ~

Who am I? and What do I want? are questions that have been asked through
the ages.  Looking for, listening to and heeding the inner voice is currently
being explored in every aspect of life.

The search for self and purpose is as paramount to stress management,
effective living and learning as is the integration of the mind and the body.

How often have you being faced with making a decision and your mind sent
you one message, and your body sent you another?  A lack of mind-body
integration may be a cause of this often encountered phenomena.

As we all know, the mind and the body interact and influence each other.

What you think and do affects how you feel, and how you feel affects what
you think and do.  This interaction though, is limited to the conscious aspect
of your life.  On a deeper level, on the unconscious level, both your thinking
and feeling are affected by energy factors in your body.  Every unresolved
issue produces stress, a body response, and possibly tension.  Every tension
is an energy block in your body.  Every energy block is an unconscious attitude
that suppresses your sense of yourself.

Bioenergetic Analysis is a way of regaining your sense of yourself (who you
are) and your purpose (what you want) by opening your energy blocks, and
using your energy to live your life fully and spontaneously, with joy and grace.

So, are you ready?

Meet the Best 45: Tibor Shanto ~ Part Two "Death Of Salesman 2.0?"

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment  "Being present in the
moment opens you to the presence of inspirational people in your life!
Comments"

  We are pleased to present Part Two of the article by Tibor Shanto,
  and sincerely hope that you find his article resourceful.  Please help
  us welcome this month's mentor who has touched our lives and we
  are pleased to share him with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the best"
mentor Tibor Shanto with Part Two of his article for your consideration...

Death Of Salesman 2.0?

By Tibor Shanto

As for the statement: "Gartner, a research organization, predicts by 2020,
85 percent of interactions between businesses will be executed without
human intervention.  It is likely that of the 18 million salespeople in the
United States, there will be only about 4 million left." Gartner quotes
interactions not sales.  EDI has been around for a long time facilitating
interactions between business, with the victims being more inventory
clerks than B2B sales professional.  Even when you look at concepts like
Vendor Managed Inventories, the reduction in bodies have been related
to warehouses and accounts payable staff than in the sales people who
sell the service to begin with.

While we are all impressed with Watson's success, that is a long way from
creating demand, generating leads, dealing with all variables that human
interactions involve when it come to risk, money and emotion.  I am not
sure Watson answered complex questions as much as to chew through
reams of data with breakneck speed.  Dealing with a buyer afraid to pull
the trigger on a change that is good for the company.  Or responding
and managing to emotionally based "objections", are the same as searching
a database at any speed.  For an interesting examination of this read a
Slate.com piece: Jeopardy, Schmeopardy, Why IBM's next target should
be a machine that plays poker (http://www.slate.com/id/2285035/).
By Chris Wilson, Feb. 15, 2011

Another puzzling aspect to this is that the same people who seem to harp
on relationships, and "people buy from people", seem to be the ones
supporting the disappearing sales person view.  I don't claim to be an expert,
but how does Watson fit into the social selling world of the future?

An altogether more practical view of the issue was presented by Jeffrey
Gitomer, in a piece in his July 5th edition of Sales Caffeine, in a piece titled
"Death of a Salesman! How alive are you?" (http://www.gitomer.com/articles/
ViewPublicArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3ORljorhuHgig%3D%3D)   He not only
distinguishes between retail and B2B, but expands on the impact on the
economy should all these sales people disappear.  Rather than discussing
how we will be replaced by machines, he outlines the advantage and
opportunities presented to B2B sales people in the future.

The reality is that computers will continue to replace transactions, order
fulfilment, and other commercial interactions between companies; they
will continue to bring efficiencies to selling in many forms, but when it
comes to B2B sales, both for mission critical and discretionary offerings,
they will remain a companion not a replacement.  It is true that sales
people, like the products/solutions they represent will need to continue
to add increasing value if they are to remain in the profession.  But for
those who do, the future is more than bright, and more importantly
rewarding.  For should it come to pass that our ranks are reduced by 75%,
the remaining 25%, to quote a friend "will not only be in great demand,
but be filthy rich due to our abilities".

I know that as pundits it is our role to deal with issues in an exaggerated
fashion to make an important point.  To do that, perhaps the question
leading to the premise of the article should have been: "How many
conference sponsors have bought sponsorship online; how many of you
have done that without speaking to a conference rep?”

Meet the Best 45: Tibor Shanto ~ Part One

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment  "Being present in the

make friends with your distress!  Comments"

  and sincerely hope that you find his article resourceful.  Please help
  us welcome this month's mentor who has touched our lives and we
  are pleased to share him with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Death Of Salesman 2.0?

By Tibor Shanto

Ah, the poor 21st century sales professionals, if he/she is not getting it
from their manager, they are being squeezed by what he thought was a
“loyal” customer, wringing yet another concession to ensure they keep
the business.  As if all that were not enough, there is always a sniper,
pundit or sales expert ready to threaten their existence and value.  One
such "end is near" piece was on SellingPower.com, entitled
"How Many Salespeople Will Be Left by 2020?";
(http://www.sellingpower.com/content/article.php?a=9452?rnd=324819)
according to which the species will be all but extinct by the end of this
decade.

While I think it is important for experts and pundits to challenge sales
people to stretch and evolve, to stay on top and ahead of evolving
trends and technology, it is also important to keep it real.  Since the
advent of technology, especially from the start of the last century on,
there has been a debate about the impact of technology on selling and
sellers.  The recurring prediction that sales people will be replaced
or diminished in importance by automation, seems a favourite among
some.

Technology no doubt brings levels of efficiency that will make selling
different and impact the interaction between sellers and buyers.  And
while this discussion is important, it also needs to be real.  It is important
that we pundits help and contribute to the process of evolution, rather
than impede or distract with outlandish statements that serve a narrow
and self-serving agenda.

The piece starts and builds from a question asked by the author at
Sales 2.0 conference, relating to acquiring books from Amazon.com,
and interaction with Amazon.com staff.

For me, and for all professional sales people, the piece has some short
comings, not the least of which are it fails to address or distinguish the
real difference between B2B and B2C; it fails to differentiate between
transaction – interaction – purchasing and selling.

If there is the dramatic reduction in the species that the piece suggests,
it is almost certainly to come in the B2C camp, not in the B2B.  Buying
a book from Amazon is as retail as it gets, even more so than the drive
through at SONIC™.  There is a great difference between selling and
buying, and more so between buying/selling and fulfilment, which is
what Amazon does when it comes to books.  The book was sold by
the author, publisher, pr firm, Oprah, and these days social media, but
Amazon, they just delivered it.  Most people these days will go in to
B&N look at the book, compare and then transact using the fulfilment
facilities offered by Amazon.  There is no more selling by Amazon
there than going to your local Piggly Wiggly®
(http://www.pigglywiggly.com/about-us) for a tube of toothpaste.
Just look at how Piggly Wiggly® describes itself on their site, "America's
first true self-service grocery store, was founded in Memphis, Tenn.
in 1916 by Clarence Saunders."  Not much new there, it has been going
for 100 years; the store has just shifted to my screen.

Meet the Best ~ 44: Martha Rose Shulman

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment "Being present in the
moment is being aware and conscious of your breathing! Comments"

What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide you
on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on information products of
your choosing?

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here is a mentor who has touched our lives and we are pleased to share
her with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the best"
mentor Martha Rose Shulman.

Martha Rose Shulman came into our lives when we wanted to learn more
about cooking and enjoying healthy recipes.

The Very Best Recipes for Health is about stretching your cuisine to eat
healthy to be able to conduct your business, personal and professional
life with less distress.

Here are a few excerpts from her book for your consideration...

"...Smoothies make a great quick nutritious breakfast.
...so if you're having trouble getting your 5 servings of
fruits and vegetables a day, smoothies might be your
ace in the hole.  ..." [p. 11]

"...Of all fruits and vegetables, kale has...the greatest
antioxidant capacity;...an excellent source of manganese
and Vitamin K and C, and a very good source of dietary
fiber, tryprophan, calcium, copper, vitamin B, iron, and
potassium.  Kale is loaded with beta-carotene and the
carotenoids lutien and zeaxanthin." [p. 146]

"...Mushrooms...contain more protein than most vegetables,
and their meaty texture makes them a perfect choice for
vegetarians.  Shitake, maitake, oyster...mushrooms contain
the highest amount of L-ergothioneine..." [p. 148]

Breathing and your health

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment "Being in the present moment
breathing without thinking takes you through difficult moments! Comments"

Breathing is a stressor that may affect your health.

Here some thoughts to focus on as we revisit breathing and your health today...

Being and staying centered and grounded requires normal breathing
rather than forced, held, jammed or reverse breathing.
http://tinyurl.com/3etyw7r

Being and staying centered and grounded is accomplished when
you are lying down, sitting or standing with your feet planted
solidly on the bed, and/or floor shoulder width apart.

For natural normal breathing, your chest and belly expands when
you breathe in and deflates when you breathe out.

Holding your breath until after you've completed any activity (talking,
    walking, etc.) tends to create a physical response, a stress reaction
    that may have an impact on your health.  http://tinyurl.com/buarvf

        [Caution: Go slow.  Attempting to fix your breathing style
        by taking in more oxygen than your body knows may cause
        hyperventilation.   If this occurs, cup your hands lightly over
        your mouth (rather than look for a paper bag) and breathe in
        and out slowly.  You can do this while sitting or standing,
        preferably sitting.]

One thing is for sure, only with honest observation, questioning and reflection
on breathing and your health are you able to create viable new beginnings for
others and for yourself.

So, are you ready?

Your body is telling you what choices to make.

Today is the day for you to accept, acknowledge and be aware that nothing is

Lessons learned revisited

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment
"Being in the present moment breathing without thinking about the future
and the past! Comments"

~ Image credit and source: ChristinaGille ~

As you revisit the lessons you've learned, are you struck with the feeling
that your lessons happen when you collaborate, engage and share time
with others, and with yourself?

Here are a few that have happened to us since the last time we presented
our list of lessons learned...

Being a believer, confident and self-reliant avoids being
over-whelmed and under-whelmed.

Sharing the law of attraction (e.g. this is happening tends
to make this happen) when you hear and read others talking
and writing in future uncertain terms such as "could be."

Using psychology, the study of human behavior to attract
what you want from others and from yourself.

One thing is for sure, only through honest questioning and reflection on
your lessons learned are they able to become viable new beginnings for
others and for you..

Endless possibilities

"Being in the present moment breathing without any thought helps you relax
and find the confidence within you to make a difference! Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

                                Image credit and source

Endless possibilities happen when you collaborate, engage and share time
with others!

To keep your self from losing your self in any relationship, stay grounded!

Here is how to stay grounded...

Whether you are laying down, sitting or standing, to stay grounded keep
your feet parallel to each other shoulder width apart as you follow your
breath move through your body without any thought.  When you catch
your self thinking, focus on your breath.

Losing your self results in losing interest, and this then presents you with
the tendency to move on by changing your perspective.

Steps that must be made to avoid losing your self are...

*  a willingness to reformulate your left-behind challenges

*  answering questions about the challenges you left behind

*  self-reliance [Source: Jeffrey Gitomer "Orison Swett Marden: An Original
Thinker" Success Magazine, August 2011, pp. 40-43] ]

your endless possibilities are they able to become viable new beginnings

Meet the Best ~ 41: Michael Feuer and Dustin S. Klein

"Living in the present moment gives you the opportunity to learn
about your life's purpose; what gives you joy, what you love and
are passionate about!Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide
you on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on information products
of your choosing?

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here are two mentors who have touched our lives and we are pleased
to share them with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the
best" mentors Michael Feuer and Dustin S. Klein.

Michael Feuer and Dustin S. Klein came into our lives when we wanted
to learn more about building and doing business in today's world with
less distress.

The Benevolent Dictator: Empower Your Employees, Build Your Business,
and Outwit the Competition is about -- and for people who want to
have -- a better life, and a road map on how to get there.

Here are a few excerpts from their "advanced uncorrected proof" book
for your consideration...

"If you don't ask, you will never get.  ...The word "no" is just a
synonym for "maybe."  ...You must always look at a new idea
through the customer's eyes...  The journey better be as much
fun as the destination.  ...Always play by the "Mother Rule"...
Never fall in love with the underpinnings of your idea.  ...Know
when enough is enough...  Know how to put lightening back in
the bottle again and again.  ...Understand why the best start-ups
are run by a Benevolent Dictator." [pp. xiv-xv]

"[There is a]...real difference between the people who make things
happen and those who just talk about it.  When you find that idea,
you need to spend tine thinking about how to nurture it and then
figure out how to translate it into a reality.  And damned be the
walls that you face along the way." [p. 14]

"Will this style work for you?  It really gets down to where you've
been, what you've learned along the way, and where you want to
go.  No matter where you want to end up, the best advice...  is this:
Make the journey as exciting and fulfilling as the final destination.
And, never ever forget---Capitalism Rocks!" [p. 254]

Encore:  "In the present moment you are able to believe in
your self and follow your heart!  Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

As we come to the end of April stress awareness month, we
continue looking at stress, and the difference between distress
and eustress.

Stress is a "response of the body to any demand made upon it."
And, according to Dr. Selye "Stress is not something to be avoided."
Stress is your body's biochemical reaction to how you live life.
Stress can develop into distress or eustress and disease, through
your personal adaptation to internal and external environments.
When your energy is higher than your body can discharge, distress
or eustress occurs.  This may result in feelings such as loss of
control, being overwhelmed, stuck and/or agitated.  Each person
reacts differently to the different stressors.  It is important to know
what stressors, causes your distress or eustress and recognize the
stress indicators, the signal they give.

Distress is your body sending signals called stress indicators
that your breathing, environment, attitude and nutrition called
stressors are in need of your attention

Eustress is the opposite of distress and is somewhat beneficial
- but not too much; since your body is unable to differentiate
what stressors are causing distress and what stressors are
causing eustress.  In both cases, your adrenal glands are
secreting adrenaline.  According to Hans Selye, M.D. too
much adrenaline in your body is worse than being intoxicated.
You must learn how-to manage the stress indicators that your
stressors: breathing, environment, attitude and nutrition are
presenting you and the people you love.  It is therefore essential
for you to review your lifestyle and goals as soon as and when
ever you get these signals.

Some signals and symptoms of stress -- distress or eustress --
are tension and physical illness; low energy; fatigue; irritability;
insomnia; headaches; and backaches.

How do you manage and overcome your stress indicators,
your signals and symptoms of stress -- distress or eustress?

April is stress awareness month and we continue to look at
the benefits and the damages of your stress awarensss

Avoiding stress is not necessarily healthier than seeking it out.

Find your optimum level of stress, where there is just enough
to avoid complacency, and not too much to cause burnout,
headaches, stomach upsets, personality changes, restlessness,
sleeplessness and chronic tiredness.

How you manage and use stress is important and matters.

Lessons learned

"In the present moment, with natural breathing, look within
to find your answers, your confidence and your strength!
Comments" Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

Did you know that every moment of every day offers you "lessons
learned" that are needed for your health and your well-being?

Here a few "lessons learned" that may help you...

Energy blocks in your body are unconscious attitudes
that suppress your sense of your self.

Tension is an energy block in your body.

Unresolved issues create distress that as a body response
produces tension in your body.

On a deeper level, on the unconscious level both your thinking
and your feeling are affected by energy factors in your body.

Committing your self and your time to "lessons learned" like
any powerful idea empowers every one, including you.

Being aggressive vs being assertive ~ 2

"Embrace and experience the present moment.  In the present moment
there is empowering awareness rather than self-imposed fear!  Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

An aggressive person needs to be in control while an assertive person
is willing to share control in making decisions.

Have you ever wondered whether you are an aggressive person or an
assertive person?

More often than not an aggressive person tends to be a judgmental
person and an assertive person tends to ask lots of questions prior
to making any decisions as to whether or not entering into any
type of relationship with you.

The difference between being aggressive vs being assertive is in
acknowledging that all decisions, ideas and opinions are important
and that others' decision, ideas and opinions are as important as
your own.

The choice is yours as to how you are going to create meaningful
results for your personal and your professional life.

"Awareness and prevention are found in the present moment
where there is less fear and more love! Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

How are you being invaluable and remarkable to decision makers?
Are you being aggressive or are you being assertive?

The difference between being aggressive and being assertive in
sharing what matters to you...

...comes down to the energy you have available at each moment
of each day!

...is about the type of engagement that's been developing between
you and the decision maker!

...may cause stress reactions for the decision maker and for you!

Being aggressive vs being assertive may exist in your business,
in your personal life and in your professional life today!

Being aggressive comes from anger and frustration; being assertive
comes from esteem and respect for others and for your self.

What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide
you on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on information products

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here are two mentors who have touched our lives and we are pleased
to share them with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the
best" mentors Jay Baer and Amber Naslund .

Jay Baer and Amber Naslund came into our lives when we wanted
to learn more about the "power of the social web" and "the new era
of instantaneous business."

The NOW Revolution: 7 Shifts to Make Your Business Faster, Smarter
and More Social is about change and harnessing "the power of now."

Here are a few excerpts from their book for your consideration...

"For today's businessperson, possessing the time and information
required to make sound product, pricing, operations, and customer
service decisions is a luxury---that's facing extinction.  The future
of business is...about near-instantaneous response; about making
the best decisions...with...extremely limited information...;  about
every customer being a reporter, and every reporter...a customer;
about winning and losing customers in real time, every second of
every day; and about a monumental increase in the availability of
commentary about...companies." [p. ix]

"Your customers, prospects, and the people looking for you online
don't care about your company structure.  If they find you on
Twitter, or leave a comment on your blog, they're looking for a
response from anyone who can help, regardless of what department
that person represents or what someone's official job title is."
[p. 26]

"There are not only new roles emerging but also new expectations
and functions for the people already on your team.  You may or
may not need brand new social media jobs in your organization,
but...speed and social media will touch the job of everyone you've
already got...  The time is now to look at the way you're put together
and how you empower the human engine of your organization."

Social media and you

"In the present moment every one has the choice and the power for full
engagement!  Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

Social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, etc. is for

*  connecting with others by engaging and listening
*  finding resources for conversation and opportunities
*  networking with others proactively
*  promoting others and yourself with each others' end,
    and goal in mind

Social media is current and here for you to be authentic and transparent
in sharing what matters to you.

This may cause stress reactions for others and for you.

Being in the moment with breath and no thought aids in managing and
overcoming your stress reactions.

The stressor (cause) for these stress reactions is being judged by others
and by your self.

Today is the day for you to accept that social media is here to stay 24/7.

The choice is yours as to how you are going to create and use meaningful
results for your personal and professional life.

Here is a mentor who has touched our lives and we are pleased to share
him with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the best"
mentor Srikumar S. Rao .

Srikumar S. Rao came into our lives when we wanted to learn more about
"achieving personal mastery in business and life."

Are You Ready to Succeed? is about "achieving personal mastery in business
and life" with less stress by accepting "unconventional strategies."

Here are a few excerpts from this book for your consideration...

"Read this book with the expectations that it will...
Profoundly change your life.  ...Expect it to have
an impact on your career, ...relationships, ...health,
...financial well-being, ...spiritual development,
and every other part of your existence.  ...are YOU
ready?"  [p. 9]

"The first block to personal mastery---and one of the
biggest---is our unquestioned mental models.  These
are our fixed ideas of how the world works and how
things should or shouldn't be done.  We accept these
models so completely that we live our lives according
to them."  [p. 33]

"There is another law that is almost as immutable as
the Law of Gravity.  ...If you understand this law, you
will accept it.  Once you do, there will be no more guilt
in your life and you will cease blaming others.  ...You
will simply accept yourself and stop beating up on your-
self...  The Law of Self-interest...Everybody, at all
times, ALWAYS acts in his or her perceived
self-interest."  [pp. 160-161]

Stress from a bioenergetic perspective

"Inspiration and motivation on being in the now is found in

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

Stress, from a bioenergetic perspective,...

...is needed to live and to be creative; distress or eustress are not.

...sees illness as your body taking over when your mind cannot,
does not know how to, want to or is unable to handle your
situations.

...sees living your life as an interaction and integration of your
body, mind and spirit.  When distress or eustress occur there is
a disconnect between your body, mind and spirit. According to
Dr. Hans Selye this is worse than being intoxicated since your
body can not tell the difference between the two.

...sees physical feelings and thoughts influencing each other.
That is, what is you feel influences what you think; and what
you think influences what you feel.

"Being appreciative and grateful in the present moment with
each breath you take brings grace, joy and less distress and
eustress into your life.  Comments"
Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

Did you know that you need stress to live, and to be creative?

Distress and eustress, not stress, is what you must manage
and overcome by knowing what stressors are causing the
physical reactions you experience.

Being mindful of your body's response to your stressors
(causes) is the first step to managing and overcoming
your indicators (body signals) and your reactions to your
stressors.

Stressors are identified in the following categories:
Breathing - Environment - Attitude - Nutrition

Being here and being now with your awareness, acceptance
and acknowlegment of your physical responses to your
stressors begins your journey to managing and overcoming
the stressors, the causes of your distress and eustress.

Today is the day for you to accept that your overall health
and well-being is most important.  The choice is yours.

Predictable Success is about "getting your organization on the growth
track--and keeping it there" with less stress.

Here are a few excerpts from this book for your consideration...

"There is a code that will unlock success, predictably
and consistently, in any organization." [p. 4]

"Most executives are task-focused, strong-minded
individuals who've gotten where they are by "getting
things done," so coming to realization that the car
won't go forward when they step on the gas is intensely
frustrating for them." [p. 24]

"The lynchpin...comes down to personal ownership
and self-accountability throughout the organization:
engaged, empowered individuals and teams who hold
themselves accountable for delivering real results,
and who exercise structured creativity and risk taking
to achieve their goals, which are also your goals."

an emotional connection with you and your brand. ..." [p. 4]

a B2B blog than on a consumer-oriented site.  Your customers

in mind.  If you’re consistent and interesting, your audience
will find you!" [p. 17]

Weekly Reminder: Live in the present moment

What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide
you on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on information products

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here is a mentor who has touched our lives and we are pleased to share
her with you in this entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the best"
mentor Lynne C. Levesque.

Lynne C. Levesque came into our lives when we wanted to learn more
about creativity in every aspect of life.

Breakthrough Creativity is about "achieving top performance using
...eight creative talents" in all of your activities with less stress.

Here are a few excerpts from this book for your consideration...

"...there is no one right or best way to be creative.  Creativity
takes many forms and manifests itself in many different ways.
...to bridge the gap between the need to be more creative and
your perception of your own creative abilities, you may need
help in defining your creative talents.  By identifying your talents,
you can figure out how to be more consistent, purposeful and
effective in producing your creative results." [pp 7-8]

"Becoming aware of your talents is a first step in nurturing your
creativity and enhancing your creative contribution...  After
becoming comfortable with the strengths of your dominant talent,
you can then become more familiar with your auxiliary talent and
use it consciously in balance with your dominant talent." [p. 33]

"Taking a different step,...to achieve your creative best requires
courage.  Your passion helps drive that courage.  It gives you
perseverance and a willingness to risk.  It supports your boldness
in asking tough questions and challenging yourself and others.
It gives you the energy required to reach outside the norm." [p. 224]

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here is a mentor who has touched our lives for many years

Tony Schwartz (with Jean Gomes and Catherine McCarthy, Ph.D.)
came into our lives when we wanted to learn more about energizing
performance in every aspect of life.

The Way We're Working Isn't Working: The Four Forgotten Needs
That Energize Great Performance is a book about bringing energy
into all activities with less stress.

Here are a few excerpts from this book for your consideration...

"We tolerate extraordinary disconnects in our own lives, even in
areas we plainly have the power to influence.  We take too little
responsibility for addressing our core needs, and we dissipate
too much energy in blame, complaint, and finger-pointing."
[p. 9]

"Our core need at the emotional level is for security, the sense of
well-being that depends...on the experience of being accepted
and valued." [p. 13]

"Without a richer understanding of what motivates us--and what
stands in our way--we...remain insufficiently equipped to take on
the vastly more complex challenges ahead." [p. 278]

"The core challenge for leaders is to recruit, mobilize, inspire,
focus and regularly refuel the energy of those they lead." [p. 286]

Stressor: your breathing

"Be aware and mindful of your being each moment of every day
since life is all about being.  Comments/Questions"
Your Weekly StressTip

Did you know that your breathing style may be a stressor, the cause
of your distress or eustress?

Are you able to follow your breath as it moves through your body?

Check your breathing style to see when your breathing is jammed,
natural, reversed or shallow.

For natural normal breathing, your chest and belly expands when
breathing in and deflates when breathing out.

  [Caution: Go slow.  Attempting to fix your breathing style by
    taking in more oxygen than your body knows may cause
    hyperventilation.  If this occurs, cup your hands lightly over
    your mouth (rather than look for a paper bag) and breathe
    in and out slowly.  You can do this while sitting or standing,
    preferably sitting.]

Holding your breath until after you have completed an activity
(talking, walking, etc.) creates a physical response, a stress reaction.

Today is the day for you to recognize that nothing is more important
than unstressed, unforced, natural breathing.

Here is a mentor who has touched our lives for many years
and we are pleased to share him with you in this entry of

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's

Thomas J. Peters (with co-author Robert H. Waterman, Jr.)
came into Dr. Rae's life in the 80's while in Foundations of
Education Graduate School as a teaching fellow when she
wanted to learn more about excellence in every aspect of life.

In Search of Excellence: Lessons from Americas Best Run
Companies is a book about being the best, and being
excellent with less stress.

Here are a few excerpts for your consideration from In Search
of Excellence [1982 edition]...

"This book...is an attempt to generalize about what the excellent
companies seem to be doing that the rest are not, and to buttress
our observations on the excellent companies with sound social
and economic theory.  ...employ field data too often overlooked
in books on management--namely, specific, concrete examples
from the companies themselves."  [pp. xxiii-xxiv]

"The eight attributes that emerged to characterize most nearly
the distinction of the excellent, innovative companies...  1. A bias
for action,...2. Close to the customer.  ...3. Autonomy and entrepre-
neurship.  ...4. Productivity through people.  ...5. Hands on, value
driven.  ...6. Stick to the knitting.  ...7. Simple form, lean staff.  ...
8. Simultaneous loose-tight properties.  ..."  [pp. 13-15]

"To the extent that culture and shared values are important in
unifying the social dimensions of an organization, managed
evolution is important in keeping a company adaptive."  [p. 106]

Here is a mentor who has recently touched our lives and we

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's
"meet the best" mentor Joseph A. Michelli.

Joseph A. Michelli came into our lives when we wanted
to learn more about moving from being transactional
handlers to trusted advisors in every aspect of our life.

The Starbucks Experience: 5 Principles for Turning
Ordinary into Extraordinary is a book about being the
best with less stress.
"With unique access to Starbucks personnel and resources,
Joseph Michelli isolated the 5 key leadership principles
that transformed an ordinary idea into an extraordinary
experience." [Book jacket]

Here are a few excerpts for your consideration...

"A sense of community -- and respect for one another -- is
increasingly rare in the modern workplace."  [p. 32]

"Today, in what has been aptly called a knowledge and service
economy, each of us adds value to our business by enhancing
the customer experience.  In return, customers offer our
business their loyalty and come to see us as trusted advisors
rather than just transactional handlers."  [pp. 34-35]

"Starbucks began with a question:  "What if you took the quality
coffee bean tradition and merged it with the charm and romance
of the European coffehouse?"  Pose some "what if" questions
about your own business that could lead to new products and
services."  [p. 195]

is yours.  Need help?"  Your Weekly StressTip

What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor
to guide you on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on
information products of your choosing?

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here is a mentor who has recently touched our lives and
we are pleased to share him with you in this entry of
Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's
"meet the best" mentor Dr. Marshall Goldsmith.

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith came into our lives when
we wanted to learn more about the essence of leadership
in every aspect of our life.

Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get
It Back if You Lose It is a book about self-actualization
and self-realization from the inside out with less stress.

Here are few excerpts for your consideration...

"Mojo is that positive spirit toward what we are
doing now that starts from the inside and radiates
the outside." [p. 5]

"MEASURING YOUR MOJO
PROFESSIONAL MOJO: What I Bring to this Activity
1. Motivation:...

2. Knowledge:...

3. Ability:...

4. Confidence:...

5. Authenticity:...

PERSONAL MOJO: What this Actvity Brings to Me
6. Happiness:...

7. Reward:...

8. Meaning:...

9. Learning:...

10. Gratitude:..." [pp. 26-27]

"When we cannot accept a situation for what it is and...refuse to
forgive people for causing that situation, who do we ultimately
hurt?  ...ourselves.  By carrying around anger and negative
baggage we weigh ourselves down.  We limit our opportunities
to find meaning and happiness.  We kill our Mojo." [p. 83]
