Super Confidence Part II

admin1 — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:50:58 +0000

The delegates who come to my talks and seminars still never cease to amaze me. Even if they tend to average out into distinct types when subjected to the specific criteria I discuss, the individuality they each bring with them is a constant source of interest and fascination to me and their input to those [...]

Super Confidence Part I

How nice would it be to have confidence all the time? To be ‘on a good day’ every day and be able to take on every challenge in life with a strident step and a smile on your face? Confidence makes dealing with life’s little twists and turns a hell of a lot easier and [...]

It’s Time to Get Excited

With talk of the UK economy turning a corner, Cherie believes "It's time to get excited", as we look to use positivity in stimulating our business ventures and take full advantage of the opportunities that have arisen from the recession

Failure is an option

For me success is more often than not, a question of repetition. It’s not a magic formula but a combination of determination, resilience and being prepared to try different things. Life is too short to be under confident or concerned with failure. We all fail in all areas of our lives. I believe it’s our attitude to failure that determines whether we are successful.

Something Wonderful Could Happen at Any Minute

We all have periods in our lives where we feel down and disillusioned. It can become a spiral into depression at worst or at best a hard clamber out of the hole. At these times in our lives it can be easy to assume that 99% of the events we experience are negative. My mum once said this simple sentence to me and it's been a wonderful influence on my life - "Something wonderful could happen at any minute". It's so simple.

The Power of Emotions

Thinking it or feeling it? I can control what I think. I can only influence what I feel. Have you tried influencing your own emotions? It's a difficult task! Do we control our emotions or do they control us? How much of what we do is really emotionally driven? Is there a huge gender difference here too?

Happy New Year

You can make New Year’s resolutions on any day!

Most of us at least give a passing thought to changing the way we think or behave in preparation for a good year ahead, but the great thing is that we can do this at anytime. Just making the decision brings about a change and makes us [...]

Battle Worn Heroes

It’s nearing the end of a long hard year for most. I know many of my clients are facing another round of redundancies in the next few weeks and the prospect of a tough year for 2010 is looking inevitable.

I know it’s not like me to sound gloomy and really I’m not! The reality is [...]

Women On Top

elliott — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:05:29 +0000

Last week I was giving inspiration from my theory of ‘Slap & Tickle’, and this week it’s the concept of ‘Women On Top’.

I have been approached recently by several organisations working towards achieving greater diversity within their workforce. For many, their focus is ethnicity, but with several the focus appears to be gender. It’s an [...]

Everyone Likes a Bit of Slap & Tickle!

So it's very simple. When someone responds well to your instruction/request, make them feel good. When they do not respond, or perform badly, let them know immediately! Be consistent and be quick. It's not complicated and it works. So why do we have such difficulties with it?
