Making the Same Hiring Mistakes?

The Right Inner Talk Expedites Results

by

Do you want to successfully achieve intended results? Are you willing to do what you don’t want to do and don’t like to do, and stop complaining about it? If yes, understand that results require practice and developing a discipline by following focused action steps. Hire a business advisor, coach, or other professional to help you along the way.

A coach has you do what you don’t want to do so you can achieve what you’ve always wanted.

What is the key ingredient often overlooked?  The right inner talk expedites results. Your self-talk guides you toward achieving your goals. It’s your inner core and determination that keep you moving forward day after day, week after week. Pay attention to the words you use to communicate your concerns or fears. They are usually the insight needed to blast through any inevitable wall. But don’t fall into the trap of falsely believing recitation of the right words is the sole answer. You need to believe in them while you are doing the work!

Be a Kick-Butt Warrior for Your Career

by

Developing clarity and focus is the key to becoming a kick-butt warrior for your career. Stop waiting or relying on your boss or company to pay for workshops, seminars, or one-on-one coaching. Take matters into your own hands and pay for them. The return-on-investment will be significant — these activities have consistently helped others land on the career path of their choosing.

Money conversations

by

Having fear-based beliefs that you can’t afford something important can create a lot of mischief in your enterprise. Although budgets, monetary controls, and other financial considerations must be handled in a fiscally responsible manner, doing so in a Scrooge-like way usually takes its toll on the company–particularly when it’s self-serving.

Teach yourself and others to become resourceful, honor budgets, and learn how to become fiscally responsible. Many employees have not had responsibilities in costing, pricing, or creating profit margins for products and/or services in a competitive manner. Don’t make it difficult to achieve intended results; simply be responsible for the financial outcomes of how and where you spend the company’s money.

Promises are important.

by

Too often, we don’t pay attention to what we are saying to others, or ourselves. We make promises and don’t keep them. We forget or don’t hear our own words, get too busy or change our minds. When making promises, be conscious to what you are saying and say it in a clear and concise manner. When someone is making a request of you, agree, say no, or counteroffer. Then repeat the agreed-upon promise before fulfilling it. Write it down and take focused action.

How do you handle an executive meltdown?

by

Many executives and C-Suites have lost jobs, careers, and well-deserved recognition by not handling setbacks well.

Anytime someone has a major experience he or she was not anticipating (e.g., anticipated a different outcome from a result, promotion, evaluation, or award), it can create a shock—particularly if their EQ, or emotional resilience, is low. Although you may not immediately notice the shock, inevitably there will be a meltdown that cannot be ignored. It will usually occur within the next couple of hours or days. Take time to talk with the person before the major announcement or interaction. This will help prepare them. Limit their interactions with projects, key players, or clients until after the shock has worn off. If a meltdown does occur, have them work on a low-priority issue, or take a couple of days off.

What if …?

by

Many times we don’t listen and ask good business questions. We fear others will become upset, and many times they do. Their emotion signals their attachment to what they’ve already spent time working on and how they think about it. However, not asking the “What if …?” questions can prevent an adequate project from becoming great, a poor ROI from being wildly successful, or an OK employee from becoming a top performer.

Making promises and not keeping them.

by

Being a leader requires that others follow you. Making promises that you don’t keep ensures career derailment. Be clear regarding what you are promising and the deadline you are willing to abide by. Then, make it happen. This will be inspiring, since many leaders don’t honor their word!

How can I help you?

by

These five words can make a big difference when meeting with a client, employee, or prospective vendor. As business owners and executives, we usually think others should be focused on helping us! Take a step back, become humble, and use these five words to create better relationships with others. They will be more willing to help you if you’ve taken the time to help them!

When do you need a coach?

by

Everyone needs help to build a company, create unprecedented results, and work with and through others to complete a successful project on time and within budget.  Make sure your coach has the experience and ability to help create new ideas or methods that will help you. Simply following a standardized program is usually not the answer for most successful business owners, executives, or highly mobile professionals. Make it personal in order to achieve your intended professional results.
