  • The Silent Assassin by Janet Pfeiffer
    The Silent Assassin I read advice columns. I sometimes find valuable information that benefits me or I can pass along to others. At times I shake my head in awe at the nonsensical issues people seek advice about, like the biggest debate ever in Dear Abby’s history: which is the correct way to hang a roll of toilet paper - paper across the top or underneath? Really? This is what people are conce
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: T is for Turbulence by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
    As a sailor who crossed the Atlantic Ocean, I could see the changes on the surface of the water that tells us whether we’ll be experiencing turbulence or calm seas. We could see miles off in the distance any sea change that was coming our way. We could prepare appropriately and settle in for any turbulence.

  • Leadership, Tough Decisions and Our Inner Voice by Al Spinks
    Click Here to View This Blog While discussing “The Law of Cause-and-Effect” in my last post, I commented that we should listen to our “Inner Voice.” Since then I’ve been asked a number of questions about this “Inner Voice” and whether or not it really exists. Let me share a few thoughts and an experience with you. Although there’s quite a bit of scientific debate on this subject, all I can
  • As the Paradigm Shifts: S is for Sacrifice by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
    I’m suggesting that maybe what we’ve sacrificed isn’t worth the price. This is a huge spiritual issue for those who have come to believe that financial stability will create happiness. The current global economic circumstances are indicating that, that may be an inaccurate assumption. The wounding that has occurred – that we’ve allowed to occur for the sake of financial viability for many has cost

  • As the Paradigm Shifts:R is for Resistance by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
    My work in corporations brings me face to face with people resisting the very work they are paid to do. I’m stymied by the degree of resistance to do what individuals are hired to do; the lack of collaboration that they agreed to, the lack of leadership and management they were trained to do. People are resisting doing what they’ve come here to do. I find that fascinating!

  • As the Paradigm Shifts: Q is for Question Reality by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
    I read on the back of a car many years ago a bumper sticker that read “Question Reality!” Up until that time my life had been a mish mash of confusing circumstances, and it was a revelatory experience to take these two words deeply into my soul. I breathed deeply and felt as though I’d been given a sign that there was light at the end of the tunnel. At this same time, the context of my life did
  • Tough Times Part 4, Are You at Cause or Effect? by Al Spinks
    Video Tough Times Pat 4, Are You at Cause or Effect? In my last post I introduced the concept of “The Law of Cause & Effect” which simply states: “We choose how we experience life.”  Nothing more, nothing less!  We can either choose to be at cause in life by taking charge of how we respond to those “not so nice” circumstances that enter into our lives or, we can choose to be at the effect o

  • As the Paradigm Shifts: P is for Power by Dr. Rosie Kuhn
    In my first book, Self-Empowerment 101, I devote the first chapter solely to the subject of power. The reason is that through power and the energy that generates power, every event since the Big Bang is a result of that power. Regardless of how power is used – whether in alignment with evil or good intentions, to look small and helpless or to be a superpower, all is generated from the same source.
  • The Jerk Sitting In the Front Row. by Dan Waldschmidt
    It is all too easy to let other people distract you from being amazing. Let me tell you how I really learned that lesson all over again a few days ago. As a popular speaker, I have the unique and wonderful opportunity to speak all over the world to big companies, business organizations, and non-profits.  Like much of what you read here on my blog, the discussion is an unconventional one.
