Add You - Get Over Yourself
There are many organizations that still subscribe to the belief that fear is the best motivator for its employees and that it creates a more robust and competitive entity in the market place.As an executive coach and psychiatrist for over 20 years I wish to dispel this destructive myth once and for all here.What is the true benefit to an organization of using fear as a motivator?Well let me count the ways:1. It creates increased emotional & physical stress for employees.2. This leads to accelerated turnover and burnout of high

The successful promotional website is a many faceted, never changing entity. One must be prepared to do extra time in seeing that the website is appealing to others as well as the search engine spider of Google.First and foremost, the website needs to be highly informational. Good information about the subject of the website is very important in the production.There need no be flash and fanfare, only information and hyperlinks. If one considers using flash in a website, at the initial glance of the site, the flash may tend to attract the casual su
Things don’t always go the way we want them to.
Let me tell you another secret.
We don’t always hear what we want to hear.
Duh.
These two statements are hardly secrets; we all know they are true. If they aren’t secrets, then why do we act surprised when it happens? And worse, why does the surprise often turn to pouting?
Adult Pouting
Most adults don’t walk around with a pout on their face, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t pouting. Pouting is when we are having an internal pity party because we haven’t gotten what we wanted, things haven’t gone the way we’d hoped they might, we heard something we didn’t want to hear or disagree with, or we have to work on something when we would rather be doing something else.
So we pout.
Some Examples
We are called to a meeting, when we wanted to be working on the important project on our desk. We think things like, “I don’t need to be at this meeting. Tammy could have handled it. Why am I here? Can’t they see that my time could be better utilized elsewhere? This is ridiculous.”

A question that has caused difficulty for many companies which need to recruit a technical sales representative is knowing which is the better choice, a candidate with technical qualifications but little sales experience or an experienced sales person without knowledge of your technical or scientific product.There is not one answer, although if there’s doubt, I’d take a guy who can prove to you that he has produced good sales results elsewhere.Some environments do require sophisticated knowledge of a specialised area of science. For example, one

Downsizing is never an easy decision. There is an inherent conflict between protecting the company’s interests and that of employees. This balancing act can be a real dilemma for an organization as it tries to insure its long-term survival, and its desire to protect the welfare of its employees.Handled improperly, a company downsizing can damage the public standing of both the organization and its management. People have long memories, and after a difficult time an organization needs the support of the remaining employees in order to rebuild.Consi

So there I was sitting in my underwear, waiting for my doctor with whom I had an appointment for my annual physical examination. I had arrived on time and was ushered into the examination room about ten minutes later. After my blood pressure was taken I was told to undress and wait for the doctor.I waited for over half-an-hour and became cold sitting there almost naked so I put some clothes on, figuring that, if I had waited this long for the doctor, he could wait a minute for me while I undressed again when he arrived. Another fifteen minutes slowly

Since ancient times women have been viewed, in many cultures, as men’s inferiors physically, morally, and intellectually. Today, in western cultures, women enjoy more freedom and equality than ever before in history. Despite the gains made by women in recent years, particularly in the U.S., many women worldwide still find that their access to education, employment, healthcare and political influence are limited because of their gender. These discrepancies continue to exist because many societies still maintain centuries-old social and religious laws, customs, a
Or we aren’t asked to go to the meeting and we see ourselves as really being able to contribute (or really wanting to be there because it is about an important change that we want to be in-the-know about). We think, “Why can’t I be there? My experience would make a difference. Besides, this could have been my chance to shine for the new VP over in Marketing. Being there would be a much better use of my time than working on these numbers. This is ridiculous.”
Or we sit in the airport because of a delay. We sit and we sit. We miss our connection because of the delay. We miss the events we had planned for the evening. And we are still in Buffalo (or wherever). We think about what we are missing. We think about the stupid airlines or the stupid weather or the stupid travel agent that booked this itinerary.
Poor us.
In all of these cases (and a hundred others I could share) we keep our thoughts inside ourselves. We are so busy with our own internal conversation about us, that we miss an
