Healthy Brain Chemistry Creates Equal Opportunity Business
Posted by: | CommentsRelating male-female relationship dynamics to productivity in the workplace may initially seem a stretch, even though we all know how motivation and morale are affect by how people get along in any environment. Dr. John Gray, of Mars Venus fame, puts it down to brain chemistry. Healthy brain chemistry leads to better relationship dynamics, which in turn leads to greater effectiveness and productivity. The thing is, the process is not automatic. However, once the dynamic is known, individuals or businesses can design in activities or systems to support the best of brain chemistry outcomes.
Dr. Gray’s studies led him to understand that in order to stimulate certain hormones, we need a combination of doing what we need for ourselves along with receiving input from others we work and relate with. In this day and age of potential for labeling something as sexist because it treats males and females differently, we must be clear that brain chemistry is equal opportunity. In a similar way, equal opps was taken to ridiculous extremes that lead to installing the same number of stalls in male and female restrooms. The reality is, Read More→

Sustainable Labor Through 3-D TLC
Posted by: | CommentsLabor Day is now past and more than anything seems to mark the end of summer and start of autumn, school and chilly evenings. We rarely pay tribute anymore to the value of labor well executed, a job artfully done in skill and craft, attention to detail, meeting customer needs and delivering all this in a spirit of goodwill. This whole approach is a mainstay of the American enterprise spirit; one which forged our historic beginnings and still carries us today at least in pockets.
These characteristics are also key facets of entrepreneurs, who in growing numbers are the creative and economic generators of our society. As I’ve been out and about teaching this summer I noticed that in the face of pressures to be more efficient and productive for economic reasons, the most successful approach to productivity is Read More→

Embrace these ten things along with thinking and creativity tools to leverage the information, and your negotiating experience and outcomes will more likely to be successful to the fullest extent of the word.

• Purpose-what’s the overall purpose you are there for , remembering relationships Read More→
Creating a Core Values Statement
Posted by: | Comments“There is one aspect of your mission statement that is more important than all others: your core values.
Core Values Still Count
In an ever-changing world, core values remain constant.
Core values are NOT descriptions of the work you do or the strategies you employ to accomplish your mission. Rather, your values underline your work, how you interact with others, and which strategies you use to fulfill your mission. They are the basic elements guiding how you go about your work. They are the practices you use every day in everything you do.
Your Core values should: Read More→
Creating a Mission Statement
Posted by: | CommentsWhat Is a Mission Statement and Why Do You Need One?
Mary Ellen Tribbey discussed in her post today the Mission Statement for Working Moms Only, her new site that shows working mothers how to ‘have it all’ and still have a life:
“Our mission is to supply the tools that can give EVERY working mom the ability to lead a healthy, wealthy, and more balanced/blended lifestyle. To create a community where millions of working moms from all over the world come together in support and celebration of each other.”
“It’s simple and it’s sincere. And everyone I do business with gets it – point blank.
Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of not taking the time to craft a mission statement. If you do not have one, I urge you to write one immediately.
