Talk of Alabama- ABC3340 July 22nd

In January 2010, while meeting with another speaking and training colleague, we began discussing how we could work together. We spoke about the scope of our perspective businesses and soon discovered that we were both planning to create a program for schools.

We soon realized that by joining our efforts and expertise, we could create a curriculum for schools like none other.  After much discussion and much more action, Success Skills for Life™ was born.  This curriculum is perfect for high schools or workforce development programs.

The curriculum is currently available, and you can learn more at our site www.successskillsforlife.com.

If you would like to know more about how to bring this program to your school or civic organization, please reach out to us at info@successskillsforlife.com

“ I still think I did nothing wrong,” said Renshaw. “They could have given me a warning, or a fine or a disqualification for the stage. I was trying to get points as well to help Cav’ win the green jersey. I’m in the best form of my life and now I have to leave the Tour. It’s gonna be hard to get over this.”

If you have seen the television footage, it is quite obvious to see that there was no concern for the others and their safety.  Any novice or professional cyclist should be well aware that this is not an action that is allowed or tolerated.

What can we learn from Mr. Mark Renshaw?   How often do we headbutt others in our daily life? Perhaps we are not doing it intentionally; however, we can be sabotaging our success and ultimately be disqualified.  The sad news is that most of us do not even realize we are doing it.

There are certain guidelines and rules (protocol) in races to ensure the safely, fairness and ethics.  These guidelines exist in life as well. The way we handle ourselves in various situations can make or break our success both personally and professionally. Much like Mr. Renshaw we are disqualified in the minds of others, and wonder how we got there-really?

Don’t let that happen to you in the height of your career! Be sure that you understand the reprecussions of your actions before choosing a strategy that can cause you to be eliminated.

To Your Success,

Monday we had the car towed to the dealer in Mobile, and they worked us in due to the situation. It was a fuel pump, and they had the part on-site. I feel very fortunate that although it was a trying situation, so many people were kind and did their best to help in a bad situation.

I was very impressed with the way the city prepared for the crowd of over 30,000 people.  When looking in the crowd you saw a sea of people. Everyone was there in the right spirit to support the Gulf Coast and to have a good time. There were no signs of inappropriate behavior from my point of view.

Believe me… we could have let it ruin the trip. Now we can see the humor and blessings along the way. It was an adventure!

Let me hear about your adventure. If you attended, what did you think of the event?

Not only is it not smart to post when you are out of town (for security reasons), you certainly want to use common sense when posted items that can be used against you. Even if you are not posting photos of your mistress, you also want to avoid anything that can damage your reputation.

Remember that it takes years to build a reputation and only seconds to destroy it. Think twice before you post something on -line.

Also be extra careful, not to hide behind e-mail when it comes to conversations that need a personal connection.  You can make a huge mistake by assuming something via e-mail and sending an abrupt emotional response. Often times, e-mail can be miscommunicated, so never- never-never respond emotionally in return. Pick up the phone and connect with the person so you do not damage a relationship.

Being aware of etiquette skills and learning how to best manage situations can be a tremedous boost in your personal and professional success. It is important to think about how your behavior effects the outcome of a situation. How can you respond creating a win-win situation for all involved.

While life happens day in and day out, it is easy to just get by. Perhaps you have fallen in a rut and you are just not sure where to turn to get that jump start that you need to really make a difference in your current situation.

The truth is that no one can do the work but you. You are the only one that can change your behavior, which will ultimately change your outlook and attitude. When you learn the business skills that help you build confidence you begin to experience small successes that you can then continue to build upon.

You may be thinking, “Yeah, right. How do you know what I am going through?” Your right, I don’t know what you are going through exactly; however, what I do know is that at some point in our life we will go through those moments where we can choose to give up or do something about a particular situation.

I have had quite of few of those instances in my life. Everyday presents another opportunity to decide how I will choose to  respond. When we have the skills to process various challenges, we can make the best possible decision in any situation. The good news is that these are skills we can learn that will help us in both our personal and professional life. What a return on your investment! Now that is what I call maximizing ROI.

If you are interested in learning how to make every moment count, take some time to visit our free resources on your website. We have amazing tools available for you on-line as well as options for more in-depth training should you desire.

What is it worth to you to live knowing that you are doing your best? No, we cannot be perfect; however we can be the best version of ourself.
