Know yourself, understand your values--they will be your guide in this world. If you don't know who you are and what your values are you will do things and behave in ways that are contrary to your goals. When you act contrary to your goals you will be unhappy and confused as to why you have veered so far. Wake up! It's time to be true to yourself-- this is the only way you can make others happy. If you claim that you are the type of person that loves others more than yourself then you will never really know how much more you can truly give-- your best self is the person you love, are proud of and is consistent with thoughts, behaviors and actions. Have the courage to be seen- Being unique is a rarity to be admired being "normal" or the "same" makes you invisible, unhappy and replaceable..

#Negotiationsmindset There is a lot to say about proper negotiation tactics and skills sets. My focus here is on mindset and insights on common myths of negotiation. I’ll follow up with the general insight on the mindset of an excellent negotiator. This is not extensive just a starting reference point for anyone who wants to develop their negotiation skills. After all we negotiate our needs a large portion of our waking lives for instance, at work, with friends, family and wi...th our significant others etc.. Myth: negotiators are mysterious people who keep all information to themselves and are bullheaded. Reality: Negotiators are excellent communicators who are persistent and provide information that is relevant. myth: negotiators talk a lot Reality: great negotiators listen and can negotiate quickly and produce results faster. A negotiator that talks a lot is usually doing a lot of explaining and compensating if you know the true value of what you offer there’s no need for this- great negotiators listen to look for what needs are yet to be fulfilled. A person that talks and doesn’t listen usually is working on assumptions of what they might think the counterpart wants. It’s been my experience what most people say they want is usually not what they need. A negotiator that talks a lot is rarely a good closer since at some point you need to be able to say sign here. Mindset: the mindset of an excellent communicator has some of the following characteristics : self-confidence, a checked ego, collaboration mindset, clarity through review process, and focus on creating win-win situations. Although we have heard of people who drive a hard bargain there is much to say about leaving a deal with one party feeling ripped off. Think of divorce and how tedious and difficult that can be if one person or both is trying to take more etc.. or ask yourself did I really win that argument with my friend, spouse or relative? What consequences will come of getting all your needs met while leaving someone feeling as if their needs aren’t met? At higher levels of complexity and problem solving hoarding information and greediness are rare successful negotiation approaches. A great negotiator is spontaneous (to a certain degree) does not approach a situation believing that negotiation will actually occur and they are ready to find creative ways of producing win-win situations.. A great negotiator knows negotiations are not just a game to be won, this allows them to keep their ego in check since their goal is to create mutually beneficial relationships not just be right because it strokes their ego. :) Thoughts

#maintainiginnerpeaceamongstchaos You don’t suffer when you learn to create inner peace amongst external chaos. As my days become more challenging this philosophical outlook or personal goal allows me to overcome adversity. I keep my peace of mind by not worrying about that which I do not have controlit’s useless because worrying won’t change anything and if you gave it your all and it didn’t work out it’s not the end of the world and perhaps it wasn’t worth it, you were...Continue reading

Your life is a mirror of what’s inside of you.. where you have consistently placed your energy is clear as day if you just look around you- if you live with fear you probably don’t take risks for fear of failure so you have a lot of regrets or soon will have them (e.g., what if?) if you care about what people say you probably aren’t yourself often-... if you have only poor relationships you haven’t taken the time to figure out whyif you have maybe you don’t believe that you deserve better- if you’re chronically unhappy you’re probably thinking negative things about yourself, others or the world and fail to appreciate what you do have happiness is a choice... if you are confused, my advise is to take one good look around you and the answers will be available if you’re still unclear ask how much is it worth to you to have clarity, focus and direction If it’s worth a lot do something about it Of Note: if you’ve exhausted friends and family call me, if I’m your friend or family I’ll refer you to someone else who can help.
