Jobs and CareersTraining Your Internal Coach For Success!
By Dr Vesna Grubacevic
Master your thoughts, master your results
Because 80% of our results depend on our mindset, the key to mastering our results in business and in life is to master our thoughts. Our thoughts comprise things we imagine, hear, feel, smell, taste and our internal communication with ourselves. Every thought we think and/or speak acts as a suggestion. So if we tell ourselves "I can't do it" often enough, after a while we will condition ourselves to believe this.
If you are getting results other than what you want, ask yourself "How do I want to change my internal communication so I achieve the results I desire?" Having the flexibility to adapt our communication is the key to producing our desired results.
There are many techniques available to help you to train your internal coach for business and personal success. Here are a couple of very simple and effective techniques that you can begin applying immediately.
1. Any time you are faced with a challenge ask yourself the question "How?". "How?" is a very powerful question because it allows you to come up with the solutions, opportunities and options, rather than dwelling on or being stuck in the problem. For example, the question: "How have I contributed to creating this situation?" is much more powerful than the question: "Why did this happen?" Answers to the former question will provide you with learnings which will assist you to find solutions, while answers to the latter question will give you lots of reasons and will keep you dwelling on the problem. The former is much more empowering.
2. Start giving yourself daily or weekly feedback on the actions you are taking. Instead of beating yourself up when faced with challenges, telling yourself all the things you could have or should have done, give yourself some constructive feedback. Sit down at the end of each day or week and write down the answers to four questions:
What did I do well today/this week?
What can I improve?
What can I learn from this?
Overall, how was my day/week? (end on a positive)
This will assist you to learn and grow from your actions and help you move to the next level of your personal and professional performance! Used consistently, this becomes an extremely powerful process for training your internal coach for success.
Make room for the new
You have probably heard of the expression - empty out the old to make room for the new. Before we can achieve total mastery of our thoughts and internal communication, we first need to let go of old thought patterns (ie. declutter our mind from negative emotions, limiting beliefs, internal confusion, negative self talk and disempowering behaviours). Because to the extent that we still have old thought patterns, these will come in and distract, confuse or compromise our thinking and, therefore, our results.
By letting go of the old thought patterns, we will make room for the new. In turn, we can coach ourselves to great business and personal success, and truly become masters of our results and our destiny!

Reclaim Your Power to Succeed - 7 Sure Fire Steps to Overcome the Odds in Your Life and Succeed
By Hugues Nkamwa
The greatest danger in these times of change and uncertainty is that we tend to lower our sights. There is a real danger that the dreamer in us will be put to sleep.
Think instead of the mighty opportunities unleashed in your life. Seek instead to find out how you can reclaim your power and seize the day with audacity. You can become a winner again.
Here are 7 ways you can begin to take control again of your life and achieve your goals.
1. Acknowledge your Desires.
Be open to your desires and longings. To desire is a great thing. Your desire is the mechanism through which you tell the universe you are not satisfied with where you are. It is a good thing to desire.
2. Choose wisely.
The power of choice will allow you to zoom in on the desire that you have in your mind. Desire in itself is not sufficient to bring that which you want to your life. You must decide that it is what you want. This is what allows you to be committed to your goal.
3. Seek and you shall find.
Ask of life and you shall receive. The goal you have, the direction you have imagined for your life is an act of asking or seeking. Having set your goal and committed in your heart through your choosing the universe will respond.
4. Faith.
Faith is the saving grace of mankind. All that has ever been achieved by man was done by faith. Faith is nothing but your ability to retain and train your focus points in life to be in harmony with the goals you have.
5. Relax.
The feeling of tension and excessive stress is the projection of the energy of fear into your life. At any given time your mind is crowded with all kinds of thoughts, fears and projections which do not serve your goal or your purpose. If the receptacle is clogged nothing is going to collect in it. Empty your mind of the imprints of your past actions. Just be relaxed.
6. Gratitude
It is the most effective way to find success in life. There are a million things to be grateful for. To be happy and thankful takes you away from feeling like a victim. It gives you the feeling of being in charge of your life.
7. Acceptance
All of life has but one purpose. It is for you to come to the complete understanding of the one universal power unconditionally available to you. To simply accept that you are that which you have made yourself to become is the crux of all life.
You can recreate whatever you have lost in these hard times. In fact when recreating do not seek to just replace what was lost. You can recreate something entirely new, bigger and better than what existed before. This is the opportunity that now stands before you.
Jump in and play. Play big for once again only those who dream mighty dreams can accomplish mighty deeds.
Yours in total success

Success Principle - The Power of Giving and the Power of Asking
By Kate Sanner
Recently, I had the honor of speaking for a group of teens who were part of an anti-violence peer mentoring group. What an impressive group of young people they were… intelligent, fun-loving, and full of life. And they were committed strongly enough to being of great service to others to spend two hours of their evening at a monthly meeting - part of it listening to me - and many more hours in the field.
Because I wanted to give back to those teens who were giving of themselves, I decided to use a strategy I had heard of that is often used at executive conferences. I wanted to ensure that these young people would come away from my talk feeling valued and appreciated for all their efforts, in addition to getting the information on the topic I was presenting on.
I asked the woman in charge of the group to give me each of the members’ names (what they liked to be called) and to ask each member to list what his/her favorite beverage and snack food was. I went a step further and asked that each member supply me with the names of his/her favorite singers and singing groups.
The next step was to buy the items that were on the list they had given me. Some were very easy to find, some were a challenge but no request was considered too much trouble. At the presentation there were tented name cards for each of the members. And alongside each of the name cards were the favorite beverages and snacks each had listed. A few extra universally liked goodies accompanied their favorites.
As each teen began to take his/her place, I heard a lot of wows and whoops. I heard “I can’t believe she got us what we asked for!” I received some really nice “thank you’s”, mostly in teen vernacular. (Yes, on occasion, I do indeed rock.)
As for the music they most liked? I featured their favorites at the beginning of my Power Point Presentation where I go over the “Top Ten Reasons I Named My Business What I Did” (part of a signature talk I give) and later in one of the Success Strategies. In the Top Ten, I took out the references to people the teens wouldn’t relate to and added the names of their favorite music artists.
Finding all these artists took some researching online - I found CD covers, the artists’ pictures on sites that sold their music and on their official sites. I took time to listen to some of the 14 artists mentioned. I have to admit, there were even several I liked...I especially loved the uniqueness of the individual and group names.
Every time I mentioned one of their favorites during the presentation, there were cheers and claps. Everyone loves to hear his/her favorite mentioned….whether it’s a sports figure, recording artist or whoever/whatever makes us feel good.
A lot of work, sure…but it was well worth it. When I talked about the strategies of “people and relationships first” and “putting great service to others first and the rewards would follow”, I had them stop and think about what it felt like when they realized that they had been listened to and received what they asked for. I asked them to remember this when they were going to work in their careers and would be serving others. The look on many of their faces as the realization dawned on them of how this truly felt was priceless.
My other goal in asking them to give me their lists was to impress upon them the importance of asking for what they wanted…not now as teens when the sense of entitlement is at its peak…but later as adults when accumulated rejections, losses and disappointments make us forget the power of asking for what we want.
Giving people what they want and asking for what we want are both great jumping off points for our growth and success.

Managing Your Moments of Truth - Determining Your Success
By Leanne Crain
As we learned in a recent ezine, your day is made up of a series of individual moments. On average you, and the people around you, experience about 20,000 moments every single day. Last time we spoke about these moments in a positive to negative fashion. This time, we are sharing another way of thinking of them: Moments of Truth
What is a moment of truth? It can have many forms. In the simplest sense, it is how you handle each moment, and each interaction with other people and your team. Those moments will determine if you succeed or fail as a leader. If you are truly dedicated to your team, you need to concentrate on managing those moments.
Let me give you an example. You are meeting with someone on something you feel is important. That member, while you are talking, feels their blackberry vibrate on their hip. They pick it up, look at it, and replace it. You continue on when they are done. Next, they start replying to an email while you talk. They follow this by looking at their watch. If all this was going on while you were trying to explain something to that person, how would you feel by the end of that moment? Now ask yourself this: why would you ever want to make anyone feel that way?
Keep in mind, these moments will be remembered, relived in memory, and talked about. Are you managing your moments in a way that you would like to be remembered for? When you are interacting with people, try to imagine that everyone is wearing a button on their shirt that says "Make me feel important". Treat each moment of interaction as if that interaction is the most important thing you could be doing right now.
You can extend this theory to the rest of your team. Everyone can benefit from managing their moments of truth. Start managing your moments of truth today. Every time you speak with a person, remind yourself to behave and communicate in a way you would want to be remembered for.
