The Life Diamond: Pathway to an Enriched Life

A satisfying and joyful life is like a diamond: a combination of involvement and activities in several different "facets" (Career, Self, Family, Significant Other, Community, Social). Being hyperactive in all facets isn't a joyful solution; nor is restricting activities to one or two facets. Women often get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget what is vital to us. Does the way you spend your time reflect the heart of who you are and who you hoped you'd be? Does it reflect your true priorities, your deepest feelings about what is most important to you? Learning to use the Life Diamond to construct your life more purposefully will not be easy, but the payoff will be huge to you, and to the variety of "others"-coworkers, family, friends-who matter most to you.

Creative Leadership: Thinking "Out Of The Box" and Nurturing Your Employees to Do the Same.

Creativity is a central need of the human organism. Yet all too often, this function is "turned off" for most of us in early childhood, when we begin searching for the right answer, rather than reveling in the joy of finding lots of answers. This pattern is even more codified in most large business organizations, where managers are focused on following existing patterns and proven solutions, rather than spending the time and energy to look for a "better way." Yet creativity is not a random, unpredictable skill set. It follows a process that can be understood and encouraged in even the largest of organizations. Once you understand the process and begin applying the tools and techniques that stimulate creativity, your own creative thinking will burst forth, and so will the creative contributions of your employees.

Transform "label goals" into "context goals." Harness the three powers of external language, internal attitudes, and your untiring subconscious, to propel you toward achievement of your goals.

The Power (and Joy) of a Woman's Way of Networking.

Particularly when you reach mid-management and begin moving to higher levels, networking is a critical tool that will expand your career possibilities and speed your progress. Yet most women shy away from networking activities because they have a negative impression of it as a "taking" tool. But the instinctive nurturing instincts of women gives them an advantage-and a method of networking that is far more powerful, and positive. Learning to approach career networking from a "what can I do for you" perspective (rather than a "what can you do for me" framework) will result in stronger relationships, and more meaningful reciprocation. It will also distinguish you from most of those "needful networkers" who surround you.
