The Positive Energy Workplace

I was on a flight from NYC to Chicago a couple of weeks ago and sat next to a gentleman who'd worked for a large financial firm on Wall Street. He was now without a job and exploring options. As I spoke with this guy, what struck me was his attitude. He was looking at this "horrible" situation, one that was stressful and would have a large impact on his family (including a possible relocation), as an opportunity to re-assess and "start over." He said, "I've been so caught up in all of this for so many years, in many ways I've lost sight of what's most important and what I really want to be doing. While I'm not loving this; I'm scared and uncomfortable, I'm secretly excited about what's to come. I feel I have a fresh start." Hmmmm. Different mindset, wouldn't you say? And one that was already serving him greatly. (Do you ever notice the kind of intimate conversations you can have with perfect strangers at 33,000 feet?)

Want one of the quickest ways to shift your mindset, create some space and get out of your own way?

The DTE Personal & Leadership Development Power Pack Tour has begun! I'm just back from trips on the East Coast and West Coast (and many flights) that included testing, feedback and charter memberships. If you are interested for yourself or your organization and would like a visit from yours truly to share these puppies, let me know. For those who qualify for charter membership, I'll be running around the country over the next couple of months to help folks get set up. Will I get to see you?

[AND special note on the Power Packs: Our charter member organizations will be launching their subscriptions and programs June 1st - if you would like to get in on this early, please call or email me directly. In order to participate in the June 1st launch, be a charter member, and to take advantage of the special pricing incentives, we need to have you in our system, as a member, by May 8th.]

Right now in this economic and business climate we are inundated with information. Good information. Useless information. Hype. Not hype. Words of motivation. Words of dread. Words that inspire and make you want to make your business and life better than ever before. And words that may make you want to pull your covers over your head and "wait" until all this grief and recession stuff is over.

What to do with all this information overload? How can it help us? How can we move through it as effectively as possible? Two things come to mind (and course there are more!)

1) Check your mindset,

2) Get into - and stay -in action.

So let's do that here....
