Knowing is Not Enough #1114

The Elimination Diet #1112 

by Sue Hawkes

What are the current habits inhibiting my future progress?  Often, to affect change, we consider what new habits we need, the opportunity of learning what someone else has done to become better, more thoughtful, and effective.  Too often, we don’t consider what’s in the way.  How our current thinking, communication, and behavior limits the opportunities and creates exactly what we…

Lifestyle Thinking #1111 

by Sue Hawkes

This blog is quoted from James Clear. I thought it was so good it should be shared.   He suggests the Pareto Principle as a lifestyle:  “Relationships. Who are the few people that have the most positive impact on my life? Spend more time with them.  Priorities. What are the few actions that have the most positive impact on my day?…

An Expensive Habit #1108 

by Sue Hawkes

We’ve all been there — waiting until the last minute to complete a task, thinking it only affects us. However, the ripple effect of procrastination extends far beyond us. Unintentionally, our actions impact those around us, sometimes significantly. When we delay, we unknowingly disrupt schedules, burden others, and compromise the quality of collaboration.

Success or Luck? #1107 

by Sue Hawkes

Success isn’t just about being talented or having good luck. Talent alone doesn’t guarantee victory, and bad luck doesn’t guarantee defeat. They do play a part, but your response will determine the outcomes in the end.  Think about famous artists, inventors, and athletes. They had talent, but it was their hard work, resilience, and ability to adapt that made them…

Dance Partners for Success #1106 

by Sue Hawkes

Whoever said structure kills creativity clearly hasn’t met its partner. Picture this: creativity strutting around like a free-spirited rockstar, leather jacket, wild hair, and breaking all the rules. And who’s right there, making sure the show goes on? Structure, the unsung hero in this creative jam (by the way, this is also how Visionaries and Integrators partner).  Think of structure…
