A Better Measure of Success

by Corinne on May 14, 2013

Measurement of your success in your business or personal life can rarely be accurate using the bottom line numbers alone. An individual may be deeply in debt after fighting a battle with cancer, yet feel a deep sense of appreciation for life and a re-commitment to their dreams. Their bottom line wouldn’t offer the full picture for this person. [...]

Yes. I am encouraging you to be selfish!

by Corinne on May 13, 2013

When it comes to keeping score, numbers and money matter. They also only represent one piece of the pie. I know that your dream isn’t exclusively about making money. There is more to business than the bottom line; there is an impact we want to create in the world. So our means of measurement has [...]

All too often, as business leaders and professionals, we take keeping score all too seriously. It has to be all numbers all the time.

It’s Time to Get Curious

by Corinne on April 8, 2013

Can you remember the last time you learned something new and really interesting about the people you do business with? Be honest. If it hasn’t been that long it’s because you have good timing. Truthfully, most of us – especially business owners – get so focused on our to-do list that we completely ignore another [...]

How much time do you actually spend communicating? Most of the time we spend “communicating” can really be best defined as “talking” or “waiting my turn to talk again.” Even the best listeners in the world fall into this trap.

The Committed Organization

by Corinne on March 25, 2013

Imagine having an organization full of committed individuals. I mean really, truly, deeply committed. What would this look like in your business? Having everyone on the same page working to achieve shared goals and objectives, putting personal differences aside, forgetting how to play the blame game because the result is what actually matters.

What Are You Afraid Of?

by Corinne on March 18, 2013

Do you know what the number one thing is that keeps people (myself included) from really and truly committing? You probably guessed it. Fear. That’s right – because every single commitment has inherent risk. When you give something your absolute all, and work really hard… you want and need it to work out perfectly. That [...]
