A Breath of Fresh AIR
From Volume 17, Issue 6: I’ve heard the phrase “being the adult in the room” to describe someone who exhibits leadership, responsibility, and emotional maturity in a situation.
The Value of Clarity
From Volume 15, Issue 1: It’s been almost 20 years since I assembled the team that wrote the book, The Positive Power of NO. At the time there were dozens of books on the subject of YES: Getting to YES, Yes is the Answer, etc. I had gathered a half dozen of my fellow business consultants and asked if they found themselves counseling their clients to reign in the “you can do it” mantra and start to set limits. In other words, figuring out what to say no to.
What do you want?
From Volume 15, Issue 7: What do you want?
Easy question, right? I want a new car. I want to earn twice what I earn now. I want to travel to Europe. The list goes on ad infinitum. And trudging on day after day, maybe year after year, without acquiring these wants can by quite depressing. Clients I’ve worked with have expressed questions of identity and self-worth because they hadn’t yet acquired one or more items on their list.
Clariy
From Volume 14, Issue 2:It’s a pretty overused term: clarity. So I thought I’d put my thoughts on my byword in one of these monthly missives.
Settling
From Volume 12, Issue 6:Why do I settle for something that I don’t actually want?
Clarity (After all, the title of this monthly missive is HDClarity!)
From Volume 12, Issue 3:When I sought out a standard definition of “clarity” or “clear,” I found synonyms like “coherent,” “intelligible,” “transparent,” and “pure.” Pretty understandable, right?
I suppose these synonyms work for a good general explanation of what clear means. But, I actually find them a little… unclear.
Wanted: People who Know What They Want… and Why
From Volume 10, Issue 1: What do you want? Money? That tops a lot of lists. Lottery win? More clients? Vacations? Love? Great sex? I’ve discovered that many of the things I think I want aren’t my true desires, and you may suspect the same for yourself. Discovering why you have a certain want can help you get to the bottom of what will truly satisfy you.
