It's time that we accept that things simply don't stay the same and speed to change is the new reality of business. Like any other new reality it requires new responses. There is not more change than there was in the past the change just comes more quickly. Comp...

Don't Seek Success; Seek Self-Actualization Author : Paul Siegel
"You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give." So said Winston Churchill. Cooperation and giving is better for you than competition and taking.

When they win and become CEO rats, they wonder why they are depressed and unhappy with their lives. The rea...

Get Out Those Legos Author : Dr. Dorene Lehavi
Many of my clients are working harder than smarter. This is not a put-down of their intelligence. It is a statement about the conventions of the way most of us live and work. Without a concerted effort to step back and take an objective look at how we function day in and day out, we find ourselves subject to old ways of doing things without periodic checkups to see if they are working. The first step to changing the high stress road to burnout ap...

Throughout our marriage I took care of our two children, the household, and worked full-time without a contribution from him beside his paych...
