The futur of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion)
For whom and why is this topic so popular? A trend or a necessity in business today? These are the questions that came to my mind, and it’s the start of the school year that answers revealed themselves!
The highest form of leadership
I've been in business all my life! My family was in business, I was in business and I worked for SMEs and large companies! I observed leadership, I was lead and I became a leader myself! Courses, books, training on leadership, they come by the douzen! There are so many, that it’s confusing. In this post I would like to offer you an ultimate look at leadership and what it has become for me through business and life experiences.
An invitation to go deeper with mental health
Dealing with mental health or helping/leading those that might be dealing with it, this is for you!
I was hoping to get this message out for a long time! There could not be a better moment than this week! Mental Health Week!
We have all experienced some challenges with depression or anxiety, to different levels; hence I know we can all relate to this topic somehow.
In an article that I wrote lately about mental health for Brainz Magazine, I suggest that our evolution will have to go through a deeper shift that talking and having tools in regards of mental health!
What does your path to happiness looks like?
At one point in our lives, we stop, typically late 30s early 40s or early 50s and say to ourselves: “Wait a minute! Is that all there is to life!”
We can have had a lot of success of very little, yet the intention is persistent and says: “I want to be happy, really!” Perhaps you got to this point, like me, with many failed relationships, unfulfilled in my work, a bankruptcy and then abundance!
Why those challenges … again!
Didn’t we all face a difficult time, yet again, and thought! Why? Why is this showing up into my life!
There might be several reasons for that, depending on the lance we put on or perhaps one could say that it is just life unfolding!
Our heroic journey!
Aren’t you tired of seeing, reading, hearing about how we (humans) are destroying our planet, making wars, killing out of greed and profiting over one another in this incessant quest for success and money!
If that is too macro, let’s bring it down closer to home and look at how we are living mostly a life based on status, performance, competitiveness, control, power; where hustling, money and material possessions are badges of honour.
Stop your inner war
How come then, do we lose touch with that essence? To put it simply, we get programmed! I once heard someday say that the movie, The Matrix, was much more of a documentary than a film!
Honouring and respecting our life paths
Last week I posted this video following and interesting conversation with someone! The person seemed shocked that I was very accepting of the challenges before me in regards of someone else’s life path! I’d like to unfold here how you can also be Stoic and compassionate when you are facing difficult challenges, situations and people at work or at home!
Our life purposes
Purpose, meaning, calling… all words that you may read about, listen too and reflect on for yourself! I know I did for many, many years! Still do! Sometimes inspiring, other times scary filled with stress, anxiety and comparison!
I’ve recorded a YouTube video lately on the subject because it is dear to my heart!
Conscious Selling
Sales, as we know it, as never really talked about consciousness! All of the traditional models are giving us a multitude of tricks and tactics to influence and close deals! Science, via psychology has, of course, made its way into this profession to understand the human psyche, yet the end goal always remained the same: Sell, close, win deals and make money!
Is there all there is to sales?
Do the work!
The following quote stayed with me, and I must admit I do not remember the context, but what if we gave it an ultimate meaning! Originally meant for your professional life, let me spin it a little bit so that you may apply it to all aspects of your life … Especially when it’s challenging!
Commitments on the Second Mountain
Maybe Joseph Campbell would define it as your hero’s journey. It seems fair to sum it up by saying that our journey to the top of the first mountain is motivated by the ego.
