In Search of Clarity
A reader recently posted this question on my blog: I found this especially helpful: "The longer you hang back and allow yourself to be held captive by a decision that didn’t turn out well, the more difficult it becomes to take a step forward. Adopt a success habit of moving forward ..." Any advice, though, when we aren't entirely sure what a step forward looks like? Ooooh, that elusive clarity… Finding clarity requires that you build space into your daily life that allows a deeper connection to where your business and life are calling you to go.

Know-It-Alls ... Don't Know This
Last week in a session with a client, a Division I basketball coach, we spent time talking about what she was doing on behalf of herself and her team to incorporate new tools to support a successful season. The list was long -- and wide. It included support across mental, physical, emotional, and skill-specific areas.

Choosing a Mentor to Grow Your Business and Life
Aligning yourself with the right mentor is an essential tool to take your business to the next level. Finding and choosing your mentor deserves careful attention. Although my past achievements may look quite different (for example, practicing law, building an elite performance consulting company, becoming a highly paid speaker, publishing a book with a national publisher), they share a commonality. In each of these endeavors, I've more quickly reached a higher level of success by aligning myself with a mentor who had experienced what I needed to know to move forward.

Numbing Away Our Humanity?
I came across a video this week that features a new technology that captures people’s attention in a novel way. It’s worth watching simply to take a look and ask how you might use it in your business. But its value far surpasses this. In this video, Sir Ken Robinson, makes a powerful call for a paradigm shift in education. This struck me at a deep level, given my raising of 3 kids (including one we home schooled for a couple of years to provide him more of what he needed at the time) and my work on behalf of lower opportunity kids in the non-profit sector.

Oh, What a Year It Was!
Oh, What a Year It Was! I recently shared with our Best Life Design Community, an exercise by Dan Pearce of Single Dad Laughing (http://bit.ly/fGL6t0) shaking up the New Year’s resolutions process. Instead of listing everything he wanted to happen in the New Year, Dan created a future memory at the beginning of the year about how the year progressed. We encouraged our Community to write their own 2011 in review, so it’s only right that I get the ball rolling and share mine. Here it goes…

It Starts and Ends with…You
Recently, I’ve been in a front row seat to watch the dynamics of a couple of experiences that on their face may have nothing in common. The first is a friend dealing with a spouse having an affair. The second is a business relationship, in which the service provider refuses to acknowledge that she fell short of providing what she promised and is playing the role of a victim toward her “demanding” client.

Decisions, Decisions...
In order to keep my inbox at a level of activity that fuels and not drains me, I limit the newsletters I receive to half a dozen. These include two newsletters that hit on Sunday from colleagues I greatly respect – arnpsychologist and a psychotherapist. Both experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate men. Last Sunday – the same day I excitedly announced bringing my Performance Psychology work to our online community – similar announcements came through in their newsletters. They do great work and I wouldn’t hesitate tornrefer people to either one of them.

Beyond Gesundheit (Bless You!)…
Peak performance and success is filled with paradox. From ancient philosophers to modern day researchers, we marvel at these seeming contradictions that resonate as truths. This week brought an intimate experience with one of my favorite paradoxes: In blessing others, you become a benefactor of the blessings you give away.

What Makes Us Feel Small
Recently I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Brené Brown as part of our Ask the Expert series. Thank you to our Community for your profound questions, and to Brené for her wise guidance. Some of the questions addressed perfectionism and what to do when someone uses our vulnerability against us. I see a lot of perfectionism in my work with elite athletes and business people and rely on Brené‘s work in this area.

Living Happily Ever After…Today
The field of positive psychology (which partners closely with the fields of neurology, biochemistry, eastern medicine and others) is built on the scientific premise of neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to change. This means that greater levels of happiness are attainable through practices that change how your brain functions.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dr. Mollie
• When you focus on the process, the outcomes not only follow, they significantly increase.
• You can’t give away what you don’t have. Living your best life starts with abundant self-care. Treat yourself like you would a friend – especially with the things you say to yourself. Silence the inner critic and be kind to yourself.
• When you learn to manage your energy and not just your time, you position yourself to create more, feel more, do more, give more and become more.
• Everyone is in sales. We are all in the business of communicating, persuading, negotiating, and influencing other people. Get comfortable with selling and embrace the most important thing you will ever sell to others: your authentic self.
• You have two lives on earth. One you’re given and the other one you make. Show gratitude for the first and own the second. Take control and design your best life. Today.
