Make Living Life to the Full Your Highest Priority
On May 31st at 12 noon I received a telephone call which I found hard to comprehend. My brother aged 49 had died whilst on a training session preparing for the London to Brighton Cycle race. At first, I simply couldn’t take it in. I drove to Colchester hospital but have absolutely no recollection of the jou ey. I can only apologize to any motorists I may have irritated on the way. David was my younger brother. He was a successful business man who was, so far as we all knew, extremely healthy.

What Will Your Last Words Be?
The loss of someone you love is always very difficult but out of bereavement comes a golden opportunity to examine your priorities and to re-evaluate the way things are done. The loss of my brother made me think about many things at a personal level and also it gave me the opportunity to think about how a sudden bereavement impacts on others. As I thought about it there were a number of lessons which stood out. I started to think about the many clients I work with and how the lessons created through David’s death might be of value to others.

Are You Guilty of Horsetrading
Pure love is very simple. You love the person for who they are – right now, whatever they are doing or not doing. In its simplest terms, you love them and give your love unconditionally. Many of us believe that is what we do, ye, the reality is, we love them, but we want something in return. A classic example of this is how we use attention. When someone is pleasing the horse trader, doing what they want, are present for them, spend each moment with them, give good eye contact, and listen actively to what their partners have to say.

When Does Giving them a Hard Time Pay Off?
When Does Giving Them a Hard Time Pay Off? One of the fundamental principles of modifying behaviour you don’t want is that you reward the behaviours you most want to encourage. Yet many partners of workaholics work against this principle. Picture this;- A wife or husband wants to spend more quality time with their partner. They are tired of feeling left out and on their own. They are feeling frustrated, lonely and fed up. Unde eath, the emotions are bubbling away until the spouse arrives home.

What makes the difference between success and failure
Any business owner must have asked themselves that question countless times and it has never been more pertinent than now. I read some research earlier this week which focussed the top ten worries for business owners. They included some pretty weighty issues, survival being top of the list. Does worrying about survival actually make things worse?

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gina Gardiner
Successful organizations ensure that their staff operate as a co-hesive team. Any organization is as good as the people they put together.
Each person brings with them a unique set of skills, knowledge, intelligences, attitude and "baggage". Build the team so that they work together as an effective unit and the resource grows potentially to provide not only the combined skills and experience of those involved but that 'magic' extra that such a positive interaction can create. A cohesive team facilitates the pooling of skills and experience, keeps ideas buzzing, enables people to find creative solutions to any problems they face and keeps their company at the cutting edge.
”Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” - Henry Ford
”Big thinking precedes great achievement.” -- Wilferd Peterson "Teamwork is the abilty to work together towards a common vision. The abilty to direct individual accomlishments is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. - Andrew Carnegie "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves to be great." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Strength lies in diffesences, not in similarities" - Stephen Covey
”Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” - unknown
