6 Tips to Resolve Conflict Now
Listening is essential to running a successful business and creating a phenomenal team. Employees are inevitably going to have upsets. The real opportunity is to create an environment where they can share their upsets and create new significant breakthroughs and insights. To create a coaching culture in your business, the first step is to coach your employees to listen from the space of being completely present with the listener. In other words, so they are simply listening rather than taking sides (defending against the other person’s story or buying into it).

Grow your business through being negative!
At first glance this story might seem like it has nothing to do with building a thriving business. However, as you read this, I invite you to consider where you haven't been willing to "get off it" with someone or something in your business. Getting off it is a willingness to take responsibility for your part in the drama and the story you've been telling yourself about those situations in your business where you feel stuck.

*** The 1 thing that is holding you back
I've come to realize that the situations that challenge me the most as a leader and business owner are the ones that bring up a lot of emotions for me. Immediately my internal dialogue kicks in. In the moment it seems like my internal dialogue is simply reporting the truth about my situation or the person I'm upset with. And before I'm aware of it I get caught up in my inner commentary and self-made internal reality and forget that it's simply an internal conversation that I've created about my situation.

As a leader and business owner, I have two choices: I can choose to create a future based on my past or I can choose to create a future that is inspiring, exciting and based on pure possibility. To distinguish this, I ask myself 3 questions: 1. What is the future that I've been moving in to? In other words what is the current conversation that I've been living in my mind? This is the default future that I've been creating.r

The Power of Acknowledgment
I was facilitating an on-site training for a business recently. Several times during the training the request was made by the employees, “for managers and leaders to acknowledge the positive.” I have found this to be a common theme in most every business. Employees often feel like the only time they get attention is when they are doing something wrong instead of when they are doing things right. This is why I intentionally choose to begin my leadership training's by having the owner acknowledge something that they sincerely appreciate about each of the leaders.

***Using the Power of Integrity to Transform Your Business
Webster's dictionary defines integrity as the state of being complete or undivided. When we act out of integrity we're operating from a deep and secure space within ourselves. This affords us enormous power to achieve our dreams and goals. When our inner selves and outer selves are in concert with each other we are not easily thrown off course with what we say we want.
