Comment on The Light at the End of the Tunnel Has Been Turned off due to Budget Cuts by Mary Ann Steele

Mary Ann Steele — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:54:33 +0000

I’m not trying to be pessimistic, but with things going as they are, I just wonder how long it will be till there’s another GREATER Depression where our pictures will be taken standing in food lines like the old black and white photos of the Great Depression. I pray things turn around, and that our nation gets back to the way it was meant to be. It has become so perverted in many ways.

Comment on Albert and Mr. Harry by Mary Ann Steele

Mary Ann Steele — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 21:55:23 +0000

I’m glad Albert was there to encourage you. If all the people had proper respect and a right attitude they would be blessed greatly. But some are like the proverbial horse that is led to water but can’t be made to drink.

Don’t be discouraged, Harry. There are probably “Alberts” at all of your meetings, and you never know who’s life you’ll touch. I don’t know if or how the “rules” are regarding God, in the work that you do, but you can pray to be a blessing to someone. “Be not weary in well-doing” ~Holy Bible~

Comment on Little Things Make a BIG Difference by Mary Ann Steele

My son, who recently got a job as a Registered Nurse noticed that the hospital he works for was using 3 individual papers for 3 blood tests. He “drew up” his idea of what would work on just one sheet, eliminating the need for extra papers in the medical files and causing extra time doing their charting. He put it in the Nursing Supervisor’s mailbox, and she liked it so much they implemented it right away. It saved two sheets of paper AND ink, plus time saved in charting. I was so proud of him. So, yes, little things do make a difference. I’m SO glad they didn’t take that attitude that “It’s always been done like this.” but were open to a good suggestion. Phillip thinks outside the box.

Comment on Change = Chaos … Is Your Chaos Productive? by Mary Ann Steele

Mary Ann Steele — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:55:49 +0000

In a nutshell what I get out of this is like the little child’s song, “If we all pull together, how happy we’ll be.” Also, the famous words, “Can’t we all just get along?” Many times people adopt the attitude that “we’ve always done it this way”, or “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. In resisting positive change, they’re cutting their noses off to spite their face. Too often, people in management positions don’t listen to the ideas of the “little people” and as a result there is frustration and lack of productivity.

Comment on Zig Ziglar by David Simone

In my early 20′s Zig Ziglar inscribed his 8 X 10 Glossy Headshot for me, “See You at the Top, David Simone, Eph 3:19″ {…and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.} on 11-11-11 his prophecy will be fulfilled. Thank you, Zig. Love you!

Comment on Validation – A Powerful Strategy in Trying Times! by Mary Ann Steele

Mary Ann Steele — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:14:43 +0000

Harry, this was such a valuable contribution, I HAD to share it. Having been verbally “cut down” by some people in my youth, leading to low self-esteem, I realized the power of negative words. I made up my mind when I had children that I would do everything in my power to speak kind words, and give MUCH praise every opportunity I got, which resulted in both my sons being confident and successful in life.

It is my nature to smile and say kind, encouraging words to people everywhere, strangers, store clerks, especially when I’ve seen them berated by someone else, and definately to ALL children when I volunteer in my Grandaughter’s classroom.

One never knows what another is going through, and the kind words you use, and the smiles can turn their struggle around. I consider it a priviledge to do this, but also a personal responsibility.

Thank you once again for sharing, Harry.

Comment on When Is “The Right Time”? by Annie Moses

Sorry I just read your website. I thought it was a personal coaching thing. Sorry. Great business though.

Comment on When Is “The Right Time”? by Annie Moses

Annie Moses — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:54:41 +0000

Loved your article. I’m at a crossroads in my life right now. I’m 54 and ready for this third leg of the journey. Can you tell me a little about your coaching and how it works please? And if you think it’s right me?
I am from Chicago but live in LA. (It’s crazy beautiful but everyplace has it’s own beauty) I am a mother to two daughters, 23 and 19 both doing great in life and we are madly in love with one another!) I am also a photographer http://www.AnnieMoses.com and a designer http://www.magicaloutdoorspaces.com
I feel stuck right now. I’m divorced after 20 years and having to support myself financially. I have so many things I could do and ideas in my head but I can’t seem to get anything started let alone completed! I am a very creative person who isn’t living up to my potential right now and need some direction to my rightful place so that I can be of service to the world in the way that I am supposed to instead of just doing anything to survive. I’m not in the flow at the moment and I know this because I have often been IN the flow and I know the difference real well. THank you for your time. Good luck with your program and it’s very well written. All the best, Annie

The re branding exercise is must for brands like Xerox which is identified with an old regime.

The new brand will bring the freshness in the mind of the internal and external customers.

Comment on Lighten Your Load in Today’s Chaotic World by Dan Cary Sr.

Dan Cary Sr. — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 18:09:45 +0000

Harry,
Apparently need to learn this as this is the second time in as many weeks that I have encountered the same message.
In a presentation by Shawna Schuh last week, she shared how she had been having trouble with her horse biting, and every time it did, she would get upset and being upset would ruin her ride. After watching this happen several times, her husband called her on this. He pointed out that animals do not hold a grudge or remember past wrongs. They just let it go as soon as something happens. He encouraged her to do the same the next time the horse tried to bite. Smack it across the nose so it would learn not to do that, but do not allow the horses behavior to ruin her ride or the rest of her day.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Comment on Why Doesn’t Anyone Take Customer Service Seriously? by pkmukherjee

pkmukherjee — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 05:46:05 +0000

Good post.

Though we expect an excellent treatment as a customer but we mostly forget to treat the customer in the same way.

It becomes a lip service!!

Comment on Little-known Facts about Well-known Leaders – Bill Gates by Harry

Harry — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 23:21:32 +0000

I’m certain you’re absolutely right about Bill Gates having received a great deal of support along the way. However, unlike blockers on a football team, Bill Gates chose those people himself based on their education, experience, track record, and shared beliefs and values. He also rewarded them very well with Microsoft stock which resulted in the majority of them being retired millionaires today. If you’ve followed news reports on this man and the phenomenal growth of Microsoft, I’m certain you’re aware of the fact that he has recognized and credited these people time and time again over the years. He has also shared his success and wealth by creating the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which has provided BILLIONS of dollars in medicine and medical care, research, housing, food, water, transportation, education, technology, and agriculture development to MILLIONS of people worldwide. In fact, he spends the majority of his time at the helm of this Foundation after choosing Steve Ballmer to lead Microsoft. In short, he’s been a pretty good ball carrier.
