&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;January&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt; is almost over&lt;/i&gt; and the discussion of goals for the year and this first quarter are still on the forefront of minds. &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; How will you ensure that your goals will take you where you want to go, and how will you make sure that you achieve them?&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Here are five steps to help you do, just that! &amp;nbsp;And, after reading the blog, if you want to take your goal setting to the next level or simply don't want to worry about implementing the steps, our &lt;a href="http://www.executiveintelligentcoaching.com/eic-gsciab.html" target="_blank"&gt;Coach-in-a-Box Goal Setting digital package &lt;/a&gt;will take you through everything you need to know AND provide you with a system for accountability - all for less than the cost of a movie and popcorn!&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Up-to-date Values&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Demands in the
workplace are constantly changing; our family’s needs&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;children's activities&amp;nbsp;are in flux.&amp;nbsp; When you look closely at your goals, do they actually reflect your current values?&amp;nbsp;
I always conduct a values activity with my clients to identify what are
their current, strongest values.&amp;nbsp; Values
are a funny thing when we’re talking about goals.&amp;nbsp; Believe it or not, they change at different
times and phases of our life.&amp;nbsp; And, if our
goals aren’t reflecting the values that are most important to us at a given
time, we’re likely &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; to achieve
them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Aspired Future&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Have you ever
heard a friend or colleague say, “My goal this year is to make twice what I
made last year.”?&amp;nbsp; Well, that’s terrific
if they’re willing to work possibly twice as many hours, drastically change
their work habits or, land a big client that is going to generate a revenue
windfall. &amp;nbsp;While this can happen, what is not revealed
is that for the goal to be achieved, it must clearly move us toward our vision of the future. &amp;nbsp;And, if you want to
spend more time with your family or actively participate in your hobbies this
year, you also need a goal to reflect that.&amp;nbsp;
Think about all the parts that are present in your desired future and create your goal(s) so that it helps you close the gap between here and there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Growth to Achieve&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; People don’t
usually talk about all the hard work that actually goes into achieving their
goals.&amp;nbsp; But, we know that when we achieve
a goal that we’ve set, we worked diligently and pushed ourselves to get
there!&amp;nbsp; One of my teachers, Dr.
Jeffrey Auerbach, Ph.D., articulated the “balance of challenge and support”
necessary for development.&amp;nbsp; I use this
very successfully with my clients, toward the achievement of their goals.&amp;nbsp; We have to push ourselves to get out of our
comfort zone and get motivated, to make the necessary changes.&amp;nbsp; We also need to bolster ourselves along the
way, to feel the satisfaction and encouragement of our efforts.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; Effective Strategies&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How do you know
if the practices or procedures you implemented are in fact moving you closer to
the achievement of your goal?&amp;nbsp; Have you
ever wondered, “How close am I, exactly, to achieving my goal?”&amp;nbsp; Monitoring our progress and evaluating the
effectiveness of our strategies are critical steps.&amp;nbsp; Sure, sometimes we get lucky and are
intuitively so in sync with our goal that we meet it without this; but, the
rest of the time we need to do everything in our power by noticing at what
times and during what activities do we get greater movement toward our goal. &amp;nbsp;Then, we set strategic dates to review our practices and procedures to determine
if they are really the best fit for us to achieve our target. &amp;nbsp;The objective is to catch potential problems during Step 4, modify the strategies where needed, and achieve the goal by the date you have set.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;5. Hitting the Target&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The time of the
goal has arrived!&amp;nbsp; You’ve accomplished it
and will reap the benefits that this success yields.&amp;nbsp; Take the time to reflect and celebrate this
achievement!&amp;nbsp; You’ve worked hard, learned
things along the way and, have strengthened your skills and confidence.&amp;nbsp; Make sure you allow yourself thoughtful
contemplation of these assets so that the progress is not in vain and it supports
you for future growth.&amp;nbsp; It may sound
cliché to celebrate or reward yourself for your achievement but, remember the
line in &lt;i&gt;The Shining&lt;/i&gt;, “All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy.”... &amp;nbsp;What if,
however, you didn’t achieve the goal?&amp;nbsp;
Now, is the opportunity for even greater learning.&amp;nbsp; Thoroughly study your actions and strategies
and figure out what went wrong.&amp;nbsp; Go back
to the drawing board and devise a new plan with new tactics, so that you can achieve your goal!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy Goal Setting!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt; superior(s) and within the organization.&amp;nbsp; Regularly, I come across  leaders who view&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt;themselves as supportive and approachable, yet with a  little probing, more often then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt; not, there is considerable opportunity  uncovered for improving their influence and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt; their accessibility.&amp;nbsp; When  we look at what they are doing, their behavior actually&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt;conveys, among  other things, some unpredictability, aloofness, and/or arrogance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt; This  misconception between the way leaders see themselves and the way they  are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt;viewed by others, is an immediate obstacle to their influence and  credibility.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"&gt; Furthermore, research indicates that the higher one's  position, the greater that...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't Forget the Structure!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So often when I am working with people in groups, I am quickly bombarded with information and requests flying from a variety of directions. This occurs in organizations and groups when they lack a clear process for problem-solving, information flow, decision-making, and communication. It happens when the communication loop is unclosed and causes groups to often repeat steps thereby undermining productivity and wearing on the patience and memories of busy professionals. How many times does this happen to you? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm not suggesting that structures and processes be imposed on a group .... &lt;br /&gt;

Whether you work as a team of executives running a mid-sized company, a team of professionals serving on a board, or a team of managers in a start-up &lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;company, the way, the how, and the what of your teamwork&lt;/span&gt; creates an indelible impact on the culture and the organization you're leading. The team's impact is exponentially stronger than the sum of the individual leaders. And, if you would like to be on a high-performing team, the symbiotic effect of a positive, &lt;a href="http://www.executiveintelligentcoaching.com/team-building"&gt;collaborative leadership team&lt;/a&gt; is the way to get there!&lt;br /&gt;

August - &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Limits to Your Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you think about the things that may be holding you back, don't forget to take a personal inventory. Chances are, the reasons you may not have what you want, are your own doing. I can't tell you how often clients have a goal or something they want to accomplish, yet when exploring opportunities of new actions, they come up with a list of good reasons not to try the options. These "good reasons" are often based on beliefs or thoughts that they have, pertaining to the options at hand. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a newsflash: &amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;If you want something different to occur, you are &lt;/em&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;MOVE Forward. Dispel the Assumptions!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Research has shown that to avoid getting the wrong results, we need to make sure that people aren't operating under faulty assumptions. This was revealed in a 2005 study of the Army OPFOR, a training brigade. The study makes clear, that despite the plan and knowing the tasks to complete a project, even when providing training, there are all sorts of assumptions that people make, leading to unintended results. Conclusions are drawn from the assumptions, which are then acted upon. Unfortunately, this ultimately keeps us from moving forward, because we don't accomplish the results that we seek!&lt;br /&gt;

This is particularly true when we look at the meaning behind messages, .....&lt;br /&gt;

Use it to Maneuver Around the Roadblocks &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Passion is a very useful energy source that often gets overlooked in the workplace. It literally acts like a fuel to your engine. But, to use this fuel, you first have to know what it is. Then, you have to tap into it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Passion comes from feeling strongly about things. They are things that evoke emotions within us and things that we believe in strongly. It makes sense then, that passion charges us energetically... We can also finds our passions in things that make us happy, things we feel optimistic or hopeful about, and circumstances where we feel compelled or pulled toward something. It's' not hard to believe then, that passion helps us get things done. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It amazes me how often we are faced with interactions where another person, for all intents and purposes, does not want to listen to what we have to say. Maybe, if we think about it, we too, often do not want to listen to what another person has to say. As you are reading this, your mind may jump to a recent discussion with a family member.... Hold on. Think about a business conversation you had that didn't go as you would have liked.....&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.executiveintelligentcoaching.com/eic-programs.html"&gt;Here is the link&lt;/a&gt; to&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Building Emotional Intelligence Skills to Support Your Leadership and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Communication Goals&lt;/em&gt; AND &lt;em&gt;Building Natural Talents for the Career of Your Choice &lt;/em&gt;are a highlight of important features from my in-depth individual coaching program, contained in a short-term, specifically focused, group coaching&amp;nbsp;assessment and skills program - for just a fraction of the cost of executive coaching!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm so excited to be offering these programs because this is a great way for someone to try executive coaching with a small&amp;nbsp;financial and time commitment, achieve tangible results, and learn more about themselves in a confidential environment, all with a trained, professional! If you would, please send the above web link and a recommendation to sign up, to your colleagues and loved ones. Remember, these 6-session programs are SMALL groups and will close once each is filled. If you or someone you know, would like to have an Executive Coach guide you through an assessment and building your skills to achieve your goals, at a fraction of the cost, here is your opportunity!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Should this be something to worry about? Well, have you heard of employee rant websites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to strike fear in the hearts of my employers reading this. Instead, I take the position that this could very well be a golden opportunity. As an employer, you can even set up a site yourself, where employees can anonymously rant! If the culture of the company is something that you're wanting to improve, this could be the vehicle to shift that momentum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was interviewed on this very topic a couple weeks ago. Apparently, the new rage is disgruntled employees going to websites to rant about their grievances against you and the company. In a quick search, you may easily find the NYPD rant website, Dell, and a waiter industry rant website. Some of the ranters, I'm sure, are still employed, while others may have left in a cloud of fumes or amidst controversy. The silver lining that these sites provide - a wealth of information that the employer probably didn't have!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on this, check out Nancy's interview and a discussion of "rants" in the &lt;a href="http://www.statesman.com/life/content/life/stories/other/12/16/1216venting.html"&gt;Austin American Statesman&lt;/a&gt;, Life and Arts section 12/16/08.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are an employer and would like to share your thoughts on this topic, please comment. Or, if you'd like some support to improve the culture of your company through executive coaching, team building, designing effective leadership, or creating emotional intelligence at work, contact us to schedule an interview to discuss how we can help you accomplish that and save money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you Happy and Safe Holiday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

georgia;"&gt;During March and April, an Austin entrepreneur used his business to take him on an unprecedented journey. Pushing through “the dip” per Seth Godin’s book entitled the same requires sacrifice that most are unwilling to endure. Godin promises that those who do are typically rewarded with unforeseen business and personal opportunity. That’s exactly what Tom Baum, President and Principal Founder of TRACEe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.tracee.biz/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10;"&gt;www.tracee.biz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;seems to have discovered by immersing himself on the streets of Austin for 40 days and nights streaming live video of the homeless population. Tom found that the risks to himself, his marriage and his business, for a good cause, were greatly appreciated by the homeless community and a multitude of partners, sponsors and volunteers. Furthermore, his bootstrapped business (reference: Bootstrap Network&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Welcome_to_the_Bootstrap_Network"&gt;http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Welcome_to_the_Bootstrap_Network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ) &lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;received a much needed infusion of donated dollars, equipment, services, development and visibility. In fact, Tom claims that this 40 days were more valuable to TRACEe and its future than the 40 or so months in ideation and the valley of death that preceded it!

The workshop was a huge success and very valuable because Tina took us through a series of activities supported with education, which both empowered and enlightened all the executives in the room! Many executives don't spend their time analyzing the visual syntax, color, and typography of their logo and marketing materials. We simply don't have the time or inclination!! Which, it turns out, is exactly why we hire companies like Spoonbend. Before, however, we go to a design company, we can be armed with our profile, Creative Brief, whiteboard, and information that can save us thousands in time and fees! Tina's next workshop is June 20th, contact her at &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="mailto:tina@spoonbend.com"&gt;tina@spoonbend.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Coaching Article&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;The Leader's Greatest Resource&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Regardless the size&lt;/span&gt; of the company you work in and your role or position there, when you're in a leadership role, then people are your greatest resource! What's more, it doesn't matter whether you're forming your executive team, working with an intact team, hiring to increase your staff, or collaborating in a network of professionals to support and grow your business, certain characteristics and strategies permeate the companies that cultivate this resource and thereby reap the greater benefits.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Through our work, Executive Intelligent Coaching has identified several universal principles and steps to hone and nurture the human capital resource. These principles include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;sharpening your attention and self preparation &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;knowing who the right people are and hiring them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;building a foundation for success &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(with the staff)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;knowing when to cut bait and cultivating the right relationships &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Understanding the importance of this is critical to a company's future success. First, in the global workplace we're in, the value of people have changed and are now, more of a central focus of the organization. What's more, people want value in their work and they're looking at the values and culture of companies. Essentially, they have become more picky. And, despite the stressed American economy today, knowledge-workers, professionals, and the younger generation often have choices for work because they're willing to trade those bigger paychecks for satisfaction and enjoyment. - They are seeking more balance in their life!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;So, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;the leaders who espouse and actively practice these principles, enjoy many financial and intangible benefits. To begin with, the staff are more appropriately placed in their positions and assigned duties, leading them to be more efficient and productive. They are also more satisfied with their work-life, resulting in improved customer service, less sick leave, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;increased employee loyalty and less turnover&lt;/span&gt;. The staff, in addition, are more collaborative and work &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;together&lt;/span&gt; more, which yields a positive contagious culture and builds the reputation of the company, also increasing it's attention as a great place to work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;These principles &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;aren't&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; new and they aren't rocket science! They do, however, have a prevalence and permanence we've not seen before... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Stay tuned for more articles on this topic!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Share with us your success stories of hiring the right people, building a great culture, or fortifying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;relationships with your staff.
