God, Family, and Hard Work: The Subtle Difference between Value and Values

Ask people today to write down three things they value they will tell you God, family, and hard work. In the last ten years of interviewing students I get a combination of these three 10 out of 10 times. I know this seems crazy, especially with an American society that is infatuated with hedonism, the divorce rate continuing to spiral, and technology continuing to diminish the need to work hard...

Character, Integrity, Respect

Decisions are a daily part of life. Once your understand your core values, you will better understand your decisions. I spent 10 years at Saint Paul's Episcopal School in Mobile, AL and emblazoned across the front of a huge three panel window were three words that have been forever etched in my mind: character, integrity, respect. These three words became more than words to me as they were woven in the education and sport experiences that ...

The Power of Parents and M & M's

What transpired over the next 30 years was a mother and a father that refused to believe what the experts told them and willed their own values of responsibility, personal growth, development and freedom of choice imprinting the concepts around each learning activity. I can remember at a young age that traditional teaching methods would not work when I was learning how to learn - more specifically how to read.

Growing up, ...

Do You Look For Teachable Moments

Since my days at Southern Mississippi I have often said that it is through these series of teachable moments surrounding our education and experience that some basic truths can be found and now that I have had time to reflect on those, I believe that a process can be developed that will provided tools for people that continue to seek to become something bigger than themselves. I see the same issues taking place both personally and prof...

Struggle: The Key To Unlocking Our Unique Ability

One constant theme seen in my life is struggle. My struggle first came in the form of cobwebs that did not melt away in my eyes. Don't worry, most do as part of protective coatings that everyone has and ultimately melt away in the womb as part of the maturation process. T...

Colby B. Jubenville, Ph.D. — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 19:11:51 +0100

Time To Bounce

Colby B. Jubenville, Ph.D. — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:58:28 +0100

The topic last week on Change Your Life Radio focused on a challenge we all face - how do you make sense of life's changes? These changes could be ones you need to make or ones that happen naturally. We spend a lot of time talking about change but not a lot of time talking about transition. How do we understand the "season" of life we are in, how to we utilize it to serve our greater vision, and how do we "bounce back" quicker if we're in a tough transition in life?

MOJO Killers

Colby B. Jubenville, Ph.D. — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 19:01:49 +0100

Coach Micheal Burt discussed MOJO Killers on Change Your Life Radio last
week. If you did not tune in, here is what you missed!

1. Missed Opportunity that you were not ready for. Not seizing opportunity
sends us into a downward spiral. If the opportunity is gone look for the
next great opportunity in your life.

2. Over-committing, over promising, under delivering. This happens to all
of us because we take too much on. Focus on the things that are most

I Just Want You to Know Who I Am

Colby B. Jubenville, Ph.D. — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 17:30:31 +0100

On the way home from Change Your Life Radio the Goo Goo Dolls song, Iris, was playing on XM and the chorus made me reflect on the show. The chorus echoes

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

It got me thinking about that topic of the show "How Will You Measure Your Life" and how many of us feel like what the chorus of the song is speak...

Throw the Flag

Change Your Life Radio focused on dysfunction in our lives and the workplace and we want you to bring FUN back in what you do! To bring the FUN back it is important to identify where dysfunction originated in our own lives.

The dysfunction in our lives is easy to spot. The more difficult question is, "Where did it come from," and "How am I contributing to it?"

Coach Burt focused on areas that can help you identify where dysfunction mayhave originated in your life. Understan...

Mr. Ritch's Rules of Life

Mr. Ritch, the kindergarten teacher of my daughter Mary Burke is one of the finest educators in the country. He has a branded kindergarten experience that changes the destiny of each child. Focusing on confidence and helping each child find their unique voice, Mr. Ritch creates a framework where each child must learn and incorporate into their own view of the world while they are on The Rock, which is what Ritch has branded as his classroom.

1. Go through a discovery period where you can become curious. True discovery will happen when you think you are in over your head! This leads you to connect with your passion and allows you to look to others to better understand how to do what you want to be doing!

2. Get a mentor who is in the field you want to be in. Experience and education are the keys to success even during difficult times. Find a mentor who wants to invest in you and you will find both.

ROI – A Post Operative Accounting Statistic

Why do marketers have to justify their budgets? Why is it, when budget cuts are made, the first place organizations look is to cut the marketing budget? Maybe it’s because we don’t really understand or have not clearly defined the power of the department we lead.

For the purpose of this piece, marketing should be defined as sharing the story of your organization, its ...

Coach Burt's 5 Step Plan To Fail with Style

Colby B. Jubenville, Ph.D. — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:59:58 +0100

1. Replace the question "why me?" with "what is this trying to teach me?"

2. Ask the question, "what did I contribute to end up where I am?"

3. Get stable. Stability provides us with a chance to take a better perspective.

4. Get help. As you have heard coach say ,"everybody needs a coach in life."

5. Get busy. Start to focus on the things that you can correct in order to change your life!
