		<description><![CDATA[There. I said it.  Getting what you want isn’t easy.  It takes hard work, commitment, and focus.  Duh.  Like you haven’t heard that a million times.  So why do we still have so many people who aren’t getting what they want?  Why do we have millions of people who are settling for less in their careers and relationships than what they are capable of?  Are that many people really that stupid and lazy?  While it might temporarily boost your ego to say yes, the reality is that they’re not.  Humans want something greater.  It is written into our DNA to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a professional image and TV expert, author, and speaker, Sarah helps women and fashion-conscious men navigate the world of image, media, and most importantly, judgement.  Sarah has found a way to call her own shots, do what she loves, and serve others in the highest possible way. Noticing the Call While working in corporate boardrooms, chemical plants, research laboratories, restaurants, and fashion shows,  Sarah noticed how differently people are perceived and treated depending on the image they presented. I think most people notice that too.  But we don&#8217;t quit our jobs to do anything about it!  That&#8217;s how Sarah [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that&#8217;s only true if you want to live a truly remarkable life.  All too often, we think and plan our way through projects, trying to predict every outcome in the mistaken belief that if we can avoid mistakes we can avoid failure, and more importantly, judgement.  After all, if we have a meticulously thought out strategy for everything, then we have someone or something to blame when things don&#8217;t go according to plan.  We say things like, &#8220;Well if this person would have done their job, I wouldn&#8217;t have been put in this situation.&#8221; Or more often, &#8220;We would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life doesn&#8217;t always go exactly according to plan.  Sometimes you wonder &#8220;How did I end up here and how do I get back on track?&#8221;  Sometimes, you need a new track altogether!  When you are stuck, the only way to see the path to what you want is to gain a new perspective. Navigating What&#8217;s Next is a weekend retreat designed to help you do just that.  You will see what&#8217;s really holding you back, what your options are, and you&#8217;ll be able to make decisions that will help you get what you really want.   Whether you are looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Management is not leadership.  Especially the type of management that happens at most companies.  Feedback sandwiches, performance appraisals, and outdated bonus structures are not only killing performance and costing companies tons of money, they are robbing people of their dignity.  Whoever came up with the feedback sandwich needs to be shot led by a real leader. In searching for ways to reach corporate goals and grow their organizations, managers have sought to increase people&#8217;s performance through these various devices and to some extent, it&#8217;s worked.  However, high performance (the kind most organizations are looking for) comes as a result of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I found this video and thought it was pretty awesome. It also made me think really hard. Take a look: &#160; Never been happier???  A gift from God????  This guy is either completely f#$%ing nuts or&#8230;&#8230;.HE GETS IT! Ever wonder why it sometimes takes a life-changing situation to help others gain perspective on why they&#8217;re here and what they&#8217;re here to do?  A bad diagnosis, a messy divorce, hitting rock bottom &#8211; all are classic examples of turnaround points.   As a #2, I&#8217;ve learned the hard way that when I try to make the hard stuff easier for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I found this little story on the internets: Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before  long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As  soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result – all the  other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey  tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys [...]]]></description>
