by Chris July 29, 2010

One of the presuppositions of NLP is that the meaning of a communication is in the way it is received. I posted a guest post from Dianne Lowther of Brilliant Minds on this presupposition back in June of this year, but think it is worth visiting again. It is that important. But, in this post [...]

Achieving more… step-by-step

by Chris July 20, 2010

All of us want success, however we define it. We may want to earn more money, have more free time, be more balanced, or beat our boss at golf (not the best career move, by the way…). But in many cases, achieving our goals – whatever they may be – requires effort, and may be [...]
