detriot jersey - Life's 5 F's
By Coach John Daly

Life has a lot of things going for it. You would think that the 5 F's of life would not be any of them. But they are. If any of you have your mind in the gutter on what the 5 F's are, now is the time to clean that out. (hehehe)

The 5 F's, once understood and worked on, can lead to success in your life in so many ways. The 5 F's simply are Faith, Fitness, Family, Friends and Finance. Faith is one of those topics that people have thoughts and ideas on, but is kind of ignored in general conversation. Most of this fear of talking about this is that they want to not offend others. Also, the thought is that things have to be kept separate. We can't talk about our faith at work too much, in schools, with others. There is a distinct reason that it's listed first. It really is the most important. If you take a look behind the scenes of just about all successful people, you will find the importance that faith played in that success. There are countless articles and experiments out there that have connected faith to being a healthier, happy, and satisfying life.

We can't really go anywhere today without hearing about how important Fitness is. Remember now, this is just not physical fitness. Fitness does carry over to emotionally, psychologically, and our attitude too. Most people like me, wake up and realize they can't just keep doing what they always did and feel good. For me being 43, that wake-up call has already happened. It takes work to be physically fit. Not only is it needed but it is worth it too. Successful people take their fitness very seriously and you will usually find it high on their priority list of things to do on a regular basis.

I also think as we get older Family comes into play a lot more than we ever thought of before. We can't choose our parents. But we can choose how we treat them, learn from them, behave around them, and as they get older too, it's also a choice to help them too. When it comes down the grand scheme of life, family is one of the important foundation pieces to a successful life. We need to work hard to help our families. Our choices and decisions we make in life affect a lot of people, our family first and foremost.

We have heard that the wealthiest people have the most Friends. A good friend of mine often says you can measure true friends by the fact that they would drop everything to help you. They don't judge you; they simply are there for you no matter what. That same friend said the more important part of that statement is how many people can count you as that friend. He has told me and my students countless times, we are truly lucky to have enough of those true friends to count on one hand. Who are those that can count you on their hand?? Those wealthy people with all the friends, most of the friends are not really true friends.? It's only because of the money most of the time.

Finance is not meant to be the least important, just because it comes last on this list. In fact, finance is one thing that is both necessary in life, but also one that should also be worked hard for. I'd be the last to say that money is the most important thing in life, for it really isn't. Too many people work just for money yet never find true happiness. We must remember it is simply a tool. People use tools for both good and bad choices. If we can work hard to stay out of debt, have our money grow to help and serve others, and detriot jersey realize the more detriot jersey we help others the more money will actually detriot jersey come our way. In today's world, a financial education is worth priceless amounts.

Your best investment is always yourself. How will you invest in yourself and your future today? Where do you rank in these "5 F's" of life? Drop me a note, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

The Life You Inspire May Be detriot tigers white home jersey Your Own

by Michael D. Hume, M.S.

We're supposed to help each other in this life.

A lot of my clients aspire to be more inspirational as leaders... that's an aspiration I know a lot about, which is probably what draws these clients to me, and it's one I firmly support. Whether you own your own business, or work as detriot tigers white home jersey a leader in an organization, being able to help inspire the best in your teammates is a great tool to have at your disposal.

The ability to inspire others starts by being inspired yourself. If you are a sad-sack who sees no great passion in life and daily work, you'll never be a particularly inspirational leader. So find a way to turn on your own lights, and keep them lit, and you'll have great potential as an inspirational leader.

That brings me back to the detriot tigers white home jersey notion of helping each other. Some of the most inspirational leaders do not carry around an inflated sense of themselves - rather, they're humble people who sincerely like to help others. I've seen good CEOs hold the door for rank-and-file employees, and I've seen managers make themselves emergency babysitters for their underlings' kids. Sure, there are arrogant folks out there who'd never do those things, and there are plenty more who are simply too self-absorbed for the idea to ever occur to them. But the great leaders who serve and help others do it because they cannot do otherwise... and because it inspires not only the receiver of the assistance, but especially the giver herself.

Have you ever found yourself looking at a self-made millionaire detriot tigers jersey and wondering what that person has that you do not have? After all, there has to be something that contributed to the millionaire's success -- something you have not quite figured out yet. Here is the deal… All self-made millionaires have three things in common. Many would pay a pretty penny to find out what these three things are. detriot tigers jersey I am going to let you in on the secret for free.

Unwavering Drive

One thing all self-made millionaires have, without fail, is unwavering drive and detriot tigers jersey ambition. Do not think these moguls experience instant success. The majority of self-made millionaires experience their share of defeat before success is ever achieved. The difference is the fact that they do not let defeat stop them. When these people fail, they pick themselves back up, brush off the dirt, put themselves back together and jump right back on the track to success.

If you want to succeed in life, learn a lesson from this common millionaire personality trait. Do not let failure stop you. Each time you fail, rejoice in it. It brings you that much closer to success.

Constant Thought

"I think, therefore I am." Sound familiar? It should. Descartes was quite a wise philosopher and he definitely understood the power of thought. So do self-made millionaires. The mind of a successful person is always at work. They breathe success, they eat success and they dream success. A common man looks at a pile of garbage and does not think anything about it. A successful man looks at a pile of garbage and wonders how it can make him a profit.

Many of us start in completely the wrong place, focusing on our end of the equation: Thinking about being assertive, getting what we want, putting our point across, having impact, persuading people, winning the argument, and so on. When we need to influence people in organizations, none of these one-sided approaches is the answer. More assertiveness, persuasion, logic, impact, and influence aren't going to solve the problem. We're looking in the wrong place. Putting it bluntly, we need to back off.

Now, there's an understandable tendency to equate influencing others in organizations with selling to customers. We talk about "selling ideas" and borrow learning from the extensive resources in the very important area of sales, tigers dark blue and white hats thinking that it translates quite easily. That's dangerous because it doesn't.

There's a tigers dark blue and white hats better approach...

We need to shift our focus away from what we want to put across and toward what matters for the other person. (Of course, the most effective salespeople do that as well, but it may not be the first thought of the professional person seeking to persuade others of their point tigers dark blue and white hats of view.)

We have all encountered toxic leaders and they exist in all walks of life from the business world, the military, government departs and even some entrepreneurs. Toxic leaders are those individuals who because of their destructive behaviours and personal dysfunctional qualities inflict serious harm on the people they lead and their organizations.

There are many psychological theories which try to explain why some leaders become toxic. However, what really matters to most of us is not the reason why people become toxic but how to handle them more effectively. It has been suggested that we all need authority figures and people who we feel will create good conditions for our survival. However many toxic leaders hide tigers dark blue and white caps behind grand illusions and noble visions promising a great deal but often delivering little. We can become deluded into thinking that they are strong leaders when in fact they are often narcissistic and ineffective in the leadership role.

So just how do you deal with a toxic leader to minimize the impact they have on you, your colleagues and the organization in which you operate?

Firstly find out if the toxic tigers dark blue and white caps leader who is causing you concern has a history of unacceptable behaviour. When did they operate before coming to your organization? Can you talk with any individuals who have tigers dark blue and white caps worked with them in the past? If you can build a history of the toxic leader' share it with your colleagues and those who are affected most by the unacceptable behaviour.

Nearly every supervisor in the workplace feels they can be approached by others, but are they really "approachable?" ??What does "intervening" in the workplace mean to you as a supervisor or foreman?? What does it mean to the one being supervised??

In this article, we will examine the final moments of three aviation accidents in an attempt to get at what makes approachability in the field so difficult.? How can we become more approachable from the bottom up, from the detriot dark blue and white hats top down, and peer to peer?

When the dominoes begin falling, accident investigations often reveal that someone on the job could have intervened with a critical piece of information but either did not speak up or was not listened to.

Our purpose here is to not pick detriot dark blue and white hats apart each falling domino, but simply to look at the final moments, the end game, "the last domino" -- Approachability.

Reflect inward and ask yourself, what does "approachability" really look like, sound like, or feel like in the field? ?What you may find is that being approachable and intervening on the job is not as clear cut as you might think.?

- Air Florida Flight 90 ? crashed into the icy Potomac River January, 1982 (74 fatalities).
- Comair Flight 5191 - departed from the wrong runway in Lexington KY on August, 2006 (49 detriot dark blue and white hats fatalities).
- PanAm & KLM 747 crash on the island of Tenerife ? worst aviation accident in history (583 fatalities).

In each example, the pilots (workers) had the power to stop the work before disaster, but failed to do so.? Why?

Let's look at the final dominos of Air Florida Flight 90.? Just as they begin the work, the takeoff roll:
???????????????????????? Cockpit Voice Recorder transcripts
Co-Pilot :?God, look at that thing. That don't seem right, does ?it? Uh, that's not right. (Referring to engine gauges)
Captain:?Yes it is, there's eighty. (Referring to airspeed)
Co-Pilot: ?Naw, I don't think that's right. Uhhh, maybe it is.
Captain:?Hundred and twenty. (Referring to accelerating airspeed)

?Co-Pilot?I don't know?
NOW BARELY AIRBBORNE, THE SOUND OF THE "STICKSHAKER" (warns pilots of impending stall) ?
HEARD CONTINOUSLY UNTIL IMPACT

Captain: Stalling! We're falling!"
Co-Pilot: Larry! We're going down Larry!
Captain: I know it!

When employees in the field are unsure of what they are seeing or experiencing they either won't speak up, for fear of looking stupid, or if they do speak up (which is the case with Air Florida) they may not be able to articulate exactly what they can or cannot see.? It is difficult to clearly explain a bad feeling you are having, especially to a supervisor.? So beware, approachability in the workplace may look or sound something like:

We enjoyed a visit this past Friday from a couple of senior leaders, as well as a few staffers, from our higher headquarters and the headquarters one up. A few weeks back, we had a similar visit, and our guests detriot dark blue and white caps included THE senior leaders two levels detriot dark blue and white caps up (my boss and his boss).

Regardless of the degree of formality with these visits, they are always to some degree, tests and inspections.

Sometimes you will get indications that the visit is formally or informally a test or inspection.? Such indications could be found in the title of the visit (inspection, site assistance visit, program review).? The itinerary or agenda may also provide clues.? Further, who is on the visiting team (auditors, inspectors, quality control personnel) may indicate an inspection or test.

Other times, there will be no such indications that the visit includes an inspection. But the visit is still, in many ways, a test.? Everyone on the visiting team is observing and forming an impression, and will likely share that impression of you and your organization with someone at some point in the future.?

Think about it this way: if visitors from your higher headquarters come into your area and find discrepancies or problems that were not previously known at their level, do you not think that these details are going to be directly and immediately communicated to higher (perhaps with the connotation that they found something bad that you were trying to conceal)?

In any case, it pays to prepare for these visits as if they are a test (because, once again, they are).

Enough doom and gloom. detriot dark blue and white caps Let's examine this from a positive perspective: while these visits can be stressful and challenging, they can also be exceptional opportunities to showcase superstar performers; communicate ideas, challenges, or issues; and obtain resources and support. More on this later.

I have gotten to see several of these visits during my time in the Army, from the positions of visitor, 'visitee', and casual observer. When the visited organization's leaders prepare, the conditions are set to allow these visits to go as well as possible. When the visited organization's leaders don't prepare, it creates the potential for the visiting party to not feel welcomed. This is a bad way to start a visit from higher.

Further, during one of those times where I was the visitor, I received the treatment recommended in the list below, and I can't emphasize enough the value of a proper welcoming, forthcomingness with data and information, and just some basic hospitality and friendliness.? It really made me feel special, and set the conditions for a positive, productive visit.

??

Steps for a Successful VIP Visit

In order to create the best possible chance for a successful visit, and to take full advantage of senior leaders' and staffers' full attention, I recommend that you the following nine steps.

1. Establish Contact.? Start with 'We've received notice that you're inbound to visit, and I wanted to call and say welcome'.? Ask if they require any assistance getting in.? Confirm the timeline of their visit, as well as exactly who is coming.? Is there anything in particular that they want to see or discuss (gather intel and prepare)??

Once the initial call is made from you to the senior visitor, have your subject matter experts contact their counterparts on the visiting team to begin dialogue (and the collection of intel).
