Your World Has Changed – Where Are You Today? Struggling to cope? Working harder and longer with less satisfaction? Tired of overselling and over-promising? Taking on clients you really don’t want? Looking for a partner? Re-evaluating your personal goals?

We Cannot Change People, Places, Events We can change ourselves and our firms We can attract what we focus on in business and in life and achieve extraordinary results We can change our attitudes, habits and beliefs and become very powerful people and have very successful businesses

Creating Your Vision of Success At Work and in Life

The Trouble With Visions We think about wants – not true desires It’s hard to be brutally honest with yourself Fear usually clouds the picture

Rosenberg’s Rules Write down where you are today Write it as if it’s happening now Take a “gut check” Come back to the present

Begin to Enjoy the Process Identify the gaps Internalize the vision Believe it will happen

From Fish! “The danger is that if our quest for ideal work focuses us on the future we will miss the amazingly wonderful life that is available today, in this moment”

Now Here’s a Radical Thought What if you could attract to your life – Ideal clients – Ideal employees – Ideal friends – Financial security – The vision you created for yourself?

So, What Do You Do Today? Understand the principle of attraction – Whatever you focus on in your life you will draw or attract to you Attractive people attract those who want what they have Attraction is success without striving

The Attractive PR Firm? Over-responds to every problem and turns every event into an opportunity Under-promises and over delivers – always Masters its craft, innovates for sheer joy, invents new ways to work Derives its strength from who it is rather than what it does Unconditionally constructive and sees perfection not problems in staff and clients

“If you are going to reinvent your organization, than in order to succeed you must first reinvent yourself.” Tracy Goss, The Last Word on Power

So, What Do You Do Today? Stop focusing on the negative – Doubts will interfere with the outcome

Doubts Come From Fear Fear is the biggest stumbling block to change Embrace fear as a “wake-up call” “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

Begin to Change Your Attitudes, Habits and Beliefs It’s not about the words; it’s about truly believing Truly believing creates a mind-shift Mind-shifts promote possibility thinking

Begin to Change Your Attitudes, Habits and Beliefs Trust your intuition – become an expert Become radically grateful Seek and share knowledge

The Keys to Mastering Change Take stock of today Create your vision(s) for tomorrow Commit to changing old behavior, attitudes and beliefs Get support – friends, colleagues, mentor or coach

Remember … You can’t change what’s happened, you can only change yourself Digging deep to find your true vision is difficult but unbelievably rewarding As you begin to believe you will attract what you truly desire Mastering change will show immediate results

What I’d Like You to Do Today Work hard at breaking down some old thought systems Open yourselves to some new thinking and some new ideas “If you want to fix your future, start by fixing yourself.” Tim Sanders, CSO, Yahoo

Train Yourself to Listen to Your Intuition – Become an Expert When it’s easy – do it When it’s very difficult – step back and let it go (maybe it’s not supposed to happen!) Pay attention when you don’t feel good inside Pay attention when you do feel good – Avoid the “it can’t last syndrome”

Become Radically Grateful The more grateful you are the happier you will become Learn to look behind what outwardly feels so painful Begin to see everyone, even your competitors or your worst employee as giving you a gift to grow Take the time and you’ll find the deeper meaning in what’s happening to you

Become a Knowledge Seeker and a Knowledge Sharer The more you know, the more valuable you are – become a master Become willing to share your knowledge with others – Good intentions produce the right results Help others become more successful The more you give out the more you will get back

Begin to Change Your Attitudes, Habits and Beliefs Commit to making changes in your thinking It’s not about the words; it’s about truly believing When you truly believe, you create a “mind-shift” This is called “possibility thinking” Beware the negative voices
