Mine Your Resources Stretching It's Legs

Written on August 27, 2009 by

For those of you not yet on my newsletter list, I wanted to share some of the new developments you can expect at Mine Your Resources (you can sign up here if you’d like to get onto my monthly newsletter list). So here goes:

* I’m doing a lot of writing these days: my blog, guest posts, Bottom-line Bookclub programs… and I have a few ideas for DIY coaching programs and live workshops that I’ve wanted to start writing, but haven’t had the time to start yet. So I’ve decided to trim down my blog posts back to once a week on Mine Your Resources. These posts will be on a Tuesday. I will however be posting links for the guest posts I write for other blogs, so you can easily find them. You’ll still get lots of great tips and tools – some will be on my blog and I’ll help you find the others I write for other blogs.
* I’m busy working on a full website for the Bottom-line Bookclub, with some additional resources, which I hope to launch in the next few weeks. I’ll be making the Bottom-line Bookclub monthly learning programs available individually (at a higher price point than the club membership) for people who wish to buy just 1 particular topic that’s relevant to something they’re wanting help with right now.

Top Tips For Dealing With Change When It's Thrust Upon You

Written on August 25, 2009 by

There’s no doubt about it – we’re all dealing with more change than previous generations ever did before us. And a lot of those difficult changes are being forced on us, as a result of broader changes across the world. Nobody really wanted the economic recession and the changes it’s brought in our workplaces and businesses, and a lot of us haven’t wanted the constant restructuring, re-staffing and system changes going on all the time in our workplaces either. But as the world becomes more interconnected, as technology continue to advance, and as we all try to keep up and stay competitive in a global economy, we’re all having to deal with more change than ever before.

Call with Jamie Smart: How to Change Easily & Effortlessly

Written on August 20, 2009 by

Jamie Smart has been one of my biggest teachers when it comes to NLP. I’ve bought most of his recordings of his trainings to learn from over the years, and it was a dream come true for me to attend a live training with him earlier this year. And what was EVEN COOLER than that was having him on a live call and sharing him with all of my peeps yesterday!

Jamie has the most amazing talent of being able to take complex technical NLP concepts and tools and make them simple, and then apply them in a way that uncovers just how rich they are, and he does it with authenticity, fun and a genuine love for other people.

What Happens When You Say Yes?

Written on August 18, 2009 by

In the previous post I started sharing about some of the powerful life skills and lessons I’ve been gleaning from impro story-telling. Impro is a form of theatre where the story is made up by the team of actors as they act it out. Nobody knows where the story will go, because they’re creating it together on the spot, often in collaboration with the audience. The context of uncertainty that’s created within the impro games and story-telling sessions is in many ways similar to the fast-paced, high-change, unpredictable environments that many of us are living and working in these days, so I’ve found a lot of the impro perspectives and skills are highly relevant to thriving in this era.

How to Design a Lifestyle to Suit Your Preferred Change Cycle

Written on August 13, 2009 by

Working with people who are living or working in high-change environments, I’ve noticed that a lot of them seem to be in those high-change environments because they enjoy change and they’re better than most people at dealing with change. The Renaissance Souls among them feel alive when they’re learning something new, so they seek out new experiences and change their work on a regular basis (or feel frustrated when they don’t). The aspiring traveling location independent professionals I work with are drawn to the stimulation of changing their environment regularly and living in different parts of the world. And the software and business consultants I work with have often chosen to consult because they enjoy being involved in leading change in an organization. But while they’re all attracted to the idea of change, there are a variety of different change styles amongst them, and so they prefer different timeframes for their changes, and different degrees of change.
