We send the resume', fill out the application, know someone or somehow we get ourselves into a job /career interview.  Here comes the question, "What Now?"  We may find ourselves excited, nervous, wondering and more.  Would you like a tool that provides you a quick reference in order to improve your interview skills?  Want to increase the opportunity to get a second interview or offer? It seems as though weekly I am discussing job and career adventures with individuals and seeking ways to improve their job / career search.  Recently as I was visiting with an individual, he informed me that he has been attempting to get a job in his field for the past two years.  I asked him why he thought he wasn't successful in his attempts.  He explained that he gets several interviews, but never gets a call back or an offer.  I asked him what he thought the issue was?  He stated that he had no idea and was looking for some s...

  What do you own that is of the most value to you?   Recently I have been receiving inquiries from around the world seeking answers for "life changes". The inquiries weren't about money or material items, but about life. We all are seeking that answer to who we are and what we are.  Do you find yourself waking daily seeking the answer to a different path in life?  Are you questioning your life's value?  You are most likely experiencing some inner dissatisfaction, drive, calling, redefinition of purpose, or just seeking to find You.  Many years ago I came across a quote: Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once                                              Lilli...

Life is a never ending course full of obstacles, surprises and hurdles.  Do we create these in our relationships with others?  It is amazing how we get so caught up in ourselves that we neglect our loved ones.  This happens all too frequently in our relationships even when we believe that we are the experts in love and living.  It catches up to us and we can't even see it coming.  I am reminded of an episode of Cheers involving Dr. Frasier Crane and Lilith.  She admitted to Frasier that she had an affair.  Frasier realizes how he had not worked on the relationship and was caught up in himself and life around him.  He shares his realization only to find that Lilith is moving on.  She decides to live with her colleague with whom she has fallen in love with.  Watch the episode and you will get the idea: Season 11 - The Girl in the Plastic Bubble. The point is, we all tend to neglect or have the hardest time sharing wit...

I am sure that after the 0-6 start for the NY Football Giants, fans and the organization are questioning the, "What Now?"  The initial reaction any time an individual or organization is struggling, is to begin to blame.  The organization begins to look at the personnel involved and begins to question what to do. The radio hosts and news  outlets are feeding fans with their "blaming" analysis.  The players are questioning the coaches and each other.  It is a "blame game" feeding frenzy out there! The Giants have very good people in place on and off the field.  So, the quick fix might feel like they need personnel changes.  This kind of reaction can create some initial changes, but tends to not be sustainable.   In reality there is a more simplified solution that can help the organization realize the success it has had over recent years.  The problem the team is facing now, is the creation of habit.  They begin to ...

Give this one a try.  Wake up tomorrow and scream, "This is going to be the greatest day of my life!"  You may disturb the dog, your loved ones and even awake the ghosts in the house, but what you will be doing is setting your mind on a positive track for the day.  What we establish as we start our day is our frame of mind.  How are we going to interact with others at work and at home?  Will what we bring to the day that influences those around us?   In my book, "Tennis Everyone! An Empowering Way to Improve Your Interactions with Others", I discuss how there is an Attitude Set to our game.  From the book: Attitude Set       When we play a game, we bring with us a certain attitude or drive.   Setting your attitude can really make a big difference in any interaction you encounter.   Practicing attitude is essential while remembering to keep it simple and to not overplay it.   I may have covered...
