Other Added - Strategic Planning Reinforces Possibility Thinking
All the preparation and knowledge in the world cannot prepare you for an audience who does not like or believe you. Many of my clients face public audiences who are hostile or who do not want to hear the message that is being delivered. However, even in the most tenuous scenarios, some presenters seem to develop rap
Suddenly, you look at your executive team and your employees with a new lens, a new filter. You are now actively seeking individuals who will challenge the status quo, but who have the leadership skills to work with your existing executive team.

As you can imagine, I am often asked by sales leaders, anxious to recruit the best salespeople they can afford, just what is it that makes a consistently top performer, what are their characteristics, where are their strengths and what differentiates them?Over the past twelve years I have trained and developed
Maybe you always have had the same people at your strategic planning table. These are good performers who are comfortable with how the company is currently performing. Possibly, they have a belief that "If it ain’t broke, why fix it?" The ability to think outside of the box is not their strength.

These people think in terms of Yes, it can be done! and So what if we fail, we just regroup and try another approach. Possibility thinkers are not afraid of taking risks because they know that success comes from failure. To try is better than to not try at all.

Before that the Beanie Babies craze was in full swing and collecting was fun and often quite lucrative. The newest is the Webkinz craze. It is hard to predict how long the Webkinz craze will continue. The B
