Three Voices that Affect Your Results

May 7, 2015 by Steve Laswell

The Wall Street Journal headline announces “U.S. Productivity Falls 1.9% in First Quarter.” What if your personal productivity made the headlines, how would it read?

  • Feast On This Platter When Overwhelmed

    March 5, 2015 by Steve Laswell

    The Grande is a platter on Abuelo’s menu. It’s promoted as “The ultimate combination!”  Seriously. Three enchiladas, a chile relleno, a tamale, crispy beef taco, and guacamole. (I recommend substituting veggies for the rice and beans and a tamale for the chile relleno.)

    Sam’s iPhone pierced his thoughts whispering the seductive suggestion: “Something big is in the works; you’ve got mail.” With the speed of a barehanded housefly catcher, Sam grabbed his phone. “I hope Marlene is confirming they’re ready to go on my proposal. What a…

    January 23, 2014 by Steve Laswell

    Christina’s work eats an unhealthy portion of her life.  The past 20 years she intensely pursued her career. More recently she carried a heavy load with a start-up of epic proportion.

    The cost? It’s taken a toll on her relationships and leadership … yes, conflict and unnecessary stress. The demand and pace squeeze out self-limiting behaviors that have minimized trust, disengaged the team, and created…
