The thesaurus might equate “disabled” with synonyms like “useless” and “mutilated,” but ground-breaking runner Aimee Mullins is out to redefine the word. Defying these associations, she shows how adversity — in her case, being born without shinbones — actually opens the door for human potential.
Aimee Mullins was born without fibular bones, and had both of her legs amputated below the knee when she was an infant. She learned to walk on prosthetics, then to run — Read More...

After taking our workshop, won’t relate to this funny poem about forgetting….

My forgetter’s getting better,
But my rememberer is broke

Recently, a good friend of mine admitted that he was gay. Well he didn’t actually admit it outright, although he did clearly hint at it openly and jokingly. It was rather refreshing to see him breaking down some social barriers that surround us at varying heights throughout our lives. What’s amazing is I recall thinking, and have always felt, “whatever”! I love the guy and hope that he is a part of my life until the end. That message was crystal clear, unbiased, coming directly from my soul…
So it started me thinking about the whole concept of Read More...
Today’s Top 10 Tips Tuesday comes from life coach Russell Small (russellsmall.com).
Our challenge to you this week is to consciously listen to what you say to yourself. Jot your dominant thoughts down on a piece of paper. Then look at the list below and identify the limiting self-talk patterns you hold (listed on the left). Take these negative phrases and replace them with the affirming phrases on the right.
Remember, what is within, so without. Our inner world creates the outer circumstance and shapes the events that we experience. Our inner world consists of our thoughts, and beliefs.

Has this ever happened to you? You are in someone’s office, or on the phone in your car, and you set up a meeting. By the time you get to your calendar to write it down, you cannot recall the time of the meeting? You have to call the person and look like you either did not really care about your meeting or that you are not very smart. Well, you do care, and you are smart, so how can we stop that from happening?
We will use the Mental File Folder System we teach at our Memory Training Workshop – all you need is a File, an Image and some Glue.

Happiness is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. When you are moving towards a goal, your brain motivates you by producing more Read More...
Today, I want to review the 5 Levels of Self-Talk from Shad Helmstetter’s book, What to Say When you Talk To Yourself. Understanding the definition of each level will allow you to recognize what kind of thoughts you are having and how those can work for or against you. This will enable you to move onto higher level of self-talk which will lead you to a more effective and healthier mindset.
Creating a Business Book Club to Make Your Business Reading Easier
Don’t you just marvel at people at work who talk about the books they read and what they learned? You think, “Good for them, they’ve got time to read. . . but I don’t.” Yes, time is certainly a factor but what’s one of the best ways to make time? Make a commitment to others and meet regularly.
In other words, create a business book club!
Being a member of a business book club is the easiest, most fun way to get you to read while infusing your brain with usable information. (You can also adapt this information for starting a casual book club with your friends.) Setting one up is easy if you follow these simple Read More...
