Read MoreWhen facing an intractable high-consequence problem, your biggest enemy is yourself.
Human nature being what it is, most mere mortals worry their problems into a state that makes them even more difficult to resolve.
Stress builds further and the mind wanders to all the bad things that could happen.
The inevitable delays add more weight to the problem, and more stress and health begins to suffer.
A perfect storm.
So, how do you break out of this vicious cycle?
We all have our own ways, what gets me moving more positively is three simple steps.
Oh, and when you do return to the problem, keep your emotions out of it.
Engage your head (with positive expectations) not your heart. Save the emotions for after you’ve decided what to do.
For me, this frees up my thinking and puts me in a far more resourceful state.
Generally this allows me to find novel ideas and see different perspectives. And the solutions and decisions in hot pursuit!
Don’t suffer a complex problem, set yourself up for success instead.
Read MoreSimple idea to apply if you want to get more attention from powerful people.
Discover where they are looking right now. Network and learn about the challenges and problems they are grappling with today.
This is where the majority of their attention will be.
Then go stand in their line of sight and wave something interesting in their face.
That means, something you have, or can do, that will help them - with their top priorities.
Naturally, you’ll need to quickly back this up with credibility and skill, but I’m sure you already have oodles of that.
This is must easier than trying to distract their attention to get noticed. They are not interested in you when they have problems to solve.
So go on, get creative, step into the limelight, and add much needed value to these powerful people.
Read MoreOne of the great things about life is that each day is a wonderful opportunity for a new beginning.
Whatever happened yesterday, happened yesterday, not today. Sure, you may have some legacy to deal with, but the events have happened.
Normal people carry those events with them into each new day, spoiling it with the troubles of the past. Reliving old dramas, perpetuating anger and frustration.
Extraordinary people have learned to quickly analyse those events, draw some learning from them, and then move onwards and upwards.
Rather than be shaped by the past events in our lives, each day gives us an opportunity to create afresh. Making different decisions, setting new goals, taking different actions - and choosing to adopt attitudes to suit.
It’s not what happens to us that matters, it’s what we make of it that really shapes our lives.
No matter how bad things have been, today you can choose to have a new day rather than relive an old day.
What sort of day are you determined to have today?
Read MoreI wonder, if you respect someone - maybe a colleague or a stakeholder - why? What is it about that that causes you to respect them?
It's worth pausing a few moments and thinking about a few people you respect in your life. Why do you respect them? The way you award respect can make a massive difference to the quality of your relationships.Most people tend to answer that they respect the other person’s knowledge, expertise, skill or whatever. They may even respect them because of the way they treat others, or their direct and honest way of communicating.
That is all well and good, except, there is a problem. Read More
