Happy New Year! 

Hope all had wonderful holidays and are excited about the year ahead!

My  newsletters had taken a slight hiatus, as I had to take a step back to focus on the systems of my business. Working the systems isn’t quite as much fun as interacting with all of you; however, it is something huge to concentrate on for business growth.  Focusing on the clarity of what I have been creating has been a must and  has been a challenging proposition. What I do so naturally & do in such an integrated way, has been difficult for me to breakdown.  As more clarity and systems have been gained, I can now resume the consistency of my newsletter. Looking forward to the year ahead with YOU!

 Warm Regards,

 Marie

 Suddenly downsized

When I was suddenly downsized approximately two years ago, I, along with many others  who experienced this,  again learned the true meaning of creating life in your vision rather than relying on the actions of others in business or life to determine that for you.   It reemphasized the mantra that constant growth is a mainstay to achieving your goals in work and in life. Constant growth means getting out of your comfort zone. Growing means seeking and participating in constant personal and professional development. Build your strong foundation by identifying  your passions, strengths and abilities while  clarifying your purpose and vision. When you work this process, you begin to work towards creating work/life balance and fulfillment.

 The Pace of Knowledge and its Application

The world has forever changed and technology has increased the pace of the transfer of knowledge and change by “light years”.

Increasing knowledge is one aspect of learning. Without application and intentional direction of knowledge, knowledge is not power.  Goals, deliberate practical applications, accountability and reassessment are all key to successful knowledge application.  

In order to identify aspects that contribute to your knowledge and growth for whole person leadership, CSC created the Building Blocks of Connection which represent important knowledge connections : Authentic, Relationship, Learning, Time, Productivity, The Plan & Support.

Today’s global, rapidly changing world represents knowledge opportunity!

Marketplace Mandatory Skills for Business & Life

* The ability to brand and market yourself with the skill to communicate this

   in person & virtually

*  Knowledge of your strengths, as well as your gaps, so you can surround

   yourself with a complete team (personally and professionally) and aren’t left

   vulnerable with blind spots.

*  The ability to think like entrepreneurs (outside of the box, innovation,

    problem solving)

*  To embrace diversity in others including thinking styles, affective    

   differences and cultures

*  To create strong relationships

Powering your Personal Leadership Continuum

All of the above are traits that power your personal leadership continuum which begins with your empowerment. We are all leaders whether we hold the position or not.  We all  hold the power to influence.  

Personal Leadership Foundation Fuels Maximizing Business Performance and Cultivates Business and Life Success.

Fuel for CSC Services

All described in this newsletter is the foundation for my company and embedded in the variety of services we provide: Power Training for groups, corporations and individuals. I didn’t set out to create all of this; it has authentically  evolved! In summary and figurative terms, we’re no longer talking about getting on the  bus, we are talking about flying  on the mother ship.  If you want to fly successfully, the above referenced is your travel map.

Fourth Quarter Contiuum for Business & Life Effectiveness

   4th Quarter Contiuum for Business & Life Effectiveness

How is all going in your 4th quarter?  Are you happy w/career/business?  Life in general?  Are you achieving and feeling what you have wanted?
 
If wanting to enhance 4th quarter, the next year, and move faster towards yours goals, here are some thoughts and actions to help you achieve all you would like:

Take inventory daily on your business/life effectiveness.

Be proactive in what you are intentionally trying to create for your fourth quarter and following year.  

We are all free agents in the marketplace.  This statement helps simplify things and negate excuses.  We are all responsible for our outcomes.

Intentional outcomes are achieved and enhanced by increasing  personal awareness.

Developing your awareness helps further determine your uniqueness, distinctive strengths and  qualities,  (what you bring to the table) – and these are your branding points.

 Your branding points and articulation of these, aid in the creation of enhancing and formulating your vision/mission for career/business and life.

The articulation of your distinctions and where you are headed  is powerful and creates clarity for you and hence, others.

Clarity is a qualitative, evolutionary process.

Clarity is your power foundation and without it, as without any foundation, you are unable to thrive as you were meant to.

 We are all marketing ourselves in everything we do in business and life, thus, doesn’t it make sense to be crystal clear on what we are talking about?

 Become clear, move forward & ACHIEVE!
 
Warm Regards,
 Marie
