I begin with every client in the same way. I check to see if they are clear on where they are going...really clear on exactly what they want in their lives and what they feel is in their way and if they are not clear, which is true of nearly 95% of my clients when they first start to work with me, then we work together to create their compelling future.

Hear me clearly...their compelling future, not my vision of what they "Should Want".

Is your compelling future in place?

Here is what I think should be in your compelling futures:

At least your 5 most important goals in the next 12 months.

At least your 5 most important goals for the next 36 months.

At least your 5 most important goals for the next 10 years of your life.

So, obviously I want my clients to be clear on what they are going for. What else is involved?

I am starting a seminar series next week for The Boulder Chamber of Commerce that I called "The 8 Foundational Business Skills Seminars". The vast majority of the audience will be small business owners or the employees of small business owners. So what does this seminar series have to do with prospering and massive achievement and fun in Corporate Business? Let's look at the titles of the 8 seminars:

Creating Compelling Futures aka Your Futures so Bright You've Got to Wear Shades!

Positive Self Motivation Strategies aka Do What You Must and Have a Blast While Doing It!

Excellence in Planning aka Way Past the PDA

Effective Networking aka From 1st Meeting to Referral Relationship

Rapport aka The Words You Say Hardly Matter...Learn What Does!

Building a 100% Referral Business aka Prequalified, Presold, Full Margin and Wonderful

Creating and Maintaining Peak Emotional States aka Who is Driving This Bus Anyway?

Fearless Self Promotion aka Fear into Power

As I looked at these titles today, making the final tweaks in my material to really provide the best information to my mostly small business audience, I realized that these same skills would wonderfully enhance and transform the business life of any executive.

For you, faithful readers, what would your life be like if you really mastered all of these skills?

This series was originally titled "Your Rock Solid Foundation, Best Year Ever, Let's Finally Get Moving and Create our Dream Business and Have a Blast While Doing It Seminar Series". I still like that title, but some felt it was perhpas a nibble long.

Welcome. This blog will provide insights and tips and solid tested advice taken from my 22 years of experience of coaching in "Corporate America". That's the pool of existing knowledge and it is significant.

My business and consulting knowledge is also growing rapidly each and every week. I am an avid reader of business nonfiction and I still work one on one with select clients in executive positions around the world. My client identities are always held in strictest confidence, as are the details of our work together. That said, my knowledge and experience is always cutting edge and you will also hear about the latest and rarely (in my experience) greatest trends and theories.

So, why should you read this blog? Here are just a few of the topics I work with: Career Advancement Techniques, Surviving Corporate Politics, Prospering thru Corporate Politics, Achieving More while Working Less, The Path from CFO to CEO, moving from CEO Fortune 2000 to CEO Fortune 500, Compensation Review Plans, Working with your Board of Directors and many more.

Come back often!
