TED Talk: How Body Language and Micro Expressions Predict Success - Patr...

This is so interesting.  What is your body language saying about you?  What about your micro expressions?  Communication is not just the words you say.  After you watch this video, click here to check out my article on Emotional Intellegence.

Emerging Leadership Success … with HorsePower!: Focus

I recently gave a 90 minute keynote to a group of new leaders and managers for a multi-location healthcare organization.  It generated a high level of enthusiasm with a group largely made up of talented, driven millennials.  

When many young managers reach leadership roles, they struggle to achieve the results they want. Focus is one of qualities emerging leaders should consider …

       

If you are leading a team, department or entire organization,  here are some things you need to Focus on:
 
·      What you want to achieve in the short term
·      What you want to create in the long term
·      What you want to create for others

Remember, stay focused and you will be a successful manager, at work and in life.

“Puppy Training … with HorsePower!”

Our new little puppy, Molly Mae turned 4 months old today!

She is an adorable 6# Maltipoo and already knows how to “sit, stay, down, come, play ball, heel and walk on her hind legs” (check out the video)! 

Now before you think I’ve lost my mind creating a Newsletter about “puppy training”… there’s a reason I’m excited to share why I think Molly, this journey and HorsePower is so amazing!

The components in “Communicating with HorsePower” go way beyond horses, people, organizations and teams… they work with Molly too!

Here’s what I’ve learned…

1.    To get the best from horses, dogs and especially people you need to understand what their telling you and REALLY LISTEN!  One of the many pleasures of getting a new puppy is the chance to become familiar with the messages their sending to you and to watch them start understanding what you’re telling them…with your voice, facial expressions, gestures and total body language!

2.    Dogs have their own intuitive body language and to be a good, positive teacher for Molly, I need to understand her “language” and send clear, concise and fluent messages to her!  I’m thinking of it as “putting myself in her paws”!

3.    Wolves and dogs have identical DNA and their instinctive preference for living is in a pack (just like horses prefer a herd and people prefer a team).  But to be a leader in the pack, herd and team unit – you must be authentic, respectful, honest and demonstrate integrity... or you won’t be the leader very long!

4.    Molly came to us 6 weeks ago healthy, cheerful, energetic and with an inquisitive, positive attitude toward the world.  I’m giving her the same attitude back, staying upbeat and spending time to get to know her individuality, skills and personality… we’re in a cooperative partnership working together!

So, I’m being patient, positive, consistent and persistent (OMG…there’s the true meaning of HorsePower again!), really focused on Molly and listening intently!  I praise her often - reinforcing good behavior and I appreciate her wonder! 

Molly has her own spirit.  Separate and unique.  Just like all of us!  

Take care…and remember to …

Four Key Energy Elements: Spiritual Energy

The Fourth Key Energy Element is Spiritual Energy.  Defining, reflecting upon, and regularly revisiting our core values and our larger purpose at work is a powerful source of energy and direction.  The challenge is that introspection requires quiet, uninterrupted time, an incredibly scarce commodity in today’s world.  

Few of us pause regularly to think about why we are doing what we are doing, where we are headed, or what consequences are likely to be.  Instead we spend our days feeling compelled to act, react and transact.

Did you know that 60% of employees feel their decisions at work are often more influenced by external demands rather than by a strong, clear sense of their own purpose?  Also, 58% of employees feel there are significant gaps between what they say is important in their life and how they actually live.

An organization is a human community that can realize its highest potential only when each individual is fully valued and feels fully vested in a shared purpose.  The better peoples needs are met, the better they feel and the better the organization functions as a whole.  A company that invests in its people across all dimensions of their lives and rallies them around an inspiring purpose is actually investing in itself.  

The impact of low spiritual energy causes lack of passion and commitment,

decreased commitment, and dramatically increases turnover!  

How are your employees feeling about their purpose at work?
