Do you know the safety drill of air stewards, “Put your mask on before assisting others”?  When it comes to taking care of everyone else, have you forgotten about you? Are you actually taking care of yourself at all? Or, did you forget to put your air mask on first?

We are trained from a very early age that our role in the family is multifaceted. Often we are not only managing the many aspects of the household and budget, but also have kids with diverse interests and schedules that we wish to nurture and accommodate.

When we add the dynamic of being an entrepreneur and/or leader to the mix of all that needs to be completed in a day at work and at home, it can often land us at the bottom of our priority list.

The danger zone is when you begin to lose your sense of self.

When you take care of everyone else and you neglect you, and everything you want to accomplish you don’t accomplish because there are no parts of you left.

So what can you do to rese...

“Es geht nicht darum, deine Vergangenheit auf den Kopf zu stellen um zu verstehen was „verursacht“ hat das du so bist wie du bist. Es geht darum was du wahrhaftig gerne als dein Leben und dein Business kreieren hättest und ob die Wahlen die du jetzt triffst dem beitragen.

Was könntest du noch wählen das alles was du gerne hättest, und mehr, in dein Leben bringen würde?

4 Ratschläge um die besten Wahlen zu kreieren

1. Was hättest Du gerne in Deinem Leben? Um der Energie folgen zu können wenn du Wahlen triffst, ist eine Frage die du stellen kannst: „Was möchte ich wirklich in meinem Leben haben?“ Der Schlüssel ist hier, sich nicht auf eine Antwort zu konzentrieren wenn du Fragen stellst, denn es könnten evtl. mehr Optionen zur Verfügung stehen als du annimmst.

2. Fühlt es sich leicht an? Wenn ich eine Wahl oder Entscheidung treffen muss, ist ein Tool, das ich...

Unterwegs Richtung Burnout? Zeit die Spuren zu wechseln! 

Dem Stress ein Ende setzen und gesund (und glücklich) werden auf der Arbeit und im Business. 

Falls dich Arbeit nicht glücklich macht, stehen die Chancen hoch, dass sie dich auch nicht gesund macht.

Die Forschung hat herausgefunden, dass Burnout von Arbeitnehmern bis zu 50% an Personalwechsel verantwortet. Obwohl immer mehr Organisationen sich auf Mitarbeiterbindung fokussieren, scheint es, dass nicht nur der Stress am Arbeitsplatz selbst größer wird, sondern auch mit Stress

verbundene Gesundheitsrisiken wie Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen.

Burnout tritt auf, wenn die geistige oder körperliche Funktionsfähigkeit ernstlich beeinträchtigt ist, weil man sehr lange Stress und/oder Frustration am Arbeitsplatz ausgesetzt ist. Die Quellen von Stress variieren, sind aber meistens mit Unzufriedenheit am Arbeitsplatz verbunden, die aus folgenden Gründen resultieren: übermäßig hohe Arbeitsbelastung und hohe Erwartungen oder Forderungen, e...

Die einfache Definition von Leader ist jemand der einer Gruppe oder Organisation vorsteht, oder dort der Hauptakteur ist.

Ich habe eine leicht unterschiedliche Sichtweise. Ich sehe wahre Führungskraft darin, die Veränderung zu sein, die man in der Welt sehen möchte. Es geht nicht darum, Anhänger zu haben, Leuten zu erzählen, was richtig oder falsch ist, oder Antworten zu haben. Großartige Führungspersönlichkeiten sind solche, die aus einer Sicht der “globalen Wellness” heraus wirken, wo in allen Wahlen, die getroffen werden, das Wohlergehen aller beinhaltet ist. (A.d.Ü. ‘Global Wellness for all’ ist die gleichnamige Firma der Autorin) Und, am Wichtigsten, “alle” beinhaltet dich.

Um dein Leben so zu führen, dass es dich mit einschließt, sind hier 6 Elemente, die du beachten solltest. Hör auf, dich an letzte Stelle zu setzen 

Wir sind bereit, die anderen als großartig anzusehen und si...

It’s not always easy to find the words when you don’t know what the reaction will be, but just how much do we avoid speaking up? According to research, 72% of employees admit they do not speak up when they feel they should.

Whether you were taught at an early age not to rock the boat or appear rude, or whether you’re afraid of another’s reaction to a difficult or awkward conversation, there are many reasons we may not be willing to have our voices heard – but have you considered what the cost of not speaking up could be?

Staying silent when you need to speak is not just undermining your personal and professional relationships and opportunities – it can cause harm to your health and well-being.

Here are 4 reasons why speaking up is so important and how you can use your voice to create greater happiness and success for you and those around you:

Challenge limited mindsets and fears

Fear is one of the biggest reasons we use when choosing to ho...

We all struggle at times with revealing intimate parts of ourselves, especially when we cannot predict what the reaction or outcome will be.

However, with communication breakdowns cited by therapists as the top reason for marriage problems, 72% of surveyed employees, and 69% of workplace managers saying they avoid speaking up, even when they know it will be detrimental to their role, project, or business, it is more important than ever to step up and change the way we communicate.

Finding your voice is more than just being willing to speak up in uncomfortable situations – it can open doors for you to embrace your unique difference, empower yourself and others, and expand creative and innovative thinking.

Here are 4 powerful ways that finding your voice can contribute to your life and how to start choosing them:

1. Encourage open-mindedness

To truly have your voice, your first need is to stop judging it. Open and effective communication req...

While I consider myself someone who is willing to speak with family with ease, I can clearly recall times in business or in social relationships where I’ve held back, not asked for what I desired, or avoided being honest about what would work for me—often finding I had mental and physical signs of stress to go along with it too!

With recent studies showing that 69% of managers resist communication with staff and 72% of employees acknowledge that they do not speak up at work when they think they should, som...

Nosy aunties, arguing siblings, a partner nobody likes or a Christmas gift list that’s burning a hole in your wallet – spending the holiday season with family is not always the fun and games we’re told it’s supposed to be.

Communication expert and Right Voice for You facilitator, Laleh Hancock, understands the pressures that family festivities can place on individuals and offers advice for those secretly dreading the coming holidays.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year. There’ll be much mistletoeing and hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

According to popular Christmas songs, the holiday season is a time of unrivalled joy and family unity. However, Laleh Alemzadeh-Hancock believes this rosy holiday image ignores the reality for many Australians. “How many people dread having to spend time with their families at the holidays?” she asks.

Hancock believes that, if not ...

Gratitude is the space in which you know that you are one with all and all are one with you, and you are grateful for it.

You each have a choice, you can do gratitude, or you can be it.

Doing it is the pretense where you have chosen to diminish yourself. Whenever you are invalidating yourselves, you are choosing unconsciousness because it is your personal recognition of how you diminish yourself.

You as a being know everything.

Each person has the possibility at any moment to acknowledge their knowing and to move with that knowing in awareness. And in that they grant themselves kindness and they grant themselves gratitude. If you will admit to knowing, if you will be that knowing, you will take up the limitations and create a heaven on earth for yourself, and with it comes heaven on earth for everybody else.

What if the greatest and the most wondrous gift you have in life is to be you?

What are you grateful for?

Anyone who has achieved great things in business and life knows that to be highly successful, you need to be highly disciplined. I’ve asked hundreds of executives and entrepreneurs about the things they do every day that help them succeed, and inevitably they credit simple routines which have been proven over time to give them an edge. Check out these quotes from nearly three dozen high-achieving individuals who share the habits that help them get ahead.

1. Sleep without an alarm. 

“I only set an alarm when necessary or when something is out of routine. I find jolting awake to the sound of an alarm unpleasant. Instead, I learned you can train your brain to wake up at a certain time if you create rhythms and patterns in your life. It includes telling yourself what time you need to wake up in the morning before going to bed. It really works. I can wake myself up a...
