Some people seem to have all the luck, don't they? We all know someone who is well connected and constantly has advance knowledge of the best opportunities before everyone else does.

At least once a week I get a call or e-mail from someone who tells me they bought a book to set up the feng shui in their home but that instead of being helpful these books have left them feeling confused and frustrated.

It’s unfortunate that their experience with feng shui has left them frustrated rather than enlightened but not surprising.

Is maintaining a positive attitude at the top of your “will do” list today? Are you finding it more and more difficult to go to work, look for a job or encourage others? According to a leading communications strategist the negative economy and discord in government has actually changed the way we think about tomorrow and communicate with each other.

When many people think of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui, they oftentimes consider only the interior of the home.

Something I have all of my coaching clients do, no matter what coaching program we're working on, is to develop what Thomas Leonard called, "The Elevator Speech".
