The key is to be conscious about what you are spending money on, and to avoid the pitfalls of focusing on everything except your revenue.
You’ve got a presentation coming up in two months.
What do you do? Get cracking on that speech immediately or do you wait?
You’ve got time after all. Then 2-months turns into a month. A month turns into a week and now you’re panicked.
Why did you procrastinate so long? Why did you put off writing your speech?
I posed this question to my network on LinkedIn: What's the hardest part of writing your speech?
The results of this informal poll revealed the biggest block to writing a speech is (drumroll please):

In Jungian personality theory, people fall into a number of types. Firstly, individuals fall somewhere along the introversion-extroversion continuum, depending on whether they are primarily oriented to their own inner reality, or the outer world. In addition, everyone has a dominant function, one of: thinking; feeling; sensation or intuition.
But from a depth psychotherapy perspective, what is particularly important about Jungian personality theory is the orientation where the individual is weak. FOr it is those weak parts of the personality, that the person is seeking to develop and to come to wholeness or individualtion. So, we can learn a great deal about ourselves, if we can undersatnd our areas of inherent weakness, and where psyche is trying to work towards wholeness.

Congratulations on your new mentoring relationship! Mentoring rewards can be enormous but it does take effort and of course, preparation. There’s plenty of advice out there how to be a good mentor and much of it is solid. However, we’re excited about providing you with tips you can start putting into action today.
As a leader you have a tendency to repeat behavior that becomes both automatic and unconscious over time. That’s why most leaders are used to making decisions in the amount of time needed by others to understand the question. They’re on another level. This stumps beginners whom are looking to become leaders. The most common question becomes: How do leaders make great decisions even when they find themselves under pressure?
The answer is that all their decisions are made based on accumulated experiences from past situations which have helped them grow in their field.It’s no surprise that great decisions are instinctual. In time, great leaders get used to being under pressure. This become a normal feeling for them and they know how to control it.
On the other hand, regular people get stressed when they’re under pressure. They begin making deficient decisions because their brain goes into panic mode.
Not everybody is born to become a leader, and those who manage to achieve success definitely deserve to be rewarded with high salaries. If you want to become a better leader, you should start by taking a look on the following activities that should be done automatically, every day.

Is 100 the New 60? Living Longer, Living Better. What's on the Horizon?Christopher Mohritz
The race for extending human life is heating up. Every day, new technologies are emerging with the potential to meaningfully extend our lifespan - and boost the quality of that lifespan.
Join us for an introduction into some of the longevity-related technologies headed our way, including some potential opportunities for budding entrepreneurs.
At this conference for boomers and seniors in Portland, Oregon, we discussed the core values surrounding great support to people living with dementia as well as international innovation in aging and practical implications when caring for someone with dementia.
Emotional maturity- How mature are you emotionallly?Babu Appat
We must be emotionally balanced. Life will have its own ups and downs. How clear yourself through these is what matters. We must be able to analyse and find reasons for failures and manage them successfully. You may weep or cry over incidents which you may not like to happen in life. Your ability to manage these kind of events in life and bounce back into active life depends on your emotional health.
Organizations are good at talking about and choosing change but equally important are the plans we develop bring others along with the change. Wise leaders are turning to neuroscience and cognitive psychology to break through our natural "guardians of change." One helpful tool could be what's called the ACE plan, a three-step approach to make transition management stick. In addition, you'll learn why our brains resist change and how to design strategies that make our thinking caps more receptive. Take back a fresh strategy that invites and empowers other to be positively part of the change process.

Creating Sticky Learning To Combat Our Illusion Of KnowingJeff Hurt
As adults, we are rather lazy learners.
Much of what we hold as fact regarding learning is actually illusion. We waste a lot of effort, time and resources with common-sense accepted educational practices that are rooted in intuition, tradition and myth.
The most effective learning strategies and education programming are counter-intuitive. We need to build new bridges between our education offerings and the learning research in order to increase our participants’ ROI. We need to develop a deeper understanding of the why and how to create learning opportunities that stick.

Strengthening Our Strategic Thinking To Become Better LeadersJeff Hurt
Becoming a strategic thinker is not as difficult as it sounds. Although if we’re not careful, it may mean running in place twice as hard. It just means practicing different behaviors than what you probably already do.
When you focus on remembering minutia and details, it adversely affects your ability to engage in strategic thinking. We have to be careful as leaders and logistic meeting professionals of falling into the trap of losing sight of the bigger picture. Neuroscience has proven that when we focus and engage in strategic, abstract thinking, we improve our ability to remember the details. Becoming more strategic actually improves our logistics.
Being more strategic doesn’t mean making decisions that affect your whole company. Nor does it mean allocating scarce budget dollars. And it clearly doesn’t mean scouring the internet for the right response to the problem you face.
It means forcing your brain to slow down and work smarter.
Learning Outcomes:
Define a strategic brain and how it affects our leadership.
Identify three steps we need to practice to become strategic thinkers.
Discover how to improve the brain’s gatekeeper and increase our ROI!

Presentations and public speaking strike fear in the hearts of people everywhere. Whether it's a presentation for a small board of stakeholders or speaking in front of hundreds about your company's latest product, presentations can be uncomfortable and nerve-wracking.

A few weeks ago, Mobile World Congress 2017 kicked on in Barcelona, Spain with some of the biggest names in tech descending upon the city to show off the top tech products. From new phones from LG and Sony to tablets, VR and the rise of robots, we wanted to take a moment to recap some of the top takeaways from this year’s event.
Over the last few years, the term “smart” has been used more and more frequently to describe the technology that has become integrated in our daily lives. Now, smartphones and smartwatches are practically ubiquitous, smart cars are starting to hit the pavement and smart homes are becoming the norm.
The “smart” trend is becoming equally as present in our workplaces as well. Smart technology is making the transition from our personal lives to our workplace, and in doing so, this technology is reshaping the modern office.
It is not only changing the way we meet, present and collaborate, it is changing the physical environment in which we work as well.
And because of this rapid infiltration of smart technology, it is important to be up to date on this rapidly evolving technology— a seemingly daunting task. But don’t fear! PGi is here to present you with the elements that are beginning to integrate together to build one incredibly smart office of the future.
Team building activities are incredibly important for facilitating positive workplace relationships, but when you stick to outdated team building activities (we're looking at you ropes courses), your employees may automatically tune themselves out. That's why it's important to find activities that will engage and motivate them. Check out PGi's five team building activities that will encourage your employees to work together and motivate one another.

But even if you have the right equipment for the job, meeting etiquette can ruin a perfectly good conference call. Check out these three things you (and your colleagues) should never do on a conference call--your professional pride will thank you.

Make today a print-free work day. Have a waste-free lunch. Telecommute and cut down on your daily vehicle emissions. And above all, don’t forget to take a moment to step outside and bask in the splendor of our green earth.
Sales professionals are always looking for ways to connect and engage with prospects and turn them into true opportunities. They're also looking for ways to warm up leads that have long been left untouched. But with so much competition in the marketplace, sales teams need to make sure they stand out and make a lasting impression. The solution to the problem? video.
