Before you ask yourself “why” should I engage with InnerActive Consulting Group, let’s look a bit deeper and find out “why” the consulting group chose this name?
First of all, this group had fifteen years of SUCCESS operating as Kaizen Performance Group in Memphis, Tennessee. With this success came instant name recognition! But branding efforts flushed out the need for a name change since Kaizen could not be branded because another business as well as a quality initiative had previously claimed the Kaizen brand.
So…InnerActive Consulting Group was born. The consultants here are truly catalysts for change. And real change begins with “inner” thoughts and beliefs. Inner thoughts migrate to the outer world in the form of taking action.
Equation: Thoughts + Actions = Results
Hence: InnerActive Consulting Group
With over twenty years of business- to- business consulting and B2B selling as well as personal development training, one of InnerActive Consulting Group’s primary principles remains “to work with beliefs to improve both life and work issues.”

It is more Emotionally Intelligent (and Healthy)
We all have things about which we feel very strongly. It may be our political affiliation, our religious beliefs (or not), or the state of the economy. Having passionate beliefs and feelings are normal and healthy behavior. However, expressing them in a loud or disrespectful manner is neither healthy nor emotionally intelligent.
It becomes an unhealthy pattern for us is when we concentrate on what we don’t value instead of what we do value. Just this small switch in perspective can make a huge change in our daily lives. When we focus on what we “don’t like”, our energy is simply not being used wisely. Continue reading ‘Let your Values Speak FOR Something…’ »
Human beings are achievement oriented. While there must be time for rest and recreation built into our lives, achievement orientation is what has allowed civilizations to thrive and carry on. In short, achievement and growth are what have sustained the human population over time.
Douglas Mallock said, “Find your joy in something finished and not a thousand things begun.” This insightful statement speaks to the exclusively human need to actually produce results. Don’t we all feel a sense of accomplishment and excitement when we see a project through to completion? Once the project is complete, we may rest for a few hours or a few days and then our orientation for achievement begins to generate new ideas. Thus, creativity and productivity are enhanced for the next round of ideas and implementation.
Here is a list of Ideas to stimulate personal achievement: Continue reading ‘Do You Have an Achievement Orientation?’ »
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a meeting where the speaker was Commander Kirk Lippold, USN (Ret.). Commander Lippold was the Commanding Officer of the USS Cole that came under a suicide terrorist attack by alQaeda in 2000. The bravery and quick thinking of Commander Lippold and his crew saved the American war ship from sinking as well as prevented further loss of life.
Commander Lippold lists his “Five Pillars of Leadership”. They are: Continue reading ‘What is Leadership Excellence?’ »
Before you can reach disengaged workers, it is important to know what a disengaged employee actually is; or…the flip side, which is an employee who is engaged. Engagement is NOT job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is…. well, job satisfaction. It measures how satisfied a person is with their job. Satisfied workers may or may not do a great job and may or may not go the extra mile.
An engaged employee is someone who has zeal for his or her job. They believe in what they are doing and for whom and with whom they are working. And when one of the variables change, the engaged worker will set about to make positive changes. They will reinvent themselves in their job, either with a new company or by taking positive steps by which to continue engagement within their current job. Or they will have open dialog about their loss of zeal. But they will do something constructive! Continue reading ‘How to Prevent a Disengaged Workplace’ »
The Law of Belief is a sister law to the Law of Attraction, discussed in last week’s blog. Things, people, and circumstances are attracted into our lives, either consciously or unconsciously, through the belief systems we have.
Many times our belief systems are old and outdated and no longer serve us. Often, these beliefs never did work to our higher good. For a good source on the impact of belief upon you mindset – go to this blog site.
Many beliefs come from our families and are often handed down generation to generation. Beliefs can center around health and wellness, financial success, indebtedness, life expectancy, career choices, religious doctrines, marital success, etc. Continue reading ‘Does the Law of Belief Impact You?’ »
What’s Driving This Unemployment?
We are undoubtedly in tough financial times and a very uncertain job market. But have you noticed that some people continue to find great new jobs or land incredibly large new client business. Are these people luckier than most or have they laid the proper groundwork?
Their success is probably a combination of proper groundwork and proper belief alignments. Will we ever return to the spending excesses of the recent past? Many experts say “no”. Some experts assert that this particular financial downturn has been so severe and so debilitating that consumers will never return with the same confidence as in the past. This downturn in spending likely means a tighter job market and high unemployment rates. Ouch!
An excellent way to prepare your self for continued employment is to think of yourself as being self-employed. But you work for a company or corporation, you say? Most of us are employed by either small or large businesses. Continue reading ‘Succeeding in a High Unemployment Market’ »
Have you been watching the new TV series – Undercover Boss. While I prefer to watch it on CBS.com to save time, I found the show and the story lines very interesting and very important for the executives involved. Then it hit me – How Many Executives Do the Undercover Boss Thing?

Law of Attraction
My first introduction to The Law of Attraction was in 1992 when I attended The Phoenix Seminar (on the Psychology of Achievement) by Brian Tracy. Since that time, I have heard many speakers and read many articles about this important law; however, my most heartfelt gratitude will always be first and foremost to Brian.
Brian Tracy teaches, “You will always attract, positive or negative, people and circumstances that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts.” Simply put, this means that people, circumstances, and events manifest in our physical world from the main themes we mull around in our brains. Ouch! For many of us, this could be scary! Continue reading ‘How to Use the Law of Attraction’ »
