Are you an inverse paranoid? If not, you probably should work on mastering this important skill. The inverse paranoid wakes up on the RIGHT side of the bed each morning. The “IP” is one who believes the world is conspiring to do him good. They also believe that people are out to “help” them instead of hurt them.
What are common traits of an inverse paranoid? Continue reading ‘Are You an Inverse Paranoid?’ »

Following along our previous blog on Self-Actualization, Abraham Maslow outlined other characteristics of a self-actualized person:
- The mystic experience- being in tune or at “one” with the world. Can literally feel as if they are floating.
- Feelings of “togetherness”- awareness and sensitivity to all mankind
- Deep interpersonal relationships- profound and deep relationships with others
- Insightful discrimination between means and ends- strong sense of right and wrong; good and bad. Will not cross the line.
- Philosophical sense of humor- enjoy humor; good natured yet serious
- Creativity- highly creative and expressed in many dimensions (writing, speaking, painting, music, cooking, etc)
- Transcendent of cultures- maintains a strong individuality, ability to objectively evaluate culture and relativity to its importance
- Tolerant of imperfections- does not profess to be right or perfect. Always willing to grow and learn. Tolerant of the imperfection of others.
According to Dr. Kurt Goldstein, psychologist: Self-Actualization is a uniquely human need that separates humans from all other animals.

So what is Self-Actualization? Maslow described it this way: “What a man can be, he must be. It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment, namely, to the tendency for him to become actualized in what he is potentially.”

Better yet, let’s turn that around. We have been looking at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs this week. One way for the CEO or company owner to make certain his or her company receives high marks from the customers is to make certain the company receives high marks from the employees! Simply stated… your employees will offer the same service and attitude that you mirror to them in their work. Continue reading ‘Is Your Workplace De-Motivating?’ »

Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs led to his book, Motivation and Personality. Much has since been researched and written about Maslow’s theory on motivation but his work still remains intact and is used in studying motivation today. Much of the motivational studies relate to workplace motivation.
Most people are familiar with Maslow’s pyramid of needs, but less known is that he further broke the needs down into two groups of needs. They are:
- Deficiency Needs- also known as D- Needs
- Growth Needs- also known as “being needs” or B- Needs Continue reading ‘Deficiency Needs or Growth Needs?’ »

Following up on our last post of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, let’s look more closely at each of these five human needs:
1. Physiological Needs
- These needs are the most basic needs in order to sustain life, such as the need for water, air, food, and sleep. According to Maslow, these are the foundation of all human needs since all other needs are secondary until the physiological needs are met. Continue reading ‘Is YOUR Hierarchy of Needs Being Met?’ »

Even if you still have your job intact you probably have a close friend or relative who is diligently looking for work. It seems almost no one is immune to the stressors of worrying about job security.
Keeping yourself up-to-date in your field always makes good business and personal sense! But it makes extra special sense in the job market today. Human beings are set apart from the rest of the animal kingdom because we are goal-driven. It is in our human nature to enjoy growth of the mind. Learning keeps us active and engaged.
I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

This economy may no longer be considered the “downturn” in the economy. It may actually be the “new” economy. In other words… the excess buying, spending, traveling, and business of the past may be history. This may hold true for businesses as well as individuals.
We will all need to do and accomplish more with less: Continue reading ‘Is the Downturn the New Turn?’ »

We hear so much about branding. Every company and every retail outlet has a brand…even if they aren’t aware of what the brand is.
Chick-fil-a, Nordstrom’s, and Southwest Airlines are positive brands that easily come to mind for most of us. Some companies have mediocre brands and yet others have negative branding associated with them.
What we sometimes don’t realize is that people have brands also.
Which of the below lists would you fall into? Or maybe you can be identified in some of both areas? Continue reading ‘Brand “YOU”’ »
