It is a shame people lack the ability to hold their heads up and state with clarity and conviction – I am a Genius. Well, maybe they will say – due to peer pressure in a workshop or work environment – yet, their belief system says – no way! If these is your belief go check out the research on Robin’s InnerActive Beliefs website. The information is there for you and – You are a Genius.
Okay back to the topic – the four qualities of genius… Continue reading ‘Four Qualities of Genius’ »
There seems to be a lot of chatter about wisdom these days. There are discussions about the lack of wisdom and discussions about the over use of “wisdom” sources. All interesting discussions and related to our services which help people get to higher levels. We encourage people to increase their personal wisdom and use it in their decision making processes.
Yet, there is debate about wisdom and we get questions about “What is wisdom?” This is a great question that needs to be answered for our leaders and our emerging leaders who read our information.
Wisdom is the combination of experience and reflection. It allows the holder of this wisdom more choices and alternatives to make the correct decision depending upon the situation or a solve a problem based upon the real issues of the problem.

Are you having a bad day? Yeah, I was too. I didn’t get up on the wrong side of the bed. I love mornings… it’s when I feel most close to Spirit. It was a typical good morning. The house was cool… until I turned the air conditioning units up for the workday away from the house.
Most everyone I know would say I am forever the optimist! Probably annoyingly so. I’ve been called Pollyanna more times than I care to admit. But, that’s just the way I was put together. And on those days when “stuff” comes up, I might wallow (aka waller: Southern pronunciation) for a few minutes or a few hours and then I do something to get myself back on track. Continue reading ‘Are You Having a BAD Day?’ »
Most all of us agree that no one person can do it alone. We need other people in our professional, personal, and spiritual lives! This is simply how we are put together. Thank Goodness!

One of the very best articles I have read on “burnout” was outlined in an article from Stress and Burnout in Ministry. Many times the lines between the two conditions are blurred and we become confused to actually what is going on with our moods and emotions.

Are we experiencing stress or burnout? Continue reading ‘Is There a Difference Between Stress and Burnout?’ »
There are many causes of job burnout. Sometimes it can be that a person is working in a job that is not properly suited to their natural talents and abilities, causing them to work much harder than the work duties actually require. Other reasons cited for burnout include a mis-match of key values between the company and the employee. Someone who is working outside of his or her value system is a prime candidate for burnout.
Other work-related causes of burnout are:
- Lack of a feeling of control over your work
- Unclear or “moving” job expectations
- Working in a high-pressured environment
- Lack of recognition or appreciation for a job well-done Continue reading ‘What Leads to Job Burnout?’ »
