All people, from all walks of life need to be effective and efficient at the same time. Saints, martyrs, heroes, teachers, parents, blue collar workers, activists, writers, students, lovers, all of us. There is a need to introspect, am I making a difference?

I've always maintained that there is no such thing as a "business life" and a "personal life" as two separate tracks. We are always one person and as such, the things that affect our work affect our business and vice versa. You’re very welcome, Carmen.

I first heard about you through my engineering job, but I also work with clients to improve their well being. Lots of concepts you convey are similar to the ones I use with my clients. I released my newsletter last night, discussing choices we make about our money and time. This morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the message of your newsletter. We address different groups of audience, yet the message is universal. In case you are interested, here is my newsletter. http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=7b8380de3073029ac8b5d517a&id=042932c8bb I also appreciate the 4 legged stool example you gave. It was perfect because I talk to people about wellness credits or reserve a lot, but your analogy really helps get the point across. In appreciation, Carmen Hi Michael,

I know that I get a great deal more assistance and respect when I am dressed for success. People notice you and show more respect if you dress for the occasion. I would feel very uncomfortable asking an executive to trust me with their financial business if I were wearing run down shoes and a cheap off the rack rag for a suit. I don't put on or pretend to be something that I'm not by wearing a custom made suit. You have fifteen seconds at the most to make a good first impression. Most people will judge you in five seconds or less. If they judge you be of a lower class then they perceive of themselves you will have a lot to overcome to gain their trust and confidence to close the deal.

In my article, I tried not to be self-serving, but your point is spot on - it takes a trained individual to make the most progress. Thanks, Judith.

Because they are blind spots, they don't even know what they don't know. In my experience the challenging questions that reveal the issues can be uncomfortable, and it takes careful listening, probing and pauses to bring these issues to the fore.

Obviously the way to help an organization with its blind spots is to facilitate a group strategy session. Hi Ratnam,

Most of the times people start blaming the organization or collegues without analysing their blidspots. I do believe the approach to find out the blindspot is good which will improve the individuals growth. I think this can be extended for the organizations as well. Regards. Ratnam NCV Hello Michael,
