What We Are Doing!

Good morning!
I have been asked lately about what we are doing with this Everyday concept. Well, it's simple. We are reconnecting people through communites of interest.

Through the years I have had the pleasure of teaching and reteaching the value of a powerful relationship approach to doing good business. This approach spilled over into other social areas of interest as well much to my amazement.



One such concept that is getting a warm reception is our newest project "Everyday People". This community celebrates new relationships, people who accomplish extraordinary things through ordinary lives through the vibrant pursuit of life, love (in friendship & healthy relationships), personal liberty (freedom from past), and progress.

September 10 2011 we are about to launch our first 3 month pilot here in Edmonton AB, if you are looking to meet new people in a safe and positive environment this would be the place for you!

Hope you will join us September 10th!

Success Is Together!

Refuse to Be Sterile!

Good morning,

Lately I have been tasked with the design of a new workshop for a corporate client. In my contemplations one message came to mind focusing on the idea of adaptation and the sharing of your personal talents.

The concept of social sterility is my thinking. I don't know about you but I have found many out there in business or in social community behaving with an over rated sense of "professionalism" or an over sensitive etiquette. It is so predominate within our circles that people can no longer feel ok for making a mistake without someone around them reacting in an extreme fashion of judgement.

Think of it like this: We get so used to getting what we want and demanding it a certain way that we become sterile whereby our expectations are to the level of being unreasonable and dare I say even a little "pritzy" (delicate). It would be like your body being so clean that it can no longer fight off infection of even the slightest kind. We have become "sterile".

The second analogy is to think of your pet, becoming sterile means that you are no longer able to reproduce! What do I mean? I mean that our behavior becomes so delicate that offence comes too easily. We expect people to make heavy apologies for the slightest deviation from our sense of appropriateness or heaven forbid they make a mistake by our estimation. Over time they just will quietly keep their distance and thus our influence and potential good will creation with others is paralyzed. We are "sterile"

Conclusion, community is a little organic and messy at times. This is the way of things. Accept that life is not always perfect. People are not made to provide you with a perfect existence. Mistakes will be made, learn from them and give mercy because someday you may need mercy.

Just sayin.

Success Is Together!
