Culture: When One Plus One Equals Five

I have observed in my in my practice of personal business coaching in the Woodlands and also in business coaching in Houston that certain concepts become the major focus of the time. Time management was big and coming into its own in the 1980’s and 1990’s. You just weren’t with it if you hadn’t taken a time management course. And, time management is still just as important today as it was back then. Today, much of what I encounter has to do with company culture and how it is either helping or hindering a company. Culture comes from the Latin word cultus, which means care. Culture at its highest level has a clear purpose as expressed in the vision and more importantly, the vision statements. These statements are more than just words. They define a purpose and a way to get there that is bigger than any one person.

Do you know your position?

 AN EXCERPTS From the book "Wings to Fly"   Know your position for a more rewarding life. It is discouraging to have talents and not to have them recognized or used. In “Wings To Fly” your daily lift off to soar to greater heights I explore how to position yourself for greater success and happiness.

To get out of the swamp position yourself for success and happiness. Take stock of your talents and character. You can further develop your talent and character. To do that you must understa...

Would you like to experience more “good luck” in your business or life?

EXCERPTS From the book "Wings to Fly" Most people would immediately say, “Yes!” In my book,   “Wings to Fly ,”   I take a look at how to produce more good luck in your life. This is just one subject.   “Wings to Fly”   provides daily insights, one for each day of the year, ranging from relationships to productivity to self-confidence to name just a few Let’s look at luck. Seneca, the Roman philosopher said that “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.” Yet, many people never prepare to be lucky. They are into blind luck or dumb luck. Both are truly a matter of chance. There really isn’t much difference. A person with blind luck never sees the opportunity. It just happens. A person with dumb luck does something that is stupid or dangerous and against all odds they don’t get hurt. In one way both blind and dumb luck are the same. In each case, nobody saw the luck coming. Still, luck for most of us is when preparation does meets opportunity. When p...
