profile projects and are sought out for their advice? What are they
doing that makes it seem so easy for them?

Life Balance and the Beliefs that Defeat Us
|
|
It is often said that people today are
lacking in ‘work-life balance’ because they are overwhelmed by the many
competing demands on their time. In the course of delivering many
LifeBalance workshops, I have observed that most participants can
readily identify numerous ‘hats’ they wear on a daily basis: mother,
husband, employee, gardener, chauffeur, coach, social manager, banker,
cook, counsellor…. Many report that on an average day, they perform
at least five, seven, often ten of these roles.

Four Powerful Keys to Virtual Team Success
|
|
Creating virtual teams is not
challenge-free. Why? Imagine trying to communicate effectively with
people you have never met and whose personalities you are not familiar
with. If this hurdle is not overcome, establishing successful virtual
teams can be extremely frustrating.

| Book Review – Co-opetition |
|
What is the nature of business? Is it
war, where it’s not enough to succeed but others must fail? Or is it
peace? The authors of the book Co-opetition argue that business is both
War and Peace, simultaneously. While fighting to the death destroys the
pie, it’s also not wise to create a pie that we can’t capture. So we
need to adopt a new business mindset that effectively combines
competition and cooperation-thus “Co-opetition.”
