Why You And I Don't Get Results!
Application trumps information. This is one of Maximum Impact's "themes" as it were. We love this theme because of the truth behind it.

Getting Complete Attracts Business
In business we tend to ignore the soft skills and concepts and focus on getting dollars into our wallets. This focus limits the amount of dollars that will actually flow into our wallets! :-) There's a basic soft skill that I call "being complete."

Breakdowns Are POWERFUL!
When my clients are trying to wrap their heads around what I call in business coaching "breakdowns" they start to think of a nervous breakdown.

You can't have one without the ...Jan 13 -
It's All Invented...
What makes the New Year new? Human beings DECLARING it new -that's what makes it new. You and I agree with the story that somehow January 1 every year is new. We seldom stop to think about it -but EVERYTHING in society is invented and created by us humans. Someone had an idea and then tells another. That person agrees and then the two of them spr ...Dec 30 -

Nothing to Sell at a Higher Price...
from the desk of Mary Mershein Lululemon shares were $2 in 2007. Five years later they were $76 and the company was worth $10 billion. One reason for the growth was the creation of "scarcity" in which stores kept only a limited supply of merchandise.

“Time to do something”
Had an interesting conversation with a manager today. • He has some big goals. That is good. • He has some desire to succeed in his new position of management. That is also good. • He has no tools to develop people. Without developing people, new goals of bigger numbers are like Fantasy Island – you know it exists but you can’t get there fr ...Feb 24 -

We were excited to get off the plane and be greeted by the sunny hot weather of southern California after leaving Vancouver’s grey wet skies.

Wrestling A 200lb Gorilla
I came out to my car Saturday morning and found a ticket on my windshield. I was pretty “ticked” off to use acceptable blog language. The city had warned me that if it snowed more than 2” all cars needed to be off the road so the snowploughs can do their job. Fair enough.

Never Let Both Feet Leave The Ground
In February 2003, a group of tourists excitedly waited to embark on a hot air ballon trip over the beautiful Californian wine country.

Let it Flow
Have you ever heard an athlete say that they were “in the groove”? That their mind was so clear that everything seemed to “flow”?
