Effective Personal Life Balancing

Call to Take Responsibility Take responsibility for the circumstances of life

Seek to respond non defensively

Attempt to build mutual success – Win-win solutions

Seek solutions rather than blame

Use persuasion rather than force

Be firm, but not rigid, about personal interests

Think both short term and long term

Be interested in other points of view

Welcome feedback

Talk calmly and directly about difficult issues

Accept responsibility for consequences of actions

Communicate a caring attitude

Seek excellence rather than victory

O.J. Simpson is quoted to have said, “The day you take complete

responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making excuses, that’s the

day you start to the top.”

Unlock Your Imprisoned Potential

Most people use about 10% of their potential;

if they use as much as 25%, they are called

geniuses. If we can go from using 10% of our

potential to using 20% we could double our

productivity and still have 80% of our potential

untapped”

Where is my 90%?

The journey starts from the inside
