U.S. Won the Game in Extra Time – How to Score Your Own Goals with Extra Time
Some people work overtime because they have to, and some because they want to, and some people avoid it at all costs. Putting in extra time can help you and be a smart career move – if done wisely! The secret is balance and getting recognized for your extra efforts.
Depending on who you ask, you will get varying answers to the question of whether working overtime is worth it or not. The general consensus of opinion is negative, with research finding that working overtime has been linked to anxiety and depression. Yet clearly, not everyone who works overtime suffers either of these conditions… so what gives? Read the rest of this entry »
Six Tips to Restore the Motivation to Work
The past couple of years has seen an unprecedented shift in business and financial challenges and opportunities on a global scale. While some western countries experienced serious downturns, many developing countries found their feet, making their fortunes by attracting western businesses to set up base in their country where business costs and labor are so much cheaper. While the wisdom of this is being debated and some governments are actively encouraging their home grown businesses to invest and remain on home soil, the major effect of this outsourcing and taking industry overseas is diminished job and career opportunities at home, which has a demoralizing effect on those who’ve lost their jobs.
Now, as businesses in the major western countries get back on their feet, one of the key factors to their success is not going to be in the number of new products they can invent or manufacture for less than their competition, but from the people who work for them… the employees who drive their business. If a company is to rebuild itself and continue to grow, it must have enthusiastic, productive and committed people and motivating the workforce must become a key strategy in business growth plans.
Studies show that money alone does not provide long term motivation, because employees have to know the difference between being paid for the job they do as opposed to being rewarded for doing a good job, so with many companies still facing the necessity to watch their spending, here are some examples of motivational programs and options they can consider.

What Changes to Management Can Improve the Bottom Line?
When change is introduced into the workplace, there is often a degree of resistance, anxiety and sometimes even ridicule of the new methodologies. People equate change with difficulty and something to be feared. This is where open communication is so important and it starts right at the very top.
If you don’t have the full support and understanding of key management positions, any organizational changes being made are going to be thwart with difficulties. It is up to CEOs and Presidents to champion the cause and ensure their managerial teams are also in full support, so that it can filter down through the ranks more smoothly.
It is not enough to merely hand a list of problems and preferred outcomes or objectives to a managerial team and expect them to go ahead and get to work on it. They, too, need guidelines and guidance, reassurance, and training. Many Managers get to where they are through natural progression up the corporate ladder, climbing their way on their years of experience. But this doesn’t mean they know how to manage. The Manager of the Sales Department may be an excellent Sales Person himself and know how to train his staff in successful sales techniques and strategies, but as a manager of people and an organizational change expert, he may well be out of his depth. The same can be said for many managers in many different departments.
All the brilliant change plans in the world will fail if those who are responsible for the action have no idea what they are doing and possibly, don’t believe in what they are doing. So the first step is ensuring the managerial teams understand what changes are being made and why, and what outcomes are being sought and why. They then need training in the best methodologies for introducing the new systems to their own departments. This requires a whole set of skills many managers lack, simply because it has not been something they have been taught before. This includes people skills, communication skills, and negotiating skills. Read the rest of this entry »

I’d like to share some recent testimonials with you…
Within a couple of hours of just a simple presentation, I made $15,000. $15,000 just working with Terri for just a couple of hours. This is how powerful her teaching is and we’re just starting out. I’m looking forward to so much more. We’re building an amazing relationship. I am ecstatic and I know that things are just going to go up from there. I highly recommend Terri Levine.
– Jemila Williams
I have had the extraordinary experience of spending an entire day, one on one, with Terri Levine, the Guru of Coaching. And I have to tell you it made a huge difference for me personally and professionally. Oh my goodness, the breakthroughs we had. I had a quantum leap in my business and how we’re doing business development, how we’re impacting our bottom line, how we’re increasing our profitability. All these conversations I had with Terri when we spent a day together have ended up in those kinds of results. And for me as a business owner, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I recommend that anybody give themselves the gift of working with Terri. She is extraordinary. She is savvy. She is wise, and at the end of the day, she is going to do great things to help take your business to the next level.
– Kristen Schuerlein
I’m here to tell you that Terri Levine is the real deal. As a coach, I personally haven’t met anybody so genuine, so loving, so giving of her time, her knowledge and her resources. I recently attended her one day speaking event and it was great. She just blew me away with all of the content that she gave us that we could implement immediately. I instantly found out the holes that I needed to fill in my own business and in my own life where I was stuck. It opened a lot of interesting doors for myself as a speaker and as a business woman. I am so grateful for Terri’s work and her giving and I cannot wait to work with her more.
– Susan Creal
There’s two things that are very special about Terri Levine. One is she has this amazing sense to analyze a business and determine what moves you can make to catapult that business into the stratosphere. One idea from a person like Terri who has this amazing sense for business can change that business tremendously. The other thing that is so special about Terri is her heart, her passion. And Terri has an amazing ability to take your passion and your experience and merge them into a business that you love and will create amazing results. Terri Levine, she’s the one.
– Les Schmidt
My first month with Terri gave me awesome momentum. It was an honor to complete her challenge and win the $1000 for my video.
This month, I added an unexpected $3000 to my income. She taught us to do things that stand out and I did a crazy e-mail promotion in a new target market.
So far I’ve ended up with fabulous testimonials, raving fans, and possible new clients, who are already referring their friends.
Warmest regards,

No One is Right or Wrong… A Coaching Perspective
As a professional business and personal coach, I believe that we, as human beings, are all connected. We may not see this and sometimes we may even wish we weren’t, but it is an essential ingredient in the coaching process. I recognize this sense of connection, but I also recognize that we are each unique and have special gifts, talents, and offerings.
One of the challenges we all face, as human beings, is that of remaining non-judgmental. We tend to put labels on what we hear, such as right or wrong, good or bad, happy or sad, etc. Even young children hold judgment about what they see, hear, and experience. Somehow, society has trained us to judge others as good or bad and not to accept those who are different from us or what we consider the “norm.” But shifting into coaching mode, we believe that no one is right or wrong, good or bad … they just are, and we accept who or what they are, period. Not always an easy task, admittedly.

Be Upstanding to be Outstanding
It would be reassuring if we could always assume every person we dealt with in business was an upstanding citizen who could be trusted to be open, fair and honest. How successful might we all become if we strived to be the best we could be in our own businesses and everyone else was striving likewise in their own endeavors. There would be no more scams, rip-offs, cheating or deceit.
You may have heard of the expression “be the change you want to see occur in the world”. Yes, it can be a challenge in a world where a percentage of people do not understand the concepts of being considerate, honest or helpful, being in it only for themselves. One of the problems is that some people simply do not see themselves as others see them. They are not aware of their own shortcomings because in their minds, they don’t have any shortcomings.
How do you know if you fall into this category? No offence, but none of us can progress if we are not aware of our shortcomings, because without this knowledge, there is nothing to work with. So let’s quiz Joe Bloggs and if you find yourself identifying with the responses, you may have a little work to do on your self-development… : Read the rest of this entry »
The Challenge for Today’s Manager
What do today’s managers have in common with yesterday’s? Despite progress and changes in the landscape of today’s modern business, the one constant, the one thing that has not changed, is that Managers are still playing the role of the middle-man… that go-between for upper management and the people they manage. The line they must walk is fraught with challenges and stresses, with each day presenting them with a new conflict of interests they must somehow deal with.
Managers are a species apart, expected to please all the people, all the time – which we know is impossible, right?
They must protect the interests of those they work for and those they manage. They must represent the view of those they work for and those they manage. When something goes wrong, guess who is in the firing line?
This is all in a day’s work for today’s Manager, who gets little thanks and acknowledgement, but plenty of criticism and blame.
But it doesn’t end there, in-house… Read the rest of this entry »
Communication Improves When You Connect
The very first skill a coach learns is how to connect with a client. This means we develop rapport and compassion as we listen and tune into the client. This way of connecting allows our clients to feeeeeeeeeeeeel safe and to open up and share with us.
To connect to others with ease we first quiet any conversations going on in our minds. As our minds get still and open we then pull our focus on the client. We listen and don’t worry about what to say and we allow the other person to fully complete what they want to say before we respond. We hear fully and deeply. We also listen for the gifts and greatnesses and strengths and other positive aspects the speaker has. We don’t judge – we simply listen and fully accept what is being said.
I believe that if everyone learned coaching skills and if we started coaching curriculum at early ages in our schools, people would be happier. Being heard is a human yearning. When we are heard we feeeeeeeeeeeel accepted. People who feeeeeeeeeeeeel accepted don’t have as many problems as they have a strong sense of self-esteem. I bet marriages would last; we’d have more friends that we really felt connected to and overall we’d be healthier mentally, emotionally, spiritually and perhaps physically.
What I want for my readers is to open their ability to tune in and to connect with others. It is a gift that you can give to yourself and those around you.
