Change is Personal

BY Donna KarlinMon Oct 19, 2009 at 5:33 PM

When organizations inform staff about massive change, transition, cut backs, re-engineering or whatever label they place on it with the assurance that "It's not personal" that they have to change how their organization operates to work within the current economic climate, keep up with competitors etc, and it's not about them, the take away is "It's about me.

The meaning of pain

BY Stephanie FrankFri Oct 16, 2009 at 3:36 PM

“My neck hurts.” It was a simple statement, one that told me everything I needed to know about his life. He literally had a “pain in the neck” situation going on at work, and it showed up as a physical pain. When I first got my master certification in NLP and hypnosis, I was instantly drawn to a different type of coaching – working through emotions by working through pain.READ»
