1. This Week's Jumpstart
A great stage director once said, "Acting is reacting.
It's done with the ears, not the mouth." Contrary to popular
belief, listening is not passive, it's active. How do you
get someone's attention? It's not by talking or by making
clever remarks or by trying to impress others with yourself.
If you want to get people interested in you, talk about
what's important to them. The biggest mistake most people
make in communicating is talking about Me, Myself and I:
"What I want to sell"... "These are my needs"... "I would
like this to happen because I"...
Instead, turn your attention to the other person: "What are
your needs?" "How can I help you?" Then listen. Always pivot
the conversation around the other person. Talk about people,
places and things that are important to him or her.
It's been said that by showing interest in people you can
make more friends in twenty minutes than you can in twenty
weeks by showing how interesting you think you are.
So Be an Active Listener This Week!

2. The Champion Within
Article
Power from Empowerment by Dr. Denis Waitley
A good way to think of leadership is the process of
freeing your team members to do the best work they possibly
can. I have followed NBA basketball coach Phil Jackson's
career.
Like Phil Jackson who moved from the record setting Chicago
Bulls to the Los Angeles Lakers. Jackson says his principal
task is creating an environment in which his players can
flourish. In communicating with his championship teams,
Jackson convinced them that they had the talent to win
championships, and that the main goal of the coach was going
to be freeing them to use that talent.
Today's business team members, say they want, more than
anything else, the autonomy to do their jobs without the
boss's interference. In the new century, it's already clear
that the CEOs of our best-run companies believe that the
more power leaders have, the less they should use.
The job of the team leader is to set a mission, decide upon
a strategic direction, achieve the necessary cooperation,
delegate authority --- and then let people innovate. To do
that we all could take a hint from the late football coach,
Paul "Bear" Bryant. Before his retirement as one of the
leading coaches in college football history at Alabama,
Bryant observed:
I'm just a plowhand from Arkansas, but I've learned
how to put and hold a team together. I've learned how to
lift some individuals up and how to calm others down, until
finally they've got one heartbeat together, as a team. To do
that, there's just three things I'd ever have to say: If
anything went wrong, I did it. If it went semi-good, then we
did it. If anything went real good, then you did it! That's
really all it takes to get other people to win for you.
The key to authentic leadership is to listen to your
followers, and then open the door for them to lead
themselves. The secret is empowerment. The main incentive is
genuine caring and recognition.
The five most important words a leader can speak are: "I am
proud of you."
The four most important are: "What is your opinion?"
The three most important are: "If you please."
The two most important are: "Thank You."
And the most important single word of all is: "You!"

4. The
Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Welcome to our current coaching topic for the next two
issues. We cannot teach our children self-esteem, we can
only help them discover it within themselves by adding
positive marks and strokes on their slates. All positive
motivation is rooted in self-esteem – the development of
which, just as with other skills takes practice. We are
looking at self-esteem as a four-legged chair. Last issue we
covered the second leg of the "Self-esteem" chair -- a sense
of individual identity. The next leg is: A Sense of
Worthiness.
This third leg of self-esteem is a sense of worthiness, the
feeling that I'm glad I'm me, with my genes and background,
my body, my unique thoughts. Without our own approval, we
have little to offer. If we don't feel worth loving, it's
hard to believe that others love us; instead, we tend to see
others as appraisers or judges of our value.
Show your children unconditional love. Carefully separate
the doer from the deed, and the performer from the
performance. The message: "I love you no matter what
happens, and I'm always there for you" is one of most
important concepts in building a feeling of worthiness or
intrinsic value in children. After every reprimand, let them
know you love them. Before they go to sleep at night, give
them the reassurance that, regardless of what happened that
day, you love them unconditionally.
A healthy sense of belonging, identity, and worthiness can
only be rooted in intrinsic core values as opposed to outer,
often material, motivation. Without them, we depend on
others constantly to fill our leaking reserves of
self-esteem – but also tend to suspect others of ulterior
motives. Unable to accept or reject others' opinions for
what they're worth, we are defensive about criticism and
paranoid about praise – and no amount of praise can replace
the missing qualities.
A healthy sense of belonging, identity, and worthiness is
also essential to belief in your dreams. It is most
essential during difficult times, when you have only a dream
to hang on to.
