1. This Week's Jumpstart
This week I simply have some questions for you to ponder as
you go about your daily activities:
• If it weren't for time, money or circumstances how would
you choose to spend your life?
• What do you enjoy doing most that you're not doing now?
• What special talents, skills and knowledge do you have
that you're not fully employing.
• What is your core passion that has little to do with your
financial pension?
These are always good questions to ask yourself on occasion,
because they help you set the course and direction for your
life.

2. The Champion Within
Article
Look up to Those Beneath You by Dr. Denis Waitley
The most successful business leaders today are like great
coaches who manage by inspiration, instead of intimidation.
The command and control, management style is obsolete. In
this fast forward global marketplace, there is no such
distinction as superior and subordinate. The key to getting
and staying on top is to provide a resilient, positive
working environment. This requires that you "check your ego
at the door" and that you seek alliances with others who may
have different talents or strengths than you do. This is
what synergy is all about.
David Ogilvy, founder of giant advertising agency, Ogilvy
and Mather, used to give each new manager a Russian doll,
which contained five progressively smaller dolls inside. A
message inside the smallest one read: "If each of us hires
people we consider smaller than ourselves, we shall become a
company of dwarves. But if each of us hires people who are
bigger than we are, we will become a company of giants."
To become a giant in the eyes of others, and to succeed in
the 21st century, look up to those beneath you! Consider
these action ideas as you lead your team:
1. Listen often and openly to what others say, and try to do
so without prejudgment.
2. Don't put anyone off or be too busy to listen to and
answer questions.
3. Use praise frequently and sincerely.
4. If you feel that criticism is warranted, do it in
private, and make sure you say something encouraging after
the reprimand.
5. Be firm and be fair. Don't meet with people in person or
on the phone when you are angry. Exercise or take a walk
first, then communicate when you are relaxed.
6. Don't be afraid or hesitant to share your concerns with
others. Far better to discuss a molehill, then to wait until
it festers into Mt. Everest.
7. Don't make rash promises and be consistent.
8. Whenever you are in a leadership role, focus your
supervision on teaching effective habits and skills, not in
pointing out mistakes.
Encourage everyone in both your personal and professional
life to speak up and express their own ideas, even if you
disagree with them.

3. Seeds of Greatness by
Denis Waitley
(Excerpted from Denis Waitley's book
Safari to the Soul)
Many times since, people have asked me what the most
important thing you should take with you on a tented safari
in East Africa. I always answer, "If you don't love
yourself, and life, you will be lost, ill at ease or bored."
When I think of self-love, I don't see it as narcissism or
selfish worship of the man or woman in the mirror. I believe
self-esteem is a healthy ability to share -- with others
--the value you feel inside yourself, without expecting a
quid pro quo payoff. When I consider the word, soul, as I'm
referring to it in this book, I believe it is the purity and
beauty of an individual's core values. Core values radiate
like rings, as when a leaf falls in a pond.
4. The
Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
This week's coaching tip comes from my book, Safari to the
Soul. We've all heard the phrase, "It's a jungle out there!"
and so...
If life is a jungle, fraught with violence, turmoil, danger
lurking everywhere, insecurity and predators, how do we
survive and thrive? Do we put bars on all our windows, wear
body armor, hide behind double-locked doors at night? Do we
carry weapons, become masters in martial arts, start pumping
iron and hire security guides to shadow our every movement?
Or do we, ourselves, become safari guides?
I believe we will be best prepared to face any uncertainty
in the safari of life with our duffle bags filled with KASH
– Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills and Habits that enable us to
conquer fear of what might happen, by being equipped to
anticipate, become more proactive, and to respond
effectively to what happens.

5. Featured Product of the Week
If you've ever been to Maasai Mara in Kenya then reading Denis' book,
Safari to the Soul will be like stepping back -- the sights, sounds, heat and
sensations will all come rushing back. If you've never been, then the Massai
will come alive with Denis' vibrant descriptions as he weaves a rich tapestry
of words, insights and philosophies gathered during his safari. Denis' unique
style captivates readers as he relates the lessons learned in the jungle to
living in this jungle called life as only Denis can.
Safari To The Soul - A Guide To Survival, Success
And Serenity In This Savage Paradise Called Life
- has been heralded as Denis Waitley's most
penetrating, profound and important message, which
he delivers with his inimitable style, making us
laugh, cry and pause to reflect on our own essence
and beliefs.
Reasoning that most of our fears result from lack of
knowledge and training to prepare us for the
challenges and insecurities we face, he combines
practical "safari guideposts" for survival, success
and control of our actions, with sage advice on how
to enjoy serenity, peace and balance in the process.
Safari To The Soul is Denis Waitley's own, intimate
journey into self-discovery, and reveals why he has
endured for four decades as one of America's
best-loved philosophers, keynote speakers, success
mentors and inspirational authors.
