1. This Week's JumpstartA 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! -- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within ArticleMaking the Most of Today by Denis WaitleyWhat each of us is doing this minute is the most important event in history for us. We have decided to invest our resources in THIS opportunity rather than in any other. It is helpful to remember this when we consider the passage of time. As the years pass, I am acutely aware that the bird of time is on the wing. I remember at my fortieth high school reunion, I saw people who claimed to be my former classmates. We all had big name tags printed in capital letters so we wouldn't have to squint with our reading glasses on trying to associate the name with each well-traveled face. It seemed like only yesterday that I was really enjoying high school. What had happened to the four decades? Where had they flown? To the side of the bandstand, where the big-band sound of the late 1940s and 50s blared our favorite top-ten hits, there was a poster with a printed verse for all of us to see. I read the words aloud: "There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension." "One of these days is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone." "The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control." "This leaves only one day, TODAY. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities - Yesterday and Tomorrow - that we break down." "It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad, it is remorse and bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore… Live this one full TODAY." Malcolm Forbes believed the important thing is "never say die until you're dead," and he lived that example to the hilt. It is, as we realize when we suddenly attend our fortieth high school reunion, a short journey. But it is difficult to be depressed and active at the same time. So get active! Live TODAY. -- Denis Waitley

Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley"You've got the vicious cycle or the victor's circle. Let's get out of the vicious cycle. We imagine ourselves to be successful. We preplay it by simulation. We rehearse; we drill; we practice; we perform. Sometimes, we perform well. We feedback with reinforcement. Sometimes we do poorly--more input needed--always to the imagined desired result, always to the outcome we want, never punishing ourselves in the downward spiral. Winners imagine through goals, simulate through rehearsal, perform and then feed back." --Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004 Event, DVD 2 and/or CD 4, Track 7
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching Tips"Remember the lobster." At a certain point in a lobster's growth, he discards his outer, protective shell and is vulnerable to all of his enemies. This continues until he grows a new "house" in which to live. Change is normal in life. With every change there is the unfamiliar and the unexpected. Instead of going into a shell, become vulnerable. Risk it! Reach inside for faith in things that are unseen. So this week, come out of your shell, take that leap of faith and reap the rewards of greater optimism and self-esteem!
