1. This Week's Jumpstart
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!"
This week be generous in your use of words that nurture trust in you as a caring leader.

2. The Champion Within Article
Going Full Circle by Dr. Denis Waitley
Great teams, great companies and great families have great leaders. Real leadership is the process of empowering others by abdicating one's power over them.
It means to set others free to become all they can be in an atmosphere of inspiration, innovation and mutual respect.
The real challenge is to maintain balance and harmony, while excelling in one professional endeavor. After the season is over, the champion must change into street clothes and become a parent, companion, spouse, citizen and neighbor. The greatest mark of the authentic champion is the way he or she relates to society beyond the arena or stadium, and translates superb performance in a specialized field into a global perspective to benefit this and future generations.
My mission is to be a role model for these words I have altered slightly from My Creed by Dean Alfange:
"I do not choose to be a common man or woman. It is my right to be uncommon,
if I can. I seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen,
humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the
calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and succeed. I will not trade
freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before
any master, nor bend to any bully or terrorist threat. It is my heritage to
stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefits
of my creations and to face the world boldly, and say, 'This I have done.'"
And, whatever I do, I do in the spirit of win-win. If I help others win, then I win too. I will win with others, not win at the expense of others.
-- Denis Waitley

3. Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley
Seeds of Love: The Ultimate Gift
Touch is the magic wand of intimacy. Love is keeping in touch.
Love should be a verb, not a noun or adverb. Love is an active emotion.
Don't assume that money, shelter and creature comforts are enough to demonstrate your love.
Nothing can replace your presence, your hug, your smile, your touch --- you!
Love is one of the few experiences in life that we can best keep by giving it away.
Only when you set your romantic and business partners free to be all they can be, will you know how attractive and lovable you are yourself; free of the insecurity and self-doubt that spawn envy and jealousy.
To love is to be open and vulnerable, and to receive graciously that which is given.
Value is in the doer, not the deed.
Love yourself and give away, all the love you can today.
Healthy love can't be demanded nor taken for granted. It can only be a continuing give-and-take exchange and dialogue between two independent persons who share many values and responsibilities, yet still feel a childlike magic with each other.
The first words you should speak to the one beside you when you awaken each morning are, Good Morning, I love you.’ The last words you should speak each night are, Good Night, I love you.’
-- Denis Waitley
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Improve your body language. Stand erect yet relaxed. Walk purposefully but
without arrogance. Your jaw and face should be relaxed, your eyes bright and in
direct contact with others while in conversation, your pronunciation should be
clear, your voice projecting confidence and intensity. Always extend your hand
and offer your own name first in any personal encounter -- and offer your name
first in phone conversations. Smile with your eyes, voice, face and body
language. In every language, a smile is a light in your window that says a
caring person resides within.
So this week stand tall and SMILE -- it will do wonders for you and give
light to those around you!
-- Denis Waitley
5. SUCCESS Symposium set/Jim Rohn Tribute
I was honored to be among the many personal achievement thought leaders to participate in a video tribute to my good friend and colleague, Jim Rohn. We shared stories, testimonials, thanks and admiration for Jim in the special video tribute that was shown at the recent SUCCESS Symposium in Dallas. It was amazing and powerful.
To view an edited version of the full tribute, share it with your friends or submit your own thoughts and tribute to Jim, go to
http://www.jimrohn.com/denis_waitley You'll also find a special offer on the 2008 SUCCESS Symposium CD/DVD set (I was a featured speaker at the first Symposium in 2008!) as well as some special packages of top products from the speakers at the recent 2009 Symposium.
