What are your dearest wishes for 2012? Happy New Year 2012!

The end of the year and the beginning of a new year are times when it is suitable to pause, have a break, to look back, step back on your life.

A time to connect with the important people in your life, a time to party, to share moments of fun and madness, but also moments of complicity, intimacy, warmth, love.

A time to review where you are, to relax and continue reinventing yourself.

When we think about the future we tend to do so with the eyes of our past. It’s quite natural but in doing so we limit the options to the events and contexts we have lived and experienced.
What if we opened our minds, our imagination and our thoughts beyond these limits?
The future could be, CAN be different. Totally different!
Only WE can decide it to be

What is your greatest dream?
Opening yourself up on all possibilities, what would be your most intimate wishes for 2012?

Happy New Year 2012! May all your dreams come true for this new year!

Do you feel ownership for your company's decisions?

What feeling of ownership do you have with decisions that are made? With the company?
In a company, the decision makers are in charge. The boss, the owner, director, whoever.
How are welcomed their decisions?
Do employees take ownership for them?
Whatever the decision, it is important not to lose the teams' confidence and commitment that will take charge and boost implementation. 
Beyond the perspective that "these people are paid to do it, so they will", getting them involved with the decision, or at least taking the time and clearly explaining it generates credibility, trust and commitment. Then the spirit, strength and perseverance to transform it into a success will be potentially multiplied. As will their ability to be flexible and adapt the implementation to really generate results.
Today, in the era of communication technologies, we easily fall into the trap of one-way communication without checking the proper reception of messages and decisions.
Taking the time to review the understanding and interpretation of their communications will avoid managers being misunderstood and will empower teams.
How do you communicate? How do you check your messages' reception?

You are a competent and successful professional but ...

You are a great professional, competent, complete, but tell me, in all this, what is really you?

What makes you come alive, what makes your eyes shine, what makes your whole body vibrate?
Sometimes I have the feeling you’ve become a super efficient machine that is not totally aligned with who you really are. You have been slowly learning, integrating, automating, imitating.
A bit like the mimicry of children copying what others do, you've been copying what you’ve been seeing, feeling, sensing and you’ve made it yours.
And you've done a great job. You have been very good at it because you definitely add value with your intelligence, your sensitivity, your personality, your perseverance. A tremendous value.

But you know what, however competent and efficient you may be, this light that connects you with your passion, your guts, your intimate desires, this light seems to be dimmed, to be veiled...What do you think? What are you feeling?

You are authentic and generous. You have charisma and vision. You’re a leader! A fantastic one! I can feel it when we talk and share.
But it seems the diamond you have inside, the diamond YOU are, is half hidden, covered with a veil, behind a shield...

What about uncovering it together? What about searching this inner treasure?
What's going wrong? What's missing?
What are you passionate about? What is important to you? What is really yours?
Let’s go for this quest and out will come all the light, strength and energy you have inside.
Are you ready?
