The most powerful form of meditation that you can practice is both the easiest and the most difficult.
What I mean by that paradox is that this meditation is easy to do and difficult to sustain.
This form of meditation is easy to practice in part because you can do it anywhere at any time in any situation. It doesn’t require quiet, aloneness, fixation on a sound or mantra or image or any particular breathwork, or blanking of the mind.
It is a powerful meditation in that its results are felt and evidenced immediately, and not only by you, but by others with whom you interact.
This powerful meditation is the practice of presence. The practice of being and acting fully present in the current moment. Holding your presence fully in the now.
Mastering this meditation is a 5-step process. To engage in this meditation practice, simply: (more…)

The questions you ask and choose to explore shape the outcomes you achieve. The trick is to ask powerful questions.
They cut to the chase. They move you forward quickly and smartly.
Asking powerful questions is at the heart of “coaching” as it was developed by Thomas Leonard. And I’ve been collecting lists of powerful questions, or coaching questions, for 11 years — ever since I was first exposed to Leonard’s approach.
But simply being armed with a mile-long list of powerful questions does not make one a good coach. Or guarantee you magnificent, rapid, sustainable personal success. The good coach and the smart achiever know how to ask the right type of question at exactly the right moment.
Better, I think, to understand what a powerful question is, so that you can instinctively pose one when it is needed, than to have a long list of questions to sort through. (Though a list is valuable.)
So what is a powerful question?
The best explanation I have come across comes not from the world of life coaching or business coaching or corporate coaching, but from pioneers of The World Cafe process, Juanita Brown and David Isaacs.
They write, on their website, that a powerful question has eight defining characteristics: (more…)

I’m doing a study of charisma.
Would you help me because I need a wide variety of input and
opinion?
Just two questions:
1. Who are the 4, 5 or 12 most charismatic people you can think
of? (Anyone living or dead; famous or not.)
2. For each person you name, what 1, 2 or 3 key traits contribute
most to your perception of that person as charismatic?
Please respond by clicking on the word ‘Comments’ or the phrase ‘leave a response’ highlighted just below.

Very cool site:

No more frustrating recorded voices telling you to press 1 if you’re cute and press 2 if you’re not and press 3 if you’re just not sure or having a bad-hair day.
Before calling any big company, check http://www.gethuman.com/us/ first and see if the company is listed. If so, follow the simple instructions (more…)
