Summer is a Great Time for Planning

Summer is a great time for planning and getting to those projects you just can’t seem to get to any other time during the year. Last week, the NMA team did a major planning retreat at my beautiful home here in TN. The reason for the retreat was to get together and do our mid-year review. What an amazing week! I am blessed to have such a great team of dedicated professionals surrounding me.

Out of our mid-year review came some really exciting ideas that we are now in the process of developing. Our highest priority at NMA is to be of service to business leaders and professionals who want to maximize their potential and increase their productivity (and profits). As a result of our mid-year review, we are actually developing two new programs, just for you, based on your wants and needs in this changing market place. I can’t wait to share them with you so keep your eyes and your ears open for more details about these two new programs in upcoming newsletters!

On a completely different note…for those of you who have not been to a Dairy Queen drive-thru with a miniature doxie, I highly recommend it. Talk about well behaved. She gets two inches of vanilla ice cream in a little bowl if she does not bark. In just two trips, she has learned that the ice cream is worth her silence. There must be lots of people getting ice cream for their dogs because the drive-thru people did not think my “doggie ice cream order” was odd.

If you answered “no” to the question above don’t feel badly…you aren’t alone!  I get phone calls every week from business professionals, just like you, who want and need help creating and being held accountable to their desired goals and outcomes.  The problem isn’t that they don’t know what they want, they definitely do.  The problem is that they don’t where to begin or what next step to take?  This is where I can help you!

Since 1993, I’ve personally coached hundreds of business professionals, managers, leaders, and executives to achieve powerful and profitable results in their professional and personal lives...and I can do the same for you, too.

When you sign up for your 50-minute Strategy Session with me, you’ll receive personal, one-on-one coaching directly with me. These sessions are packed (so packed that I’ll record the calls for you because there is no way you can take notes fast enough)!

In your personal Strategy Session you’ll get:

**Tips, techniques and strategies for your next best steps

**A very clear understanding of how make the most of your time with the least amount of work

**Laser focus on what you want, how you want to get it

So, if you're serious about maximizing your potential and increasing your productivity, then sign up for your one-on-one laser Strategy Session with me right now.

From Fear-Based Communication to Confident Results

By: Natalie R. Manor, CEO

Communicating difficult information can sometimes invoke real fear. I find that people at all levels of leadership are embarrassed by their lack of confidence or their fear in communicating information that their people need in order to improve their performance.

Not being able to communicate based on fear indicates that you probably have not thought through the outcome that you want to achieve by having the conversation. Have you waited longer than you wanted to pass on the information this person needs in order to improve their performance or to just “stop” doing something that is not working?

Here are some Red Flags to help you recognize when you have a communication issue:

The first step in solving this communication issue is to discover the reason why you are delaying giving someone information they NEED in order to perform well. Understand that once you establish the reason for the conversation and clearly detail what you want from the situation your fear of moving forward will begin to diminish.

Knowing where you are and knowing where you want to go provides you with direction and confidence.

Provide yourself with a forum for approaching any situation with clarity by asking yourself the following questions before you have a difficult conversation:

When you prepare for a difficult situation, you provide a space for yourself and others to be able to understand and listen. This understanding and listening assists you in removing the emotion and providing clarity around your desired outcomes. Good clear outcomes help you to deliver the information so that you are in rapport with the other person. When you are in rapport, even in a difficult situation, you are able to create and sustain trust and respect.  As a result of following this model you will move from fear based communication to creating confident results for yourself and others.
