People today talk of the Work-Life Balance, which is good, but not entirely accurate; it suggests a split between work and life, a choice between the two which can be remedied by information or techniques that will enable them to co-exist in harmony: you can have work and life! However, work is part of lifeContinue reading “The RAG in Motivation”

Psychometric Flowers
Sometimes things occur which are so typical and so representative of a problem that one has to comment on it. I am referring to the Paul Flowers case in the UK. For my international readers not familiar with this, the basic facts of the case are that a man called Paul Flowers was appointed toContinue reading “Psychometric Flowers”
America and Motivational Maps
Motivational Maps are operating in 12 countries but not the United States of America, which is clearly a tragedy. Why? Because I – with reservations (and the same is true of England, my home!) – love America. Oddly, I have never been there; yes, I have been to Canada (and they have Maps), and yes,Continue reading “America and Motivational Maps”
Finding Three Reasons Why Anyone Should Buy from You
It is certainly true that the life blood of any company is its sales; I would not want to make a fetish of this as some companies do to the extent that everybody else is made to feel a second class citizen. Clearly, the well run organisation focuses on sales and sees all the otherContinue reading “Finding Three Reasons Why Anyone Should Buy from You”
Motivational Maps and Selling
Our product, Motivational Maps, has many applications and some of them are pretty obvious: motivation, performance, productivity, team building, appraisal, and recruitment to mention the most obvious. But selling? How is Motivational Maps relevant to selling and increasing sales? The good news is that Motivational Maps is highly relevant to sales and there are threeContinue reading “Motivational Maps and Selling”
New Year’s Resolutions or Intentions for 2014
Here I am again at the end of the year contemplating what has been, and what may appear in 2014. This year has a particular blessed, although my tumour reappeared in a CT scan earlier in the year. Somehow, though, I believe that all is well and will be well.But let me ask you? AreContinue reading “New Year’s Resolutions or Intentions for 2014”
Being 100 and Wholly Distracted
Governments have two main ways to control their people. One, and obviously, are the Police, Judiciary, Armed Forces and so on. Overuse of the 'assets' and people sooner or later (Tunisia) get fed up and rebel. No, these 'assets' are heavy handed and really can only be 20 or 30% of the solution if societyContinue reading “Being 100 and Wholly Distracted”
Peace on Earth and Peace more generally
The time to be jolly, and the time of peace on Earth: it’s Christmas! What’s this all about then? Simply one thing: the ultimate benefit we are all looking for in this life, and which all benefits boil down to – peace of mind. That’s why, even commercially, companies give ‘peace of mind’ guarantees andContinue reading “Peace on Earth and Peace more generally”
Creeds, Incarnation and the Trinity
Here we are again – at Christmas time. Bliss! A holiday. A time to reflect on what is important. And what is more important, more important than virtually anything else, is what we believe. Why? Because what we believe affects all the outcomes of our life. Famously James Allen cited the Bible and virtually launchedContinue reading “Creeds, Incarnation and the Trinity”
Why Go to a Conference?
Tomorrow we kick off with another Motivational Maps conference at the Elstead Hotel in Bournemouth and I am really looking forward to it. Why do people go to Conferences? What is the point? And what do they take from them? People go to Conferences, I think, to belong: to be part of something bigger thanContinue reading “Why Go to a Conference?”
