Performance Strategies: Are you excited?

If you are not excited about what you are doing...why then are you doing it?

The quickest path to burnout is hating the job at hand. Burnout doesn't typically come from working too hard at what you love, it usually comes from working just hard enough at what you despise.

Performance Strategies: Lessons from The DaVinci Code

Having read the book a while ago and experiencing the movie more recently, there are clearly several messages to share from The DaVinci Code. However, for me, the most poignant is that we don't know what we don't know until someone shows us...and then, if we accept it, it becomes real. But, if we don't, it isn't. Perception is reality.

Performance Strategies: Be different...

You are exactly where you should be today based on every decision and action (or inaction) you've taken. If you are not absolutely thrilled with what you have got so far, you've got to stop doing what you're doing and dare to be different. It's time to be "abnormal" and "unreasonable". Why? Simply because the normal and reasonable people are by far unhappiest. "Normal" people work for money. They don't attract it. "Normal" people worry about what others think rather than trust their own ideas. Normal is the average. Why be average when you can be incredible.

Performance Strategies: The Beginning

My name is Stephen Libman. Chances are that we have not yet met in person or online. I hope to change that as quickly as possible by inviting you to add this blog to your newsreader.

Why should you consider my offer?

Well, I am a performance strategist, a Corporate Performance Strategist to be more precise. Some think that's a fancy title for someone who can help businesses and individuals achieve great results in their personal and professional lives. Titles aside, I agree and that's exactly what I do. So, if you'd like to read my thoughts in the areas of performance development just add this blog to your favorites and stay "tuned" to my postings.
