Performance Strategies: What happened to Stephen?

For those of you who do not know, I am recovering from surgery as I write this entry.

On December 5th, 2007, I had a thoracotomy (see definition) to investigate a possible tumour. To my relief, and that of my friends and family, the result was nothing more than an inflated lymph node. The experience however, left me with many new views on many subjects. Stay tuned as I share my thoughts.

For those of you who knew about my health issue and wished me well, I thank you. Your support, thoughts and prayers went a long way and continue doing so. I am better and better each day and I have just returned to presenting workshops and seminars.

Performance Strategies: From eZine to Blog

Many of you have come to this Blog as a previous eZine subscriber to “The Drive to Achieve (DTA)” from my website at www.stephenlibman.com. If so, let me extend a special welcome.

For those who did not know, “The Drive to Achieve” was an eZine based on the thoughts and ideas stemming from my forthcoming book of the same name.

While I tried in earnest to deliver DTA to all subscribers, I was getting more and more “bounced” e-mails. I quickly discovered (as are many other e-mail newsletter writers) that spam filters have become quite unforgiving lately (in spite of running spam-check first). Then I discovered Blogs and realized I could still write my eZine (just in another format) and people could simply subscribe to the feed.

We all benefit. You, my valued readers, have more control and I know those who want The Drive to Achieve eZine are still getting it.

In addition to the new material, over time, I will post all the previous issues’ content here.

Thanks for staying connected. Please forward the link at right to your friends, family, colleagues, associates or anyone else you fell may benefit from some practical performance advice.

Performance Strategies: Know-Why versus Know-How

In his book "Life is Tremendous", Charlie "Tremendous" Jones (who, by the way, I've had the priviledge of being hugged by...another story for another day) talks about the difference between knowing how to do a thing compared with knowing why you are doing it. As Charlie says "...great organizations...have been built on the answers to "why"". I agree, once the "why" is known and you are aligned to it, the "how" becomes almost obvious. For more information on my program "The WHY Factor: Living Life on Purpose", I invite you to visit my website or click here for the pdf.

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.
