Assess YOUR FUTURE - the good, bad and fantastic

Okay, so I have been away for a while creating - or better yet, redefining - my companies (stand up leadership and stand up community/formerly moms4teens). What I have come to accept in my mission in life is: 1) My strength lies in business creation, transition, follow-through, and accountability and 2) My passion as an advocate to children, employees, and athletes gives me joy.

From this point, all I want from my clients and future clients is to accept their position in their life (good, bad, or indifferent) and declare "no more" that they will stand for status quo.

With that said (boy is this becoming a phrase for me), I have seen many personality assessments that just aren't up to par with the Winslow Behavior Assessment (the ONLY assessment to date that is EEOC Compliant). This assessment isn't a tool for labeling an individual, it is a system to begin the personal and professional growth of individuals ready to make a difference in their lives.

STOP sitting and make a move toward your future - TODAY!!

OMG.. Women's Soccer Vilian Caught On Tape

Are you SERIOUS? Emotions flare and soar during sporting events each and every day, but come on athletes. We MUST not allow our young athletes get any sort of idea that behaving like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC-pF3OHY1c) is okay.

As I posted below, the coach who suspended the player for sucker punching an opponent is teaching other athletes "no tolerance" - what is the coach doing today with this player? Playoffs or not, she MUST be suspended and receive mental toughness coaching prior to getting back on the field. What are we teaching our children if we do not do something about these types of vicious acts?

MOVE IT and move on! Elizabeth Lambert - get some help!

LaGarrett Blount's Suspension

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4446898
I am so proud of the head football coach, finally, who suspended Blount for sucker punching a Boise State player after Oregon's loss. This reaction just goes to show you that physical endurance ONLY is not going to make the grade in college and professional sports any longer. Players and their coaches must go through behavior preparedness to further the athlete's athletic performance.

PLAY SMART & improve who YOU ARE! Skill will only get you so far my young friends. Being smart on and off the field/court will bring you the riches you deserve.

Athletic Excellence includes Mental Readiness

According to the Athletic Insight - The Online Journey of Sport Psychology most coaches and athletes neglect improving their psychological readiness skills, which hinders the athlete's ability to excel to the highest level and sustain that excellence. http://www.athleticinsight.com/

If coaches are serious about improving their athletes and helping the athlete improve, they would hire a mental readiness athletic coach. SERIOUSLY!

Image of ultra-thin Ralph Lauren model sparks outrage

Have you seen this article?

HOW can we ever move into a world where each of us is BEING themselves when the already bone-thin models aren't thin enough. The picture is so disgusting! She looks like those dolls (the BRATZ) where her head is large and her airbrushed body is remotely thin and frail. If you want to look like you are just about dead... go ahead girls attempt a shape like that!

We must fight against the rights of companies to promote something other than what they take a picture of. Okay, I must stop there or I will write things I may regret later. :)

Eat well and be healthy young girls and boys!

Parents Unite!

I cannot believe what I am hearing about our youth today.

Our young girls and boys find that the media's representation of love, friendship, etc is mainstream. Where are the parents in this process. Parents, we must communicate more with our children. I know, "if I get my son or daughter to respect their peers, there will be other children who don't so why bother." I am not sure what to even say about that.

If you wash your hands of a situation because you don't want to deal with it or don't feel it will matter, you are creating the outcome yourself. Simply put (Jack Canfield's E + R = Outcome)! you have the responsibility to deal with the teaching and respect in your backyard.

As for those other young children and their parents' -- we really need to open our eyes, hearts, and mind and stop driving with our eyes closed!
