 When we think of the word “quotient” we think of intelligence or emotional quotient. Right now I’m talking about your Overall Life Satisfaction quotient, your OLS? I’m talking about how to limit stress and make your day more fun and fulfilling.
Read this paragraph and do what is suggested fast. Do this really, really fast. Think about the word amazing. Now, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best; 1 being pretty bleak) rate your OLS. Is your life “amazing”? Do this without giving it much thought. Just rate yourself in a few seconds. Now go down the following list and do the same. Write down the number that comes to mind first:

 Are school teachers only meant to teach children spelling, calculus, and ancient history? Or are they also meant to be role models for how to behave as youngsters grow and become the next generation of business men and women?
We put these young people in schools to prepare them for the world of work. We hope the learning in school is both for skills as well as interpersonal relationships. So, what happened last week in New Jersey is particularly upsetting.

The torment for the parents of the young suicide victim, the children who are accused of causing the horrific situation, the parents of all these children, the school officials, in fact, all children, parents and teachers in the school are in this together.

Stress and anxiety have been at the boiling point for the last year, and depending where you live, the weather has been the proverbial icing on the cake.

 The following video has gone viral and is lots of fun to watch. It teaches some good lessons about the “first follower” as a leader. These early adapters are visionaries in their own right, and help make a movement happen.
In the video, we are talking about dancing at the beach: lots of fun and freedom and spontaneity. I would like to present a question and would love responses from all who are thinking about the ethics of followership.

 An important part of what we teach in our Total Leadership Connections Program is that it is an illusion to think we can separate who we are at home from who we are at work. That split causes a multitude of emotional and even physical issues for lots of people.
Even more, we teach that what we do in our present work organization is most definitely based on what we learned in our original organization – the family.

 Months ago I posted a blog on why women are so unhappy at work. I am still getting responses, even though most “older blogs” are put out to pasture by the end of the day they are conceived and birthed.
I have been thinking about why there is so much gloom and doom about getting up in the morning, going to a place where we are being asked to roll up our sleeves, produce and create, and then go home for an evening of feeling full and having been useful.

 As I was writing my Elegant Leadership blog about the poor choice of language from Michael Steele, of the Republican Party, I was reminded of a powerful scenario from a Leadership in Action program I led years ago.
There was a group of 24 business people from various organizations who gathered together for a week to understand leadership capabilities from an experiential perspective.
