I’ve been busy ramping up the TM Solutions Business & Leadership workshops and webinars.  Here’s a couple of webinars coming up soon.  I’ve provided links to FREE registration for readers of my blog.  Yes, this is shameless self promotion.  A girl’s got to make a living.

On the Career Front

I know my posting has become pretty anemic with barely weekly kiddo reports and the occasional update on whether I happen to be running or not (I am now).  One reason that I have posted less has to do with my efforts on the career front.  So what’s the scoop?

Responding Under Pressure

It doesn’t take a rocket genius to recognize that we often behave differently when we’re relaxed than we do when we’re under pressure.  In fact, I’d bet most of us can reliably predict how our personality traits change between these two states of being.

Motivation and Personality

This is the follow up post to Defining a Long Term Plan and answers the other part of the question of how I stay motivated to train.  Motivation is a funny beast that takes on a different forms for different people.   An individual’s personality– their unique combination of drives, motives, preferences and avoidances– tell the story of what keeps them motivated.

There’s  no better tool than Human Patterns to measure these preferences and interests, so let’s use the tool to help explain what and why people are motivated.

Value Proposition Help Request

Thinking Styles And Training

We all think but we all don’t think the same way.  Anyone with any exposure to other humans would have to agree with that statement.  Surely.  Wouldn’t it be nice if we could anticipate how someone we work with will approach a problem and figure out how to mirror their approach? That would be [...]

What Are Your Values?

About a month and a half ago I committed to writing about certain topics but thus far have only delivered on one of them.  It’s time for another installment, so I’ll draw on a theme that’s been cropping up in my life on a regular basis recently.  Some people call this synchronicity — the [...]

Stages

There was a point during the Human Patterns certification course where we were going through Erik Erickson’s stages of psycho-social development (and the related aspects personality) when I saw a pattern that matched my experienced phases of involvement in multi-sport.  Now that I’m going back over my poorly written notes and am relying on internet searches [...]
