Leadership with a Twist of Yoga

Luke Skywalker: "I don't believe it."

Yoda: "That is why you fail."

There is incredible power in what you believe. Next time you are not sure of something, instead of trying to "fake it til you make it" try this:

Ask yourself, "What if you could?"

Research has shown that saying, "I don't believe it," will shut down cognitive ability in the brain. Asking, "What if I could?" does the opposite. It will engage your brain in finding a solution.

This is me at the Pacific Ocean after driving across the country to start a whole new life in California. What if I can?

P.S. If you belong to my Food for Thought for NonProfits program, today at 5pm Pacific Time (8 pm EST) we have the "Food for Thought Talk." Two of the nation's top sales people (one for Alcoa and one from Otis Elevators) will teach you "How to sell your nonprofit."
