Active Listening – Effective Communication
Are you a ‘Ball Stealer?’ What does that even mean?
With permission, in this episode, I share piece from the folks at Admired Leadership and their Field Notes blog. The piece asks the question, “Are you a despicable listener who steals the ball?” You’ll have to listen to this episode to take a deeper dive into what all this means when it comes to effective communication.
When it comes to personal, professional and leadership development, communication is key. Too many define communication as simply our ability to articulate our thoughts and share them with others without considering listening as a part of the equation.
Listen to this episode and let me know if you see yourself in anything I share.

Thoughts and Circumstances
What were you thinking? What are you thinking right now? If you would take time to step back and examine what has been your dominant and habitual thoughts, it won’t take you long to see how your thoughts have out-pictured as your current experience and circumstance.
When you move about life unconsciously, it doesn’t mean you are not generating thoughts, it means your thoughts are more reactive than creative and therefore just bringing you more of the same old thing. You tend to live life as a series of reactions to what is happening outside of you.
When you make the shift to consciously and deliberately choosing your thoughts and what you’re thinking about, you will see an almost immediate transformation of your circumstances depending on the nature of your new and intentional thoughts.
Persistent thoughts that are in harmony with your vision, your purpose, your mission and your ideal life experience, both personally and professionally, will tend to externalize and become your actuality.
Listen to this episode now as I take you deeper into how your thoughts are shaping your experience as an individual and how group thought influences your culture and results as an organization.

As A Man Thinketh
If you don’t like what is showing up in your life, your business, your organization, and / or your corporation; I strongly recommend you listen to this episode and take action at once.
Most of us, on this positive path of personal, professional and leadership development, have heard it said in many different ways; our dominant thoughts create our reality.
In fact, the quote for today in my ‘My-Tyme Success Planner’ by Paul J. Meyer, the founder of Leadership Management International says this:
“You are where you are and what you are because of the thoughts that dominate your mind.”
And we read in James Allen’s book, As a Man Thinketh:
“As he / she thinks, so he / she is; as he / she continues to think, so he/ she remains. The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to be harmoniously related to their inner state. Men and women do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”
So that clearly places the responsibility for the results that we experience on us. We have been conditioned to remain in the energy of the problem and the energy of the results we don’t like. We try to find solutions to move out of the hole by continuously focusing only on the hole.
There’s a better way. Understand how what is showing up in your life is directly related to your thoughts and you will have found the master key to experiencing all you desire to be, do and have; personally and professionally.
In this episode and the next few, we’ll take deeper dive into the classic work by James Allen; As a Man Thinketh.
Listen in now and let’s get started together!

Living from Source Energy and Higher Consciousness
So many wander aimlessly through life, living unconsciously, frenzied and frantic, often disturbed and agitated. They live life bouncing from one reaction to another like the steel ball in a pinball machine. Their reactions are often driven by fear and confusion as they receive the input that bombards all of us, from the world around us and outside of us.
These reactions often become part of their internal programming which drives their reactive and habitual behavior which almost always produces an undesirable effect as a life experience.
It is time to just STOP it. There is a better way, a Certain Way, to live life to the fullest, personally and professionally; to accomplish, achieve. and experience successful outcomes and the realization of worthy, intentional goals and dreams.
It’s time to stand in your power, to live from pure potentiality, to live solely from your higher self and from a higher, illumined state of consciousness. It’s time to make the shift to living from ‘On High.’
Listen in now to this episode. This just might be what you need to make the shift in your life, which will make all the difference in the world, when it comes to living the life you would love to live.

Crystalizing the Vision – Establishing the Foundation
Crystallizing your vision brings focused clarity to all you aspire to be, do, and have in your life and within your small business, your company, your organization or your ministry.
“Crystallizing your vision makes the process of becoming an effective leader much easier. For your associates, a concise vision identifies your overall business goals and links their goals to yours.
Without a vision statement, many of your team members are likely to feel that they are a part of something quite ordinary – something drab, dull and lacking direction. The vision statement sets the tone for the future of the company. [And for you!] It should be exciting but brief, it should convey a sense of urgency and a clear sense of corporate destiny.
If you want to be a highly effective leader, take a good look at your vision statement. (If you don’t have one, you need to set about creating one today!) A vision statement defines the future; every day you work without it, you are working for yesterday rather than for tomorrow. Your vision statement should be a conduit or channel for your goals and expectations. It should challenge you and your team members to a bright new future without burdening anyone with the mistakes and poor choices that may have been made in the past.” – From The 5 Pillars of Leadership by Paul J. Meyer and Randy Slechta
This episode takes you deeper and shows you the relationship between your purpose, mission, and vision and the order of be, do, have along with thought, word, and action. This is the Certain Way of establishing the desired culture in your organization by laying this solid foundation.
Listen now and take your life, your company, your business or your ministry; to the next level.
