Dana Lynn Bernstein – Certified Executive & Life Coach, Professional Trainer

Success starts with connected-ness and the ability to build richer, fuller relationships, with ourselves and with others. You make a difference, but NOT when you are standing in your own way.

What would it it look like if the intent of your conversations were communicated more clearly so the receiver happily understands?

What would it look like if you were able to bring your project vision to life? How do you gain confidence in reading or writing a contract?

Recall conflicts you’ve had about salaries, promotions, evaluations, team members, being over or under managed. Projects that were too tough or too boing. And once in a while, throw in a pot stirrer or someone being insubordinate for no reason.

If your entire existence is about making life easier for others, or sincerely make them feel good during a transaction, what benefits would you reap?

HOW do we know what is truly an ethical issue? AND HOW do we develop standards for behavior to help us make powerful AND mindful choices – because ethics is our choice.

Ask yourself: WHAT type of leader do you want to be? WHAT approach will make your team more effective? You have many conflict resolution options - which will allow you to get back to being a productive team?

Everything we do starts with human connection. The ability to create a safe environment, demonstrate good listening and ask powerful questions will bring you richer and fuller relationships—both with yourself and those around you. You make a difference, but not when you are standing in your own way.
