Andrew Carnegie's 9 Ways to Change People Graciously

1.  Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

2.  Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.

3.  Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.

4.  Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.

5.  Let the other man save his face.

6.  Praise the slightest improvement, and praise every improvement.

7.  Give a man a fine reputation to live up to.

8.  Use encouragement. Make the fault you want to correct seem easy to correct; make the thing you want the other person to do seem easy to do.

9.  Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

Energy Leadership and You

Many people fail to realize that everyone is a leader either by choice or by default.  The challenge becomes in how will we lead when it is our time to be in the spotlight.  

The body is an energy system.  It is self-directed and impacted constantly by thought.  Those thoughts can be of a catabolic nature which is often negative and unhealthy; or, anabolic which is healthy and constructive.  Every thought and action has a very specific energy pattern that impacts the results we obtain and in essence the life we live.

The Energy Leadership Index Assessment will enable leaders or individuals to obtain a baseline for their current level of awarness, performance and effectiveness.  It allows the leader to look at themselves in a mirror and better understand and experience their perceptions, attitudes, behaviors and overall leadership capabilities.  Then, through an effective partnership with an Energy Leadership Coach, undertake a detailed process to learn how to shift their energy to present themselves in a way that inspires greatness in themselves and others.
