If you were able to maintain a level of self-confidence that no circumstance could shake, what would you be doing differently? Just imagine the things you would accomplish if you were confident that you COULD. This kind of confidence comes from positive self-imaging, and it is something that you can proactively build for yourself. It doesn’t happen while you wait passively. When you leave it up to external factors, you build your self-confidence on sandy ground. What you need is a rock-solid foundation, and this only comes from building it from within.

The essence of a modern leader is inherently feminine; a more expressive type of leader who shares their feelings and emotions more openly and honestly. This is in direct contrast to what we find in traditional power systems today. Via Maria Rachelle
Deborah Long's insight:
Global research of 64,000 women and men indicates a shift from leadership being viewed as traditional power & politics to more inherent feminine leadership characteristics which are more highly valued.

I'd agree with most of what this article suggests. Nonprofit annual reports are, for the most part, staid, boring, and often filled with balderdash. How do we move to a new form of reporting that shows true impact in exciting ways? How does your nonprofit do this?

Non-Profit reporting should be about impact. Not admin costs, not, percentages. It should tell a story to potential donors as to the results their donations will produce. Sounds like a business, doesn't it? Ken

Best-selling author William A. Donius shares what neuroscience has revealed about how we can learn to literally think differently to be more innovative.
The process of using the non-dominant hand, considering a question and allowing an answer to flow forth from that hand without consciously thinking about it, is in effect, walking yourself down a new garden path – a truly amazing experience. Via Bobby Dillard, John Michel

Drawing on both sides of the brain particularly the non dominant side opens one to new experiences and ways of thinking.

As we age, neuroscientists tell us, our thoughts and patterns become more ingrained. The way our brains process, sort and ultimately respond to questions is akin to taking the same path through the garden over and over. We get to know the path very well, and it becomes familiar to us. As long as the problems we face are familiar, so are our approaches to solving these problems. We are in our intellectual “comfort zones.”
