Entrepreneurs + Internet ≠ Focus

June 8, 2009 By Susan Shaner

Don't let the internet vortex demon posses you or yes, this will be you! As an entrepreneur, it can be so easy to lose focus or feel that you are not making progress because you are juggling so many tasks and you want everything done today or aren't willing to delegate. ..And if you spend any amount of time looking for resources or customers ...

Where Do You Get Your Sea Legs in Another Round of Layoffs?

June 5, 2009 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

 How do you keep yourself grounded, focused and centered while laying off 10, 20 or 100s of employees who have families and mortgages? You were hired to be a leader and manager with a surgeon's laser-focus of diagnosing and treating the business's ills and opportunities for health and growth - yet, let's be real, you are a HUMAN being and these ...

Getting Heard Above the Crowd – Marketing vs. Relationships?

June 3, 2009 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Yesterday a friend said to me, "Why does everything have to be about marketing today? What happened to focusing on relationships?" She made this comment in reference to a high school reunion we are planning on attending in July (year excluded:) ). Being the daughter of a Madison Avenue sales executive, I have always cringed at anything that sounds ... [Read more]

I'm with Anna – Get A Life, Keep Perspective

May 29, 2009 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Amen Anna. I feel compelled to share a speech made by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Anna Quindlen at the graduation ceremony of an American university where she was awarded an Honorary PhD.

Energy Is The Currency Of The 21st Century

May 26, 2009 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Okay, so for months the news has been about how "bad the economy is" or about "how many people XYZ company laid off." This energy is negative, fear-inducing and generative. So what is the balance point that we strike between staying informed and shielding ourselves from being deluged with this negative energy that effects our own energy and ... [Read more]

Men Juggling Babies and Blackberries – Work-Life Integration

April 11, 2009 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Work-Life Balance is a common phenomena that I hear many people seeking these days. I prefer the term Work-Life Integration because "balance" is a relative, dynamic term. We may not be able to have the scales perfectly tipped in all areas of our life - time for ourselves, our family, our community on top of a demanding career - every single day, ... [Read more]

Spring Cleaning and Strategy – "Focustrate"

March 31, 2009 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Spring is the time to clean out, declutter and dust off things that have accumulated from winter. This can be anything from a 10 pound weight gain due to inactivity on cold winter days to getting rid of roller blades you haven't used in five years. What does this have to do with strategy? They are both about making FORCED CHOICES and then ... [Read more]

Can we Have Real Commitment without Spirit?

February 2, 2009 By Susan Shaner 2 Comments

I am breaking the last (?) taboo of “the corporate world” – to talk about energy, spirit – those intangibles that we all know exist – that really move us, give us meaning, and make a difference in how we are, how we feel, how we think and how we behave. Every leader and organization wants people’s passion and commitment. Who wouldn’t? But guess ... [Read more]
