Good outcomes take longer than you'd like to come to
fruition, so patience is particularly a key. However, most of us are guilty of
over working or, worse, we become workaholics. Before giving too much gets to
be too much, it's best to introduce some preventative measures: It might be
spending some time getting fit, eating healthier, perhaps doing some yoga, or
practicing mindfulness, or spending time with your family. It almost doesn't
matter what you do, as long as you take some positive action. Without taking
action most things remain the same, or invariably become worse. <br />
<br />
Some of you may be thinking - "<i>My main priority is business, when I get that
right, that's the time to take care of me." </i>Of course, taking care of one's
business is a major priority. But getting your business to a place where
everything is running well can be quite a task. It’s still important to take
time to replenish that place within you from where everything emanates. When we
end up over-giving, we fail to withstand everyday pressures because we have
become emotionally drained, physically exhausted and intellectually numbed. <br />
<br />
In reality, this leads to becoming less resilient. When our inner
resources become depleted, we are disabled from being able to tap into
the best of who we are. So give yourself the luxury of taking better care
of yourself, then observe how your energy levels become more buoyed, new ideas
start to emerge, and also, you experience your intuition kicking in. It's just
too easy for us to give into bad habits. It takes about 30 days to create a
sustainable new habit, one that will serve you faithfully. Equally, it takes
the same amount of time to break a bad habit. So if you start now, this time
next month is likely to be th<i>e new beginning of the new you.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2013 has arrived, it's time to express heartfelt passions, and our desire for
business and personal success. It has become clear to me that now is the year
to consciously decide the actions we will take in 2013. Actions that will
enable us to have more of what we want. We are in a period of change, in that
if we continue to do what we've been doing, we will continue to get what we've
been getting.<br />
<b><br />
</b>First, we need to establish our purpose: what are we here to do<b>?</b> Or,
what are<i> you</i> here to do. Without purpose, we cannot truly establish our
authentic goals. For me it's been a long journey, one that continues. For
about 25 years, I've been researching, teaching, coaching and guiding people
about how to develop an <i>authentic </i>Personal Brand, a Brand that truly
represents who they are on inside, and how they can convey it on the
outside. <br />
<br />
In all my research, experience and journeying, I've not come across any self
development programme that integrates E.Q (Emotional Intelligence), S.Q
(Spiritual Intelligence) and good old fashion common business sense. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moreover, it's to do with taking action(s) in
that only by taking action, can we become more authentic, increase our
confidence, self esteem, be more effective and have greater influence. And, as
importantly, be a wonderful role model. <br />
<br />
So I'd like to invite those who are similarly minded to join me at a <i>Power
of One</i> workshop on January 16th. This event will help you to upgrade your
Personal Brand. In addition, I'd like to explore how/if this programme can help
you to further enhance you and your business.<br />
<b><br />
</b>This is an introductory workshop will take place at 2:00 p.m. and finish at
5:00 p.m. The fee is £15.00 which meets expenses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think some are confused about the real meaning of Personal
Branding. In many cases, it's thought to be solely an online tool to increase
one's profile. Of course it can do that and that's all well and good. Others
believe its primary function is to assist us with being discovered online by
recruitment companies and the like. You get the picture. In short, by many, Personal
Branding is considered to give one an elevated online profile.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While it's important to ensure that we prominently promote
ourselves online, equally as important, is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">how</i>
we promote ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, ask
yourself what your purpose is. I come across many men and women who say their
only purpose in life is to support their family, or, to climb the corporate
ladder. And whilst these goals and aspirations are worthy, in my opinion they are
not enough. To be able to live a fuller life, we need to establish our purpose;
something far bigger than generic personal, or family goals. This means
discovering what we are here to do. Better still, what kind of legacy we wish
to leave.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I firmly believe that each of us need to have a purpose that
as well as being personally motivated, is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">universally</i>
motivated. That's to say, bigger than just about us and/or our nearest and
dearest. The world is more connected now, more than it ever has been, which means
we now have the means to communicate with far more people than we ever have. We
have the opportunity to let large numbers <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>know who we are, moreover, how we can affect
their lives. Some of us will write a book, others teach, perhaps help a
charity, or maybe learn a new skill that will have a positive impact on
others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It doesn't matter what your purpose is, what does matter is
that you have one. For instance, you might decide to help an elderly neighbour
with their shopping. Perhaps visit someone in a home or hospital. Give a small
amount of cash to a charity. These relatively small acts of generosity tend to
ignite our ability to think outside the box. Furthermore, these kinds of deeds lead
us to releasing dopamine, affectionately known as the "happy
hormone." In addition, it kick starts the process of us developing our
bigger purpose with greater ease and leads us to greater self discovery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We now have the facility to spread<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> our</i> word both quicker and more effectively than any other time in
history. Surely we can make our purpose wider than just about what we
personally want. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our reputation can be
further enhanced, or damaged according to how we portray ourselves. And in
order to enhance our reputation, to a degree, will depend how others talk about
us. In addition, we need to become kinder, more thoughtful and generous. These
three characteristics will change our way of thinking, and change the way we
are perceived. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Garnering a top-notch reputation is no mean feat. First, you
must know what your purpose is. It's not enough to say 'My purpose is to be a
great provider to my family.' Of course that's important and something to be
proud of. My point is, that in order to garner a stellar reputation, we need to
be known for what we do outside of our personal life. For instance, my purpose,
outside my personal life is to help and guide men and women to become more
authentic. Discovering yours will be a life changing event. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Awareness
of self and of those around us provides us with the gift of empathy. When we
are truly able to empathise, we become closer to being a better human being.
Empathy is a trait that we can all learn. It begins to emerge when we are able
to dissolve our ego. That is, not to focus only on ourselves, our needs and
wants. Of course, we are all conscious of how we want to live, for some, it's
about how to survive and get by. However, if we are only focused in this way,
we neglect our spiritual needs. By that, I’m referring to aspects that make us
more conscious of the world around us. One might say; the things that are not <i>all
about us.<br />
</i><br />
Some of the individuals I coach, are daunted when I explain to them that when
our ego is dissolved, we become an improved version of who we are. A
gentleman banker I worked with recently, just couldn’t see the point of letting
go of his ego. For him, the very thought was an anathema. It was as if he’d
been conditioned to believe that he was the centre of the universe. Therefore,
almost everything that happened to him mattered to everyone else. <br />
<br />
It's only by attempting to develop a non-egotistic mind, that we can explore
the great benefits that emerge from not just focusing on ourselves. I used to
think that individuals who conveyed scoops of empathy and compassion, had what
contemporary psychologists describe as a 'natural pattern': a talent that
enables them to feel and communicates empathetically naturally. Lately, I've
discovered that what seemingly comes natural, is a hard earned skill. In
essence, when we are empathetic toward others, we are making a sacrifice.
That's because we are giving our attention to another individual. It's like
saying, his/her needs are greater than mine, therefore, here, I don't come
first. <br />
<br />
One of the big advantages of seeing life through the eyes of another, is that
it diverts your attention away from the concerns you have that only relate to
you, and are about you. The reason for this is because when we give our
complete attention to someone else's life challenges, our own become less of a
concern. In essence, that's how we can reduce catastrophizing less about our
lot. Somehow, the more time we spend worrying about our concerns, no matter how
small or large, they tend to expand exponentially. So, giving of yourself to
another person and their needs, no matter what you are going through, is a
positive strategy for reducing stress and worry.

style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Each of us has a Personal Brand... In part, it’s to do with our reputation. To a degree, our reputation can rest upon what others, who <i>think </i>they know us, say about us. And in these somewhat volatile times, having a reputation we are proud of is something that has become pivotal. With a top-notch reputation we can win more business, stand taller, raise our self esteem, increase our confidence, and trust ourselves more.<br /><br />To have a Personal Brand you are proud of, you’ll need to have specific qualities and characteristics in place. Although there’s no one-size-fits-all standard, there are certain aspects of our personality, when developed appropriately that aid <span style="color:red"></span>our journey into being the best version of who we are. I’d like to share my heartfelt beliefs of some aspects of our personalities <span style="color:red"></span>I consider to be highly important. First, we need to acknowledge the fact that we make a first impression within the first 10-seconds of meeting someone for the first time.<br /><br />To ensure that the impression we make is the right one, we need to make sure our mind is free of negative thoughts. With this one quality in place we can convey an upbeat attitude. To dissolve negative thinking, we just need to breathe consciously, and when you feel comfortable, breathe more deeply inwardly and outwardly, slowly, three times. When we do this, we provide more oxygen to our brain; hence, giving ourselves an uplift in energy. Then, hold your head high; stand tall and observe how much better you feel. If you do this regularly it will become natural.<br /><br />The other quality we need to convey is enthusiasm. Think about it, doesn’t it feel good to be in the company of people who are enthusiastic? We tend to mirror the behaviours of others, so each and every way we communicate is likely to be mirrored by them. Genuine enthusiasm is contagious, because it provokes good feelings and dissolves negativity, both within us and in others. To experience more enthusiasm, consider three things in your life you are most proud of. As Richard Bandler, the founder of NLP has said, <i>“You get more of what you focus on”.</i> So focus on all the good stuff you do, have done, and you are likely to get more of what you want.<br /><br />It’s said that nice people don’t finish first, or can be trodden on, etc. Consider your intention and purpose. If your intention is to connect, and your purpose is to help others, being nice is vital. We do more business with the people we like. Being nice can be a discipline for some, an effort for others, and/or too much of a stretch. Irrespective of how easy or challenging being nice is for you, know that by <i>going the</i> <i>extra mile</i> and doing <i>the right thing</i>, even if nobody’s looking, will enable you to feel better about your life.<br /><br />Being able to engage and build rapport is both rewarding personally and a wonderful quality to be able to convey. In essence, it’s to do with the desire to communicate with people in ways that are warm, personable and friendly. First, you’ll need to know how to ask ‘good questions’, questions that are personable, not personal. A good question is one that has a reigned in ego, and who’s primary intention is <i>not</i> about <i>‘</i>what’s in it for me<i>.’</i> It has to be a question that shows genuine interest, an ability to listen 100% and have a genuine desire to engage.<br /><br /><br /><br /> </span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""></span></span></p><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span></span></p><span style="font-size:130%;"> <br /><br /><br /></span>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-11608074893849613732011-08-12T05:07:00.000-07:002011-08-14T07:11:26.112-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8CxhLxB9kUK09yxtGslawANTIz5lAgnD3Zj6ZGQaRryp9V42ImA0MshiTQfypuPjxUkIc8yvDdYA3vw0B369W_gBpo0zeZjkjlD3C21VnhKWLOqXibJbYcYoZr-Ha43OQO727FjVIoios/s1600/showup3.jpg"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 400px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640689054770725506" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8CxhLxB9kUK09yxtGslawANTIz5lAgnD3Zj6ZGQaRryp9V42ImA0MshiTQfypuPjxUkIc8yvDdYA3vw0B369W_gBpo0zeZjkjlD3C21VnhKWLOqXibJbYcYoZr-Ha43OQO727FjVIoios/s400/showup3.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong style="font-family: arial;"><em><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:180%;">Do You Have The Courage To Be Who You Are Meant To Be?</span>
<br /></span></em></strong>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >Before I decided to use this title for my blog, my mind was flitting back and forth, somewhere between ‘What do I want to write about?’ to ‘Nah, I’m not really in the mood to write about anything.’ Then, as I was making the bed, (one of my morning rituals) I thought, ‘Am I being who I’m meant to be?’ Having given the question some thought, I’m inclined to say, ‘maybe.’ However, my hope is that after I’ve written this blog, I’ll be closer to knowing... My other hope is, that you, the reader, will be closer to knowing who you are meant to be. Or perhaps be more inquisitive.
<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >
<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >Over the last 25 years, much of my life has been spent in the self-development arena, which has included spirituality, psychology and the science behind happiness and well-being. I continue to read any book that’s likely to help me to help others, and by so doing, almost by osmosis, be of benefit to me too. In addition, I’ve picked up numerous tools, through attending seminars, workshops, and various one-one-one coaching and therapy sessions. I can say, through these numerous modalities, I do know myself better. Can I say that I now know who I am meant to be? Well, the honest answer continues to be maybe...
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >Like numerous people I continue to meet, work with and read about, my childhood was not exactly perfect by any means. And yes, like others, I like to think I’ve been able to move on. However, it would be churlish of me to just cast the experience aside, as you might a worn out dishcloth. Self refection is an essential part of being who we are meant to be. And the main reason for this is to know oneself better: Getting to grips with lingering emotional stuff that’s best left to the past; yet emerges when we least expect it to, is freeing. That’s because we can then give ourselves a break from conditioning, upbringing, history and perhaps some false beliefs.
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >We can only truly discover who we truly are by delving into who we want to be. And when we do this, initially, we must be prepared to experience more questions than answers. It’s the questions that will propel you toward becoming who you truly are. Think of yourself as an investigative reporter who’s been charged with discovering where the truth lies in a matter of human frailty and misunderstandings. This attitude will enable you to distance yourself emotionally from your feelings and fears. Discovering our true identity is as worthy as it is to discovering a new medical cure. It will change your life, as you now know it, forever. I know that some people have no desire to delve into their lives in the way I’m describing. When I hear that, I think about courage and curiosity.
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" >Our courage, curiosity and desire to improve our life, needs to be ego-free and open to new thoughts. We will also be helped if we are prepared to take risks, make mistakes, experience change and welcome the newness that will come with these experiences. Getting to know who we really are is the one experience in our lives that is unique to us. And while we are in discovery-mode, as if by osmosis, a truer, more authentic version of the person we are meant to be emerges. So, if this is an area of your development you intend to explore, my advice is to be patient, self-caring, be brave and take risks. Know that you’ll make mistakes, and that they will guide you to being a version of you that you will find fulfilling, and will give you more purpose in your life.

Each of the attendees were open, receptive and desirous to know how they could further develop their Personal Brand.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I began by explaining that e</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ach of us has a Personal Brand. In essence, it’s what others say about us when we are not in the room – our reputation. And in order to be in more control of our reputation, largely, will depend on our attitude, behaviour and the way we communicate. In addition, our listening skills, ability to engage and build rapport are paramount. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">By asking 'good questions', we are able to engage with greater expedience and to connect to others. By showing genuine interest in the other person, by default, we come across as more interesting. G</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">enerally, people love it when we remember something relevant about them, it often surprises them. And if this is in a business context, it doesn’t have to be about business! This is a delicate balance: not too personal, but always personable.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">In order for our brand to have greater influence, particularly in these challenging times, people want us to be authentic. The word<em> authenticity</em> can mean many things, including ‘genuine’, or ‘real.’ The dictionary’s meaning I’m attaching to the word is <em>undisputed credibility</em>. And to be known as someone who has undisputed credibility; of course, you have to know your stuff. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">We've all met people who are deeply experienced, and know their subject inside out. However, when it comes to communicating what they know to others, they often fall short. That's because to be able to communicate your experience and knowledge, entails courage, self belief and being true to who you are. Also, it's important that you firmly believe that your knowledge/experience is something that will benefit others.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Here, it helps to have emotional resilience - an ability to bounce back. This one characteristic sends a very posiitve message to one and all. As if by osmosis, it sows the seed of optimism, enthusiasm, passion and self-belief within us. And in many ways, when those qualities are in place, getting our message across becomes far easier. Moreover, we gain more meaning in our life, because we know we are bringing more meaning to the lives of others.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I do believe my workshops encourage, support and enable people to leave the event inspired and motivated to take actions that otherwise might not have occcurred to them. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">My next workshop is on June 28.

The follow-up note is intended to act as both a reminder of the day, and a pointer to aspects of the event that I felt touched upon universal themes.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The <em>Personal Branding</em> workshop was as inspiring for Jorgen and me as it was for the attendees who uniformly provided us with top-notch feedback. In addition to Jorgen, who spoke about <em>Personal Branding</em> as it relates to social media and I, who spoke about one’s<em> Inner</em> and <em>Outer Brand</em>, there were three experts, each of whom proved to be congruent with our overall message about <em>Personal </em></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Branding.</em></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">For our next event on April 6, we'</span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">ve invited two speakers. Susan Heaton Wright is an accomplished voice-coach, whose approach aligns with the acclaimed voice coach and author of <em>“Presence”</em>, Patsy Rondenberg. In addition, Bob Jacobs, an alternative health practitioner who was voted by <em>Tatler</em> magazine as ‘One of Britain’s Top 250 Private Doctors’, will talk to us about how we can increase our energy levels by making better health choices. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Below are aspects of the last workshop that I hope you’ll find both interesting and helpful. At the beginning of the event, each of the attendees voiced their desired outcome for the day. They included:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">- </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Life direction clarity<br /><br /></em>- </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>A nudge in the right direction<br /></em><br />- </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Understanding their own brand<br /></em><br />- </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Understanding reputation<br /><br /></em>- </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Congruence</em></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><em></em></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Each of these required outcomes are up to us to manifest in our lives. And as I mentioned on the day, being a positive role model, conveying an attitude that focuses on solutions, using humility and optimism, will, almost by osmosis, help one to achieve the outcomes above.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Also, appropriately placed and ‘well delivered’ humour, combined with excellent listening skills and empathy are key to gaining a stellar reputation. And when we combine these characteristics with knowing how to ask a ‘good’ question (a good question is one that shows interest in others) we are perceived as a positive role model - someone worth following.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I talked a little about intuition, or, as I refer to it, <em>in-tuition</em>. Over the years I’ve met, interviewed and coached many highly successful leaders, and they’ve all told me that they use their <em>in-tuition</em> when making decisions that for some, need more research, explanation or evidence. I’m not suggesting that one bases all decisions on gut feelings - I am saying acknowledge those feelings, and when they are strong, feel grounded and have a quiet certainty about them, take note.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Lastly, I’d like to touch upon letting go. In essence, letting go is a helpful strategy to advance career prospects, often in unexpected ways. That’s because when we are too attached to a specific outcome we prevent the possibility of a different outcome, one that is often better all round. In short, train yourself to be flexible and nimble. This is something that I firmly believe is worth considering.<br /><br />Here's the information about our next workshop: <a href="http://ow.ly/48qHU">http://ow.ly/48qHU</a><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-89880943854333526362011-01-24T03:04:00.000-08:002011-01-24T04:41:29.849-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"><strong>So little time, so many books to read...</strong> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 356px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565712203055997458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiEKRQGLBSMC3nMDnPtlYdpqRDkncUDwzfNKoUY2MyFO5Sqfim9Y2YRsYg8GB2pPCRHXK1ggb-sCeU5CtPl5AYVWpP6w6k62uKcGYYOAF1pXFTrKQlKHy8lgsULgk2SihUknjY3DJ40d6J/s400/Man+and+books.jpg" />
<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Or, perhaps we don’t give enough time to reading the kinds of books that have the power to transform, inspire, and help us to change us for the better. At a very early age, my curiosity about how I could live a more ‘meaningful life’ was insatiable. And because I didn’t have the wherewithal to articulate my feelings, I’d say things like, <em>‘Why are we</em> <em>here?’</em>, or, <em>‘Is this it?’</em> Most of my friends thought I was weird, to my relatives I could have been speaking a foreign language.
<br />
<br />Fast-forward to my early thirties when my interest in self-development became heightened. Whilst attending a personal growth seminar, someone suggested I read <em>“The Road Less Travelled.”</em> This was my first foray into the world of reading books that have enabled me to experience my life through an alternative lens, I might add a lens with a far richer view-finder than I could have ever hoped for, or imagined.
<br />
<br />When people I don’t know well ask me to recommend a book, I’m often reticent to do so. For me, it’s like recommending a piece of art, or a movie I enjoyed. I’m not entirely comfortable assuming that something that personally resonated with me will do so for someone else. And although I’ve read numerous personal development books, self-help books, books that tell a fictional story that turn out have life affirming parables, knowing which one might best suit another person just seems too assumptive.
<br />
<br />In my attempt to share some of my reading with a wider audience, I’ve compiled a partial list of books that have contributed to my own development, and my desire for continued personal growth. You might notice the omission of <em>“The Road</em> <em>Less Travelled”</em> - It’s many years since I read this book, and I’m uncertain as to whether it will have the same relevance today as it had all those years ago. It’s probably time to read it again...</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Here's my partial list:</span></div><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><em>One Man’s Search for Meaning</em>, by <strong>Viktor Frankl</strong>: A remarkable true story of one man’s courage, emotional resilience and determination to survive. </span>

I’m equally excited about the line up of experts who will give this event a special energy, and add exceptional value to the day and to those attending. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of being invited to speak to large corporations about <em>Personal Branding</em> and on each occasion, all I’ve had to do is turn up. The venues were organised, the attendees invited, refreshments in place, materials printed, and the perfect room prepared for me to deliver my 75 minute keynote speech.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">This time it’s different, and although I’m co-presenting with Jorgen Sundberg, there’s still a lot to do. Fortunately, Jorgen found the venue, which is a lovely boutique hotel in the West End, <em>The Leonard</em>. I’ve been there three times to check the room where the workshop will be held. The level of service and food, as far as I can tell is spot on. The hotel’s welcoming lounge has three log fires, big comfy sofas, and what one might describe as an eclectic array of mildly eccentric decor. Yet, everything is low-key and in very good taste, particularly the service, which I have found to be superb on each occasion.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">This one-day workshop is titled, <em>Personal Branding from the Inside Out</em>. Apart from Jorgen and me, there are three special guest speakers attending. Nita Shah, a superb yoga teacher, who will explain the significant benefits of yoga as it relates to preventing and managing stress, being more energised and feeling physically more grounded. Bob Jacobs, founder of the Society of Complementary Medicine, who will explain how nutrition, lifestyle choices and diet affect our health. In addition, we have a mystery guest who is going to teach us how we can use our voice as a highly effective tool to convey greater ‘presence’.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">For those who are not familiar with Jorgen, he’s the founder of Personal Branding UK, a top-notch Social Media company. What Jorgen doesn’t know about Social Media, really isn’t worth knowing. And for those of you who are not familiar with what I do, I help people to develop an authentic <em>Personal Brand</em>, a brand that represents their values, beliefs and what they stand for. My focus is on what I describe as our <em>Inner Brand and our Outer Brand</em>.

When Steve and I met at a networking event we chatted about the numerous so-called Personal Development experts out there. You know, someone who tells you that if you follow their programme you’ll be able to have a millionaire lifestyle, buy your very own island, in short, have it all. Steve and I deduced that not everyone wants it all. And for some, 'having it all’ is just being happy with what they do have. I’m reminded of a chap I was coaching many years ago who’s ambition was to marry his childhood sweet heart, manage the small bank in his local village and buy a cottage within walking distance of the village. At the time I thought, ‘Is that really all he wants?’ Today that sounds kind of wonderful. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">It’s as if we’ve all been brainwashed into believing that more is better and that more will make us happier. Clearly the last three years have shown us that more is actually less. Research undertaken by Gallup, showed that <em>“Once you get above a basic sustenance level – on average, people in rich countries don’t report being all that much happier than people in lower-income countries”.</em> Furthermore, Gallup researchers found that happiness levels <em>“plateaued when people reached an annual salary of £50,000 or $75.000”. </em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">What does that tell us about the state of the nation, or, indeed our state of mind? It tells us that if we don’t hanker after the latest must-have gadgets, the most up-to-date TV, a state of the art mobile phone, or high fashion clothing items or accessories, we’ll feel less worthy. Moreover, we’ll think we’re missing out. We’ve become overly concerned about what others will think of us if we’re not decked out with the latest accoutrements, those trappings that signal recognition of wealth, or how cool someone is.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">The onslaught from so-called gurus, who tell us we can have everything we’ve ever dreamed of, combined with the media bamboozling us into believing that what we have isn’t enough, and our ‘addiction’ to thinking that more will achieve more happiness, is just plain wrong. It’s as if we don’t know any more what it is that makes us truly happy because our minds are so full of thinking that more happiness will emerge if we just have more.</span> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Perhaps our brains are so crowded with, ‘I’ll feel happier when I get that new car, new designer outfit, tummy tuck, Botox injections, or luxury vacation in the Maldives, we literally don’t have the space to experience what it is that truly makes us happy. It’s as if the place in our minds that could be at peace would be too quiet and we need the constant chatter in order to feel we are in the loop. Whenever I get the urge to want a bigger and better TV, another beautiful antique wrist watch, or unlimited access to whatever I want whenever I want it, I recall an exercise developed by Dr. Martin Seligman, Director of the University Of Pennsylvania Positive Psychology Centre. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Here’s the exercise: <em>Close your eyes, quiet your mind and relax your body, then think of five things that you are grateful for in your life</em>. It’s not a cure- all, however, it’s enough to remind us that we <em>are</em> well off in ways that many others in other parts of the world, would consider to be luxurious. </p></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 332px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542000167087887330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgPXIlR_rrsMkNaJ8Q5siC5uCUqbtqEjr9QQmPyZeZcQM1M1ZQiDi6zHDv-9PDFTvXGrjfJzNte-j9sxMhYt8-78yN-feopv0WnlMKvN1SCmyemrZAFRgjxa9upYfyAOTwRHGl8FYdoy8/s400/Maslow.jpg" /><br /><p>Abraham Maslow's diagram above of the 'Hierachy of Needs' says it all, I think. </p><p> </p>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-32028059926206439982010-10-31T04:35:00.000-07:002010-10-31T04:42:20.437-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><em><strong>Turning Your Facets into Assets</strong></em><br /></div><p> </p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 295px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534173829046973954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi64XLHxoYuhSK3Ya3neXISR-On6QqHmQq4Qn_QOaY29a4Wg0OEP9YXE0eaH-dcFvd1FA7IY6V6XZ1V7Jhcf_IW-L_wxug0D-WzDpFNmPZAwnOsODDobZTAhF69BvhxqBU94D3n1_yddnbB/s400/crown_jewels_blue_diamond.jpg" /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">As a Personal Branding coach, I come across a wide variety of men and women, each from different backgrounds, and varied professions. When I talk about ‘change’, particularly in the context of being more authentic, I often hear people say, <em>“This is</em> <em>who I am, if I change, I won’t be authentic.”</em> However, when I point out each of us is similar to a diamond, multi-faceted and unique, the conversation moves in a different direction. If we think of ourselves as a multi faceted diamond, and consider that some of our facets are due for a polish, we can access change for the better.<br /><br />So many of us only show certain facets of our personality to the outside world. This could stem from self consciousness, conditioning, or because we’re just not prepared, or comfortable disclosing more than we think or feel is necessary. Often, this is an outcome of deciding to conform to cultural norms, peer pressure, or our business environment. In essence, I don’t ask people to change, as such - I suggest that they consider using various facets of their uniqueness to express their true authenticity. And by doing so, as if by osmosis, experience positive changes within themselves. Changes that will further support them to be true to who they are. In many ways, it’s about offering a more expansive and truer version of ourselves to the world.<br /><br />So think not of changing, but spending some time acknowledging and embracing all of your facets - the whole you. And thereby, discover that by shifting from one facet to another, you’re not being inauthentic, in fact, quite the reverse, you are being <em>more</em> authentic. Treat this experience as an opportunity to reveal the jewel in your crown, and by so doing, giving yourself permission to ‘Show Up’.<br /><br /><br /></span></p>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-37935072137070921722010-10-09T04:51:00.000-07:002010-10-09T06:56:24.412-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#336666;"><strong><em>The Intuitive Tailor</em></strong></span><br /></div><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 218px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 339px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526041028244889378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF48007OCfwmXYiLOFKFVxVjIPJ6JlNMDzerjOxPD5HKHDxdUQ3eYKEkUirBa2-1YaB9taqBjWhPsxspCmIAXjBFEe-VkONzSHInRzv5tUAjI8jd5yVgPluHmKkrO0xjy5nfiY2VrEzmMC/s400/pc12-tailor.gif" /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">This blog was inspired by a friend who asked me to help him to purchase a suit. Clothes, fabric, style and design are attached to my DNA, so to speak. The kind of DNA I’m referring to is Design, Nuance and Attractiveness. These three characteristics are what make any clothing item truly desirable. In addition, they can affect how the wearer feels in an item of clothing.<br /><br />When I was a lad I used to visit my father’s tailoring shop every Sunday, which was located smack in the middle of Brick Lane, east London. In those days the street was the epicentre of London Jewry. It was littered with kosher butchers, fabric emporiums, bakeries and a Yiddish theatre. Dad’s shop, Russell Sinclair, named after my middle name and his partner’s son’s middle name, struck a distinctive note where the shop front awnings were occupied by Rosenberg, Levy, Shmulovitch and Bernstein.<br /><br />Dad instinctively knew how to design a pair of trousers that would look great and as importantly, felt great to wear. He intuitively knew how to cut a precise pattern for them and did so with flair and apparent ease. Many years ago I recall walking along Kings Road, Chelsea, wearing a pair of green gabardine bell bottoms my father made for me. Strangers approached me, asking where I had purchased my trousers. They were that good. Had it not been for the choice of fabric, the cut and fit, they would have been just another pair of ordinary trousers. Whenever I wore them I felt confident, stylish and as if I was just a little special. That’s how well designed clothes can make you feel. They can lift your spirits and buoy your self confidence.<br /><br />Nuance is not something on which our current culture seems to focus, particularly when it comes to fashion and clothing design. However, nuance is critical in any design that is likely to have longevity, be that a building or a suit. One of the dictionary’s synonyms for nuance is “refinement”, a perfect description for the kind of attire I’m referring to. And when one wears clothes that are refined, that’s exactly how we feel - refined. Furthermore, when we act and communicate in a refined fashion, the combination of that inner and outer refinement is a winning formula; it also promotes feelings of greater self esteem.<br /><br />In order for anything to have the word attractiveness attributed to it, it must have eye appeal which is produced primarily by visual stimuli. This is often prompted by a gut feeling - you see something and for reasons you can’t explain, you are drawn to it. On the day I helped my friend to buy a suit my eye was taken by a single sleeve that hung in the middle of about a dozen others. The way the fabric of the sleeve almost glistened, its iridescence, drew me to it. The sleeve draped softly the way quality fabrics tend to, that’s when I knew that my friend would look great in it and feel great wearing it. And as soon as he tried the jacket on and felt the soft fabric slip over his shoulders, he smiled. When he looked at the jacket in the mirror, his smile widened, he stood straighter, held his head higher and we both knew he’d found his suit. It was as if the DNA of the suit matched his DNA.<br />Here’s how you can find a good DNA match:<br /><br /><em>Design</em>:<br /><br />- Look for simplicity – less-is-more.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">- Avoid additional ‘design features’, such as zips that don’t work or additional buttons that have no practical use. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">- If you don’t feel you have an eye for clothes design, find something else that resonates with you visually and use those elements to inform your clothing choices.<br /><br /><em>Nuance:<br /></em><br />- If any clothing item you try on says more about the clothing than about you, think again.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">- If you decide to enlist the help of a Personal Shopper, be sure she or he feels, looks and sounds right for you.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">- If the item looks as though it’s ‘of the moment’ or trendy, know that it won’t have longevity.<br /><br />Attractiveness:<br /><br />- If you feel as though you are more attractive when you try on a new clothing item, it’s an indication that you are making a good choice.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">- When your eye is almost magnetically drawn to something, acknowledge that and investigate further.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#336666;"><span style="color:#333333;">- Be open to new visual experiences, which at first may seem different, yet are likely to widen your ideas about</span> what</span></span><span style="color:#336666;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> you find visually attractive</span>. </span></p>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-60784306931947839672010-08-21T04:03:00.000-07:002010-11-08T06:39:51.610-08:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"><em>An Authentic Personal Brand</em></span></strong></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507889609639609858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFziKs2ToeYk3vuKCY7qlAc5-noW0EJpvraiC9VxvJYfNleOO54OfoHKky4_6jgK5nuUxJI3b7npmCBu5Jeo_bYakaRWOquHg0XPVMZhdh8iyddQzRKkPIgKnDe5Jux4AqHsvvzMP5pBsp/s400/green+thumb.png" /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">One of the dictionary’s definitions of authenticity is, “Undisputed Credibility”. How good would it be to be known as having undisputed credibility? Well, the good news is that each and every one of us has the wherewithal to achieve that. It’s both a choice and a journey.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Occasionally, when I’m running seminars and workshops, there’s a kind of glazed look that comes over certain members of the group when I mention <em>authenticity</em>. I think it’s because some individuals, particularly in the business world, have received so many mixed messages about authenticity and what it means. I hear people say, ‘Well, it’s me just being me, isn’t it?’ If only it were that simple.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">If we use <em>undisputed credibility</em> as one of the outcomes of being authentic, I think you’ll agree, irrespective of who you are or what you do, being known as credible garners more trust and respect. Moreover, it’s how we learn to trust ourselves. Being someone who has a reputation for being credible is a testament like no other. Knowing we have this reputation helps us to feel more buoyed about ourselves, in fact, it ties into being authentic.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">In order to be authentic, it’s important we acknowledge and honour parts of how we’ve developed over the years; both the positive and the negative. This acknowledgment helps us to recognise aspects of our behaviours and actions that we’d like to enhance, modify or change. If you think about people who strike you as being authentic, it’s likely their traits will be both admirable and inspirational. In essence, if we strive to be someone who’s considered <em>admirable </em>and <em>inspirational</em>, as if by osmosis, authenticity will likely follow. </span><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;">A female client, who’s Personal Brand as a businessperson was considered friendly, helpful and credible, told me she berated one of her Managers publicly for not completing a task on time. This kind of behaviour was completely uncharacteristic for this woman. She said, “I gave him what for, that’s who I am, that was me being authentic.” I suggested that reputationally, that’s not how she’s perceived, and in my opinion, not who she is. I further suggested that her anger and frustration are what caused her to berate this person publicly. In essence, this behaviour wasn’t her being authentic it was who she <em>became</em> when her emotions took over.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">There seems to be some discrepancy between emotion and passion. Passion, which is the way some people describe their emotional outbursts, is exclusive, all about you. However, when we convey passion, it’s inclusive, it’s all about us. You take people with you when you communicate passion; you leave people behind when you allow your emotions to run the show. Just being aware of this encourages us to be more of who we really are.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">To develop and convey an authentic Personal Brand, just be the person you are the most proud of. And at times, when you are not being authentic, which is normal, take a step back, say or do something there and then that strikes a note of authenticity. It’s a perfect opportunity for you to ‘show up’.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Here are eight tips on how to have a more authentic Personal Brand: </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">1. Be conscious of how you’d like others to talk about you</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">2. Develop the ability to dissolve self consciousness</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">3. Be the you you’re most proud of </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">4. Admit your mistakes and learn from them</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">5. Say what you mean and mean what you say</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">6. Build a reputation that truly represents who you are</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">7. Notice times when you’re not being authentic</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">8.

When I was about five years old my parents bought me an exquisite military-style camel-hair overcoat. They made sure that it was matched perfectly with an over-sized Tam O' Shanter-styled cap. In addition, my shoes, haircut, scarf and socks were all carefully thought out for me. We lived in the heart of London's East End, so the locals, who were more used to admiring the attire of the Pearly Kings and Queens, must have thought me a sight for sore eyes as I promenaded like a very young <em>Beau Brummell</em>.<br /><br />Those early days were to inform my life-long relationship with clothes, style, and image. I wasn't old enough to understand how all these seemingly small details, from socks to haircut, choice of fabrics, to the hue of a color, had been embedded within my subconscious. So choosing clothes for my wife, a client, or me became as much a science as it did an art. In my vast retail experience, I found that many businessmen would shy away from spending quality time on their appearance, specifically, their clothes. That kind of chap was my favorite type of customer. I knew how he felt. For a lot of men and women, their less-than-happy relationship with their appearance is often a symptom of conditioning, poor self-image or thinking they just don't have any taste.<br /><br />We all have taste; it's an innate part of who we are. Often, it only emerges when we're helping somebody else choose a clothing item, or when we're selecting a decorative piece for our home. It's as if our "Style Gene" only kicks in when it's not about us personally. To develop taste and a "good eye" for what suits you, begin by focusing on the details. Start with the three F's as your guide: <em>Feel. Fit. Flatter</em>. You will be clearer about what to select and what to reject when it comes to choosing any form of apparel. Be super aware of purchasing clothing items that focus solely on fashion. <em>"Fashion fades, only style remains the same"</em> - Coco Chanel<br /><br />By discovering your Personal Style, who you are on the inside will begin to reveal itself on the outside. There's a kind of completeness we experience when we feel good about the way we look. It's a great self esteem booster and a way of signaling to others that we have a healthy self-confidence and like who we are. Your Personal Style is a visual representation of your Inner and Outer Brands. It's something that will remain with you for a very long time. I think this quote says it all, <em>"Style, neurologically, is the deepest part of one's being, and may be preserved almost to the last, even in dementia." </em>- Oliver Saks<br /><br />Here are a few pointers on how to develop your Personal Style:<br /><br />- You're Unique -- don't try to be a copy of someone else<br /><br />- Trust your instincts when it comes to making choices about where/how to shop, but do some research in advance<br /><br />- Spend quality time developing your Personal Style -- this is mission You. So ensure you have the time and mental space to shop properly<br /><br />- You have 10-seconds to make a positive impression -- make sure you look the part<br /><br />- Choose colors that complement your personality, hair color, skin tone and existing wardrobe. A good way to do that is to have a wardrobe clear out, so you can see what you actually <em>do</em> wear, not what you have<br /><br />- Someone who's able to convey great Personal Style does so with subtlety and grace<br /><br />- Ensure all the details of how you attire yourself are in line with the three F's: <em>Feel.

Emma T. was everything you might imagine, especially if you are a fan, like me. And although she was attired in very ordinary clothes, mussed up hair, and wearing a pair of well-worn sneakers, she looked great. In fact, she came across as someone who is unquestionably authentic.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I recently had coffee with a successful businessperson who I’ve coached over the years. He said that individuals he’s met who convey authenticity, or to use his words, “people who are the real deal”, all have a common trait. He described it as ‘energy behind their eyes’. Emma Thompson has that special energy and so did my late grandmother. Another word that’s oft used to describe this kind of characteristic is charisma. It’s a quality that evokes feelings of well-being in others; a kind of magnetic draw, if you like.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Over the years, I’ve met numerous men and women who hail from a wide variety of arenas. They range from captains of industry, wealthy bankers, movie stars and world-class politicians. I don’t recall many of them having that energy that Grandma Goldman had, or that Emma Thompson has. I don’t believe that this special characteristic is something that’s conscious; rather, it comes from a healthy self belief and the desire to be <em>Living Out Loud</em>. Does anyone remember that movie? It starred Danny De Vito, Queen Latifah and Holly Hunter. We were living in L.A when it came out, and I recall being urged to see it by an L.A film reviewer. He thought the film was right up my street and he was right; I loved it. For me, it brought to life my belief that life is what you make it. And you can make it in any field of your dreams, if you really, really want to. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">In many ways, Grandma Goldman lived out loud. She wore lovely 1940s colourfully-printed silk dresses. I remember the way the soft fabric swished against her hand- made black leather boot, for she was born with a clubfoot. Sparsely spaced, narrow upright metal struts surrounded the boot. And although the boot was well-worn, the leather and the struts glistened as she hopped from one side of the room to another. Her physical handicap never got in the way of her ability to convey energy, be curious, to cook wonderful food and dole out tough love, or what we kids described as "jamma" being in a bad mood. Grandma Goldman was the real deal; you knew exactly where you stood with her. And her unconditional love of us was ever present, no matter what. I still miss her today. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Emma Thompson lives out loud. This woman is an extraordinary actor, prolific writer, raises a family, has a social conscious and supports fourteen Charities and foundations that I’m aware of. And she does all this with grace, humility and without a trace of ego, and always with humour. When Kate and I wrote our first book, we sent the manuscript to Emma and asked for a quote. She responded with a hand written note, saying that because we cited her in our book, she didn’t think it would be appropriate. Of course, she was right. She also enclosed a photograph of her baby daughter, who she described as “baby Buddha” and commented very kindly about our manuscript. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">We can all live out loud authentically. And here are some pointers on how to begin:<br /><br />- Trade in self consciousness for courage<br /><br />- Trust that what you value and hold dear is shared by others<br /><br />- Learn to trust your intuition, it knows more than you think<br /><br />- Know that you can have the life you want<br /><br />- Be the <em>you</em> that you are most proud of - that’s the authentic you<br /><br />- Be alert to the times when you are not being authentic<br /><br /></p></span></span>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-62294086286017408242010-04-27T08:51:00.000-07:002010-04-29T03:23:41.494-07:00<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 216px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464845764252639938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixI9fbIAfMUHV_nvp3vtuD3UvboyNoyj-QMc-mq3ktS1ouorryvCCG5GkX_daCQkik_DZrH9UiOuzJBGYldaFSppGJuTI9NlYtKRdFZNEjU_C8enrpjpqDPFw7JMjkElmn-fvfPUbkvLZJ/s400/abc.jpg" /><span style="font-size:130%;">Read the <strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">A</span>B<span style="color:#ff6666;">C</span></strong>'s of <strong><span style="color:#009900;">Personal</span></strong> <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Branding</span></strong> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/malcolm-levene/the-abcs-of-personal-bran_b_525034.html">here<br /></a></span><div></div>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-53989212112222771092010-03-22T09:42:00.000-07:002010-03-23T10:59:43.267-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinc4WaQ2msVQc3z0EaLRnDAwgHFsO8j9pB_oQ6ULh3fuLmjILIyvyipIgPd_QMTlXJZQok3wdIdMgssAI21Cw9qE0CSAt2SNogQs0WfJbBAcl3LlNo8eQtO22VzY0fNSEQQBTFvaxAU8Tj/s1600-h/napolean+H1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451883242072257970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinc4WaQ2msVQc3z0EaLRnDAwgHFsO8j9pB_oQ6ULh3fuLmjILIyvyipIgPd_QMTlXJZQok3wdIdMgssAI21Cw9qE0CSAt2SNogQs0WfJbBAcl3LlNo8eQtO22VzY0fNSEQQBTFvaxAU8Tj/s400/napolean+H1.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZEpg57wgNPDWJZIDpHhLcega6V2k4ndplfVf1M1ZWoRBRgenyibFqG6nIJXDf1A2w313sSpEJbcdfsxPLktnKmVlm68lHKk0bVNLrpMJZlDqGq8Q6TIqsTl8gDrjAurbGK1iZbmokUPa/s1600-h/Napolean+B+_4549.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451883097007207490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZEpg57wgNPDWJZIDpHhLcega6V2k4ndplfVf1M1ZWoRBRgenyibFqG6nIJXDf1A2w313sSpEJbcdfsxPLktnKmVlm68lHKk0bVNLrpMJZlDqGq8Q6TIqsTl8gDrjAurbGK1iZbmokUPa/s400/Napolean+B+_4549.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">As some of you know, I firmly believe we all have an Inner Brand and an Outer Brand.

Then, almost in the same breath, most of these people tell me they's just finished reading a book that changed <em>their</em> life. This made me feel weird because I'd read the same self-development books, and usually, these were the books I'd recommended to them.<br /><br />I've read numerous books of that ilk and none of them have changed my life, not a bit! Moreover, some aspects of my life became worse! I later discovered that these were my 'No Pain, No Gain' moments. However, I was furious that I seemed to be left out of these positive life-changing events. What had I done wrong? What did I not get?<br /><br />This frustration led me on a journey to taking personal responsibility for my life. I've always believed that there's much more to our lives than material, on-the-surface kinds of pleasures and experiences. In fact, when I was in my early twenties I asked friends questions like, "Why are we here?" and stuff like that. I was considered a bit odd. So much so, a couple of my friends un-friended me because they thought I was far too serious. I was.<br /><br />If I reflect on my reading habits over the last 25 years, the books that have stayed with me and continue to inform my behaviours and attitudes are: <em>The Road Less</em> <em>Travelled</em> by M.Scott Peck, <em>Man's Search for Meaning</em> by Viktor E. Frankl and more recently, <em>A New Earth</em> by Eckhart Tolle - this book really touched a nerve, as did Byron Katie's <em>Loving What Is</em>.<br /><br />And if these writings and others have had any effect on my life, it would be this: When I picked up <em>The Road Less Travelled</em> all those years ago and read a few pages, I felt less alone. Being different, which is how I always felt and was referred to by family and friends, didn't feel so bad after all. These books and others became my friends.<br /><br />It took me many years to figure out that when my sense of balance was shaken, which it seriously was, it was an opportunity for me to re-think my life. So I chose to continue reading so that I could continue to learn. And although I wasn't entirely aware that I was developing more consciouness by learning how to be courageous and more authentic, I clearly was.</span>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-1041025977732375062010-02-09T09:39:00.000-08:002010-02-09T10:57:07.690-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiItnXE1I9Y_zsAL3z-BGCMzoCwj-o6OUiZ32lIQSG8UPxxAwD-s01zGDxHviWNsyXv4cT-YhyphenhyphenO_GZDFoTcJVLeclG_aBcI_itgusi4CU8jBsw4vKAU2ztzAEakS_iIcjPtZEUUt6ICK9ng/s1600-h/tooothy+Blair.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 276px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436319279810979058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiItnXE1I9Y_zsAL3z-BGCMzoCwj-o6OUiZ32lIQSG8UPxxAwD-s01zGDxHviWNsyXv4cT-YhyphenhyphenO_GZDFoTcJVLeclG_aBcI_itgusi4CU8jBsw4vKAU2ztzAEakS_iIcjPtZEUUt6ICK9ng/s400/tooothy+Blair.bmp" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QwivlqAXHUmLVkKVFEFut-0KfOzzZu4qIIkN2Ch90LAKTO1_vuciRCWqyAX4No_4_oKAuXrPWJ89acPju0xLzF7J0PzJ-BDutFcf4SP0oVrYjwNrKQg6vrLPPg-_Ifa3Ey7AePv0PH7u/s1600-h/iBlair+Pointing.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436306054327134082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QwivlqAXHUmLVkKVFEFut-0KfOzzZu4qIIkN2Ch90LAKTO1_vuciRCWqyAX4No_4_oKAuXrPWJ89acPju0xLzF7J0PzJ-BDutFcf4SP0oVrYjwNrKQg6vrLPPg-_Ifa3Ey7AePv0PH7u/s400/iBlair+Pointing.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">To read the article I wrote about Tony Blair's Brand for Business and Politics, please click on the link: </span><a href="http://www.businessandpolitics.org/?p=1645"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.businessandpolitics.org/?p=1645</span></a></span></div></div></div>Malcolm Levenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06926979252245846589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940776223778377320.post-82754444009631335532010-01-09T07:13:00.000-08:002010-01-17T08:51:03.568-08:00<strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#339999;">THE </span><em><span style="color:#990000;">POWER OF ONE’S</span></em> <span style="color:#339999;">PERSONAL BRAND</span> </span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></strong></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><p></span></strong></span></p><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></strong></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425179245799249858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRoHcEKOEWf1gFf5kTH5Me45ClIggeMWjgz3dihBJQWxq0awhIC8IdQfBAT7cdtIfGqynzJHXZ7Kk35HB4NP1rFUOc_K_VPjsOmByqbAzebjpefSncsrqxMyNUVEEufipfqJv-of8kTm3X/s400/authenticity.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#993300;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><em>Self Presentation</em></strong> - <em><strong>The 10 all-important components of how you ‘package’ your Brand - </strong></em><br /></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">1.
