    Burn Out Break Away

    Taking a Break from Burn Out Work burn out is real. So often employers dismiss it and treat it as a weakness in the employee. But nothing could be further from the truth. Let me ask you this question, would you want to have a surgery from a doctor who is exhausted mentally, emotionally or physically? Of course not. Some professions actually do recognize the need to protect their employees from burn out, and offer sabbaticals. But not every profession does this practice. The fact is at some point in our career we will feel exhausted. The stress of life and your career has finally come to a pinnacle. Here comes burn out. You believe you can't quit, but at the same time you don't have the same effectiveness or efficiency to do your job. Burn out is looming, what do you do? On this episode of A New Direction, marketing executive and entrepreneur and executive coach Laura Nguyen joins us to talk about how to take a break from your burn-out, save your life, and still have a career. Laura Nguyen's book, "Career Break Compass: Navigating Your Path to a Balanced Life Through Intentional Time Off" comes out November 12th. The book is so insightful, and full of the research that Laura Nguyen has conducted.  If you ever thought that "burn out" wasn't real, or only for the weak...think again. Career Break Compass takes us on a journey to understand what burn out really is, the symptoms, and how we respond to it. Laura then takes us further along by helping us understand that we are not helpless, we have choices, they may be tough choices, but we can take a break. Career Break Compass gives us the step-by-step process to negotiate a break from work, how to plan your break, structuring your break and getting back to work after the break. This is one of those books that if you are struggling with burn out will help you get to the other side.  Truly a must lead for those struggling and for leaders for prevention.

    5 Conversations That Will Change You and Your Business

    5 Conversations That Will Change You We all say, "communication is important." The problem is, we still do not communicate all that effectively. If we did, our personal and professional relationships would be so much more effective and efficient. What is the biggest problem with our communication?  It is ourselves. We either do not have the right conversations, do not focus on the right part of the conversations, or we will not have the hard or difficult conversations. What is more we are often times hypocritical.  We think one thing and say another.  We make judgements without full knowledge.  We make assumptions about the other person. When you think about the conversations you have at home or at work, your thoughts are often not matching your words. You are not saying what you really mean... And hence a conversation was had, but there are no results. And our conversations should bring both alignment and change. How do we change that? Fortunately for all of us, Best Selling Author Douglas Squirrel joins us on A New Direction to talk help us with the 5 Conversations we need to have for real change. From his book "Agile Conversations". Douglas Squirrel's book, "Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture" is absolutely one of the best books on conversation you will read. Agile Conversations is not for the faint of heart.  In fact, I will tell you this book is going to require you to do work.  And the work starts with you.  It is emotional work.  And it is not easy. This book lays out a complete and comprehensive strategy that if you will follow it, practice it, and continue to practice will change every conversation you have both personally and professionally. If you follow the guidelines and the outlines in a href="https://www.amazon.com/Agile-Conversations-Transform-Your-Culture/dp/1942788975/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=1332608911178290&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pfz9L9f1RvKOx7-cjfUDhYHdopwYP23kO-ND_v0oSaM0EBIHdzQAyiG9zINvRdg1xjkdmbIwEE_WEGuFZhhr_qThEJaQmsssYGzE27MaB4R20fdfZAIrjuwbloIzDCCaOXEore8sC8CgIYs1bg6O_km6LFZ1xN4e3dG-ykzrc3Yi3kKUDAd-p-JEE644OKoNVRBuElslSLwlvU4qoQpLjnAv2hloyhRbH0_AXn3vGRY.-DjiUAbju9f_1V0lbUm0_T0FTUN12nMRv0O7lhg_kJ4&...

    Does Your Business Feel Like a Prison?

    Can Your Business Run without You? As I am writing this, I had just finished talking to an entrepreneur/business owner who said, "I've got too much on me... And only I can do it." So often, the very thing that they created for freedom from having to work for someone else becomes the very thing the imprisons you. Because you have become the very center of your business, everything revolves around you. It's all about you. And when that happens, you don't have a business to sell, because it can't run without you. You come to realize that you don't run your business, it runs you. You are no longer working on the business because you're working in it. There must be an answer to grow and be able to expand your business without being so dependent on you. And that is where Best-selling author and U.S. Marine Richard Walsh comes in on this episode of A New Direction for Part 2 of "Escape from Owner's Prison". Richard Walsh book "Escape the Owner's Prison" is a no nonsense read that gets right to the point of practical guidance to help you have a business that does not feel like a prison from the rest of your life. Escape the Owner's Prison is straight talk about hiring, firing, marketing, and more.  However, the point of the book is being able to create the margins you need to be successful in business and have a life. The book takes you through stages of growth and what you need to know to at every stage, so that you don't lose yourself in the prison of your own business. Great book!  Get your copy by clicking Escape the Owner's Prison.

    Change: How to Lead It and How to Manage It

    Leading Change in Your Business or Organization Change is inevitable. It's one of the guarantees we have in life. Even in our businesses and organizations, we must deal with change. The fact is no one likes change. We have a built-in mechanism to resist it. On some level, change violates our sense of comfort and freedom. If you are in leadership, what can you do to help make the change in your organization smoother? How can you help make change not so overwhelming? In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling author Mindy Vail joins us to talk about her groundbreaking book on leading change..."The Mindshift Effect". Get your pen and pencils out and get ready to take notes it's going to be a practical lesson in leading change. Mindy Vail's book, "The MindShift Effect: Where Change Management is Redefined and Leadership is Refined" is a practical guide and toolkit for leading change in any organization of any size. Mindy leads in the Introduction of the book by explaining that to this point much of the work on Leading and Managing Change is very academic and there is a need to understand these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. She accomplishes this brilliantly in The Mindshift Effect, as she takes concepts and theories and explains them in terms that will help any leader at any level be able to better manage the change in the organization. The fact is that change is inevitable, and you as a leader need to deal with change, but your people will be resistant to change because it is what our brain naturally does.  Hence, overcoming that for your organization becomes the challenge. Mindy Vail, gives you specific ideas and tools that you can use that help you be a more transparent and authentic leader that will help your people adjust to change more quickly. The Mindshift Effect one of those books you will want to keep on your bookshelf and refer to time and time again.  The information is invaluable and what is more you will be able to use it immediately.
