14 Mindsets and Behaviors to Live Your Most Successful Life

We all have different definitions of what a successful life looks like. But there are specific ways of thinking and acting that lead to a more successful life.



So why do people not make these changes if that means a more successful life is in store?



It really comes down to one thing...a resistance to change. Sadly we have all developed patterns of thinking, believing, and behaving that even though they may not be good for us...we are reluctant to change.



In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rand Selig joins us again to dig deeper into the changes that we all can make to live our most successful life.



From his book "Thriving", this is a show that if you will follow Rand's guidance will lead you to the place you dreamed of being.



Rand Selig's book, "Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life" is a complete book into living a truly more successful life.



Thriving! is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive books on how to live a successful life on the market today.



The book covers everything from building your character, to improving your relationship with your self to handling aging and death.



The book also covers how to deal with others, how to manage ourselves and others.  Finding purpose and meaning and so much more!



If you are ready to live a thriving successful life, then you need a copy of Thriving!

The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings

That Build Productivity and Success

How many times have you heard, "we have too many meetings"? How much thought have you given to that statement?



Let me ask you this if the meetings were both personally and professionally meaningful to you, and they were productive would you say the same thing? Probably not.



Then there is the 1:1 meeting. Sadly, when we think about those meetings since they happen typically so infrequently, we often dread them. Because when we are asked to come into the office for a 1:1 it is not usually good news.



What if we changed all that? What if we did more frequent 1:1s that actually were planned. That could be fulfilling, life changing, business changing, and would improve both the employee and the employer?



Well, that is exactly what we are going to dig into on this episode of A New Direction with Organizational Psychologist and Meeting Expert Dr. Steven Rogelberg and his latest book "Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings".



Steven Rogelberg's book, "Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings" is by far one of the best books on how to have successful 1:1 meetings.



This book is for mangers and their direct reports, owners and their employees, C-suite professionals and their employees, consultants, coaches, and anyone else who is trying to improve.



The science behind "Glad We Met" is thorough and puts teeth behind many of the thoughts, words, and phrases we use everyday when it comes to creating meetings that have meaning and move the needle when it comes the people we work with.



The book is not a dry read.  In fact Steven Rogelberg makes "Glad We Met" and enjoyable read with his wit and humor.



The bonus of this book is that Steven provides questions, assessments, and guides to help you make you 1:1 meetings the best that they can be.



Please note that ALL proceeds from "Glad We Met" go to cancer research in support of Steven's sister-in-law.  I personally believe it is a must read!

There's a New ROI in Town and It's Called Return on Individuals

There is a saying in business that goes "You can't manage what you can't measure".



I would also add, "You can't manage what you cannot define".



Are people valuable? Are not your employees people?



And yet the fact is we manage people, but what is their measurement?

What number do you put on an employee that determines if they are valuable or not valuable?



But can you run your business without employees? What's the cost of losing an employee? What's the cost of a great employee to your business?



There is much to be said that "engaged" employees create more profit...but how do we define "engaged" employees?



Then it has been said that "happy" employees are more productive, but this too begs the question...how do we define a "happy" employee?



If we want to measure employee "happiness" or "engagement" we must do it is such away that the average person off the street can come into any office and say, "ah, that's a happy employee" or "that's an engaged employee.



So, it still begs the question...what is the ROI of your employees?



Clearly there is a lot of work to do, and there are some answers we need to try to define.



In this episode of A New Direction Business Valuation Expert and Corporate Financial Executive Dave Bookbinder joins us to take us on a journey of the many experts he has interviewed to help us find the elusive ROI...and help us define these elusive yet important terms.



Return On Individuals



Dave Bookbinder's book, "The NEW ROI: Return on Individuals: Going Behind the Numbers" is a book of interviews that Dave conducted on his show entitled "Behind the Numbers".



The book is an eclectic culmination of different perspectives of quantifying the importance of human capital.



The fact is we all know the people in our business are fundamental to success, but how do we go about measuring that in a way that is clear, standardized and makes sense.



Further how do go about defining operationally terms like "engagement" and "happy" when it comes to employees.



The book really has some strong key themes, such as the importance of culture and it's effect on employees, the impact of leadership on employees, the employee environment, and philosophies from business owners on how to get the most of employees and keep them.



All in all, The New ROI is a very solid book that understands the importance of employee contribution but opens of the door to a ton of questions of how to define it and measure it.



And it is having those thoughts and discussions that make the book very provoking.
