Assessing our Behavior

Assessing our Behavior

By: Barbara Provost|June 25, 2014

Soon our country will host a massive party, and everyone’s invited. Every July 4, we Americans shoot off fireworks, barbecue, and revel long after dark. When you think about Independence Day, it’s easy to forget that the actual signing of the Declaration was a very sober affair. Each of those 56 men knew that by […]

What Will Your Legacy Be?

What Will Your Legacy Be?

By: Barbara Provost|June 12, 2014

My husband and I took the kids to St. Louis to watch the Cubs take on the Cards. As games go, that series belongs in the “best quickly forgotten” category. But one memory of that trip will stick with us for years to come: the Gateway Arch. Soaring 630 feet high and stretching just as […]

Overcoming Failures to Achieve Your Goals

Overcoming Failures to Achieve Your Goals

By: Barbara Provost|May 28, 2014

It’s graduation month, and all around us, commencement speakers are sending our youth off with heady advice on how to lead a successful life. J.K. Rowling, as she addressed the graduating class at Harvard one year, chose a different slant. She talked about the benefits of failure. “It is impossible to live without failing at […]

Fresh Perspectives, Knowing When to Quit

Fresh Perspectives, Knowing When to Quit

By: Barbara Provost|May 13, 2014

From the earliest age, around that moment you hit pavement while learning to ride without training wheels, we learn the importance of never quitting. Sports figures, tycoons and politicians have written volumes on the concept of perseverance, all offering advice on how to grit past adversity. One of my favorite quotes comes from Winston Churchill, […]

Training in a Dynamic Environment

Training in a Dynamic Environment

By: Barbara Provost|April 29, 2014

Where I live, coyote sightings are pretty common. “Watch your dog” has become a catch-phrase over the years, as neighbors swap stories about the mangy creatures they spy loping along the prairie trails. In the morning, you sometimes see gory leftovers from a coyote’s late-night  snack. One evening last spring, just before bed, I heard […]

Tools to Implement a Career Change

Tools to Implement a Career Change

By: Barbara Provost|April 15, 2014

Remember that scene in Rocky when he picks up his friend Paulie at the meat locker? Paulie goads him into giving the one-two to a side of beef, and Rocky pummels out his frustration with blood-splattered fists. Sylvester Stallone understood that frustration. He wrote the screenplay for Rocky at age 30 while still working at […]

4 Keys to Self-Renewal

4 Keys to Self-Renewal

By: Barbara Provost|March 20, 2014

Friday brings the first day of spring, and with it, the promise of regrowth and renewal. If you’ve read Stephen R. Covey’s groundbreaking book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, you know the last (and arguably most important) habit is renewal. Have you found the right balance between producing and actually improving your ability […]

Changes in Communication

Changes in Communication

By: Barbara Provost|February 21, 2014

From texting to Twitter, people communicate much differently today than they did just five years ago. Windy business letters and all-company meetings are phasing out fast. Now most prefer their messages pithy, immediate, and typically, onscreen. Getting the Word Out Did you know you can communicate with hundreds of people, instantly, with a relatively low-cost […]
