One of the keys to self improvement in life from a personal and societal perspective is your commitment to yourself. According to transformational coach and fitness enthusiast Philip James:

“I am a True believer that we all are the authors of our life and its up to us to write the greatest story ever told! I’m 35 years young married to my beautiful wife and we have a 2 1/2 year old son together. Most people live an ordinary life due to lack of leaders speaking on possibility, creation and truly living it! We are a thriving Family unit because of brutal honesty and truth. I started my initial career at 19 as a hair stylist working in Beverly Hills CA and New York ...working with celebrities , fashion moguls , Television and Film ( through this I met some of the top people, in their respected industry's sharing sometimes hours , gaining insight and perspective into their personal life realizing more often than not they were experiencing outside pleasure without internal love ) making them feel good about their hair was temporary and the outside validation would fade fast , something I experienced all too often . It wasn't until my wife and I had our son that I realized I was pleasure seeking to escape my current reality as often as I could diving into alcohol and other vices. I hit a hard reality with truth and realized I needed to be more for my wife, son and people, around me. There is a need right now for men and husbands to take accountability to live a purposeful life over a pleasure seeking life. It all starts within; our life is a mirror and not a window. How we view ourselves is how we view the world, and we must be a net positive if we are to see real change in the world. The real change is our daily habits Mindset, Fitness and Nutrition. It's changed my relationship with life, my family, my son and loved ones. We are the most connected in love family we know and I want others to experience this feeling too. My mission is to see people WIN at LIFE, that we are all powerful beyond measure and we are one decision away from changing the trajectory of our family tree.” He joined me this week to tell me more.

The Role of Love with: Paul Zolman

You wouldn’t get any arguments from me if you chose to live a life filled with love. Often times it can help us to heal divisions, repair fractured relationships and turn the page and start a new chapter. Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love?

“My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.” He joined me this week to tell me more.

Anne Donovan: “Employee Retention Is a People-First Philosophy”

As a manager if your desire is to be effective you must ask yourself one fundamental question. How much do you value the contributions of those you oversee leading? The answer to this question will determine your longevity as a leader. Business News Daily reports: Additionally, lack of employee engagement in the workplace contributes to retention challenges: 62 percent of employers say they struggle to keep employees engaged and productive.
