Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, yet give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that’s more terrible than dying.” Joan of Arc http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/be-your-own-best-friend-to-achieve-your-goal http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/how-to-be-an-inspiring-leader-at-times-of-change Fri, 23 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Top 5 key points on how to be an inspiring leader at times of change: 1) Decide to be inspiringThink about what inspiring means to you. Is it others wanting to follow you voluntarily, listening to you and feeling motivated to take some action based on your leadership? In times of change, think about how people will be dealing with and reacting to the change and the impact you can have as a leader. If you are a leader, you need to sort out any problems you have with the change in order to be able to help and inspire others with the change. http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/how-to-be-an-inspiring-leader-at-times-of-change http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/leadership-thinking Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000 We often forget the difference between a ‘manager’ and a ‘leader’.

At Go MAD we talk about using high quality questions when helping others with their thinking, but what is a high quality question you might ask? Well, in simple terms, a high quality question is one that generates a high quality answer or thought. http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/coaching-with-high-quality-questions-part-1 http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/does-worrying-get-you-anywhere- Tue, 26 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 The majority of us will have had some worries at some point in our lives. There are some people who seem to worry more than others and are known as ‘born worriers’. In some cases it seems to have become a habit which they feel they have no control over. What might have caused this? Is it a learned behaviour due to their upbringing or is it because they haven’t had helpful role models in this area? http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/does-worrying-get-you-anywhere- http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/turning-problems-into-solutions Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Norman Vincent Peale – How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself so always think positively. I would imagine that the majority of us face problems of varying degrees each day in our work and home life. At work problem solving is a key skill essential for achieving personal or organisational goals and dealing with day to day challenges. http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/turning-problems-into-solutions http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/how-well-do-you-handle-pressure- Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 It is said that job and workplace stress increase in a time of economic crisis and with the “lay offs” and “budget cuts” stress levels are predicted to be growing. This is why it is essential to have the ability to manage stress and pressure in the workplace and can make the difference between the success or failure of a job. The better you are at managing your own stress, the more positively you will affect others around you and the less other peoples stress will negatively affect you. http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/how-well-do-you-handle-pressure- http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/an-inspiration-to-us-all- Mon, 20 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Recently a 15 year old girl named Alice who has terminal cancer posted her ‘bucket list’ on her blog and it inspired an outburst of support throughout the world. http://www.gomadthinking.com/binge_thinking/an-inspiration-to-us-all-
