Looking for a Little Peace of Mind... "Listen to the Quiet"
Mark Goulston Posted on Friday, February 14, 2014 at 8:58PM 
The first step to finding peace of mind is to find peace in your mind
I was inspired to write this after I just listened to an interview by Piers Morgan with Bono whose song, "Ordinary Love," the "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" anthem has been nominated for an Oscar. A few things struck me about the interview. First, the admiration and respect that Bono has for Nelson Mandela; second, that there seems to be dearth of leaders to fill the void left by him; third, Bono's talking about how he's never completely found "peace of mind," but he has at least come to peace about not having peace of mind.

So how so you cause people to be "thirsty" to become better listeners?

A tool, my kingdom for a tool
Mark Goulston Posted on Sunday, February 2, 2014 at 2:40PM 
People who resist new programs because they appear to require a lot of effort, brain power and behavior out of their competence, confidence and comfort zone will be more open to an easily usable and disruptive tool that immediately produces positive results.
Why?

Calling All Consultants! How Sticky Are You?
Mark Goulston Posted on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 9:50AM 
If a consulting firm comes up with a solution to a problem in the desert and nobody cares about it, does it make a difference... and does the company that hired it renew or decide "to go in a different direction"?
Q: How often at the end of a consulting contract or after a client company has used you for a year, do they say, "Our only regret is that we didn't hire you five years ago. What other capabilities do you have and how scalable are you because going forward we want to use you extensively and immediately at many levels and in many departments of our company?"
