You can be an inch from winning but still miles away if you allow emotion to interfere with the last step. So you have to accept: the weather, heat, rain, stops and starts, the line calls, whatever your opponent is giving you, however tired or injured you are. There are so many things that can distract you from taking care of business. Thought for the week: The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not in fighting the old, but on building the new.   Open: An Autobiography

Few people give weekly talks or “presentations” to as many people as Joel Osteen.  His Lakewood Church in Houston attracts 16,000 for each sermon on Sundays.  He reaches millions more on television in more than one hundred countries and he has written six New York Times bestsellers.  His live appearances at places like Yankee Stadium are sold out and he has been called America’s most influential speaker. Whether you are a religious person or not, there is no denying that Osteen is an influential speaker and that he has something to teach anyone who wants to improve his or her public speaking skills.  Here are the 7 keys that make Osteen a popular communicator.

"One of the most overrated thoughts out there is that if you weren't a great player, you can't be a great coach," said Frank Martin, head coach at South Carolina. "It's a big fallacy." Indiana's Head Coach Tom Crean's playing career didn't extend beyond high school ball but that hasn't prevented him from reaching the upper echelon of the coaching ranks. More than 10 years ago, when Crean was at Marquette, a prospect informed the coach that he would be signing elsewhere because he wanted to learn from someone "who had actually played the game. I took it as a slight,"  Crean said. "It motivated me. I told him, 'You do what you want, but when we play you, make sure you pay attention to the double-teams we put in place to keep you from scoring. The kid redshirted his first year and hardly played the year after that. He eventually became a decent player, but we won a lot more against his team than we lost. I think I mad

August 31, 2016 Winston-Salem, NC . The Leadership Publishing Team announced this week that their monthly journal, The Coaching and Leadership Journal   (CLJ) will continue into its 5th year. The Journal's first issue was published in August 2012.

Our journal allows them to get the information they need without having to waste time searching for it. I believe the top people in any profession never stop learning and that is the main objective of this journal--provide coaches and leaders the means to learn without having to waste their valuable time.” The
