SITUATION QUESTION
-------------------------------------

Do you want better results this year than last? Now that the first two months of the new year have almost past, have you followed through on your good intentions?

---------------------
SOLUTIONS
---------------------

Life happens on and off the job and good intentions often fall by the wayside about now. Some people call them resolutions and others call them thoughtful intentions, but if you keep doing the same things the old way you will keep getting the same old results.

So to accomplish true renewal you need to emphasize innovation, new ways of doing things, reaching out and changing in 2014.

That sounds like a lot to accomplish but it isn’t if you know how to practice “the power of the pause.” Maria Shriver coined that phrase and recently spoke about it at her daughter’s college graduation. She talked about the importance of stopping and evaluating where you are in life and then paying it forward for positive change. Shriver confessed that she had found it hard to learn but felt it was well worth the effort.

Start by becoming more efficient at the jobs you do everyday so you can take the “pause." That could be the only way you will have the time to be innovative and create a plan for change.

Start today, right where you are! What could you be doing more efficiently or delegating to someone else?

Who else working around you needs a helping hand in their renewal? Would it benefit both of you to work together and hold each other accountable for positive results?

Inspire renewal around you and you will be paying it forward to a better future!
