read moreTalking to yourself – The Art of Combatting Negative Self-Talk
By: Darryl Bellamy What people say about you can affect you, but what you say to yourself is even more critical. Listen here for a moment; you have to start (if you’re not already) becoming aware of the thoughts you have and the words you say to and about...
read morePay Yourself First – A Lesson in Sustaining Leaders
By: Kate Steiner I was listening to a radio show this week and they were talking about the concept in personal financial budgeting that first you pay yourself. In budgeting this means that from every paycheck you first put money away into savings. The savings is then...
read moreGifts Grow In Dark Places

read moreGet the Job AND the Date with This Skill
By: Josh Rivedal As a relationship expert, I talk about sex and dating a LOT – on TV, in person, on Instagram, and pretty much anywhere people will listen. When I began speaking at corporations, many organizers were afraid to have me – they thought my programs on...
read moreIf You’re Going Through Hell, Keep Going
By: Josh Rivedal When going through difficult times—changing majors, a breakup, a death, an ugly misunderstanding between friends, getting locked out of your IG account—it can be incredibly hard to push through. It’s much easier to give up, or bitch and moan for a...
read moreWant to Love Recruitment? It’s Time to Start Stacking the Deck
