Motivation is the Key to Your Success
- By Yvonne F. Brown
Motivation is the key to any success you want. If you are not properly motivated, you won't have the energy and
mindset to achieve the goals and plans that you have. This is a problem for many people, but it doesn't have to
be one of yours. There are various ways that you can stay motivated throughout your quest for success. Think
of the reasons why you're trying to reach these goals. Is it to look better, feel better, act better, make more
money or some other reason? As long as the outcome is important to you, it will be easier to stay motivated.
If you need help with motivation and planning for your personal and career life, Yvonne Brown can assist you.
She is a mentor, coach and trainer that specializes in business communications, management
communications, motivational meetings, and workplace diversity. She works with individuals, corporations and
associations.
The new year is approaching, what will you do to improve your life's personal and business aspects? Make this
next year the year that starts the rest of your life. Don't live another year in dissatisfaction. Make the right
moves to pave a road to a brighter future today.
DIFFICULT PEOPLE RUINING YOUR DAY?
Here's what you can do about it.
By Yvonne F. Brown
The world is filled with difficult people. They exhibit negative behavior when they feel there's a potential for loss of
love, power, money, respect, time or control. Most difficult people don't want to be this way and often their emotionally
charged behavior may not be caused by you. It could be that you pushed their button without realizing it, or pulled the
trigger on this behavior by something you did or said.
Truth is, if there are no difficult people in your life, you might be the difficult one. Here's what you can do about it.
Use the 3-Pronged Approach.
Be Assertive: The difficult person typically comes from a place of loss. While this may seem contrary to the behavior,
people become difficult when they fear a loss. So pause for a minute, and determine which one it is. Then respond
by saying what you mean, and meaning what you say, without being mean when you say it. That's the assertive
voice. "I heard that as an insult, is that the way you meant it?"
Call them on it: By clarifying their objective during the negative exchange, you determine if what you heard is what
they really meant. An aggressive responsive tone would escalate the issue and put the difficult person in a
defensive mode, thus ending civil communication. A passive-aggressive tone makes you the difficult person as you
try to 'get them back' later. The passive tone causes you to build up resentment and stress which can result in your
blowing up and becoming a difficult person.
Reclaim your personal power: When you stand up for yourself it increases your self-esteem, and you send a
message to the difficult person that you will not tolerate their behavior. The assertive technique helps you to
communicate confidently, clearly, and powerfully.
Remember, you control the exchange by making choices. Master your communications by managing your emotions
and assertively standing up for yourself with difficult people. You may not be able to change them, but you can
control your response to them, instead of being controlled by them.

The Trench Effect™ - Dont let toxic people drain you - End The Pain NOW!
Are you still harboring old hurts and pain from the past? Does it still pain you to think about someone or an event
that happened long ago? Many of us work hard to achieve corporate and life success then when we achieve it we
feel like an imposter and wonder when they will find out who we really are. Sometimes we find ourselves living in the
past and afraid that we can never really have what we truly want in life. There is a secret to leaving this hurt and pain
behind then moving confidently in the direction of your dream.

Here's what people say about our seminars
In our recent seminar you mentioned that you made a new years resolution to listen more. How did you spend a
whole year just listening?
Answer:
As I mentioned in the seminar, listening skills are crucial to good communications but it's easier said than done.
Listening takes concentration and a commitment to quieting the internal noise in our minds while focusing on the
person we are communicating with.
The technique I used was to simply tell people that I am committed to listening as a new year's resolution and
improve the skill. Then rather than doing most of the talking I asked questions and let the other person speak
instead. It helped me to break the habit of interrupting others, and I gave permission to others to point out when I
was speaking more than listening. They were happy to do so and my listening skills did increase.
