A few months ago I was gifted the book – The Go Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann. I decided that yesterday I would start reading this book, well I got so into it (plus it is a quick read) I was finished by the end of the night.
The Go Giver is based on a story of how a man learns to show up in the world. Through different experiences he is taught the “Trade Secret.” I strongly suggest reading the story but I will share the 5 Laws discussed in the book.
The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success
1. The Law of Value - Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
2. The Law of Compensation - Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
3. The Law of Influence – Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.
4. The Law of Authenticity - The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.
5. The Law of Receptivity - The key to effective giving is stay open to receiving.
How can you apply these principles in your life?

Women in Power – Globe and Mail
I came across this series from the Globe and Mail on Women in Power. It is always interesting to me how there is so much focus on women in leadership, in power and in business.
We are really seeing the success of women in different areas and in all areas of their lives. Women for the first time are holding positions of powers while balancing their personal lives. We have come a long way from when the women was a second class citizen.

It comes a time as an individual or an organization where we are pulled to grow. For an individual the time comes when they are faced with an opportunity that will make them step outside their comfort zone. For an organization, it may come when a key individual stands in their truth and makes a decision to move forward.
How do you feel when you are called to step into truth of what your next steps may be? Are you scared, frightened and worried about what others may say? Yes this happens within organizations as well. Organizations have feelings and identities. Many times clients and relationships are built with a person within the organization and not the organization themselves. If the individual decides to leave they may take a part of the organization with them.
For an individual it is important to remember that everything happens for the best. When are given the opportunity to grow, take a deep breath and remember what your strengths are.
For an organization, the management team must stay in a place of open communication, being pro-active and not reactive. The organization should have plans in place to have that key individual’s relationships be introduced to other people in the organization so that the relationship is with the organization and not the person. It is possible to build relationships with organizations, as long as the culture of the organization is collaborative and community building. What is the culture of your organization like?
Step into the next stage of your life with solid foundations based on trust within yourself.

Group coaching allows us to look at ourselves in a different way as we listen to stories, lessons and questions from others.
Yes, it is true, people show us what we can not see in ourselves sometimes.
This will make you take responsibility for who you are and how you act.
It makes it easier to be who you really are as you see yourself from a third person point of view.
Embrace yourself is a 4-week Tele-call series where you hear about different topics, be lead through meditations and are able to ask questions. If you miss a call, it’s recorded.
Here’s the link to the program coming May 7th! Early Bird is until April 16th with a small investment of $97.

What is it that you notice about this picture? There is lots of people and a little boy dancing as the obvious. What emotion do you see in the boy?
I am seeing alot of joy, passion and celebration. He is having fun.
As I was prepping for this Media launch of the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration Society(VIBC) City of Bhangra festival 2012 (www.cityof bhangra.com), I realized I was having fun with my role in this organization. I have been with VIBC for the last 6 years in various roles from event coordinator to operations to festival production to grant writer to tresaurer to vice-chair. I have grown as a professional and personally from my experience with the organization. The best part is I am only with the organization because I have fun. I feel passion and joy and I meet like-minded individuals.
This is a volunteer role. I used to have a belief that I couldnt have fun and enjoy what I do because life is struggle and work. In the past year with my own business, I know there is space for fun, passion and joy while earning money.
How can you have more fun in your career? Are you having fun now or do you need a change?
