Yep, it's true. Almost a month after we analyzed where we are in our life and work, figured out some things we must do differently in 2007, it's a pretty safe bet that:

- We have broken most of our resolutions, or at least considerably watered them down.
- We are falling back into the familiar, but comfortable patterns that we vowed to abandon.
- Among those that report to us, the producers are still producing and the laggards are still lagging.

....AND WE ACCEPT THIS AS NORMAL?


Plan your Spring or Summer executive or organizational retreat now. Just give us a call at 615 370-3587 to discuss with Twyman what you want your organization to accomplish. Together you can plan a retreat/seminar that will combine work and enjoyment to bring about real organizational change.

"Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?" asked Alice.
"That depends on where you want to go," said the cat.
"I don't much care where," said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the cat.

- Alice In Wonderland


....Alice was fortunate. She only had herself to worry about, rather than a large organization depending on her for leadership. YOU don't have that luxury. Even so, Alice sure encountered her share of problems. But then:

"Problems are opportunities in work clothes."
- Henry Kaiser

One of my favorite Mardi gras memories is of a "passed out," or at best, deeply sleeping "Alice" in the French Quarter, holding a sign proclaiming,

"I don't think we are in Kansas anymore, Toto."

....AND NEITHER ARE WE!


Do you have a Board of Trustees, Advisory Committee, Medical Staff, Faculty or other organization where COMMUNICATION, TRUST and LEADERSHIP are necessary for optimal SUCCESS? Let Twyman help you get there. Check out our web site at www.twymantowery.com and give us a call.

....But, if we play it right, this next year should be different, complex, challenging and hopefully rewarding. Why should we permit ourselves to accept the "same old, same old?" But that doesn't mean ditching everything we have.

THE INVARIABLE MARK OF WISDOM IS TO SEE THE MIRACULOUS IN THE COMMON.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wisdom is also looking past stereotypes, prejudices, and closed mindedness and allowing ourselves to view the true potential staring us in the face from places and people we have previously overlooked.

"I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know it's the people that call others weird that are weird."
- Paul McCartney

Decide now to be true to yourself this year - NOT WEIRD!

January Speakers Tip - Never, ever, ever, ever go over your allotted time as a speaker. They won't know what it is that you didn't get to tell them. Only you know, so it's your secret! Or maybe there will be a next time. But there will NOT be a next time if you throw the meeting schedule off kilter, keep someone from making an appointment, or cause the "crew" to miss Happy Hour! So, can it and live to speak again!

Planning a corporate retreat? Need a keynote speaker?
Workshop facilitator? Problem mediation?

Twyman will tailor his presentation to fit the needs of your organization.
