		<title>Neuroplasticity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The power of thought is the power of creation.  Thoughts are not just airy vapors; they are packets of formative energy.  They exert direct effect upon your body, your behavior and even the external world around you.
Your internal environment has power over your external environment the moment you choose to exercise control.  You can alter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mental Creation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every human accomplishment goes through two creations. There comes first a mental creation, the spawning and development of an idea. That idea becomes a blue print and a directive which the body follows to produce the second creation, the physical or behavioral creation.
People rise or fall, limp or leap, cower or conquer, dependent on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discovering the Inner Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Human behavior is the effect: Human thought is the cause. Whatever you do, you do first in your mind. Your mind, the ultimate source of all your actions and reactions, orchestrates every deed, performs every act, authors every word.
We think, and with those thoughts, we create. We create the world we live in. It goes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ownership Spirit &#8211; Testimonial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was the Class President in high school.  I was always one to succeed at whatever I tried.  Sports, academics, business, whatever….  It didn’t matter.  There was nothing I couldn’t do.
I graduated high school in 1990 and went to undergraduate school at UNC Chapel Hill.  My parents were unable to pay for my college, however, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strengthening the Locus of Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just drove to work on a rain-soaked highway.  Slippery surfaces caused traffic to slow.  Or, so I thought at first.  Actually the slippery surface was a condition and what actually caused traffic to slow was the reflexive good sense of the drivers responding to the condition. 
 When we sense or perceive a lack of control, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Employee Engagement – Which side are you on?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most efforts to enhance employee engagement remain focused on the outside—how the organization has to change in order to engage the workforce. Those efforts matter and must continue.
Nevertheless, the fact remains: Employee engagement is an individual responsibility. In the end, it is the inside story that tells the tale. You can provide me the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>What have you done today to improve your thoughts?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just as physical exercise strengthens the body, so also the mind is made stronger through exercise. Daily mental exertion helps make us more fit for the game of life.  Two things to remember: 1) You are the sole selector of your mental subject matter; the decision to leave or to stay with any given topic is entirely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating Confidence Model</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently, a pertinent question surfaced during an Ownership Spirit® seminar I was teaching to a group of leaders. One leader asked, “How do you help people elevate their presets about themselves.”
 
Anyone who is parent, youth advisor, or team leader at work knows the scenario behind the question. We all know people who are under-performing—not because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Study Groups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently received an email from a client, and friend, asking me the following question:
&#8220;What can I do as a leader to keep folks in the &#8220;taking action&#8221; mode?  Having big plans for the future is great, but life is about  &#8220;taking action&#8221; and it is that part that trips us up.  We have positive momentum in place, but we need [...]]]></description>
