A New Direction

Ralph Peterson

It is has happened to most all of us. You start your job so excited. You work like crazy to impress your boss...and then something happens. The intensity is gone. The desire to put forth the effort wains. Then there are those types of industries, oh, let's say housekeeping where many people are not excited to do their job. What do you do? If you were the manager what would you do?

Managing

Welcome back to A New Direction Ralph Peterson. Ralph has been there, he has managed one of the most non-desirable industries, namely, housekeeping. He has supervised housekeeping managers, he has owned housekeeping companies and now consults businesses all over the world. Who better to understand how to manage people when they do not want to work. Managing When No One Wants to Work is a delightful, insightful fun read. These are a number of stories that will help you in a variety of situations when it comes to managing when no one wants to work. At first glance you as an employee may be thinking, "Another book on how to fire people"...WRONG! This is a book on how to inspire people back to work. In Managing not work you find that often times the reason why people do not want to work is because of what the manager is doing. OUCH! Ralph's interview will make you laugh and make you think, but most of all it will inspire you to change.

Ora Nadrich

Let me ask you a question. If you were to look at yourself from above would you, or could truly say you are living authentically? Are you truly being who you are? Do you even know who that person is suppose to be? It is so easy in life to lose sight if who we really are. We get so caught up into being what others expect us to be that we do not even know who we are anymore. We get so lost that for some of us we decide to reach for a bottle,sex, or something else to deal with the fact we want to escape from our lives because what we are, is no longer who we are.

Live True

Thought Coach and Author Ora Nadrich joins us on this edition of A New Direction teaching us how to be more authentic by being more mindful based on her book Live True: A Mindfulness Guide to Authenticity. Ora talks us through living in the present, embracing our moments, honesty, compassion, serving others, and yet even for the business person how authenticity leads to trust in your business. There is something for everyone for sure in this episode, and we go deep into your life, thinking, and behavior and how that can help you be he best you yet.
