Welcome to the Summer of Excellence. Context will be presenting HOT TIPS this summer,  to make your summer sizzle!
​

Our thought for this week is, my current results tell the truth about where I am investing my current time, money and energy.

One of my favorite tools. It's called scrubbing my space.  So what does that mean?  It means how do I attract more and/or create tangible, measurable results.

I was thinking this week of a quote that Randy Revell, founder of Context International use to say, that really has a lot of meaning for me. What I focus on with great intent is exactly what I create.  

How do I enhance my direct communications in a way that strengthens my relationships with others.

One of the key things Randy Revell said many years ago, is "we all need a lot of help​", and the minute I heard him say "Help" I thought, not me! I'm a rugged individualist.  

One of the favorite tools that I have used is "I do what I say what I'll do, you can count on me, I'm a person who keeps my word".

​To have strong, vibrant, and loving relationships with ourselves and others, we need to invest daily. This means focus every day on adding value to all your relationships. Here are some hot tips:

*  Keep your word
*  Tell others what you appreciate about them
*  Lend support
*  Say thank you
*  Make the hard communications
*  Lead with compassion
*  Be a great active listener

​I think you get the idea.

​The secret is to have 10 times more deposits in your emotional bank accounts than you do withdrawals. That way when you hit a challenge spot, you still have ample emotional capital to keep your relationship on track. Your relationships will be much stronger, more loving, joyful, and easy.​
