In today’s IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH! , Jack discusses with listeners a malady with which many business owners, executives and professionals are chronically confronted: time management. How many times a day do you say to yourself – or to others - “there’s not enough time!” How often to you find yourself swearing your head off in traffic jams? How many times do you come across to others as abrupt, not available or simply stressed out?
So often, it’s because our perceptions of time, and the manner in which we use time, place us in never-ending roles as victims. The clock ticks at the same rate for everyone. As leaders, we have an obligation to use time in ways that serves us and honors us... Not in the self-destructive ways we have learned over the years. There is no badge for dying early. And all the hoopla about being a “tough, time-urgent executive” is a bunch of garbage. No one wants to work for someone who is chronically obsessed with time.
Are you in battle with the clock? Get off that road to nowhere! Tune it for today’s show!

Today’s IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH! Addresses an issue about which professionals and executives constantly ask in our work/life and career consulting practice areas:
* “What happens when the company asks me to take on incremental accountabilities.... But no one mentions compensation for doing them?”
Jack takes listeners deep into the behavioral and business aspects of this important topic, and provides highly effective steps you can take to ensure you are not begging for money! Also, Jack highlights powerful alternatives to the old fashioned “asking for a raise” question, and demonstrates how listeners can remove fear and anxiety when approaching organizations for additional compensation. Especially in today’s challenging conditions, this edition of IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH! Is a must-hear for business owners, executives and professionals.

In today’s show, Jack shares with listeners the art of “letting go.” He pokes some pretty big holes in theories we were taught about how being tough, cynical, angry executives will get us “ahead.” Today’s show is about leaders taking better care of themselves... And in the process, becoming much more effective in their roles. Jack highlights Julia Rogers Hamrick’s new book, Choosing Easy World: A Guide to Opting Out of Struggle and Strife and Living in the Amazing Realm Where Everything is Easy. In reviewing the book, Jack points out valuable aspects Ms. Hamrick details in the book, and draws critical parallels for business owners, executives and professionals. Today, how much will you elect to struggle against things you wish were not there? How much angst will you demonstrate on things you probably cannot control? How much energy will you waste pushing against people you do not like or outcomes you wish were different? If you see yourself doing any of this, today’s It’s Time for the Truth! Is a must listen!

Today Jack discusses one of the most difficult instances encountered in today’s chaotic workplace: what happens when the boss is a jerk? How can individuals set boundaries when it seems leaders are taking advantage of bad times to keep people working harder... And making them miserable? The answers will surprise you, because setting boundaries is a skill absolutely vital in restoring trust and respect... And is required of both leader and those tasked with following the leader’s example! Stop living in fear! Tune in and find out how you can handle situations you’ve been dreading for too long!

In today’s show, Jack highlights effective strategies professionals and executives can utilize when they are concerned about a potential layoff, or if they find themselves actually facing job loss. Through sharing powerful tools from Resolute Consulting Group’s brand new CD set, Re-Invent Your Career NOW... And Lead It Through Difficult Times, Jack helps listeners eliminate fear and panic when dealing with this difficult topic, and opens pathways to new beginnings.

It used to be a no-no to “consult” while looking for a traditional career situation. Not any more! The key is to obtain superb professional help in assessing whether or not “hanging your own shingle” out there is the best thing to do in today’s economic conditions. Jack provides dynamic insights on this topic, and helps take the fear out of addressing this often-considered option.

POWERFUL INSIGHTS FOR JOB SEEKERS IN TODAY’S DISMAL ECONOMY. Jack pulls key facets of executive career coaching and demonstrates how helpful they are for individuals in transition. This is a must-hear for executives and professionals in transition now, or concerned they may be in a transition at some point in the future.
