Leadership Communication: 5 Tips To Engage Employees

Most organizations use tools such as the intranet, emails from the CEO, Town Hall meetings and blogs as a means for the CEO to communicate with employees.

Information about Tina Ferguson, the founder of Tina Ferguson International.

Ever since I can remember I have loved looking out into the world, seeing patterns everywhere, and observing the connections all around us. I would spend hours wondering about how the physical world works, daydreaming about an invisible world I felt all around me. I often drove my mother crazy with all of my wonderings.

As I got a little older, my curiosity turned from the big unknown Universe and began to focus around people. I wanted to know everything about them. I carried around a little black tape recorder loaded with cassette tapes from K-Mart and would ‘interview’ people for hours on end. I seemed to have an unquenchable thirst for what made them tick. I wanted to know about their dreams and how they viewed the world. I asked personal questions. I asked silly questions. I asked serious questions. Each question led me deeper and deeper into who the person was, and I loved seeing the richness of each individual I met.

My personal path as a youth found me wondering about super powers I knew every person carried within them. I often wanted to know when I would discover mine. I knew we all had special powers that could be released only by us as the unique individuals we are. I just didn’t know how to find my own.

Now, I unite all of these to assist and support people to discover themselves and also to tap into the Universal powers available to us all. As I worked with many clients to reveal the truth within, I, too, learned about the truth of who I am. Today, I create programs that help women truly see where they are and move to be all they are meant to be.

Oh, and the special power I always searched for is one I’ve had since I was a very little girl growing up in Fort Worth, Texas. I just didn’t see it for what it is. I have ‘talked to God’ since I was a little girl. I thought everyone did that, so I never thought it was anything special. Now I see how I was created just the way I was meant to be.

Along my path, I learned how to accelerate companies very quickly. I have worked with business owners to align themselves to their businesses, and then *boom* their revenues take off. I enjoy teaching these techniques to those I call “the big hearts of the world” – people who want to be all that they are while contributing to the world in a greater way.

My greatest joy is to celebrate with clients as they discover and start to live their lives as a magical journey. I feel that I bring a unique perspective to clients as I have walked the confused path and also a path of clarity. I can relate to what they are experiencing and guide them gently toward an easier way.

Many people call me an executive coach. Some call me an intuitive coach. A very special client once called me a spiritual guide. That definition feels most dear to my heart and soul. I feel grateful to walk the path with clients as we all learn, laugh and leap together. I believe living a fully-expressed life is our greatest gift to ourselves, to our families, to the world, and to our Creator.

Is the Letter of Intent a Worthless Document?

By Karl Benson

A Letter of Intent (LOI) is a common way to express your intentions to purchase a property without having to write a formal, legal binding contract. The Letter of Intent is presented to a seller in the very preliminary stages of a project. The intentions of a buyer are spelled out clearly and simply so the seller knows exactly how the buyer wants to purchase the property, and under what terms. Essentially a Letter of Intent is to open a dialogue and create a framework for that dialogue between buyers and sellers.

Definition of a Letter of Intent

“A Letter of Intent is basically a written statement expressing the sender’s intention, should certain circumstances arise, to take or forgo some action, like entering into a future agreement with the recipient, or, more generally, carrying out business activities mentioned in the Letter of Intent.”

I often submit a LOI right after I have found a building, quickly analyzed the operating numbers and recognized that a deal could be created. This whole process might be as a short of a time as 30 minutes. I want the seller to recognize me as having a serious interest in the building and not just a ‘tire-kicker”. The sooner he knows he potentially has a viable sale of his property, the sooner he may stop fielding calls and inquiries from others. In other words, his attention will be focused on the dialogue with me.

The letter of intent in the offer process

This Letter of Intent is not a traditional letter. You do not write it and forget it. It is a living document that should be updated and added to on a regular basis throughout the offer process. In the offer and purchase process, the letter of intent tells the property seller that you are interested not only in submitting a proposal to purchase, but in response also receiving all LOI updates and modifications. The LOI is an agreement to agree in the future. Once the Investor and the seller have come to the meeting of the minds via the LOI, a formal Purchase Contract would be written.

If the letter of intent is accepted, then the due diligence period will begin. It will continue until the time agreed upon by both parties in which, at the end of the term, a binding contract is constructed. Terms may change during this time if certain aspects of a property, previously not disclosed, are discovered. For example, there may be soil contamination in which the buyer will not want to purchase the property and will safely option out of the non-binding contract. Or, perhaps the property is in a lot worse condition than originally thought, causing the buyer to negotiate a decreased purchase price.

If not binding is the letter of intent is a worthless document?

A letter of intent is not an offer or a contract. It doesn’t commit you or the seller to the project. In other words, it cannot be enforced. Often in the LOI there is often times, at the bottom or, in the body a paragraph stating and reinforcing the non-binding character of the LOI.

This should be a basic understanding of the nature of the LOI. This language is
usually just re-enforcement inserted to let all who may read that it is not a binding document, nor an agreement to agree in the future, unless specifically written.

The Specific details of due diligence, cash flow and the buyers’ needs, how those terms will be carried out with sellers. In most of the initial presentations, the accommodation of the seller’s financial needs is what is addressed. As a result the focus becomes more about the seller’s than the buyer’s needs.

For this reason, the dialogue is broken off, and the proposed purchase falls by the way side.

When the needs of the buyer and seller are addressed up front, it helps insure a movement to contract. s are spelled out in the . Buyers are often disappointed when their deals die at the LOI stage, with emotion aside, the understanding of the nature of the LOI, it is only a tool to open dialogue to see if an acceptable deal can be created. This allows the buyer to focus on the next viable deal. So in the regard the LOI is a very worthwhile document.

Writing the Letter of Intent

Use a formal letterhead and do not handwrite the letter of intent. A letter of intent must have five basic elements in its content:

1. The Seller’s or the Seller’s Agent’s name
2. The buyer’s name
3. The property address and description
4. Your offer details, which includes:
a. Purchase price
b. Down payment
c. Financing
d. Terms
e. Due diligence conditions
5. Time frame.

The body of the LOI would address the following items;

Terms: We should spell out the offering price, and the specific terms and contingencies of the financing, the down payment, where and what kind of financing to be obtained.

Conditions: We will often use this portion of the LOI to request documentation regarding the performance of the property, such as financials or other items that may aid us in our Due Diligence.

Due diligence time: specific time frame for consummation-typically about 90 to 120 days-or a so-called “drop dead” date by which the deal must be finished and the Buyer should have its due diligence completed, financing in place and ready to close escrow.

Closing Date: The specific date by which you can complete all of the due diligence and arrange for funding and any other clauses or provisions. When a formal contract will be written up if the LOI is approved if elected, a clause that makes the LOI non-binding. State to the seller that you are, interested in being kept informed about any modification related to this property, i.e. the LOI document itself, essentially an invitation for response.

Conclusion: Your signature and a place for the seller’s signature: close the letter formally with “sincerely” or a similar polite expression. Sign your name and title. Be sure to provide correct, complete contact and reference information for future correspondence. Remember to consult your lawyer, Tax advisor and other counsel for further information before entering into the formal contract.

Leadership Development & Talent Management – Coaching – The 8 Principles of Engagement

By Dr. Jim Sellner Ph.D.

1st Coaching Principle – A high Level of Emotional Intelligence is required of the coach so people will know, like, respect, value, risk, and trust her or him. Without a high level of Emotional Intelligence the coach’s attempted guidance will fall on deaf ears and closed minds.

The models – John Wooden, former UCLA basketball coach. Oprah, Phil Jackson, NBA coach. Herb Kelleher, former CEO of Southwest Airlines. Renee Sarata, owner, Reneevations Professional Development, Guy Kawasaki, managing director of Garage Technologies.

2nd – Prescription Without Diagnosis is Coaching Malpractice. Find out what’s going on with the person. Use the Socratic method to flesh out the details.

The Socratic Method — it works best in exploring complexities and uncertainty rather than in eliciting facts.

1. Set down conversational guidelines.
2. Learn to be comfortable with a prolonged silence after asking a question; silence can be productive. Sooner or later, a coach, growing too uncomfortable with the silence, will say something. That will lead to the next opening.
3. Aim to produce an atmosphere of “productive discomfort” in the dialogue. In the best of Socratic dialogues, there can be real tension in the dialogue.
4. Coaches must be open to learning something new, as well as being willing to acknowledge not-knowing or being stuck.
5. Welcome “the totally crazy idea” while discouraging ideas that are really just attempts to escape serious engagement.
6. Emphasize that brief remarks are preferred over lectures. Tell the coach if you are boring yourself over her or his narcissist monologue.
7. Discourage “obsequious deference” to your status as a coach. The fact that you are experienced should not, in a Socratic discussion, give the coach any advantage whatsoever.
8. Find a comfortable space. Vary it from time to time.
9. Always ask the coach at the beginning of the next session, “What did you learn?”, “What came up for you?”, “Is there anything you are confused about?”

3rd – Connect With the Platinum Rule – do onto others as they wish to have done onto them that is in their best interests. Ah, there’s the rub. The skilled coach helps the coach to discover her or his self-destructive behaviors while tapping into the new behaviors that will develop the person sense of self.

4th – Tell short, pithy stories — to engage and to make a point.

5th – Run the Communication Loop — listen using the Covey principle – first seek to understand.

6th – Hold people as able — do not take care of people. We are adults. Develop, yes. Enable, no. That means people are challenged to do what they say they will do, when they say they will do it and let others know if they can’t.

7th – Coaching is About Educating People. Animals get trained, people get educated. The role model here is the Dog Whisperer — Cesar Millan — trains dogs while educating people on how to relate to their dogs.

• Training’s Objective: Memorizing and regurgitating a certain way of doing things without question.
• Education’s Objective: Guiding, sometimes showing people how to find their own answers in a process of self-discovery and self-exploration.

8th – Coaching & being coached is a voluntary, participatory sport. The coach volunteers his or her time and wisdom with an attitude of no attachment to the outcome.

The assumption is that, as Marshall Goldsmith says,

“There is nothing wrong with you, that’s what right with you can’t fix.” Plus the coach follows nanny McPhee’s ethic, “When you need me, but don’t want me, I’ll be there. When you want me, but don’t need me, I’ll be gone.”

The coach engages in the relationship with a view to improving one’s self. The most intelligent and ambitious of coaches will have difficulty staying with the process because of their impatient, results-oriented attitude. Sometimes an engagement contract is required to keep them in the conversation.
