Mindful Leadership Series Begins with Renowned Executive Coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith Discussing the Transformation of Bono and How to Be Happy by Letting Go of Guilt

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

Ryan E. Yip, Ph.D., a branding strategist and moderator of the Enlightened Leaders Network is pleased to announce an exciting new multimedia series entitled Mindful Leadership that will foster interaction on such topics as academic preparation, character, principles, performance, experience, expression, and influence. It will also explore the impact of self-awareness, empathy, and actualization on leadership effectiveness, enabling those in management to lead an ethical and productive workforce.

Prominent business thinkers will discuss the influence of personal values on career success, individual happiness, and a meaningful life. As former Medtronic CEO and acclaimed author Bill George has stated Leaders who do not take time for introspection and reflection may be vulnerable to being seduced by external rewards, such as power, money, and recognition. Or they may feel a need to appear so perfect to others that they cannot admit vulnerabilities and acknowledge mistakes. George added that some of the recent difficulties of Hewlett-Packard, British Petroleum, CEOs of failed Wall Street firms, and dozens of leaders who failed in the post-Enron era are examples.

The series begins with Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, a world authority in helping successful leaders get even better by achieving positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams.

His book, MOJO, was released in February 2010. It is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal top ten best-seller and the Shanghai Daily #1 business book in China. It is already scheduled to be translated into 14 languages.

In November 2009 Dr. Goldsmith was recognized as one of the fifteen most influential business thinkers in the world in the bi-annual study sponsored by The (London) Times and Forbes. The American Management Association named Marshall as one of 50 great thinkers and leaders who have influenced the field of management over the past 80 years. He is one of only two educators who have won the Institute of Management Studies Lifetime Achievement Award. Major business press acknowledgments include: Businessweek most influential practitioners in the history of leadership development, Wall Street Journal top ten executive educators, Forbes five most-respected executive coaches, Leadership Excellence top five thinkers on leadership, Economic Times (India) top CEO coaches of America, Economist (UK) most credible executive advisors in the new era of business and Fast Company Americas preeminent executive coach.

There is a school of thought in business coaching that believes in strict adherence to a behavior modification model, one that is based on changing a clients reaction to external conditions said Dr. Yip. However, in Marshalls new book Mojo, he states that a persons identity, her self-definition, is one of the building blocks of a positive spirit. During our interview, I first asked him to explain how coaching to change a clients identity is different from coaching to change behavior. Dr. Goldsmith described his talk with Bono, and the evolution of U2 singers identity from rock star to include a humanitarian persona. Later in the interview, Dr. Goldsmith gave his advice on how to be happy and let go of guilt. Marshall used parables to deftly illustrate his insights for releasing the emotional burdens that chain us to habitual patterns and prevent us from experiencing self-acceptance, Dr. Yip stated.

Bay Area Web Designer Marissa Berger Presents Strategies for Building an Effective Website to Business Coach Leaders

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

Marissa Berger, founder of Marissa Berger Interactive (MB/I), a San Francisco Bay Area web design firm, was invited to speak to members of the ActionCOACH California Team, a group of certified executive business coaches, at the organizations annual meeting, which took place on September 26th at the Oakland Courtyard Marriott. Her presentation, A Strategic Approach to Building an Effective Website, was designed to give the business coaches tools to help their clients achieve desired business outcomes by improving their online presence.

ActionCOACH approached me with the idea of teaching the executive coaches how to help their clients make strategic changes to their websites that will drive traffic to the sites, enhance the users experience, and increase brand awareness, said Berger.

The Bay Area web designers presentation focused on three distinct approaches that businesses should consider when creating or redesigning a website:

1) E-Commerce: The online store should load quickly, have a clean layout with intuitive navigation, point the user towards checkout, and use search-engine-friendly code.

2) Portfolio-Based: The website should focus on what makes the company stand out from the competition. The company should clearly explain its services, with samples of its best and most recent work, and include client testimonials.

3) Corporate/Informational: A company can use the information on its website to increase brand awareness, attract new customers, and recruit new team members.

Marissa Berger also discussed a number of specific strategies that should be considered when charting a plan to lead a website towards success. These included:

Traffic Strategies: External links, title tags, meta tags, using external referral sites (Yelp, Google Places), asking for reviews, and multiple online and physical advertising strategies are all ways to drive up search engine rankings and attract visitors.

Conversion Strategies: A number of tools can be used to reach traffic goals, including Google Analytics, A/B testing, long-tail keyword phrases, PPC ads, removing obstacles to conversion, adding videos, and usability testing.

Execution Strategies: A wide range of web design options existsfrom inexpensive DIY templates to fully custom professional creations. Businesses should carefully consider which option is right to achieve their specific goals. Marissa offered insights to help the coaches select the best execution method for their clients.

It was a very eye-opening presentation, said Peter Williamson, Master Licensee for the Northern California chapter of ActionCOACH. It helped us to understand the options available and how to optimize the style of a website so that it matches the type of business.

Attendee Bob Britz added, Making a website isnt enough anymore. Marissas presentation made it clear that with so many options out there, the site needs to be right for both the business and its industry.
