About Us
OUR VISION
"To add value and help people to reach their full
potential and ultimate dream"
Everyday whether be in the public, or private world, we are all faced with a series of choices to make, and our responses to these choices will not only effect our present but also our future.
"Leaders will always influence (by choice) the direction of their company"
Any change/transformation needs a visionary leader to set the pace, lead and develop "the team" for victory. Both are necessary - the LEADER needs a team, and the TEAM needs a leader. And when everyone on the team realizes that the goal is more important than the individual role, you'll have a winning team!
INTOUCH’ motivates your business/employees to stay in-touch and on the edge in these challenging times. Our purpose to refresh, encourage, and equip businesses and/or individuals with refreshing insights and ideas as they rise to the challenges in the business/private world.
Our goal is to see individuals and company’s dreams becoming a reality. It's our passion to inspire and share with companies (and individuals) the necessary competencies needed for success in the corporate as well as the private word.
We share ideas (learned the hard way through trial and error) to overcome obstacles faced by businesses and individuals on a daily basis, hindering them to excel - to rise, to surpass or to outshine.
Our teachings will help business/employees/individuals to grasp what is necessary to become that extraordinary company and/or individual!
We truly believe that anyone can benefit from our teachings. Companies in example, can unlock that hidden treasures, talents and potential within each employee (Providing the market with a positive, energizing, career-focused workforce.)
One of our primary aims through our services is the economic and social development, and growth of individuals and businesses worldwide.
In our quest to promote certain transformational ideas, we aim in making a significant contribution to add value in people's lives, as people are and will always be the "most important asset" in businesses.
Through adding value and helping people we are creating sustainable economic growth and personal individual development through professional training. Our seminars will impact on the standard of operations within a company as well as personal lives of individuals.
“Life in the private as well as the corporate world is 10% what happens, and 90% of how we react to it.” "
- Modified from John Maxwell
Our Philosophy
"People are and will always be the most valuable asset of any company" -
If you treat any individual with the necessary respect and dignity and honesty - they'll be motivated to go "that extra mile" for you - but if you don't, they won't!
Investing into their lives through personal development seminars (even if its for the benefit of the team and to enhance productivity) it will still show that you care about them as individuals.

Change your mind
Life is just like golf
"It's not how we begin that matters, but how we choose to end"
- Antionette -
It may be true that life may have thrown you or your company a "curveball " , but life is just like golf...
With every new hole you have a new opportunity.
With every new day (24hrs) - you have a new opportunity
If you want to be successful in golf, you can’t let a previous “bad game” influence your next one. In fact, every “shot” is clean slate, a new opportunity for hidden talents, gifts and greatness to surface!
As a matter of fact, on the golf course when we miss a shot we should say to ourselves: ‘
"I’m grateful that’s in the past now” or “wow I can't believe I did that. That is just not I!” "
Then, we should leave it where it belongs - …in the past. Focusing our mind on the next hole. As we step up to make the next shot, our internal dialogue should be something like:
“" You haven’t seen my best shot yet, it’s on its way”"

Highest Mountain in the World.
Key: Whatever undertaking, begin with a positive end in mind
"Some day I’m going to climb Everest."
This statement was to a friend just before World War II.
Sir Edmund Percival Hillary (20 July 1919 – 11 January 2008), was a New Zealand mountaineer, explorer and philanthropist. On 29 May 1953 at the age of 33, he and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.
"While standing on top of Everest, I looked across the valley, towards the other great peak, Makalu, and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed… it showed me that, even though I was standing on top of the world, it wasn’t the end of everything for me, by any means. I was still looking beyond to other interesting challenges. "
"It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves."
- Edmund Hilary -
"Success is a continious journey of setting predetermined worthwhile goals"
-Tom Hopkins -
True events usually do two things - they inspire us, or warn us
The power of words
Words have creative power. In the Book of Genesis it’s recorded that God spoke the universe into existence.
Unfortunately the Israelites did not understand the power of their negative words in the wilderness. Because they had a wilderness mentality.
They had a negative, unthankful, and complaining mindset, regardless of God’s faithfulness. Their negative mindset (thought-pattern) became their vocabulary. And the result?
They started to talk themselves out of victory, and out of the Promised Land.
And the problem?
The Israelites had a vocabulary problem, they magnified their enemy instead of their God (who had already given the promise of victory to rhem) Their negative words and lack of faith gave birth to their future. Instead of chasing the promise, and pressing into victory, the fear of the enemy paralyzed them, robbing them of God’s best for them.

In the Workplace, Trust is Fragile
By Jeb Blount
Trust in the workplace is fragile. Companies and their leaders have added to the inherent suspicion people carry for their bosses by using the terms trust, teamwork, and transparency as buzz words. They hire consultants, hold special meetings, or do team-building and trust-building exercises. Then everyone goes right back to what they were doing before the feel-good exercise, nothing changes, and skepticism and distrust prevail. What is missing in these often empty exercises is that trust is personal. It is emotional. It is earned. It is a foundation that is built—one brick at a time.
In leadership building, maintaining trust in relationships with your people means providing consistent evidence that you can be trusted. Evidence—not empty buzzwords and slogans. Steven R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, likens building trust to making deposits in an “Emotional Bank Account.” Using this metaphor, Covey explains that you build trust by making regular deposits (consistent evidence that you are trustworthy) in another person’s emotional bank account. As you make deposits, like keeping commitments and delivering on promises, the balance of trust in the account grows. When you fail to honor commitments, renege on promises, make the other person feel unimportant or unappreciated, behave in an unlikeable or inconsistent way, you make withdrawals.
The theory is, by making regular deposits, trust will be maintained, and there will be greater tolerance for your future indiscretions and mistakes—which you will make, because no matter how hard you try you’ll never be perfect. However, like any bank account, when you make too many withdrawals and allow your account balance to get low or become overdrawn, you lose trust and place the relationship in jeopardy.
Though many factors contribute to the trust your people have in you, the important takeaway from this metaphor is that in leadership, trust is something you earn. In Covey’s metaphor, each relationship begins with a neutral balance. I argue that in twenty-first-century business the trust that employees have for managers has deteriorated to such an extent that these relationships always begin in the red. Until trust is established, each party in the relationship is suspicious of the real motivations of the other party. Because of this, you are almost always starting off in a hole with your people. This is why you must lay a foundation of trust with consistent evidence that you can be trusted.
How important is trust? Consider these findings from a 2010 Maritz Research poll (www.greatleadershipbydan.com/2010/04/new-poll-employees-dont-trust-their.html). The study found that employees with a high degree of trust in their leaders were significantly happier, more committed, less likely to leave the company, and looked forward to coming to work more than those who did not trust their leaders. This translates to higher productivity.
· Fifty-eight percent with strong trust in their management were completely satisfied with their job, while only four percent of respondents with weak trust in management cited they were completely satisfied with their job.
· Sixty-three percent of respondents with strong trust in their management would be happy to spend the rest of their career with their present company. This compares to only seven percent of respondents who have weak trust in management.
· Fifty-one percent with strong management trust would invest money in their company if they could versus only six percent of those surveyed with weak management trust.
· Fifty percent of those with strong trust in their management looked forward to coming to work every day while only three percent of respondents with weak management trust looked forward to coming to work.
Trust is the foundation on which your success as a leader rests. Every action, decision, and behavior links back to and directly impacts trust—positively or negatively. Simply put, you will never gain the success you desire without the trust of your people. You will not consistently achieve your business objectives.
Without trust your people will not give you their best work. Without trust, there is no loyalty. People won’t watch your back when the chips are down. The best people will not want to work for you. You will not earn promotions or raises. Without trust, your reputation suffers. The bottom line is no matter how likeable you are or how connected you are, how many wins your people get, or how many nice things you do, you absolutely, positively cannot lead without trust.

Dear Newsletter Subscribers,
Just when you think you've heard it all, along comes someone with a rare and refreshing way of seeing the world around them in a practical way that can truly help folks succeed in life and business. Almost a year ago in Seattle, I met Michael Pink at his third engagement with Get Motivated Seminars, but I had no idea the wealth of wisdom he had for helping folks succeed in business and life until he came to Dallas and inspired our team here at the office. (I took plenty of notes too!)
An Incredible Discovery
Later, over lunch and in subsequent meetings with my son Tom, Michael shared with us an incredible discovery he has made. It could certainly be the planet's most successful business model and it's based on the rainforest! It seemed unbelievable at first but after Michael described how anyone can improve both their effectiveness and their productivity by applying the success secrets he learned in the rainforest, I became a believer! What really surprised me was how the rainforest is the most productive, fruitful and diverse ecosystem on the planet - despite having limited capital (poor topsoil) to work with, and how anyone at any level of business can generate abundance from relative scarcity!
It's not often I have the opportunity to learn something totally new to me, but Michael Pink's adaptation of the truths of the rainforest to success in business is unique and fascinating. I was unprepared for how intricately woven these principles are. His understanding of the rainforest and its application to structuring and conducting business in today's world can benefit business leaders at all levels.
Rapid Growth Without Breaking a Sweat!
I want to strongly encourage you to check out this very insightful and highly practical program we are offering by Michael Pink. In it he shares amazing strategies adapted from the rainforest that helped him triple his business in 90 days, get a full page ad in a leading business magazine without cash and help an unknown business school add $40 million to its endowment in about six months!
It's amazing the difference the right information can make in life. Click here to discover what Michael calls The 7 Wealth Secrets of the Rainforest and see for yourself what a difference it can make in your life. You will be glad you did... I know I am!

Creating a Winning Environment - Part Two
by Dr. John C. Maxwell
The California wildfires of October 2007 were stark reminders of the horror that can be unleashed when the environment turns hostile. The cluster of fires were fanned by the Santa Ana winds which swept westward across the California deserts and out to sea. The hot and dry winds gusted up to 100 mph in places, and, for days, they made firefighting next to impossible.
As evidenced by California's wildfires, when the natural environment goes haywire, everyone living within it suffers. Likewise, when leaders lose control of their environment, everyone within the organization undergoes harm. It's critical for leaders to stay abreast of environmental factors in order to protect a healthy and secure workplace.
