Quantum Success ThinkingWritten by Mandie Crawford
It sounds simple- right? You are where you THINK you are! And it is simple but do we practice it? Of course we are where we think we are! The question is where do YOU think you are? It’s a principle I talk about all time. Everything we do, we create in our minds before we do anything. The cars we drive, house we live in all began as a thought in someone’s mind. Our minds are incredible tools, machines that are efficient and creative. But did you know that all things we do, even things as simple as tying our shoes, our brain completes before we do them. It may be as simple as your brain replaying tape that tells you how to tie your shoe, that we do not notice playing in background of our consciousness. It is simple. We manifest what we think. How often have you struggled on your journey to reach a goal or a dream? Many of us spend time planning how we will achieve our ‘success’. And we trudge on, keeping our eye on goal, or reward of reaching goal. We make progress, year after year we get closer and closer. However, what we do not realize is that instead of spending so much time concentrating on what is going on around us in each small situation, we need to realize and see that what we want to become we already are. And wherever we want to go, we are already there. “I want to open a chapel where I can perform marriage ceremonies in a non-denominational setting that is serene and beautiful, and reminds people of their creator”, is what my friend told me. We talked for a while about where she wanted to be. Then I looked her right in eye and told her, “You are already there.” She looked at me at first in disbelief. She told me she could see place in her mind, she could smell it, feel breeze outside chapel. There was no doubt she had achieved visualization part. However, visualization is only part of it. What she needed to do, was to involve her belief.

These include increased maternity leave together with introduction of paternity leave, adoption leave and new right to request flexible working. Amidst plethora of information on legal detail of these “family friendly” rights – Derian Keyms takes a moment to consider HR perspective – what “family friendly” measures should employers now take?Information on UK’s new family friendly rights is widely, and freely, available. It’s said that “the devil’s in detail” – well, there’s more than enough legal detail, and in abundance! But what’s lacking is information and guidance for employers on what to do now. How to stay ahead, and how to minimise risk of a claim. Much of my article may seem blindingly obvious – but so are most issues, with advantage of retrospect. So I invite you to join me in a quick rundown of top tips for employers… In a nutshell, these consist of my “Five C’s” - Compliance, Contractual, Clarity, Communication and Consistency: Compliance. Ensure awareness and understanding of what statutory minimum provisions are, together with any collective or workforce agreements that may also govern internal provisions. Contractual. Review existing arrangements and cross check those with individual contractual rights. Revisit “Custom and Practice” – what actually happens as opposed to what you think should happen! Clarity. Try and minimise misunderstanding with use of simple, clear and user friendly language. Ensure defined procedures and processes for employees, managers, HR and payroll – a step-by-step guide.
