		<title>Expel the Elephants and 19 other insights to ignite business performance (the summary)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started coaching CEOs and Entrepreneurs more than a decade ago, I expected to see some similar challenges and opportunities amongst them; however, little did I know at the time just how much the same issues, obstacles and opportunities would arise. It doesn’t matter whether or not my business-coaching clients are based in Vancouver, British Columbia, across North America or internationally such as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It doesn’t matter which industry they operate in, their stage of growth, or if they are a company with seven employees or 7,000, the same principles used to ignite business performance apply.

Here is a summary of the 20 top principles that inspire business leaders, motivate employees with the desire to be the best and help CEOs and Entrepreneurs get what they really want now. The complete ebook can be <a href="http://www.coachkevin.com/expel-the-elephants-a-free-ebook/">downloaded here</a> for free.]]></description>

Does email boost or hinder your performance? It all depends on how you use it.
Email offers us countless ways to save time and be more productive, but when we go on “email autopilot” – checking the inbox repeatedly, typing out messages that should be discussed, copying people who are only peripherally involved,<a href="http://www.coachkevin.com/optimizing-email-stay-productive-not-busy/"> <BR>read more</a>]]></description>
