What does someone mean when they talk about doing something on “my own terms?” 

Have you made a decision to live life on “my own terms?”

Is living on “my own terms” something others around you take seriously?

Defining a goal is the first step in achieving it.  “My own terms” is vague enough for you to give it your own personal meaning, as is intended.  But how do you get there?  Buy an island?  Become a hermit?  Live as a lone adventurer beholden to no one?  While romantic, the notion of achieving self-actualization by extricating yourself from humanity isn’t reality for most.  In fact, achieving the things you need and want is very much dependent on the people and world around you, and how you interact with them and it.

As a communication strategist, I put my skills in sales, marketing, and persuasive communication to work everyday to achieve personal and business goals.  As a conflict coach and trained mediator, I help others see ways to solve their problems.  In all cases, success lies in getting past a battle of two options.  Success requires new ways of thinking to find a way to get what you need by serving others to offer something they want.  That means an effective mix of dialogue, strategy, and creative problem solving that achieves results.  I call it C.P.R.–Communication.  Persuasion.  Resolution.

This blog is dedicated to creative uses of C.P.R. as a means of both instruction and encouragement.  Through free resources and compelling anecdotes, soon you’ll vow to do things on “my own terms.”  This is also a community as well as a resource, where you are encouraged to respond to postings and exchange ideas.  Please sign up for the free newsletter above for updates to this site as well as special content that only subscribers will recieve.  Why so much for free?  Because when you need specialized expertise with communication and conflict strategy, you’ll know who to call!
