Tips for Parents….

Tish Tisherman — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 21:24:08 +0000

Abuse comes in many forms – physical, sexual and verbal/emotional. Do research before talking to your teen so you can provide correct and helpful information. Admit if you don’t know the answer to a question – It will build trust

It is never too early to talk to your teen about healthy relationships. Even if you don’t think your teen is dating, having these conversations is one of the most important steps you can take to help prevent dating abuse.

Talk to your teen about what type of information they are sharing online. Ask them to make their profile “private” so only approved people can see it.

Let your teen know that even if they have done something with someone many times before, they always have the right to say NO. It is never okay for their partner to threaten them or make them feel guilty.

Be supportive and understanding. Stress that you are on their side. Provide non-judgmental support so that they know they can come to you for help if their relationship becomes unhealthy.

With so many avenues for communications available at a teenager’s fingertips, it’s important to remind teens that boundaries are perfectly acceptable. A relationship cannot be built on trust or respect if someone’s partner is watching their every move and constantly checking up on them.

Our Journey

Tish Tisherman — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:14:02 +0000

Our journey of life is about progress, not perfection. It’s not about doing one thing 100% better – it’s a matter of doing 100 things, 1% better each day. Progress is evolutionary not revolutionary, and most days we measure our progress in inches, not miles. What matters most is showing up for your life whether you feel like it or not. Ask yourself, “What two or three little things can I do today that would move me forward?” You’ll be amazed at how much distance you can cover by taking it in increments. The little things add up; the inches turn to miles; and we string together our efforts like so many pearls. Before long, look what you have – a whole strand!

The Heart of our Teachers!

I am constantly amazed by our teachers. Our childrens lives are affected each and every day by these fabulous individuals who are dedicated to their lives and futures. Stop and take just a few moments to watch this video and remind ourselves of what happens after the bell rings!

The Heart of a Teacher

Success –

Tish Tisherman — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:45:26 +0000

I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

“To laugh often and much

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded”

Honor our Teachers!

Tish Tisherman — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:10:09 +0000

Aside from parents, who makes the biggest impact on our children? Their teachers! Bless these men and women who dedicate themselves to the growth and development of tomorrow’s future leaders. Take a few minutes and view this video. Then do something special to acknowledge those amazing men and women!

Making a difference in the life of children…..

Tish Tisherman — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:16:33 +0000

I’ve been working with children (mostly teenagers) for lots of years. Encouragement to our youth seems to be something that is needed and unfortunately with today’s economy, seems to be lacking. At a recent Chamber Board meeting, I listened to a proposal from our local school district Superintendent as he explained how many teachers will receive pink slips, what courses will be cut, and how class sizes will increase. A parcel tax was proposed and passed for endorsement almost unanimously for a special election by mail in May. A temporary “fix” for now.

So – what else are we going to do about the lack of education to the future leadership of our country? I’m proud to be a part of Rotary International who puts great emphasis on literacy. As this week is “Literacy Week”, many of us have found our way to local elementary schools to “read to the students”. It was most satisfying to have those little faces full of attention as they listened to stories about everything from the alphabet to animals. Not only are we lacking in the schools – but how many parents take (or even have) the time to just read with their kids. I can remember back to my own childhood and my parents encouragement to read. I started like most kids with Dr. Seuss, moved on to Nancy Drew, and from there, a continuous library of reading has been a good part of my life and learning experiences. My mind opened up to all kinds of possibilities and dreams. Adventures of story book characters kept me enthralled and as a bi-product improved my vocabulary and imagination.

So, here’s where I encourage you, my readers. Choose a school and volunteer. Get involved. Find alternative learning opportunities. We have a wealth of life experiences to share. So let’s share it. My kids are grown now with kids of their own. They love reading and being read to. My daughter was reading to my granddaughter while still swaddled. Now, at 10 years old, Anya reads voraciously, sometimes 2-3 books at a time.

Don’t wait for a week especially created to “read to our youth”. They need us now! And that’s just the beginning…..

Want to design a joyful 2010? Here’s a couple of tips….

I am thrilled to have a wonderful friend and colleague like Michele Lando! I often refer to her as “the most articulate person I have ever met”! She is an expert in so many areas, and has helped me numerous times with my branding and communications. So, I am most excited to share with all of you her latest article on getting a head start on 2010! I know we’re all caught up in the holidays, but remember 2010 is only a few weeks away. No matter if you’re a student or adult, these handy hints are for all of us! Tish

After the decorations, celebrations and communion with family and friends, Monday morning will reappear.

My holiday gift to each of you: a few tips from the IndiBrand™ Individual Branding Workshop series.

Even in this economy. There is much to be grateful for:

The future is the present moving forward constantly. This means that whatever you envision for your future is being impacted by your choices right now—this very minute—and the next, and the next, and the next.

The future is connected to your present (which has just this instant become your past). As you consider what you want 2010 to be like for you, engage all of your senses. What do you want it to smell like? Taste like? Look like? Sound like? And feel like? The more visceral your imagination of your future, the more real it becomes and the easier it is to make choices in this instant and the next that truly support your goals for your future!

When I am considering my future I make sure I am specific and engage each of my senses across multiple areas of my life. Like good marketing, the more targeted I am in my focus on each area of my life, the more impactful my connection to it is! The more likely I will actually create it, and the more joy I experience in all areas of my life as a result. Following are some of the focus areas for my future. What are yours?

•	Social: Relationships with family, friends, organizations
•	Spiritual: Practicing faith, prayer, self-exploration and development, awareness of others.
•	Romance: Husband, travel, celebrations
•	Creative: Writing, music, ideation
•	Health: Exercise, yoga, quiet time, food prep, breathing
•	Professional: Contribution, self-growth, mentoring, learning
•	Financial: Abundance, philanthropy, saving, planning, insurances, spending
•	Play: Silliness, laughter, light-heartedness, outings, new experiences

There is always room for changing one’s vision. Don’t let your fear of commitment or your belief that you cannot control what the future holds, or anything else, get in your way. It’s the distinction between making choices that lead to something that fulfills you or not.

Thought for the week 11/16/09

The Power to Withdraw: Allows us to go deep inside and find peace, no matter what is happening around us.

Life is a classroom….

Tish Tisherman — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 17:23:23 +0000

Looking back over my life, remembering various leaders, teachers and coaches I’ve worked with, I think about which one could be the “one” who has had the most influence on me. Many of us long to find a teacher, mentor or guru. We may feel unsure of how to proceed on our life’s journey without one, or we may long for someone who has attained a higher level of insight to lead the way for us. The good news is that the greatest teacher you could ever want is always with you—that is your life.

Life is a classroom. When we are open to receiving wisdom from the people and situations we encounter every day, let’s recognize how much they teach us when we are open to receiving their wisdom. How about the lessons we learn about the things we don’t want to do. Situations that occur in our lives, from the smallest and most insignificant to the largest and most important, have the ability to teach us exactly what we need to learn at any given time. A friend and associate of mine came up with what we call the “6 C’s”. Commitment, Conviction, Consistency, Courage, Confidence, and Connected. Pay close attention to these things as they occur in the classroom that is your life. Stop and think about each of these words and how they might guide your day-to-day lifestyle. Are you committed to whatever you are doing right now, today, tomorrow or even next year? Do you have conviction in your beliefs? Are you consistent with your actions and words? Do you have the courage and confidence to take the necessary action to accomplish your goals? Are you connected to your life and your path?

I’ve found that affirmations can help me to remember this perfect teacher each day with a few simple words. Affirmations are a powerful tool and when consistently utilized can make a huge difference in your mindset and therefore your life:

I acknowledge and honor the teacher that is my life.

I am wise enough to recognize the teachers and lessons that I encounter today.

I am open to the wisdom I receive.

I appreciate what life is teaching me today.

I trust my intuition on the nature of the lesson at hand.

Guess what – Your life has all the answers. Your life is a movie and the cool thing is; it is written only up until today. Visualize the end. You get to finish the movie however you choose. So, recognize that your thoughts lead to your feelings, which lead to your actions which create your results.

Start today on the completion of your movie.
