The other night I saw an ad by Kohl's Department Store which made me giggle. Kohl's new ad campaign positions them as the Transformation store. Clearly we need a more significant demonstration of real transformation spreading. Yet this is clearly an indication of the increased acceptance of the Transformation meme in the mainstream vernacular. I can remember when I had to explain what transformational work was about.

Once again, perfect timing. Transformation is required by all of us. Kohl's ad campaign is readying the ground for an evolutionary leap. We sure need this now more than ever before.

As with every other major paradigm we've morphed, more and more of us New Sixites want to combine our "good life" with making a significant difference - leaving a future worth living. It's no wonder that more and more celebrities are putting their name to causes and more foundations are being birthed.

This month's principle, Go For Win-Win, is a turn key for creating a greater future. Please read my feature article, Are you a winner or loser? to make sure you are a winner always.

Experience has shown me that what keeps us on the road to the future, personally and professionally, is to have a set of core tenets - Quintessential Principles of GreatnessSM -- that guide us when the going gets rough and when we are in our "zone". My desire is that our monthly exploration of these principles will guide you on your road to a great future.

Greatness Awaits In Everybody's Future. Make It Your Destination.

The secret is that those who are the biggest winners of all are those who live their lives based on the idea that everyone can win together when there is collaboration for the good of all. Win-Lose as an operating principle is deadly…someone always loses. But this is our preferred way of interacting and relating. It certainly is much more familiar to most of us.

So many of us learn post mortem…examining our relationships in retrospect. If only we applied the basic teachings of "Game Theory" we'd save ourselves a lot of heartache, tangible loss and life-long regrets. If we had, we'd be far better choice-makers today.
