Three very different blog carnivals

Three new carnivals included my articles, so I want to mention them here.

Carnival of Anecdotes

Hosted at The Engaging Brand is the Carnival of Anecdotes. Why do we care about Anecdotes?

As a leader you need an array of stories and anecdotes to share with people, to improve your communication skills, to help translate the company’s vision and objectives to your team.

I think that explanation is also really applicable to community leadership. You must tell the story to sell the vision.

I especially liked this Point of View story:

Craig Harper presents Creating Something (spectacular) from Nothing posted at Renovate your life with Craig, saying, “In 1988 I had the idea of setting up a Personal Training centre in Melbourne. There were no commercial PT facilities in this country at the time. It would be Australia’s first appointment-only gym. I was young, had no business experience, no tertiary qualification and not much money. Clearly, a perfect plan.”

Success and Abundant Mindset Carnival

The Success and Abundant Mindset Carnival is hosted at Creating Abundant Lifestyles.

If you are exploring what you really want, I recommend:

And get some great productivity ideas from:

Almomento – 10 Steps to Better Efficiency in Your Day to Day Life posted at BurstCreativity.

And Now….

Personal Growth Carnival

Bryan C. Fleming presents the Personal Growth Carnival.

One article struck me so much that I am going to be writing a post derived from it:

David Weliver presents Checklists for a Successful Life posted at Money Under 30.
