Jim Cathcart selected for 3rd consecutive year as Top 5 Speaker
Each year, Speakers Platform recognizes five speakers within ten popular topic areas. Excellence in speaking is based on: expertise, professionalism, client testimonials, presentation skills and original contribution to the field. The only substantive requirement is that the candidates’ standard keynote presentation fee be under $25,000USD. Once the nominees are chosen, online voters determine the final Top5 honorees.
Over 13,000 votes were received at Speaking.com for the initial 157 nominees- from business leaders, educators, association members and others from around the world. Many voters praised the nominees for having a profoundly positive impact on their lives; a living testament to the far reach and valuable work of all the nominees. Please join us in congratulating your 2012 honorees!
It is a great honor to be recognized in this way and to receive it for three years in a row is a very special honor!

Happy New Year everyone! This is “ReThinking Week” here at Cathcart Institute, a practice we’ve followed since the 1970s. The time between the major holidays is generally slow for other-than-retail businesses so it’s a great time to dream, reflect and analyse.
Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Block out at least one hour each day of an entire week between now and January 31st to use for thinking and rethinking. Make this a vital appointment, don’t just “intend” to do it.
2. Take one category for each day’s thinking, e.g. Health Goals & Physical Habits, Financial Practices, Habits & Goals, or Relationship Patterns, Practices & Goals.
3. Consider everything a “zero-sum” game, in other words, all things are up for reconsideration and possible change. No existing practice goes without being considered for elimination, replacement or increase.
4. Keep written records of what you decide in each area. Keep them all together so that you can review the whole of them at the end of this process.
Your goal here is to take an objective look at your life, your relationships, habit patterns, work habits, life decisions, etc. and make sure you are doing what you truly want to do, not just continuing what you’ve become used to.
5. At the first of the year, start planning which goals you’ll pursue, which practices you’ll stop or change, and develop your action plans to get it done.
No more “resolutions”, just make new Commitments. Don’t “try” to lose weight; instead Commit to Becoming Slender and staying that way (that means embracing new habit patterns.) Last year on Christmas night (2010) I decided to remove 10 excess lbs and become more fit. Within six weeks I had lost the extra fat and all year long I became more fit. Now, one year later, I’m 18 lbs lighter with more muscle mass and greater fitness. Little rules I made for myself helped a lot: like “no more wine at home unless we are entertaining company.” That saved me 200 to 400 calories a day!
Whether it’s your health or wealth or whatever, please give “ReThinking Week” a try. You can change your life…Starting Right Now!!!!!
Give me a call if you’d like some help getting this done. Happy 2012!
This video will show you what the Speaker Hall of Fame Award, the “Council of Peers Award for Excellence” or CPAE is all about. In 1985 I was one of five people so honored. The photo below was taken only a few years ago as I was introducing one of the latest inductees.
