Resources
(including Chocolate)

Here are some websites that we like and Muse over quite often!

The Thinking Coach - How to combine integrity and skill? That is a key question in the corporate world! That is what the Thinking Coach specializes in with cutting edge methods that are designed to optimize talent and handle stress through strategic thinking that makes difficult tasks look easy- It is called THE 10 ACTORS and it is simply genius!

What A Great Idea - Have a great idea? Want a great idea? What A Great Idea is a fun and creative (of course!) site that explores ideas as well as providing steps on how to create.

Innovation Tools - Need some resources to get those sparks of creativity going? Innovation Tools catalogs the best resources for business innovation, creativity and brainstorming.

Gotta Getta Coach! Life Coach! - Barry Zweibel, another CPCC just like me, has put together some great articles about coaching and by various coaches. I especially like his article "Are You Ready for a New Coach?" although the other essays there are good as well. And if you are in the market for a coach, but you don't think I'm the right one, give Barry a try.

Chocolate

As you've probably noticed if you've spent more than 5 seconds at Manage Your Muse, I LOVE chocolate. No, I don't love chocolate; I ADORE it! Actually, I don't adore chocolate, I WORSHIP it.... Hmmm, I'm off to get some chocolate.

Here are a few of my favorite chocolate sites. Visit them, if you dare!

Virtual Chocolate - Not only do they offer every kind of chocolate imaginable (and not just your run-of-the-mill chocolate - we're talking vegan chocolate as one of their specialties), but they have cool t-shirts, mousepads, free computer wallpaper, and more. Oh, and the most important thing: they even have a chocolate Muse! See why I like them?

Teuscher Chocolates - These exquisite chocolates will seduce your senses with an array of incomparable flavors and tempting textures. I haven't been able to make it past the champagne truffles.

Moonstruck Chocolate Company - This Portland-based company sells their chocolates on the premise that chocolate isn't just candy, but an experience. Moonstruck delicacies have even been served at the White House. As quoted in O magazine, "I've got four words for you - Bailey's Irish Cream Truffle." Oh my goodness! And the box!! Almost as delicious-looking as the chocolate.

Black Hound New York - Not only does this site offer chocolate in all its sinful forms (frosting, glazes, etc.), but Black Hound offers a complimentary service, which includes an address book, gift reminder service (just so that you don't forget to send yourself some chocolate - and while you're at it - send me some!), and purchase history. Perfect for unique and decadent gift ideas.

Enstrom's Almond Toffee - I love the theme of the website: "Almonds, butter, sugar, and chocolate. Remarkable what four ingredients can accomplish under proper guidance." And of course, they're from Colorado! If you want to stimulate your palate with a buttery, chocolate-y, unique taste sensation, just dive into these awesome toffees!

Fairytale Brownies - the official Brownie of Manage Your Muse. Even the FedEx guy was impressed when he delivered them! Hint: they make great gifts - isn't there a holiday coming up? Don't forget to send your favorite Muse some!
