Extraordinary Teams #524

by Sue Hawkes

An extraordinary team is an ordinary team with an extraordinary commitment. The extra refers to their commitment, not the players.   Relatively speaking, any team can be extraordinary.   To be extraordinary, you must align yourselves, and be resolute in your collective commitment. This means a firm determination, shared by all. When push comes to shove, an extraordinary team will always find…

Tired of Things as They Are? #522

by Sue Hawkes

Jim Rohn said “Don’t wish things were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.”  When you’re tired of working so hard looking for a better, simpler, easier way or the next opportunity, flip the switch and consider the quote above.   Tired of things as they are? Wish you were better,…

Opportunity Cost #521

by Sue Hawkes

Opportunity cost. It’s always there.  When you say “YESS!” to something, you say “no” to many others.   Too often, we disregard what the costs actually are.   When you’re overscheduled, there is no space. No space for opportunity, spontaneity, things to go wrong or things to emerge. You’ve planned it all away and it becomes more difficult and chaotic to manage all you’ve committed to.  We must learn…

Impact #520

by Sue Hawkes

Are you aware of the impact you have on others?  I received a lovely acknowledgement through social media from an incredible woman recently. It began with a quick message and evolved into a brief exchange about the profound difference I had made in her life. I’ve not seen her in many years, we rarely exchange “likes” and yet, I have a connection…

Showing People You Care #519

by Sue Hawkes

How do we appreciate people?  With Valentine’s day right around the corner, it’s a great question to ask.   Regardless of our manufactured holidays, most of us offer love and appreciation in the same way we’d like to receive it, which often doesn’t work.   Gary Chapman’s work, The Five Love Languages helps us do better and his work with Dr. Paul White helps us with appreciation in the…

Becoming A Bridge #518

by Sue Hawkes

Meaningful dialog changes outcomes.  It can alter the message and the messenger. Often, we miss the openings and are too busy with our own agenda to hear the other person’s pain, challenge, or the exact message being conveyed because we are triggered (emotionally hijacked) by some part of what’s being said.  My daughters were having a tough conversation between themselves and I was…

When In Doubt #517

by Sue Hawkes

Do you ever seek advice when you already know the answer? You know, the right answer. For YOU, not the right answer for others.  Me too.   There are great questions to ask when people seek you for advice, here are a few:  What do you think?  If you knew the answer, what would it be?  Can you tell me more?  …

Another Turn Around The Sun #516

by Sue Hawkes

Birthdays are funny, they are a wonderful and commemorative way to reflect on what a difference a year can make.  2020 is one for the books for most of us.   Certainly, there have been as many highlights as challenges, yet the older I get, the more the years seem to accelerate and bring the preciousness of time into focus.   As…

Need More Time? #514

by Sue Hawkes

Abundance.   It’s an easy word and concept to grasp. It’s MORE than enough. Dictionary.com describes it as “fullness to overflowing.”  Seems simple enough. Until I think about time. It’s one of the greatest areas to improve relative to my own growth.  There are moments where it seems there is more than enough time, then there are the moments I stress myself efforting to get it all…

Do You Need A Reset? #513

Me too.  Whenever I hit the wall or find life starts to look, sound and feel routine, I know it’s time to check in.  How do I do it?   We’ve created a short course (takes less than an hour and can be split up over several days or weeks) to help you.  If you’re feeling like you’re stuck, in a rut, bored,…
