In life, often the best changes hide until we make them. The danger lies in complacency, in settling for a state of contentment, believing that everything is “fine.” Little do we know how much better life could truly be if we relinquished our apprehensions and trusted the process of change. You might have no idea how much better you could…
No state is permanent. In my work with teams, it’s very apparent because one team is winning the game, having their best year (so far) and celebrating an abundance of great news several weeks or quarters in a row. At the very same time, sometimes the next day, I’ll work with a team struggling through what feels like an unending…
If you value time, intentionality is an important thing. Being intentional, using your time, resources, and talent by design more often leads to the experiences and results you’re seeking. When you’re not intentional, the space will be filled…and the squirrels arrive.
Accountability, we’re seeking it from those around us. Whether at work or home, when those around you commit and keep their word, it creates ease, flow, results, trust, and connection. I like to call that count-on-ability. Most of us realize that when people are non-committal, wishy washy, tentative, or vague the chain reaction creates challenges, stresses those around you, interrupts…
It’s simple really, yet so few of us do it. Paying attention to all we procrastinate is an opportunity for delegation. Most leaders are poor at delegation, or at the very least, they delegate the minimal amount at the most commonly understood level. What if you could delegate 80% of all you do to others who were amazingly capable of…
In a world filled with uncertainty, it’s remarkable how people often handle bad news with greater resilience. While bad news delivers a direct blow, it also provides clarity and a path forward. Uncertainty, on the other hand, wraps us in a web of unease, breeding anxiety and sleepless nights. Bad news, although painful, invites us to confront reality head-on, fostering…
In my line of work, I have full days spent uplifting those around me. I enjoy it immensely. Creating a safe space for people to say and feel what’s real for them is a gift. Occasionally, when there is too much on my plate coupled with my own insecurities and challenges, it can feel like an overflowing cup, where there’s…
As an entrepreneur, it’s essential to evaluate your purpose. Are you building an asset or a job? The distinction between the two will shape the trajectory of your business and its long-term success. A job-oriented approach often leads to a narrow focus on immediate returns, where your business solely relies on your active involvement. It becomes some form of glorified…
You’re strolling down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly, a thought pops into your head: “we’re all walking billboards, what am I advertising?” Sure, we might not have a brand logo plastered across our foreheads, but our attitudes and image speak volumes about who we are whether our mouths open or not. Think about it. Are you a…
Recently, I was at a meeting where someone shared a powerful truth encapsulated in this simple phrase: “What you tolerate becomes your burden, and your burden becomes what you carry.” It struck me as a profound lesson for those of us striving to create thriving environments. As leaders, we set the tone and define the boundaries within our teams and…
