Make time for the important things.  One of the best ways to use a Clarity Break™ is to clarify what’s important right now; in your business, as a leader and in life.   When you have clarity on the few most important things, it helps you stay focused, zero in on what matters, and simplify what you say… View Article

Making Up For Lost Time #633

Published on July 21, 2021 Written by

We had the pleasure of going to experience live music last weekend. It was an incredible opportunity to remember the sensory pleasure of a driving bass lick pulsing through our bodies, the joy and energy created between the band and audience, and the sheer pleasure of reminiscing all that the music embodies in our lives. … View Article

For all of us who deal with our own doubt subtly and directly, great wisdom is found in this Mel Robbins quote:  “Doubting yourself is normal. Letting it stop you is a choice.”  Remember, every moment is an opportunity to choose.  

Love Is Hard #631

Published on July 19, 2021 Written by

This quote struck me today. It appeared on my Time Hop from six years ago.   Sometimes, the right message finds you on the same day, years later. Thank you for everyone of you who has not jumped ship. I love you.  “The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you’ll see… View Article

Redefining Yourself #630

Published on July 16, 2021 Written by

Let me become a student of what’s possible.   And let me become a student of what’s in the way. As the book says, the obstacle is the way.   The question to ask is, “how do I become the kind of person to expect those results? What will it require of me: in my thinking, in my language, in my learning, and in my behavior so I become who I… View Article

Intentionality #629

Published on July 15, 2021 Written by

Let’s talk about intentionality. It’s fitting when you host a podcast named “Intentional Greatness.”   What does it mean to be intentional and how does it show up in our world?   I’m a pretty disciplined person at this point in my life. When I say that what I mean is, I intend to have certain results, and if I want them, I ask myself, “who do I need to be… View Article

Producer or Consumer #628

Published on July 14, 2021 Written by

Are you a producer or a consumer?  It’s not a permanent assessment. We all fluctuate between the two.   It’s great as a business because we need both. Yet, have you considered this mindset in social situations? I have.  I tend to prefer to be a producer, especially when I’m with friends and family. I want to contribute, seek ways to bring… View Article

Your Standards #627

Published on July 13, 2021 Written by

I missed acknowledging my brother’s birthday on July 4th.   I recognized it on July 5th and felt terrible.  I promptly communicated, and while this is not the biggest error I’ve made, still didn’t feel great.  I was explaining this in a conversation and the other person offered that it was likely he’s forgotten my birthday in the past as well….

The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence #626

Published on July 12, 2021 Written by

When I think of excellence, it means something different for me. In fact, we all define what excellence means differently.  At work, excellence is a core value. In fact, we say it’s the “relentless pursuit of excellence” on our little team. It is the single most defining factor for who we attract and retain.  It’s made hiring more challenging, in fact, we’ve had a hard time finding… View Article

Don’t Drown In Oil #625

Published on July 9, 2021 Written by

Recently, I was at a conference and the speaker shared that data is “the new oil.” Are you drowning in data? While I appreciate our ability to measure more and more through automation, gathering analytics and deciphering what it all means to make better decisions, I also know the biggest and best run companies I… View Article
