Essentially You

We are what we trust.

It breaks my heart when an aspiring leader can't learn to trust. Sure, life can throw us lemons, but the trick is learning to fight for trust and make our work-life better by trusting others. Learn four key ways to accomplish this at work and in life. 

It Begins With You

It all begins with you. When we can focus on and foster a healthy culture around us, we significantly improve our odds of success at work and in life. How we manage culture at work and in life can lead to advancement, happiness, and engagement. 

Builder or a Wrecker

In life, we have a choice will we be a builder or a wrecker? You see, I believe it's easy to tear things down, cause drama and seek to leave a wake of relational destruction. On the other hand, it takes courage to build people up. To stand in the gap, truly listen, and learn from one another. Builder or wrecker, the choice is yours. 

Befriending No and Making Progress

It's how we deal with rejection that often creates the next opportunity. Life is about energy, and keeping it on your side is essential. When grappling with the no's of life, a few simple mind techniques can make all the difference in getting to the next yes in life.

Coach Thy Self

I believe every one of us should have a coach. As a coach, I've witnessed the process bring out the very best in others. However, the goal of coaching is to set people free to coach themselves. In this episode, you'll learn how to get going and gain momentum by applying the coaching mindset.

Keep on Living

One thing is for sure. There's a lot of change happening all around. Perhaps now more than ever, we need to learn how to keep on living even when the times we live in seem broken. Here are a few ideas to help you keep keeping on. 

Relationships are Gold

When it comes to flourishing at work, relationships are gold. Often, it's not our talent, skills, and strengths that drive momentum. It is how well we connect with and serve others.  If you want to win a championship, it is best to build a team that believes.  

Overcoming the Eeyore Inside

Understanding our pessimistic nature is essential. Pessimism, or what I call the Eeyore syndrome from A.A. Milne's classic stories of Winnie the Pooh, is critical to finding internal balance. Pessimism can be helpful; however, it can also get in the way of progress. 

Intelligence and Having Fun at Work

Someone once said creativity is intelligence having fun. I believe that is true. When we can be creative in our work, the door of possibility opens wide. Learn how and then get out there and have some fun.
