Essentially You

Why I Take a Break, and you should as well

Sometimes, when we love what we do, it's hard to pull away from work long enough to take a holiday. However, breaks are a necessary part of great leadership. When we break with intention, we set the stage for resting, recharging, and rejuvenating. It's the combination of the three R's that tune our minds so that we can rock at work.

Fueling Your Creativity with Constraints

I used to believe constraints were a bad thing and that the end goal was to work yourself into a position at work where you were completely free. However, what I've found is that constraints at work and in life are a good thing. Not only do they force us to think better inside the box, but they also open up a new level of creativity within.

Courage in Failure

For some, failure is devastating, while others seem to bounce back and get better, not bitter. The question has never been if we fail - it's why we fail.  You can use failure as stepping stones to a bright future where you are free to rock your work and love your life. 

Engagement and the Power to Succeed

95% of success begins between the ears. I believe that our thinking should be the ignition point to great achievements in life. Rarely, do we accidentally happen upon success. However, thinking is not enough if you want to rock your work so that you can love your life. It takes more and in this episode I'll discuss the formula to jamming at work.

Rock Your Mindset: Limited to Limitless

In this episode you'll discover a simple technique that will help you move your thinking from limited (at times) to limitless. In my case, it could have saved me about two years if I would have known how to be proactive in checking in with myself and going through the process I share with you today. 

B-YOU...and know your stuff

Steve Martin wisely said, "Be so good they can't ignore you." I believe if we are going to be able to rock our work we need to learn to play to our strengths everyday while knowing our stuff. It's the difference between being someone chasing a passion and someone who is a craftsman. Between being an amateur and a pro. Join me as I unpack what the difference is and the mindset needed to Be-You and know your stuff! 

Taking my football and leaving
