How will you make an impact?
How many of you remember all of your teachers from school? I remember a handful…most of the ones I remember, they were great teachers and they did something or taught me something that has stayed with me still today. Kind of got me thinking about how all of us make an impact on other people’s…

My dad once told me that if my job was to shovel poo (he chose a different word), then to be the best shoveler on the crew. The goal is not to one up the team, but to push the team to new heights. When we work harder, those around us do too. When we…

If you’ve read enough of my posts, I don’t think it is a secret that I’m a firm believer in teaching people so they can grow and be better. Think about how much each of us want to learn every day? “Hey Siri…”, “Let me Google that”, “I bet you can find out how on…

This notion scares me. In so many areas of my life, I know where I want to be in 3, 5, 10 years but am not perfect about executing my plan. Sometimes I see the lack of effort come to fruition in my personal and professional life. I see the thing I ignored all of…

Life is a Pyramid Scheme
For those of us reading this that are a little more “experienced” in life, I’m sure you remember the days of trying to be recruited into some sort of sales experience which you found out was a Pyramid Scheme. Quick summary, somebody recruits you, then you recruit people, the people you recruit then recruit more…

I have never found this to NOT be true. The problem is not typically the other person, it is my ego being closed off to listening with curiosity. I care so much about showing what I know that I fail to listen to what others can teach me. I don’t know why either, because, I…

We live in a changing world. The norms that our parents were raised with have drastically changed. There is no longer the stay-at-home mom mentality or the work for the same company and get the gold watch standard anymore. We live in a time where social norms are constantly being challenged and the way we…

At one point in my career my day started the same…every day, a meeting at 6am, 7am and 8am. Kicker was, they were all related to the same thing…just at a different level of leadership. At the last meeting, the 8am meeting there were usually about 40 people in the room…30 of them didn’t speak.…
