Daily Deliberation: 16 October
We are meant for great things. However, when the finish line of the race is designed to edify ourselves, we are missing the point. We have the gifts and talents that we do to further a cause or an ideal. We will all be pushing posies at one point, but the causes we champion will…

Daily Deliberation: 15 October
I turned on my monitor this morning and noticed that I had 7 “tabs” opened on my web browser. Add on some Excel and Word documents and the list of tabs grew even larger. Made me think that our lives are similar to that…we have a lot of things going on in our lives. While…

Daily Deliberation: 14 October
This is such a powerful concept. I remember when I decided to stop comparing myself against my peers and started holding myself accountable to my own abilities. When we do this, we are forced to ask ourselves how we are doing in a certain area and how we can get better. We can’t make excuses…

Daily Deliberation: 13 October
I can’t tell you where I was the first time I heard someone say “don’t just bring me problems, bring me solutions”, but I’m glad I was given that guidance early in my career. Sometimes we make it too easy for people to tell us everything that they don’t like or don’t agree with and…

Daily Deliberation: 10 October
All to often we spend hours and even days on creating the perfect plan. The only problem is that plan is useless the moment it is put into action. Nothing ever goes exactly as planned and that scares us. Don’t give up making a plan, just put it into action a bit sooner. Commit to…

Daily Deliberation: 8 October 2020
Ask any person in a leadership position and they’ll probably tell you they have an Open Door Policy…but do they really? I did, and found that it was one of the most beneficial tools in my toolbox. What is your policy? Can folks come in without an appointment? Will you drop what you are doing…

Daily Deliberation: 6 October 2020
One of my favorite days as a supervisor is providing the Initial Feedback (different organizations will call it different things). The ultimate goal is to let the employee know what my expectations are for them, then about 6 months later I give them a “mid-term” and let them know how they’re doing. Anyways, I started…
