Daily Deliberation: 26 August 2020
I have always loved this quote. Most of us do one or the other: we work for tomorrow and refuse to enjoy today. Or we party like rock stars today and pay no attention to the future. The secret is to do both. Figure out where you want to be in a month, year, 10-years……

Daily Deliberation: 25 August 2020
A few posts ago I wrote an article comparing how there were multiple ways to get to a goal…just like a GPS will give you multiple ways to get to a destination. Now, technology is getting close, but as far as I know, there isn’t a GPS out there that knows your destination just by…

I bet if you look back to those tough times in your lives, you will see something that came from it. When we go through a divorce, loss of a loved one, bankruptcy, injury or anything else life-changing, we think our lives are over. In a way, life as we knew it is over, but…

Lately, I have been very interested in the topic of failing. Most of us look at a failure as a bad thing. We become paralyzed with fear and afraid to try something new. “What if it fails?” My boss will think I am not talented or my peers will resent me. How many times did…

I was once told others don’t remember what you say; rather, they remember how you made them feel. We have seen this in action and probably are guilty of it ourselves. I know I am. Think about someone you respect. They just forfeited on a promise they made to you. Maybe they missed a meeting…

What is measured, matters. And other variations of this phrase have been quoted for years. We create slides and track stats to look for trends in performance or standards. For the most part, this is a good thing. However, some key things can’t be measured with numbers. Things like trust, respect, integrity, or service do…

I’ll admit, finding a job post-military hasn’t been as easy as I’d thought it would be…not by a long shot, but here is what I’ve learned over the past few months. I’ve got a great network of family (especially my wife), friends, and mentors that are willing to bend over backwards to help me out.…

Introvert or extrovert. Charismatic or meek. Many of us our led to believe that how others project themselves is what makes them a great leader. Yes, personality will attract others to you, but what is keeping them there?

One of the many jobs I had prior to joining the Air Force was working at a grocery store…started in high school. Worked really hard and made it up to Grocery Manager when I was 21…and wow, I failed miserably. I had no idea how to manage or lead people. I got to that position…
