Today is going to be a great day. Are you with me? As I write this, I’ve barely started my day and I can already tell you…it’s going to be a great day. I don’t know what the stock market is going to do. I don’t know what’s going to happen in Washington. I don’t know what’s going to happen overseas. But I’m …
Here’s a quick leadership riddle. Let’s talk about something we all have. It’s completely personal…yours is different from mine and vice versa. We take it everywhere we go. It impacts how other people see us. This thing…it determines most of the success we have in our careers and relationships. It’s always with us…and we’re always in control of it. …
How long have you had your current job? Are you fairly new on the job…or have you been in the role for a while? If you’ve been in your job for a long time…and by a long time let’s say seven or eight years…you’re outside the norm. Would you believe in today’s world most people have 12 to 15 jobs …
Let’s do a little exercise together. Think about the thing in your life that has been frustrating you. The thing that gives you the most trouble. The thing that – no matter how many times or how many ways you approach it – just doesn’t get fixed. Got it? Now…flash forward one year from today. It’s now a full year …
How clear are your personal core values? If you have followed me for any length of time then you have heard me talk about developing your core values.

I have often asked people if they want to have extraordinary success. I have yet to come across a person that lacks that desire. We all have something inside of us that wants more for our lives. The most successful people in the world still have goals and dreams. I will take one step further and say all of us …
I was thinking about titling this blog post, “North, South, East, Success.” We all have heard how success is a Journey. I have heard John Maxwell say that “Success is not a destination, it’s a direction.” I’m a firm believer in this. The beginning of heading in the right direction must come with answering one question. Watch this video and take …
In my world there seems to be a tension between productivity and creativity. We have the artists versus the analytical. The reality is that with a business you must create both. Not only do you need both, but you need both to play together nicely. A creative person that can produce is an incredible asset to have for innovation. A …
At the L2 Learn Lead Simulcast, Tim Sanders said, “The most compassionate thing we can do as leaders is to listen without power.” Everyone in an organization can point their finger at the leader. We all were hired by someone at some point. I say this to say that, as a leader, you don’t have to remind people of your position. …
I never liked the word surrender. It sounded weak. As a leader, I never thought that surrender would be a word I would use to describe my self. You see, I am always wanting to be right.
