Hard To Do Does Not Equal Impossible – Ask Ukraine

This week I watched an Air Force Colonel retire after thirty-two years of military service. At the end of the ceremony, he left us with a few “deep thoughts” he learned over the years.

The one that resonated with me was:

Hard to do does not equal impossible.

This week, we explore the things in our lives that seem impossible, but really are just hard to do.

Lead well!

Lead Like Your Kid’s Soccer Coach

Imagine the best youth sports coach you’ve had or who has coached your child. They have an uncanny ability to build teams, improve confidence, and get results.

The methods they use are amazingly transferrable to leading in the workplace. Those same coaching techniques can also enhance our teams at work.

We should all lead a little more like our kid’s best soccer coach. This week we explore how.

Lead well, on and off the field!

Many leaders don’t know their organization’s pulse. They think they do but are clueless. The only way to truly understand the culture and morale of your people is to get in the trenches and ask them.

This week, come explore the trenches with us and get to know your people’s needs.

Lead well!

The Identity Crisis & the Lie We Can’t Believe

There’s a great lie we all have a tendency to believe about our personal and leader identity. The lie is that:

My Identity = My Performance + What Others Think of Me

This week we look at this destructive belief through a lens of our work, the NFL, and George Washington. We must all realign our identity to lead effectively through the hills and valleys of life.

Lead well!
