Passionate about leadership development to help others realize their full potential and on a journey to learn and grow more every day
I like to think I’m a good listener. But then I think about all the times someone else is talking, and my mind is wandering to what I’m going to say, not what they are saying.
We all don’t listen the same. This week we explore different styles of listening and how to use that to improve two-way communication.
I hope this makes you think differently in your next conversation.
Lead well!

Happy Thanksgiving!
This holiday always makes me reflect on if I’m doing enough to give thanks in my workplace and at home.
No matter the position we’re in, we owe a great deal of gratitude to those around us.
This week we explore thankfulness through the lens of one of my failures in recognizing others, and we seek to continue to grow on our leadership journey.
Lead well, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Leaders are not owed, they owe.
We can all think of a person who felt they were entitled to special privileges because of their position. The best leaders understand their role is not to be owed, but to owe.
This week, we talk about breaking entitlement culture and earning our leadership position.
Lead well!

Happy Veteran’s Day!
One of my favorite Federal holidays is this one – where we have the honor to thank those who have served for their incredible selflessness and sacrifice. Being a Veteran is being a leader!
I hope you’ll get this leadership message out to any Veteran you know. They are the reason our Nation remains strong and secure today.
Lead well and thank you Veterans!

Leaders,
Watching the World Series this week, there are some BIG swings. And some BIG misses.
As I reflect on my leadership journey, I can easily recall times I’ve swung for the fence and missed. These failures in life were very painful but at the same time taught me invaluable lessons I needed for the future.
We need leaders who aren’t afraid to prepare well, swing big, miss, and try again. Those leaders allow others to do the same.
This week we walk through a number of swings resulting in both passed balls and home runs.
Keep swinging and lead well!
