Passionate about leadership development to help others realize their full potential and on a journey to learn and grow more every day
It’s official. We dropped our second child at college this week, and she’s off on her own adventure 1,000 miles away from home.
Right before we drove away, we imparted our last shot of wisdom upon her. In the end, my wife and I each gave her one, and she surprised us by giving herself one too.
Read about those three pieces of advice here that applies to us all.

It’s the busy season for visitors at my work, and we’ve had a lot. After giving my eighth tour of the installation, I got back to the office and sarcastically said, “No more VIPs.”
“Actually,” one of my co-workers chided me, “I feel like you would say everyone you talk to is an important person, whether they’re here for the day or work here all the time.”
He got me! This week we talk about how VIPs and our own people should be treated more the same than different.

This week, I celebrated my birthday. Now, I’m not a big birthday guy at home—in fact, it comes and goes with little fanfare—but I strongly believe birthdays provide leaders a tremendous opportunity in the workplace to recognize their people. Many fail to take advantage of this.
This week’s article is about tangible ways to recognize people through their birthdays at work – and maybe get some extra cake at the same time…

Leaders,
This week is a message from legendary baseball coach John Scolinos. He preaches that there is a standard in life, and we must all live up to and enforce that standard.
I encourage you to think about how you communicate your standards and coach people to living up to them.
Be great today!
