Passionate about leadership development to help others realize their full potential and on a journey to learn and grow more every day
Leaders,
You know those people who act one way to their bosses and completely different with peers or employees? Me too.
This week we look at why it’s the inside of a leader that truly matters – how they treat everyone, not just the people in charge.
Be great today!

For many of us, our identity and our success are closely intertwined. When things are great at work, they’re great everywhere else. When things go bad at work, our professional, home, and social lives can suffer.
While this mindset shows you care, it can also be very dangerous if your highs and lows at work determine your highs and lows of life.
This week we dive into a broken arm, professional football, and mood swings as we examine leadership identity.
Be great today!

One of my favorite parts of this current assignment can be summed up in four words: Mike Rowe’s Dirty Jobs.
I get to go do what people do and am so amazed at their professionalism every time. Just as important, it helps me make better decisions later on and value them at the same time.
When was the last time you walked in their shoes?
Be great today!

In his book Creativity Inc., Ed Catmull, President of Pixar and Disney Animation, talks about how our mental models often box us into a singular way of thinking and doing.
When we’ve worked or lived with the same people for a while, our mental models often merge, and we become stuck in performing our tasks the same way over and over.
He argues we should look at how we’re performing tasks and see if there may be a better way.
Last week, a dog attack while running helped me see this.
Be great today!
