Where is your journey taking you? What is your destination? If your first thought is a vacation spot, that’s fine, but not what I’m referring to this time. The John Maxwell Team recently hosted the annual Live2Lead (L2L) event and the first virtual. My personal, focused leadership journey began there. This is my fourth L2L.Continue reading “Where is the next stop in your journey?”

Be Intentional!
I hope my thoughts don’t offend anyone. Well, truth be told, I actually hope they do. It seems now more than ever we need to offend somebody to get them to listen and respond. There is way too much of that going on. Only individually can we hope to end this offensive nonsense. Be Intentional.Continue reading “Be Intentional!”
It Is What It Is
It Is What It Is Tired of hearing about the “new normal” yet. I like to call it, “It is what it is!” A coaching buddy of mine introduced me to the concept. Today Matters! Failing Forward My point is that every minute, hour, day, week, month, and year brings us a new normal. ThoseContinue reading “It Is What It Is”
Words I Hate
During times of uncertainty, change is certain. Two words I’ve come to detest are uncertainty and unprecedented. They are really overused words that mean nothing. Either everything or nothing is unprecedented or uncertain, right? Being an optimistic, trusting, honest, enthusiastic and team-oriented person, I like to shift things to the positive. By the way, those are my five core valuesContinue reading “Words I Hate”
Zooming Into Tomorrow
Trying to be helpful in the midst of this mess is easier said than done. I thought maybe I’d write about masks. Upon further review—no. What about “returning to normal”? If you’ve read my articles, you know I’m a believer that change is inevitable and normal is wherever we are. What about youth sports andContinue reading “Zooming Into Tomorrow”
Then Take Action
I reside in Portage County, WI. If every one of Portage County’s over 70,000 citizens committed one intentional (not random) act of kindness towards marginalized neighbors, what a more awesome place we would live in. Then Take Action!, Imagine if that happened with the eight billion people in the world. Then Take Action! For those who have signed-on to various declarations on racismContinue reading “Then Take Action”
One Size Fits All
We need to be in recovery and reconstruction mode. We will come out of this different. It will be up to each of us if we want to make it better. It certainly can be better, even as painful as it has been to watch our friends and families suffer and businesses close, in some cases. I’llContinue reading “One Size Fits All”
Network Development
Technology has done so much for our society, right! I mean, while we are on vacation we can stay up-to-date on everything happening at work, in government, around the world, and with our neighbors (if we even know them). And that’s where the problem lies. People are face first in their technology and ignoring theContinue reading “Network Development”
Aren’t We Just People After All
While I was waking up this morning, I was reading an article about Generation Z. I’m guessing next it will be Generation AA, like the batteries? There is a boatload of information on how to “handle” different generations. I’m thinking back to when I wasn’t a baby-boomer and I was just a “people”. I’m guessingContinue reading “Aren’t We Just People After All”
Balancing Act
The spinning plates on the Ed Sullivan Show provides a great visual of a balancing act. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhoos1oY404. This time of year our ability to spin all of the plates (and other items) and keep them spinning is severely stressed—wrapping up year-end, special events, travel for holidays, budgeting, children’s performances, increased socialContinue reading “Balancing Act”
