INSPIRATIONAL IMPACT

“Inspiration turns into impact because you have the courage to start something and the persistence to follow through.” – Tom and David Kelley Inspiration is a funny thing.  We can be sitting on our couch watching television and be inspired. We can be sitting in a pew at church and be inspired. We can read a book, see the sunrise and/or admire a colleague’s effort and be inspired. But, the quote above captures it.  Inspiration

Hope for the New Year

My hope is that you have been experiencing great joy in this season. I’m learning that “joy” comes from where your heart is and where your mind is set. In this season, can you set your mind on blessings? They surround us if we pay attention. Roofs over our heads. Great communities where we live. Family members you love. Friends who help. And, I hope, a job where you contribute and draw satisfaction. Set your

NEGATIVE VISUALIZATION – REORIENTING YOUR MINDSET

Have you heard about “negative visualization?” Here’s the idea: Whenever you reach a bored or dissatisfied state of mind, you can turn to “negative visualization” to reorient your mindset. And here’s how it works. No matter how dissatisfied you may be, most of us can pause, look around, and identify somebody or a situation much worse than we are experiencing.

“HAPPENING TO THE WORLD” IS A MINDSET

“There are two kinds of people: those who believe they make things happen and those who believe things happen to them.” – Travis Bradberry, Forbes Sound familiar? Bradberry cites a study by Dr. Tim Judge at the University of Florida stating that those who “happen to the world” sell more, serve customers better, adjust faster to change, and get paid more. Particularly distinctive is how “happening to the world” people respond to complex, challenging times. They

WHO DEPENDS ON YOU?

Who is your customer? In business, we all serve the customer, or someone who serves the customer. Think about it. You perform tasks, do work, fulfill responsibilities, or create a product that someone counts on each day. To be depended upon gives meaning in life. When you get up in the morning, if you can set your focus immediately on who depends on you, it will likely be the juice that sets you in motion.

VULNERABILITY – A CALL TO ACTION

Sociologist Brene Brown created one of the most-watched TED Talks when she spoke on the power of vulnerability. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/iCvmsMzlF7o. She points out that vulnerability is apparent when things are uncertain, when things important to you are at risk, and when you face emotional exposure. It’s not weak to be vulnerable. You’re not inadequate when you are vulnerable. In fact, says Brown, if you have the right mindset about being vulnerable, you will respond

DEFINING THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO

“Courage is the difference between dreaming of the life you want and living the life of your dreams.” – Edwin McManus Are you putting something on the line today? Reading something new? Trying to reach a goal? Learning a new skill? Traveling a different path? We get stuck in the same ol’ same ol’ sometimes. We’d like to see our lives change for the better. We can imagine an improved future, but we fail to

PLAYER-COACHED TEAMS

Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo said, “A player-coached team is better than a coach-coached team.” A powerful insight about great teams! The “players” have a huge role in leadership. The eyes of the team aren’t only for the coach. The players step up. They set standards. They model the fulfillment of the standards. They hold each other accountable to adhere to them. Looking at me now, you may not believe it, but basketball was
