Training is often considered to teach someone “How to” do a job (push this, click here). My role is to train “The WAY” we engage (Lead this way, think differently)

Don't get too caught up in the past or future. Take a moment to appreciate the present and all the beauty around you. Sometimes, it's worth taking a glance in the rearview mirror to see just how far you've come.

Make a difference by showing you care! It’s that simple. Last night our waitress went above and beyond with our table setting and shared in some light conversation. This reminded me that no matter what your profession is, you can make an impact. Find your joy and do it well.

No matter what emotions are felt over the next few days/weeks/months, they are valid. You don’t need to make any rash decisions, so be okay feeling everything. It is part of the process towards a better you. Today is full of possibilities

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route. Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control. Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.

When someone offers feedback you don't like, the ideal response isn't to ignore it. It's to seek more perspectives. One person's reaction is an opinion. If multiple people make the same point, it's a pattern. The best way to grow is to find the recurring signal in the noise.
