Check out my new article on Problem Solving Mindsets. I love this stuff!

Ever read a book and find yourself cheering it on? Wow this book!! I feel like someone read my mind and wrote a book on my behalf. #thefivedysfunctionsofateam #patricklencioni Strong Leadership is key if you want a group to work together and hash out the hard stuff. Conflict is GOOD when handled in a trusting, open environment. An important takeaway is that you don’t need to be the CEO to influence your working culture. Be brave, be vulnerable, stand up for what you believe... in. IF you leave a difficult culture you want to walk away with your head held high knowing you put your best self forward!! . #leadership #trust #accountability #culture #buyin #collaboration #conflict #encourageconflict #findyourcalmfindyourconfidence

Don’t limit your potential! Don’t settle! Reach higher, push through fears and show yourself what you’re capable of! If you believe you have more to offer make sure you speak up and also demonstrate your abilities. Sometimes simply clarifying your interests and skills is what is needed to get others to understand your worth. If it gets dismissed or taken for granted, go seek out others who share your values. This will be a better environment to shine in!

So true in both business and personal life. We can find ourselves full with excitement about a new idea or a new situation, and the actual result may be very different than what you planned and hoped for. Take time to reflect, what lessons can you learn, how will you tackle things differently next time? Acknowledge the disappointment, and then move on! Dwelling in a negative self defeating space never helped anyone succeed!! #gogetit #refection #determination #dissapointmentquotes #findyourcalmfindyourconfidence #leadershipquotes

Have you struggled with how to plan your activities, either personal or professional? Try a Start / Stop / Continue exercise. It can help businesses bring awareness to how much is actually going on in their business. Sometimes the silent things happening in the background are done only "because that's how we always do it"! Change is constant, perhaps some things can halted. Is there still value in the activities, is there enough time, money and resources? Perhaps you need to... stop doing something to make time for more valuable efforts! When done in a collaborative manner it can help reach consensus, and helps to make people responsible and accountable.
