We are all different. Beautifully and wonderfully made, but different. We celebrate the difference, that is what makes us uniquely us; you uniquely YOU.  We all can lean anyway, but there is usually one way that we soak it up best. As we each know how we best learn, absorb and retain information when we are learning it is important to think of those around us as well.  When we are presenting we can't just do it for the style that we learn best, aur audiences are vast and different. We need to be hitting on all levels. Is it easy to do, no, but you are not average. You can put in the extra work that most will choose not to. That extra work focusing on connection will pay off; personally and professionally. Today focus on connection for yourself and others. Make sure you are setting yourself up for success learning your best way while also growing to learn on other ways. It can only bring strength.  Connection grows relationships. Fact. Grow your connection with yourse...

 Today is a simple reminder to smile. :) Yes, a smile is a facial expression, but really it is so much more. You can hear & feel as smile. They cost us nothing, but have a great value. Weather we are in person, on a zoom, phone call, voicemail or video your smile comes through.  Smiles can break down  walls, build bridges & create bonds. There is more power in a smile then we may initially think, but today smile every time you pick up your phone or see someone and notice the difference in both of you.  Your smile may be that ONE thing that changes a person's day around and lifts them up . It may be a stranger, family member or teammate. ...and remember, the smile isn't just for others, but it's for YOU as well. Find a mirror, smile....you're worth it.  Have a great day & let's help make others days great too!

There is always going to be pain in change, big or small. Change is also a constant. It could be slight change or on a larger scale; it's important for us to have vision through change.  It's through our actions, attitude & attention to detail that we can also have Gain in Change .  We(You) have the talent, skill & ability to thrive through & an exciting part is that when others are frozen but change or adversity; you are not. You are prepared. You know how to adapt & change to keep moving forward. Your actions, words & countiance can also work as inspiration for others to not sulk, but to rise up as well.  *Remember* that you are not alone when changes come. Life, business are not solo journeys. On our team asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Tap into the human resources around you, not simply the technology ones.  Set sail today with purpose & determination to have Gain. We don't survive change, we thrive...

  Expectations...there are many thoughts on expectations. Are they good to have? Are they set to high? Set to low?  What I want to talk about today is actual expectations, not just verbal ones. We may say that "We expect the meeting to go good." "That we will have a great day." But I want to go a bit deeper....do we really expect that, or are we just saying it because that's what we say? I s our core, or deep expectation that we will succeed? I really hope it is. For me I expect to achieve, but that is only because of the preparation put in and the people around me.  My encouragement for us today is to grow our feeling of certainty of expectation for success , growth and achievement for ourselves and as we grow we will be encouraging others as well.  First, we can grow this by making sure our foundations prep work and routines/habits set us up for success. We secondly do this by making sure we keep company around us that is encouraging, uplifting & e...
