While many traits define a successful leader, consistency, vision, and discipline are three master traits that leaders must obtain. These traits act as multipliers, and when combined with other skills, can lead to great success in all endeavors.

It is interesting how we often find ourselves emulating certain behaviors and trends. For instance, consider the sit-ins on college campuses, originating at one university and subsequently spreading rapidly to numerous others. We all aspire to be unique individuals, but the truth is that we invariably imitate certain attributes of others. However, there is value in aspiring to imitate the virtues of Jesus. By emulating Christ, we endeavor to uphold what is righteous, just, and good. While we may not achieve perfection in this pursuit, we must persevere, relying on the guidance of Jesus and striving for goodness while rejecting evil. It is in goodness that we find our connection to God.

Six years ago, I made a bold decision that forever altered the course of my life. I stepped out of my comfort zone and left behind a 20-year career in human services to pursue something entirely new: a career in the trades. More specifically, I became a Traffic Signal Technician. At the ripe young age of 41, I bought my first pair of composite toe boots–boots that felt heavy with the weight of my decision. I dug my first trench, pulled my first run of wire, hung my first street name sign, and wired my first traffic signal head—all moments that felt like victories in their own right.  At 42, I began apprenticeship schooling, and at 43, algebra came back to haunt me in the form of Ohm's Law. But, those boots had somehow gotten much lighter. At 46, after four years of schooling and 8,000 field hours, I earned my certificate of completion from the Department of Labor. Today, at 47, I’m proud to share that I passed my IMSA Senior Traffic Technician Level III certification. As a black woman in a male-dominated field, this is about more than a title or certification. It represents resilience, determination, sacrifice, grit, commitment and an unwavering belief in myself and my abilities. The quote, “You are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream” has never felt so true. So, for anyone out there hesitating to start something new, whether it’s a career change, a personal goal, or just taking that first step toward reinvention, hear me loud and clear: YOU are the goal. YOU are the dream. And YOU have everything within you to make it happen!

At ToolHound, we often say that no two organizations use our system the same way. Every sector brings unique challenges and needs, and our Sales and Support teams have decades of experience tailoring solutions to fit these distinct processes. At our 2023 User Conference, René Landry from PCL Industrial Management Inc. shared how they developed a custom process to track productivity, efficiency, and damage trends for bulk inventory—items that don’t require certification or unique time tracking. As a 100% employee-owned company, PCL continually strives for improvements, and ToolHound helps them meet these goals. https://lnkd.in/eh_tPA-7 #InventoryManagement #ToolTracking #ProcessImprovement #EmployeeOwned #ToolHound

Trust is a valuable commodity that is easily lost and difficult to regain. In today's society, there is so much mistrust that it's challenging to distinguish between the truth and lies. Can we trust our politicians, employers, or doctors? It's hard to know whom to trust. In my opinion, there is only one true source that you can rely on, and that is Jesus. He will guide you toward what is right, good, and fair. However, I am guilty of not trusting Him enough and holding onto my problems. Currently, I am worrying over a heart issue that has taken me by surprise, and I am uncertain about its potential implications. While it is easy for me to say that I trust Jesus, it's tough to put it into practice. Sometimes, I don't even follow my advice in my posts. Despite my struggles, I believe that the world needs to become more trusting, not just of each other but, most importantly, of Jesus. He holds the key to unlocking the truth, and by knowing the truth, we can free ourselves from the worries of this world.
