In business and personally, I've learned that the easy choices in the short term often lead to harder outcomes in the end. Whether it's about making share price-based decisions for public companies or prioritizing faster returns in private equity-backed organizations, choosing the easy route now can impact long-term success negatively. Having worked in both these environments, it’s all too common. Avoiding difficult conversations or tasks may seem simpler initially, but it eventually catches up with you. With our team, we emphasize the importance of "doing the right thing," which involves making tough decisions today to ensure a stronger tomorrow for all of us. It's a simple concept, yet regrettably rare in today's business landscape. Let's embrace the idea of making the hard choices today to pave the way for a better future. #BusinessInsights #DecisionMaking #LeadershipDevelopment

Figure it out. Business owners say it often, but it means more than “find the answer.” For me, letting my team figure things out is about combining clear instructions with a clear goal. It’s about setting expectations and then stepping back, giving them the freedom to innovate, problem-solve, and make decisions. “Figure it out” should empower. It’s about encouraging our team to give their best without fearing blame if the results aren’t exactly what we envisioned. Real growth happens when people feel safe to try, learn, and improve, knowing they’re supported. That’s how we build resilience, creativity, and success—together. Comment on how you empower your teams to figure it out with confidence and trust. #EmpoweredTeams #LeadershipMindset #GrowthCulture #FearlessInnovation

🌵 What a cactus taught me about business: Sometimes, it’s not about what you see. Instead, it’s about what you feel. WATCH the video to see what I mean. Here’s the lesson: 👁️ A lot of businesses will derive their value from things you SEE on paper, such as: 👁️ EBITDA 👁️ Net Income 👁️ Gross Profit 👁️ Income Ratio 👁️ Top-line revenue 👁️ Year over Year Growth 👁️ Monthly recurring Revenue These are terrific for measuring your productivity but this is different from measuring the state of your business. I believe there is a specific state you want to be in for growth purposes. That’s the state of generosity. ✋🏼A generous workplace culture is FELT and identified by these things: ✋🏼 Leaders by title are also leaders by action ✋🏼 Employees have agency over their work ✋🏼 Speaking up in meetings is comfortable ✋🏼 Company success is appreciated by all ✋🏼 Collaborative work is most prominent ✋🏼 Diversity of thought is encouraged ✋🏼 A desirable work environment Employees and customers must FEEL their contribution to a generous workplace culture to foster the growth environment you desire. 🚨 Want some help with this starting today?

Are you giving yourself and your people Space for Creativity? The magic happens in those moments of time when we can breathe into a challenge. We all know how critical this is, but many of us still struggle with making time for it. In this week's Speaker in Residence on No Fail Trust with Lt. Col. Jason O. Harris we talked about how creating that sense of trust is foundational to people feeling safe enough to be creative. Safe enough to know that they can take a few hours in their week just for blue sky thinking. We were also joined by our industry colleague, Founder of Dream Development, Sonya Denyse 💡. She is a Dream Strategist, yes there is such a thing, and she guides clients in creating an intentional awareness around their goals and dreams, and shares how creativity is an essential tool for success. The clip in this post is a highlight from our conversation. You can check out the full conversation in comments below.

Problem: A Forbes article from last year found 76% of professionals feel disconnected from their company's vision. But the thing is, it's not just about corporate direction. Your personal vision might be just as fuzzy. Without a clear vision, you're not just lost – you're potentially sabotaging your own success and fulfillment. In today's day and age, finding purpose and leading effectively can be challenging. That's why we're talking about the Vision in this week's newsletter to navigate the complexities of life. 𝗗𝗼: Craft a clear, inspiring vision to guide your decisions. Use your vision as a compass for navigating challenges. Share your vision to motivate and align your team. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁: Underestimate the impact of a well-defined vision. Let short-term obstacles cloud your long-term goals. Keep your vision to yourself – it's meant to be shared. In this edition, we explore how to develop a compelling vision that drives action, drawing insights from John Kotter's "Leading Change." Kotter states, "𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙥𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙." We've distilled Kotter's principles into a practical "V.I.S.I.O.N." framework in the newsletter, providing a step-by-step guide to communicating your vision effectively.
