Buckle up, because today you’re getting something fresh… hot off the presses. Something brand new, but that I have been doing a lot of thinking about. And something that I realize is true with every fiber of my being. So listen up… because if you get one thing out of this meeting… hell, if you […]

Typically, when we use the word “Integrity,” it tends to be related to trust. “I trust her, because she has integrity,” or, “I wouldn’t work with him, he has no integrity.” And there’s some judgment in it. For the purposes of what I’m saying this morning, I invite us all to leave the judgment out.

However, it is

They’ll be from leaders like Lindsay Fox, who said, “Personal relationships are always the key to good business. You can buy networking; you can’t buy friendships.” And from

Change is hard. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally possible. As a Coach, I witness it almost every day. But I will say that it doesn’t come cheap — you typically have to trade something for it. If it required nothing, then we crazy humans would easily make all of the necessary changes to have

For those of you who are new around these parts, welcome. For the rest of you Elevators, you may be aware that my educational topics tend to fall into one of two camps… the doing, the motion, the physical action that will yield the reaction of results. Or the being, the leadership, the degree to

When I was a young boy, at camp, one of the activities I both thoroughly enjoyed — and happened to excel at — was sailing. There were these little white fiberglass boats with colorful sails and names like “sunfish.” I enjoyed sitting out on a smooth lake, hoisting the sail and catching the wind. It
