Here's a link to a fun podcast that I did a few weeks ago. The interviewer was really cool. We talked about authentic success and living an character-infused life. Authentic Success and Leadership (Feat. Corey Ciocchetti)

@coreyciocchetti it starts at the top Hear more from Corey at the McKenzie Family Presidents Leadership Conference in January to find out more about how you can be the change ⚔️

Yet another reason why ethics education is so critical in our increasingly transactional world. https://t.co/wg8naUeOZN

Purdue students are always an awesome audience. I am so impressed with how diligently you’re taking your studies and your future. Just make sure the ladder you’re climbing is always leaning against the right wall.

This is a very good analysis of the COVID vaccine and ethics:

“You don’t need to know how to swim when you struggle in shallow water. Just stand up.” T.D. Jakes

6/ Hang in there . . . this is normal enough and part of the Constitution. America is stronger than this. The ethics of all this are a completely different story and could take up semesters in my ethics classes.

5/ If a super-majority of Americans want the President out . . . it will happen via conviction in the Senate or resignation like Nixon. If not, it will end via acquittal like Clinton. Either way, you are likely to be dissatisfied with the whole thing as I am.

4/ Courts don't want to intrude on this inter-branch fight and you really don't want that anyway. The Chief Justice will walk across the street to preside over this trial soon. That will be awkward enough, just watch.

3/ The fact that it's messy, overtly partisan, and random at times is all part of the process by design. It's extraordinary and Congress sort of gets to make its own rules here. It's a separate branch of government that has partisanship baked into its essence.

2/ It's a legislative super-referendum. If you are for or against impeachment in this case . . . that's okay. You are taking part in the informal phase of the formal process run by your representatives, clumsy and frustrating as it may be.

1/ The House doesn't have to charge the President with an actual crime and a majority vote is enough at this level. This is a political process where the public decides - through their elected representatives - if the charges are enough to remove a sitting President from office.

/2 Those folks are more productive, creative, loyal, & fun. But, until bosses recognize that you can work hard, be an asset, & still place your job a bit lower than your family, you will have to balance the tug of war between work & family – a battle work need not always win.

There is a professional cost to putting family first. Bosses – like most people – act out of self-interest when they cringe at your priorities. Just expect that, it's rational. However, workplaces are better when people come to work happy & fulfilled w/ their priorities intact.

If you really want to be happy . . . maintain your family / faith / morality as top priorities. Your boss might (will) cringe at your choice, but that's tough! Ponder the best memories in your life and tell me if…

God is a space-filler . . . especially in your loneliest times. Just look up.

Never cease in search of your calling - the place where your passions and talents collide. This is the career where you will have the maximum impact in your community. The days may be hard . . . but won't feel like…

The presence of faith is not the absence of doubt -- T.D. Jakes

Check out my new promo video and ponder how to chase an authentic life, identify your calling, & find a true happiness that only comes from contentment, a small group of friends, a solid character, & priorities that align with your heart's desires. Enjoy! https://t.co/YoFfNB1WzC
