A boss once said to me, "You tell too many stories.".Then they added, "I don’t want you to be annoying.". Annoying? Oh no, I’m sorry. Did my engaging, lesson-packed, action-driven stories interrupt your regularly scheduled boredom?. My bad. Next time, I’ll just recite a list of.

I hear this all the time, especially in youth sports…. “She’s not good at this.” .“He can’t do that.” . No sh!t. They’re human!. Hmmm…. Are you great at everything? Can you do it all? . Tearing people down to lift yourself up doesn’t make you stronger. It makes you look weak.

Years ago, a coworker hit me with a line I’ll never forget: “If you want people to open up, stop going straight to business. Start with chit-chat.”. That one stuck. Not everything about leadership needs to be deep or strategic. Sometimes, it’s just… chit-chat. Those quick.

17 today. 🎂. It’s wild how fast it’s all moving. One minute you’re watching her wobble into kindergarten with a backpack bigger than she was… and now she’s driving herself to workouts, navigating big decisions, and thinking about what’s next. This past year wasn’t all

I used to spend way too much energy sizing myself up against others. Who’s ahead? Who’s winning? Am I doing enough?. It was exhausting. And honestly, it didn’t make me better. It just made me insecure. Everything changed when I flipped the script. What if I stopped trying to

4 Recruiting Tips for the Final 4 Weeks of AAU 🏀. 1️⃣ Improve daily. Coaches want players on the rise. 2️⃣ Be realistic. If D1s aren’t calling, target D2/D3 & build traction. 3️⃣ Think differently. Send hand-written notes. 4️⃣ Find a way. No offer? Pay to play if you love it.

I walked into a @usbank branch the other day for a quick transaction. As I was leaving, the manager, Jeffrey, stopped me to say hello for a few minutes. While we were catching up on all things work and life, I couldn’t help but notice something. Every single customer who.

Ever heard the workplace’s greatest hits? . Take a 30-60-minute stroll around your office or facility. You’ll hear them on repeat. “My manager should give us Fridays off!”.“My manager should answer emails faster.”.“My manager should… actually show up.”. Now, will someone say.

If you don’t want to be talked about at dinner, don’t coach or lead. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not always negative. It just means your actions (or inactions) matter. People notice leadership… good and bad.

Want to play in college? Unless you’re a freak athlete, you better bring a college work ethic… like right now! Wayyy before you ever step on a college campus.

People talking behind your back?.You’re probably where they want to be. Stay focused. Stay kind. Stay you.
