This weeks episode of Bainology Podcast is the 2nd installment of the Seven Career Enhancers. The best career advice that Jeff refers to is the one where he was informed that a person has to be "working" on today what they desire to become professionally five-years down the road.  Not that what you are doing now is bad, but if you expect to be doing something bigger and better in five years; now is the time to begin the "tip-toeing" in that direction.

This weeks Bainology Podcast, the 22nd Anniversary week of 9/11, provided me the opportunity to reflect back of what I learned required of leadership. It provided a slap in the face of the value of having empathy for one another. Our students on campus, and across American, were NOT necessarily looking for answers, they just needed someone to talk to.  Someone to share their angry, fear, frustrations, heartbreak and anxiety with.  They just needed someone to listen to, someone to show them they cared.

This week's episode of Bainology is the 3rd part of a three part series on the fundamental understanding of the value of establishing Core Values.  This week we will specifically address the Core Value of "Character".   Floyd Reese of the Tennessee Titans shared with me that character possessed  is not seen as good or bad.  He stated that one either possess character or they don't.  We also look at character being a trait that someone has to teach, monitor and reteach for it to be mastered.

Do not ever let your lack of composure, aka impulsive emotions, speak for you.  Words and reactions can be sharper than knives causing both temporary and permanent wounds. If deep enough, some wounds do not heal. 
Your emotions are the trigger for engaging and controlling your composure. Sometimes your emotions give you bad information. Be smart, STOP think/breathe, seek input, make good decisions - the first time. Your ability to successfully manage your emotions/composure will directly impact your ability to lead people.
