Baxter's Buzz

There seems to be a "national" day for almost everything, but this one I can get behind! There's nothing wrong with working hard and then rewarding yourself with a vacation or two throughout the year. Take care of your mental health. #BaxtersBuzz

I am so thankful that my friends provide me a safe place express myself. Not free from critique and accountability,  but free from judgement.  Most of us have been taught to keep our business to ourselves and not share what is going on.  Being transparent puts you in a position to receive help and be a source of strength for others. Crystal Wright Adams, author of "Perversion of Love" and I challenge a flawed point of view.  #BaxtersBuzz

Today I'm buzzing about the "Ghosting" era that we find ourselves in. Accountability is a bad word and we're avoiding crucial conversations that will provide us with important opportunities to build rapport with others and become better communicators. It's impacting everything from #dating to #recruiting. #BaxtersBuzz

First and foremost, happy #MLKDay. Today I'm buzzing about MLK, the vision he had, and the vision that most Americans have. How can we put others in a position to realize this "American Dream" that most of us are going after? #BaxtersBuzz

Today, I'm buzzing about the book, "Mastery" by Robert Greene. He says that in order to master a field, you must combine a child-like humility and the discipline that adults typically have. So why does it feel like, "youth is wasted on the young" and we can't seem to always tap into that youthful spirit? #BaxtersBuzz

Why does it feel like our success is never enough? Not to others, but to ourselves!? Today I discuss burnout and a term called, "productivity dysmorphia" (that is completely new to me). I'm not sure how much time we should be celebrating our wins vs. working towards the next goal, but I DO KNOW that we need to give substantial time to both. #BaxtersBuzz #Goals #Burnout #Success

I'm open to new ideas, but there was one position that I refused to waver on for YEARS: New year's resolutions. I thought they were unnecessary, but I was looking at it wrong. Here's to setting goals whenever you please! 🥂 #BaxtersBuzz

Today I'm buzzing about how we align with others and the value that we must bring in order to receive certain endorsements. #BaxtersBuzz

In this "Mentors and Muses" episode, I have a wonderful conversation with Menyon Byrd. Menyon is an Employee Relations and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant. She's also the founder of Blank Canvas Cookies. We talk about her upbringing and how baking cookies for Santa as a child evolved into an actual business. Menyon shares her passion for business, philanthropy, and creating. She is a well-rounded, outspoken, and hard working entrepreneur whose journey is just beginning! #BaxtersBuzz

Today I'm buzzing about some of the great things I experience when I journal. One benefit is the opportunity to organize my thoughts. I have too much going on at times and writing it out helps so much. #BaxtersBuzz
