How do we take care of the troops?
1. Think about your troops
2. Define Mutual Expectations
3. Help Others Win Their Day

Let's grow together. I believe in you.

It's back and better than ever! 

Thank you for your patience. We're excited to bring the Challenge of the Week back for your growth and development.

This week's challenge: Reflect | Refocus | Restart

A new year is just around the corner. Are you ready? Are you doing the work to be the best version of yourself? 

The following questions are referenced in this week's episode:
My invitation this week starts with some questions…(which I will post in the show notes)

·        How did you grow this year? 

·        What did you learn?

·        How do you want to grow next year?

·        What were your goals for 2024? 

·        What caused them to be? 

·        What prevented them from happening?

·        What are your expectations of others to make your goals come true?

·        What are the boundaries and/or non-negotiations to make your goals true?

·        How will you celebrate success?

·        What must you do to achieve the results you desire?

·        What will you need from others to feel supported in that process?

It's great to be back. Let's grow together. I believe in you.

Special thanks for Huntley Lawrence and Reed Bingaman for encouraging me to keep moving forward.

The reality is, we all have things like TPS report cover sheets. So where's the challenge in that?

The Challenge of the Week is a 6 minute podcast designed to challenge us with one thing to focus on each week for personal growth. This week's challenge: Put your phone down.

Americans spend on average 4.5 hours per day on their phones (https://www.pcmag.com/news/americans-check-their-phones-an-alarming-number-of-times-per-day). This is more than 1600 hours per year...what would you do with an extra 2 months of time per year?

How do we think about creating boundaries around our phones?

How might our interactions with our teams and families change if we limited our phone use?

Listen her for more.
