(Recorded 9-11-25)
It's that time of year. π The slower speed of summer β±οΈ is in the rear view and the pace is amped up in our lives and in our workplaces. With that elevated energy comes heightened expectations and renewed focus. π End-of-year responsibilities and goals are looming, so it's time to grind! And, as leaders and those who set the tone, grind we shall!
Even as this time of year mandates this restored focus, we cannot, simply CANNOT, forget what matters. This week's video shares a story of what this time of year means to me and why, even in the midst of stress and strain, it always causes me to pause, to reflect and to reaffirm what is important.
Leaders have to lead! Let's make sure our people understand, even in the midst of weight and worry, not to lose perspective and to do those small things that can make a massive differences for them and for others.
1οΈβ£ Live in the moment and enjoy your people π©βπ©βπ§βπ§ and experiences (IRL)
2οΈβ£ Express gratitude (even when the person does what is expected) π
3οΈβ£ Pay it forward to the person "behind you" π
4οΈβ£ Say "I love you" π
5οΈβ£ Be brave and seek help in those moments of overwhelm π
As always friends, thank you so much for watching, for commenting and for sharing!
