This idea has popped up multiple times over the last week so I took this as a sign that I should share it in a post.

The key to big breakthroughs is staying the course even when the progress is hidden.

Here are a couple of examples that illustrate this point.

10 Questions you should never ask your teenager

Have you ever had one of those moments that tugs at your heart and surprises you in a good way? This happened for me last week. My wife represents a health and wellness company and she won an incentive trip to Fiji. There were one hundred people from around the world that won this trip so as you can imagine we took over the Marriott Momi Bay resort. As part of a give back campaign, the company connected with a school in a small village just a few miles away from the resort. Money was raised to fund a renovation of the school's library/reading room, build a new playground and purchase sports equipment. On our second day in Fiji, all of the trip winners went to visit the school and joined in a dedication ceremony for the new playground.

There were two particular moments from our visit to the school that I would like to share.

Taking care of yourself physically can provide a great line of defense against anxiety.

Here are a few ideas for getting a better night's sleep:

1. No screen time for 20 minutes before you plan to go to sleep.

2. Journal for 10 to 15 minutes before bedtime.  

* Recap the day

* Write plan for tomorrow

* 2  to 3 areas  of gratitude 

3. 3 to 5 minutes of relaxing music and focus on your breath right before you go to sleep. Quiet the mind.

In this expert interview I had an awesome conversation with Lindsay Boccardo.

Lindsay is a speaker and coach. She started her coaching practice as a career coach for young high achievers. This work gave her a unique perspective into the younger generations.

In this interview she shares some great insights on how Gen Z’s (Your teenager is in Gen Z) life experience and perspective is different from yours.

We also spend some time talking about teenage anxiety, social media and the speed of communication.

Be sure to stick around to the end to hear her answer to this question.

Based on your experience with Gen Z … What is the one piece of advice you would give to a parent with a teenager?

This is a great piece of wisdom.
