Everyone remembers someone who believed in them.

It wasn't necessarily the smartest teacher, the toughest coach, or the most talented boss. It was the person who genuinely cared.

In this week's Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry explores why caring is one of the most overlooked yet powerful leadership skills. Whether you lead a team, a business, a classroom, or your family, people respond differently when they know they matter.

In this episode you'll discover:

Why trust begins with genuine care.

How caring creates courage and confidence.

Why people accept coaching from those who care about them.

The lasting legacy of leaders who choose people over performance.

A simple challenge to become someone others never forget.

Leadership isn't about impressing people.

It's about impacting people.

And impact always begins with caring.

Challenge of the Week:

Find one person who needs encouragement. Send the text. Make the phone call. Stay a few extra minutes. One act of genuine care could change someone's life.

Never Stop Getting Better.

**Monday Mojo Episode 322: Seeing the Good**

What if the problem isn't what you're looking at... but the lens you're looking through?

In this week's Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares a powerful story about a woman who criticized her neighbor's "dirty laundry"—only to discover that the real problem was her own dirty window. It's a timeless reminder that our perspective shapes our perception.

This episode will challenge you to examine your own heart before judging others, choose grace over criticism, and become the kind of leader who sees the best in people instead of assuming the worst.

When you clean your own window, you don't just change what you see—you change how you lead.

What if the biggest obstacle to your growth isn't what you don't know—but what you think you already know?

In this Monday Mojo, John Perry shares the timeless story of a student who traveled to learn from a renowned Zen monk. Eager to demonstrate his knowledge, the student repeatedly interrupted the monk. In response, the monk poured tea into the student's cup until it overflowed, teaching a lesson that has challenged leaders, coaches, and learners for generations.

The message is simple yet profound: you cannot pour more into a cup that is already full.

In this episode, John explores the importance of remaining teachable, listening with humility, and creating space for growth. Whether you're leading a team, coaching athletes, building a business, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that learning begins when pride ends.

In This Episode:

• Why humility is a leadership superpower

• The danger of believing you've already arrived

• How great leaders remain lifelong learners

• The difference between listening to respond and listening to understand

• Why curiosity creates growth and certainty often limits it

• Practical ways to keep your "cup" empty and ready to learn

The leaders who grow the most are not the ones who know the most. They are the ones who never stop learning.

Question of the Day:

Where in your life has your cup become too full?

Remember: Stay humble. Stay curious. Never Stop Getting Better.

What can a rude talking parrot teach us about leadership, growth, and wisdom?

In this week's Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares a hilarious story about a parrot whose bad attitude finally lands him in the freezer. After a brief moment of reflection—and a glance at the turkey beside him—the parrot emerges with a completely different perspective.

While the story will make you laugh, the lesson is serious. Too many people insist on learning every lesson the hard way. Wise people learn from the experiences of others. They pay attention to the consequences of poor decisions, the rewards of good choices, and the examples all around them.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why wisdom often comes from observation

• How great leaders learn from the mistakes of others

• The importance of being coachable before adversity strikes

• Why humility accelerates growth

• How to avoid life's unnecessary "freezer moments"

The question isn't whether life is teaching lessons. The question is whether we're paying attention.

Never Stop Getting Better.
