ReEnergize Podcast

Our attitude can make the difference between success and failure.  We have the power to choose our response to difficult circumstances.  The emotions that we harness influence our thoughts, then our actions, and ultimately our results.  In this episode Steve shares a story about a family living in ancient times and how one brother’s response to a broken bow can be a powerful lesson in our lives when we are facing adversity.  

In life, there is one thing besides change that is constant—tribulation.  Irrespective of age, race, status, or degree of righteousness, everyone endures periods of hardship.  That is why we all need grace.  Grace is about receiving strength and doing good with the help and understanding of others.  It’s about cutting people slack and empathizing with others to strengthen our human connections.  In this episode Steve relates his story from a marathon and how we need not only to pour out grace on others, but stop being so hard on ourselves. It’s about helping other people because we can all use grace to push past that metaphoric 22-mile marker when life is dark, and despair is thick.  

Do you ever wonder why some people experience extreme success, while others struggle to capitalize on opportunity?  In this episode Steve will answer this question by providing tips and sharing lessons he has learned on his way to becoming more results oriented.  Too often, people default to activities that are easy to check off the to-do list and avoid pursuing the bold initiatives necessary to ensure lasting change.  However, we can all make simple shifts in our approach that will help us achieve our desired results and build the momentum we need to thrive.   

Just because something is good, doesn’t justify doing it.  Instead, we should focus on the best things in life.  Highly motivated, growth-oriented people often fall into the trap of doing too many things that disguise themselves as important but are rather distractions to us becoming our best selves.  In this episode Steve will discuss how innovation is not about taking on more, but instead simplifying.  We are all bombarded with responsibilities, tasks, demands, and deadlines but Steve will share five tips that will help us decipher what is truly essential. 

The degree of inequality among businesses is troubling.  In most industries that Steve has studied, eighty percent of the economic profit is earned by the top twenty percent of companies.  This means that the other eighty percent of companies are just playing to play, working hard to survive but not truly capturing the financial rewards that are possible in business.  It doesn’t have to be this way!  Organizations that foster strategic financial leadership at all levels empower their people to make real time, data-driven decisions that result in a greater customer experience and higher profitability.  In this episode, Steve discusses the concept of strategic financial leadership and how the art of story telling behind the numbers can have a huge impact on the bottom line.
