Let's shift the focus from journals as leather-bound tomes to preserve the truths of our time. Not all of us are channeling Marcus Aurelius. For this discussion, let's not look at journals as a permanent record or worry about precious gilded pages that can not be torn from a book without incurring wrath. I'm talking about an affordable, useful notebook or legal pad caliber method to capture your thoughts, learning moments, commitments, or inspirations.

It’s Time

For all the misery, shock, and pain 2020 inflicted, it also revealed many things we suspected but didn’t dare admit. We learned a lot, and not all of those lessons were pleasant. Many people are still struggling to reconcile brutal truths.

Recently, an otherwise informative webinar by a noted speaker spectacularly fell off the rails when the host ranted on his disdain for Servant Leadership; the leadership style practiced over thousands of years, though branded differently in the last few decades.

As we squabble amongst ourselves, emotions flare, beliefs get challenged, and a way of life feels threatened; you must pursue love and patience to weather this storm least outside forces exploit our divisions. Despite bombastic rhetoric and the urge to retaliate, you must adopt stoic resolve.

Welcome back to Reflections on Leadership. We took a little hiatus, which went longer than expected, but we’re back now and ready to go.

Some people have found a way to thrive this year, while many others are struggling -- badly. It's easy, convenient, and justifiable to blame 2020 for your troubles. I have some suggestions on how to start to bounce back. They don't replace the need for proper physical and mental attention; instead, they serve as a blueprint if you are battling private demons, feeling lethargic, or adrift in the fog.
