Speaking of Impact

Actions speak louder than words, but words also work.

I often say that taking action is the most important thing to progress. You learn along the way even if you don't find success quickly.

It's also important to have encouraging words in our life and business. There will be times when you need a reminder of why you do what you do and why it's important to build a generous workplace culture.

I was made aware of a great quote on generosity recently and it sparked me to look into what other people have said about the subject over the years. I found some great insight and thought I'd a share a couple other quotes I found to be incredible inspiring.

Let these quotes keep you focused when building your work place culture. Or, let me know which one(s) already do.

Have a generous day. 😁

Avoid these mistakes at all costs.

I'm a big fan of "progress". It's more realistic than "perfection". The biggest mistakes you can make when building a generous workplace culture will come during those times you're trying to be perfect.

I have 4 critical things you must avoid so as to avoid pushing or stressing yourself and your team too much.

Make no mistake that generosity is hard. You will make mistakes. Just don't make these (more than once, max). That will put you on the path to the workplace culture you desire. It will attract talented people and loyal customers.

Let me know if you believe there are other mistakes that must be avoided.

Have a generous day. 😁

This episode is about my 3-step process for building a radically generous workplace culture.

There are a lot of variables in an individual organization and it's critical to consider what makes your company unique. Yet, there are foundational practices that you must have when building the culture you desire.

People need to see you "giving" and understand why it mattes and how to participate.

My "ACE" process outlines three simple concepts that you can implement quickly to start building your generous culture today.

And speaking of that culture…

Have a generous day. 😁

Do this before you give your employees a raise:

Give them something that will make them feel fulfillment and get better in the process.

A lot of business leaders and their companies try to attract top talent and retain who they have with financial incentives and bonuses. These things are fleeting - especially a results-based bonus.

It's better for people to experience a sense of ownership and joy in the process.

There are a lot of intangible things you can give people. I came up with a short list of things that should exist even before a raise is earned.

This is a great start but there are plenty of other things. What else would you add?

Have a generous day.

Slow down or else you'll never make it.

I love to sprint…physically and mentally. It's healthy but it's not sustainable.

And you want a sustainble business, right?

There are no shortcuts or tricks to building a scaling business and a generous workplace culture. You have to be disciplined over a long period of time.

This episode will make you think about what it takes to prepare for great things and execute great things. There are lessoned to be learned from working hard just to prepare for something and ultimately working hard when it's time to execute said thing.

⚠ Spoiler alert: business isn't a sprint, but maybe it includes a few?

Have a generous day.

What do shampoo and conditioner have to do with your business?

I'm not haircare expert but I like to have things conditioned before they're shampooed - in business at least.

I had one of those shower revelation moments recently and trust me, I wasn't singing.

I thought about the importance of running a clean business and how important it is to do from the inside out. You have to condition your people and your culture before you can display a squeaky-clean public image.

So, I'm not sure if you should use conditioner or shampoo first in the shower but I am sure that's the right order when it comes to building a business and a generous workplace culture.

Stay clean and…

Have a generous day.

I dare you to push back on me with this one.

Most would agree that positivity is a good thing. It has to be real thought and that's why identifying positive pressures is key. They enable you to stay active, alert, and intentional while also capitalizing on the force that is a positive mindset.

When you're pressured, you perform and when you're positive, you're encouraged, empowered, and maximumly productive.

Wow, this is a positive explanation - fitting, huh?

The goal for this series (combined with last week's episode) is for you to acknowledge pressure and its potential, eliminate the bad, and create the good.

Do it for yourself. Do it for your team.

Have a positively generous day.

What do you know about pressure?

There are a lot of sources that will tell you to avoid pressure these days. Seek comfort.

It's a terrible idea.

You have to seek pressure - but the right type of pressure. And in order to know the right kind you have to identify the wrong kind.

This Part I of a two part series (perhaps longer) that I'm doing on pressure. It's such a critical part of life and business and I believe that hose who master the art are those that will rise above.

A generous workplace culture is full of pressure. Don't get it twisted. As the leader, you'll need to identify the negative types and remove them from your organization.

Have a positively generous day.

It's up to you to make everything count.

Some say everything happens for a reason. I think they do but that reason is to give you an opportunity for some thing great.

I've been close to death a few times but one time in particular provides a great metaphor for accidents in business.

The unexpected often requires a quick decision making. This episode is about using this great skill to ensure positive outcomes even when something you could not anticipate happens.

Take note of how poise is a replicable thing and great leaders are able to model it for the next generation.

Have a generous day.

Make change or someone else will.

The world is a complex place and your business is just the same. I'm a fan of simplicity but you can only push it so much.

You must be prepared to make adjustments as things change unexpectedly. There's a difference between preparing for everything (which is impossible) and be ready to make a shift (or change) as needed.

The greatest leaders are able to make adjustments in their companies that others can clearly understand. The team is able to execute and believes they'll be successful because the leader demonstrates an ability to pivot with poise and recalibrate with resilience.

This episode will teach you how to anticipate the unexpected and build a generous workplace culture in the process.

Have a generous day.
