1. Be relatable. You have to be a people person and be able to relate to them. Relate to their wins, their losses, their journey of who they are!
2. Leaders can demonstrate. They have to be able to do (at least once) what they are asking of others.
3. You have to make sure that other people know that what they are doing is important. You must be able to accentuate someone else's purpose. You have to make them and their purpose the most important thing in the world, to them.

This is an absolute MUST watch to get the details on his discussion of these points!

I got the chills when Nate shared this statement.

"Even though he got so high... he stayed so low." ~ Pastor Nate Davis

High School Football season is back! I love this time of year. Connecting with other parents, having pride in watching all of our kids play. And like each of the players, and other fans that are cheering for our team - I WANT THEM TO WIN!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAMlsB5Lyn8

Our oldest son’s football team suffered their first loss of the season yesterday. It was against a team that is very good, they were rated better. But, our team played phenomenally! As parents, fans, and even the coaches - we want to see them excel, even when it means sometimes we don’t take home the “W”

After the game, certainly our boys were upset, that happens, because in the moment, that WIN is the most important thing to them. As parents, we can see past the one game.

One of the coaches and I were talking after the game and we both agreed, better to take a loss now early in the season, and really learn from it - with the hopes to take home a bunch more wins!

See as long as you learn from a loss, you take home a lesson from your mistakes. That is what is most important. See the other team had beaten us, not because they outplayed us significantly - but it was based on us making simple mistakes. So the time is now to correct those things and then have a really amazing ongoing season.

Another note - you get better when you play against people that are better than you. See if these young men were lined up all season against teams that weren’t so good, then it would be a cake walk… UNTIL… they met someone that was a contender. This way they are going in eyes wide open for the rest of the season. They will (hopefully) have that challenger mentality!

So for all of us that are success driven in life, we only want to take the wins; be aware, if you don’t take a loss sometimes and learn from it - you will NEVER REACH THE FULLEST POTENTIAL OF WHAT YOU ARE MEANT TO BE!

I am such a fan of Bobbie! She is just a phenomenal woman. Well-rounded, strong business professional, and still talking with her she is always warm, caring, and makes you feel like the only person in the world. She is great!

1. You have to CARE. If you don't care about your people and their growth. They won't care about you.
2. Let go of control. People that are in management and leadership are often wanting to have total control. You have to let that go or your people won't grow.
3. Learn to coach with grace. You have to have grace and compassion to coach people, which may include really tough conversations or even terminating them. Be caring in coaching too!

This episode is really, really amazing, and I would encourage you tuning in either to the video or the podcast!

Some people are coaches, some are teachers.

Coaching and teaching and the similarities or differences are something I have been thinking about recently.

Both teaching and coaching are of course helping someone learn a particular skill or set of skills or sharing a certain piece of knowledge, and both of them are gifts that are given to a student.

https://youtu.be/RHnE_spkmus

One of the things that I see is teaching is providing information from the teacher to the student. It’s a more one-way interaction.

I have often viewed myself as a teacher, because of sessions such as this. I am sharing my knowledge on a skill or subject – and what you do with it is your own. You can teach on a massive scale, especially in today's online environment. One video, on a blog post, can reach the masses.

Coaching, on the other hand, is more give and take, coaching is about feedback. Information from the coach to the student, and then feedback on progress is given back from the student to the coach. And sometimes the plays change. Coaching, to me is certainly more one on one.

So in these examples, the biggest difference is that, ultimately, teaching is about the teacher and coaching is about the student.

As I mentioned before a teacher maybe can reach 10,000 people with their message, on the other hand, it would be tough to observe and offer one-on-one feedback tot hose same 10,000 people to truly coach them.

When it comes to business you need both sets of skills. I am not saying one outweighs the other. But, I do think it’s important to acknowledge that there is a difference between teaching business (the education side) and coaching someone in business (the practical side).

Teaching is a form of education, is more academic and knowledge-based. Coaching is more practical and skills-based or job focused.

It was a really good and candid talk with Kevin tonight. He is just so knowledgeable on relationship building.

1. All things being equal, people do business with people that they know, like, and trust.

Right now this is weighing on my mind to be kind to others based on an interaction I had just yesterday in our dealership. Let me share with you the story… (Watch the video to get the story and not just the notes!)

https://youtu.be/2mhVOFxWlz4

So here are a few notes and lessons I’ve learned about kindness over the years:

• Everyone is affected by an act of kindness. Kindness is contagious and you never know just how big of an impact a small gesture of kindness can have.
• Kindness improves our quality of life. It brings people together.
• Being nice actually impacts our psyche and the way we look at ourselves. Doing something good for someone else makes us feel good without any expectation of return.
• Spreading joy is an act of kindness. So smile at strangers, and laugh with other people!

Here are some notes and things you can do to spread kindness as a leader in your workplace:

• Lead by example. Others will emulate you. If you are kind, and you say please, and thank you, your people will too.
• Be kind to others. At work, you are all working for a common goal. Remind yourself of that before you remind others of it.
• If you can’t say something nice… you know the saying, so let’s keep it positive. Build people up, don’t tear them down.
• Recognize one another’s strengths. A pat on the back can go a long way. And as a leader, one thing I have seen over and over again – is that people will fulfill what you tell them they are. So if you tell them they are great – in most cases, they will live up to your expectations and be great!

So, take a breath, share a smile, and tell someone they are awesome today! Be kind! Talk to you soon!

Here we go! These by no means are the ONLY tips to see success in life or in business. But these five are speaking to me right now. So I thought I would share! This may be a refresher for some and an epiphany to others.

https://youtu.be/G8JZh5I6Xpc

1. Consistency. Being consistent is an ongoing and common theme in being successful, whether it be in business or in personal life. Consistency in my opinion also includes some planning. You must plan to be consistent and consistently plan.
2. Do things that matter towards your goal. This is simple, but not always easy. Just ask yourself the question – “What I am working on right now… is it moving me closer to the goal or further away?” If it is moving you closer. Then do that. If not. Stop it.
3. Connect with people. One thing I have learned over time is that we cannot achieve the highest level that we want to by ourselves. We must build relationships. Nurture those relationships. Because connecting with people and helping them to grow helps us grow in the process. And the more you reach out and connect, the more you will find that your skills complement others and theirs will compliment you!
4. Show no fear! Remember the “NO FEAR” shirts in the 90’s? I thought those were so cool… I collected them and wore them out to the point, I have none left. Anyway – this is not saying to HAVE no fear, I ‘m saying not to display it. When you show that you are nervous about something, it magnifies. The people around you see it, they get nervous and play off of it. Fear can be crippling, not necessarily when you have it. But when you allow it to become a focus for yourself or others.
5. Take action – ACT! This has been a mantra of mine for some time! You have to GO! It’s one thing to say you will do any of these other four things, and another to take action towards them. Even if it is 5, then 10, then 15 minutes per day. Spend some time working, like really working on or towards your goals!

https://youtu.be/k-7oe4sr66g

I am really inspired by much of the insight that Jairek shared with me on this episode!

1. The psychology of the leader determines the actions of the leader. Their psychology and how they view things will determine how effective they are.
2. Transparency. What people see on the surface and the underlying things that are happening... are they congruent? We have to be REAL with what we are saying and doing.
3. Alignment in making the company a great place. With as much time as people spend at work. Give people a place that they can enjoy as humans. A work environment that allows them to enjoy their life!

This episode is really, really amazing, and I would encourage you tuning in either to the video or the podcast!
