Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted more love, attention, respect, time, commitment…you fill in the blank, from another person? What do we normally do in this situation? We look to the other person to give us the more we are looking for. We sometimes even expect this without even telling the other person what “more” we are looking for, we expect them to read our minds…I know it sounds crazy when you actually write it. Well, I

What we “Focus” on grows. Have you ever heard of this saying? I have, and to me, it is the foundation of my work. Daily we all get to decide where we are putting our focus.

John Maxwell says, “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.” This quote spoke to me because the old me NEVER CHANGED. I prided myself on being a consistent and dedicated worker. I never thought to change my surroundings or anything big in my life.

Do you want to be that amazing leader who listens to his employees with an open mind and challenges them to be their best? Do you want to be the supportive co-worker who stands behind another executive and cheers them on to succeed on a project you know will make a positive difference to the organization and those in it?
