Motivation

  Taking chances is so important. I wouldn’t be where I am now if I didn’t do things that scare me.   – Rochelle Byrne

Challenging times call for a heightened sense of leadership presence.  While remote working tools offer fabulous features, none will replace a great human leader.  Here are four simple things to remember:
1. Care for people with compassion.
2. No matter how many people you may be responsible for, see each person for who they are as individuals.
3. Listen intently … for the verbal and the non-verbal.
4. Speak with kindness, respectfulness and above all, with a sense of purpose and resolve.  Be there for each other.

Whether you subscribe to the 80/20 rule, minimalism or another approach, priorities in work and life make a difference.  During this season, take note of your daily routine.  With list in hand, move the important things to the top and de-prioritize or prune things that don’t serve you and your goals, the new habits you are trying to build, etc.

Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death. – Max Lucado

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in & day out. –Robert Collier

When you find what you love, you will do it for the impact not the income.  – Dr. Annise Mabry
