Why does asking for advice make you more persuasive? It does NOT show weakness as most people think. Actually, it’s a sign of respect and humility. You are showing someone you think they are smart, and giving them a look at your private thoughts and struggles.

As a leader, it can be easy to get lost in your responsibilities and plans for achievement of goals. But it will take a team to help you get there. Prioritize showing a genuine interest in your team and their work, and help them to connect what they do to the bigger picture.

Just because the “experts” say there’s a particular way to approach your work, or use social media, or do anything, doesn't mean there is. Most breakout success comes from going AGAINST the conventional wisdom of the day.

When we emancipate ourselves from our #ego, we see that we’re surrounded by beautiful people and the wonder and awe of nature. Not all the time. But more often than we know, and certainly only when we’re looking for it. wisdomwell.modernelderacadem…

In my experience coaching executives, most hour-long meetings start up to 15 minutes late. This delay costs attendees an average 45 minutes a day in lost productivity. Reclaim wasted time with these 2 simple steps. bit.ly/2d20HZE #productivity #coachingtips

How much energy & money do you put into making your life vehicle look younger than it is? God knows we all need a good body shop. But, does all this attention to maintenance distract you from what it feels like inside the car, or where that car is going? wisdomwell.modernelderacadem…

Conventional wisdom suggests creating slack to loosen a knot. Pushing slack into the knot can help unbind it. Unfortunately, we live in an era with very little slack. We don’t cut each other slack personally or politically &, hence, the knot gets tighter. wisdomwell.modernelderacadem…
First day of the rest of your life is when you realize you could DIE at any moment. Imagine you are on your deathbed thinking: “I never got made fun of because I never tried doing anything or taking any risks, good thing I played it safe!” Probably not.
