Hi friends! I am back home from Washington D.C. and am getting back into the normal grind of life. The conference I went to was an exceptional conference with wonderful speakers and a fantastic exhibition hall. What was even better than all that was the chance that I had to network and connect with great people.

Tip of the Week

That brings me to the tip of the week. Always be prepared to get to know new people and network with them. When I talk about networking, I am referring to just getting to know people. Don’t be fake, put up a front, or try to be someone you are not. Instead, be your honest and true self.

Also, be a good conversationalist by asking focusing your attention on the other person. Ask them about their life. What are they excited about? What drives them to be their best self? What are their dreams and passions?

As you are sincere with people and truly work to get to know them, they will gain your trust and confidence. That’s where the saying comes in that people do business with those that they know and trust. They will also follow the leader they know and trust. So when you network, be your true self, learn about the other person, and don’t just push your agenda.

Sneak Peek

Alright, in today’s episode, we’ll discuss how to meditate and the benefits of regular meditation.

A Story of Meditation

Before we get to that, I want to share a story I pulled from the website called The Guided Meditation Site by Caz also known as Victoria. She said:

I began meditating ten years ago. Here’s my journey to meditation and a fulfilling, happy life. [Read more…] about Podcast Episode #57 – Finding Peace Through Meditation

Tip of the Week

Alright, as we are going into the summer, I want to share a small tip that can make all the difference in how each day goes for you. It’s a thought that was shared with me many years ago and it changed my outlook on life.

Everyday your attitude is a choice. Good and bad things will happen to you. Life is not always easy. You will likely experience difficult challenges. There will hopefully also be some wonderful great days ahead of you as well.

Through all that, no one can make you be happy, mad, sad, angry, or have any other emotion. How you feel and the choices you make are 100% within your control. [Read more…] about Podcast Episode #56 – Surround Yourself With Great People

Tip of the Week

Hi friends! I hope you are doing well and enjoying life. Today, I want to start with a quick tip. As a leader or as a follower, it is so important to have patience, understanding, and just be kind.

Most leaders sincerely care about the well-being of those they lead. They work hard and do their very best. Give them the benefit of the doubt and don’t be overly critical.

If you don’t understand why they are doing something a certain way, just ask them. You never know what demands, challenges, or difficulties they face, so be understanding, patient, and try to put yourself in their shoes.

Sneak Peek

In today’s episode, we are going to look at types of feedback, how to request and give it, and four groups from which to ask feedback.
