Will You Lean Into Momentum?

wes — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 13:12:18 +0000

One of the things that has shocked me was how old I was when I first read John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. I’m ashamed to admit that it was only a couple years ago. As I read about each law, so many of them made sense, but a ...

Want to Make 2021 Even Better?

wes — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 14:33:41 +0000

2020 was monumental, to say the least. But at the beginning of the shutdown, and throughout, my mantra was simple: this could be one of the worst things for us as individuals, or it could be one of the best.

Learn and Grow

wes — Thu, 30 May 2019 13:57:42 +0000

Short post today, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about mistakes and mishaps. I blog on this regularly, partly because it’s a fear of mine. I fear mistakes. I fear a mistake means I’m not good enough. I fear a mistake means I’m not valuable. Ultimately, I don’t fear ...

Stampede! Or, at least in my mind that’s what I thought was happening. Granted, now, I realize there was definitely a flare for the dramatic in my response, but I was still pretty green at the whole thing. We were “driving” cattle, which meant we were trying to move them ...

What was your biggest takeaway from 2017? Yes, that’s right, not 2018, but what did you learn from the effort you put forth in 2017? Do you have a formal review process to check over at the end of a year? Do you have an informal one? Do you have ...

Never Assume

wes — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 14:01:31 +0000

We have all been there: we make a decision about someone (their willingness or unwillingness to do something), and then are surprised when they contradict our expectations. The surprise can be good or bad, but it is a surprise either way. The reality is we can rarely know exactly how someone ...

2 Key Traits for Student Leaders

Have you ever noticed some people look at situations differently than you? A few years ago, I heard a radio personality talk about how science has proven women and men look at cleanliness differently. Women actually see dirt more easily than men. It’s not that they have some sort of ...
