162. The Gift of Feedback
Get Your Mind On
I’m sure all of us have had times where we didn’t want to hear feedback from someone, but it made a difference for us in the future. Maybe it was a time when you needed to hear that you interrupt your colleagues often at work, or maybe your partner doesn’t get enough words of affirmation from you. Maybe your kids will tell you that you spend too much time answering emails while you’re at home instead of playing with them. Whether we’re at work, with family members, or friends, we get feedback all the time that we can react negatively to, or that we can accept it and implement it. How...

161. Love is in the Air...Is It?
Get Your Mind On
We just celebrated Valentine's Day and many of you most likely have love on your mind. You may have bought flowers for a significant other or a friend, while others opted to get the chocolate (even if it was just for yourself). But how can we focus more on love every day and ensure it starts with us first. Valentine's Day is focusing on loving a partner, but do you ensure that you are loving yourself first? I want you to take a moment to think about that today. Let's dive into this week's Get Your Mind On podcast to talk about love. ******************** Visit to receive...

160. Delegate and Celebrate
Get Your Mind On
If you remember back to our last episode, I discussed the concept of a to-don't list. This is a list of items we need to evaluate and pass along so that we can focus our attention on the tasks we personally need to accomplish. Is this list growing for you? Are you looking at everything in your life and realizing there are pieces sucking up your time and attention? Hopefully, your to-don't list is growing and your to-do list is shrinking and narrowing its focus. As evaluate our to-don't list, Iet’s talk this week about how we can take those responsibilities and obligations and adequately...

159. What's on Your To-Don't List?
Get Your Mind On
Are you optimizing it to the highest productivity that you're capable of? We all have full authority to do what we'd like with our time. You are in control of your life and your 24 hours. But what if you fell off track or that you can't control your time? Whether it's family time, work schedules, or items on your to-do list that are restricting you from accomplishing the aspirations you've set for yourself. Maybe you should think about how to fix your time or items you need to say no to. Or put differently, maybe items you should put on your to-don't list. What's a to-don't list? I'm sure many...

158. Smart vs SmartER!
Get Your Mind On
What are you doing today to fulfill everything you would like to accomplish this year? With the beginning of a new year, many of us have the desire to succeed. You may have set resolutions or goals, or even aligned with a word for your year. But now that we're halfway through the month, are you still on track? Did you miss a day or two of working out? Did you eat that donut you claimed you wouldn't touch? Did you get caught up in work responsibilities and forget to spend the time you wanted with your children? I want you to give yourself grace and listen to this week's podcast. I spent...

157. Where are You in 2021?
Get Your Mind On
When we think about a new year with new goals and plans, we sometimes use it as an exciting restart. Resolutions are created to change up what we did last year and become the best person we can this year. Even though 2020 may not have been exactly like we all planned, you probably learned something valuable from it. How did you grow from last year? What new and exciting opportunities are created for you this year? I want you to take the opportunity to look at the plans you've set for yourself this year, give yourself some grace on accomplishing them, and then looking forward to what you can do...

156. Developing or Enabling
Get Your Mind On
When have you taken the time to develop someone around you? Was it a co-worker, a mentorship opportunity, or in your life with your children? Having the opportunity to develop others allows us to share our knowledge and enjoy the blessing of being able to impose wisdom on others. I've had the experience in my life to see the impact that's been made when people have great connections in their lives who work to develop them in all facets of life. But sometimes it can be unhealthy. What may be an ideal relationship could turn into an experience where they become reliant on...

155. Overcoming Your Distractions!
Get Your Mind On
Are you naturally in the zone and driven to where you're headed? Or do you get sidetracked by other daily obligations that derail you from responsibilities you may need to complete? Regardless of where we are in life, we each have unique distractions. A task that may come easy to one person may be difficult for another. As our lives are constantly changing these days, new distractions will begin to emerge. Some of you are probably still working from home when you did not expect that to be the case at the beginning of 2020. Since these occurrences can lower our...

153. The Impact of Engagement and Wellbeing
Get Your Mind On
How does engagement impact the wellbeing of your people? In this pandemic we are living in, we are focused on how we can operate successfully as companies. Many people are asking if their company can stay afloat? Can you keep all of our staff? Can we keep our production open? How is work at home affecting our employee's engagement? Take a moment to put that aside and think about the wellbeing of your employees. This week, I have the privilege of speaking with Dan Witters, Principal and Research Director of Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, about how we can...
info_outlineWhat are your plans to graduate?
Are you supporting someone in this unique time who is graduating?
Life is very different right now, especially for all of those high school or college seniors who are having to have on-line or postponed graduation. If you think about graduations, they are showcased as the culmination of years of school to celebrate the accomplishment. Students all over the world are adapting to not being able to celebrate as they assume or maybe have to start their freshman year in a different way. How can we help them during this time? This week, I bring my friend and colleague Bill Lewis in to join us to discuss how we can help those students graduating.
