SEEing to LeadMaximum EffortIt's really hard to tell if someone is giving their 100%. Why?Because we aren't them! 100% is a very personal measurement. We often know when we can do better, but don't want to admit it. So we make excuses. The best thing we can do is give 100% of what we can on that day in that moment. In other words, our "Maximum Effort". Doing that helps push past excuses and keeps us moving in the right direction through small steps.That direction you ask? Yeah... it's success.I appreciate you checking out...2024-10-3112 min

SEEing to LeadPrepareBen Franklin said it best. "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."There are many times in life when we hit a roadblock or some difficulty arises that stops us short of our goal. I don't see that as a failure, but instead a need for more preparation. The great thing about making goals and improvement about a process rather than a destination is that we can always go as far as we have prepared for and rather than stopping, feeling defeated, just step back and prepare some more.Looking at the improvement process in...2024-06-2006 min

Unfortunately, it sometimes deters us from even getting started. It's in that moment when the decision to just start or take another step is crucial to us achieving our goal.
