Your First Success Tip For Innovating in the Workplace

There is one thing you need to learn and state at the outset of any project or plan. What does success look like? It’s a common, clarifying question – so much so that it’s a little ubiquitious and meaningless at times. But stay with me. When you are assigned a project, or are trying to come up with a new product or solution, what’s the first thing you want to do to ensure success? As a storyteller, I know that there’s the story you see (action in the plot) and the story you feel (the emotional character arc).

How to Bring Generosity Into the Workplace

There are some behaviors in the workplace that elevate everyone and make them feel more positive. One of them is generosity. Generosity is about how you give and serve others at work whether employees, vendors, or customers.

And he’s super chatty, like a middle-school bully that never misses an opportunity to taunts us. He’s really just a scared brat, but boy does he seem to make good points. That’s a bad idea. You’ll look stupid. You’ll be embarrassed. It’s never been done before. You’re biting off too much. You’re going to fail. You’re not going to succeed. You’re going to waste your time. You’re going to waste someone else’s time. What makes you think you can do it? And on… Right? Just stop imagining things that don’t exist. Focus on now….Read More

7 Habits to Make Every Day the Best Possible

Holidays are not for everyone. When you like them, there’s usually a lot of work involved to decorate, shop, cook and take care of everyone else. When you don’t like them, it’s hard to appreciate that you don’t need to shop or cook or even decorate for anyone. A lot of people are alone, lost a loved one, lost a job, lost a marriage, have kids not coming home, or are housebound by illness and age. Loneliness and depression hit even harder this time of year. So, what can you do? Well, here are some choices. I recommend all of them every day! 1-Pray: Just talk to God. Lay out the hard, the ugly, the sad, the angry, the disappointments….Read More

Forgiveness Sets You Free

Forgiving before Thanksgiving The holiday season is upon us and we will soon be sharing more time with loved ones. And there will also be the people who makes us crazy. Sometimes they are one and the same. There’s a saying, “Your parents know how to press all your buttons because they’re the ones who installed them.” Truth! This is where forgiveness comes in. If you truly want love, good cheer and joy to flow through you and around you this season, then make sure there isn’t anything inside you that is blocking it.
