Do You Struggle to Say “No” to Your Team?
“Sometimes leadership means saying no when it would be so much easier to say yes.” - The Colonel https://vimeo.com/731152176 If you are a parent, I’m sure you have experienced this. As my two children grew into adulthood, I can’t count how many times I had to say...
Are You Working ON or TOWARD Something?
The Colonel said, “A manager will give you something to work on. A leader will give you something to work toward.” https://vimeo.com/727539006 Dad was very adamant about the difference between being a manager and being a leader. My work experience has proven him...
Do You Want to be Famous?
I think at one time or another every child dreams of being famous. I certainly did. (I wanted to be a theater and film star.) Few actually achieve global name recognition, and many who do are not leaders in any way. The good news is being a significant leader...
Do You Create the Greatness in Your Team?
The Colonel said, “Everyone has greatness in them, kid. You might have to dig deeper in some than in others to find it. You don’t have to create greatness in your team. You just gotta find it.” https://vimeo.com/724663190 So… I am an art history geek. In fact, my...

Are You Confused by Clutter?
The Colonel was very much a “cut to the chase” kind of thinker. He said, “Cut through the emotion, eliminate the ego, cut out the clutter and the answer will usually be there.” https://vimeo.com/717542451 Dad was adept at slicing through irrelevant details to get...
Do You Have Your Team’s Back?
The Colonel said, “One of the most important sentiments any leader can express to someone in their charge is: ‘I’ve got your back.’” https://vimeo.com/715614532 It is a leader's responsibility to be the first line of defense for our team. That means we never throw...
Do You Tell People What They Want to Hear?
Because I am inherently a people person (okay, guilty, I’m a people pleaser) – I have spent a good portion of my life and energy making sure people like me. Sometimes, in my younger years, this involved being agreeable and telling people what I knew they wanted to...
