Our Attitude – It’s with us Everywhere we go!

Our Attitude – It’s with Us Everywhere we go! Our attitude is with us wherever we go.  When we wake up, when in the car, when talking with a spouse or friend and everywhere else.  It’s a simple fact, no matter where we are our attitude comes along.  In a world where we often hear what’s wrong and what we’re not doing right, it’s easy […]

Communication – A New Perspective

Communication  –  Why is it so important? I once heard about a man and a women who were getting ready to get divorced.  At the hearing the judge asked the husband, “are you sure you want to go forward with this?”   The man said “Yes”, we haven’t communicated in years and my wife is always complaining about me.  The wife immediately rose up and said, […]

Courage from Responsibility

Courage can be defined as the ability to act in the midst of fear, discouragement, the unknown or when something traumatic or devastating has occurred. The Apostle Paul tells us in the book of Philippians, chapter 4 verse 13, “We can do All things through Christ who strengthens us”. I’ve found through my own failings and doubt that God, through His Son, Jesus can give […]

When the Storms Come!

As Hurricane Dorian approaches I am reminded that storms are part of life. It’s not if they’ll come, it’s when they’ll come.

Winds can be as strong as 200 miles per hour taking everything in they’re path. They are given names so we […]

One of the most important parts of leadership is accepting responsibility for problems under that manager’s or leader’s area of responsibility. Often in business a mindset is developed that is more about protecting turf instead of being honest and stepping up and assume responsibility.

COLLABORATION

I love the word and concept of collaboration.   I’ve found that by working with others I can accomplish much more than I can by myself.  Being part of a team, whether it be at work, in your family, at church or rooting for a sports team brings great reward and fulfillment. Who wants to do life all by themselves?  I have come to understand […]

EDIFICATION

Part of a servant’s heart is the opportunity to edify others. As we look to understand and serve others we can begin to see that our actions are influencing others for the better. Edification means taking time to observe, appreciate and acknowledge others actions. When someone receives a kind act or word, whether it be in writing or verbally, they often in turn do the […]

SERVANTS HEART

Reflecting back on my own personal as well as business life I have found that one of the most important aspects of building solid relationships and strong teams is having a servant’s heart toward others. A servant’s heart is a heart ready to put the interests of others first and one looking for opportunities to serve. When approaching any problem, project or opportunity look to […]
