Leadership & Friendship Go Hand In Hand


One of the questions that I’m asked most often is: should leaders be friends with the people they lead? Or should they maintain a distance that prevents sentiment getting in the way of judgment?

Here’s my unequivocal response: friendship and leadership are inseparable. A friend is someone who cares deeply about others, and so is a leader. A friend is someone who puts others’ well-being ahead of his or her own and so is a leader. A friend is someone who others depend on and so is a leader. A friend makes it fun to be around him or her and so does a leader. A friend is someone who others choose to spend time with and so is a leader.

Business is all about feelings.


Carl Buechner said that “people will forget what you say; they will forget what you do; but they will never forget how you made them feel!”

Do you remember the best boss you ever had?

But wait, there’s more: I want you to keep it OFF for one full day. Yes indeed I formally declare the first ever “National Disconnect to Re-engage Day”.

The Power of Small Wins: Search, Stretch, Savour, Sustain


It’s Leap Year Day. Ever wondered why we need it? Leap Years keep the calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the sun. It takes the Earth 365.242 days to circle once around the Sun. If we didn’t add a day on February 29 every 4 years, we would lose six hours every year. After 100 years, the calendar would be off by 24 days.

So what’s the moral of the story? We’re all part of the global revolution. We have a personal rhythm that must synchronize with our environment. We’re either becoming our best, or we’re drifting. It only takes a tiny lag every day to be off by a lot in our lifetime.

Are you Serious about Your Success?


I was talking to another professional speaker the other day and we both observed how often it is that the clients who really need us never seem to be the ones who book us. Conversely, it’s often the clients who already excel at customer service that hire more customer service training or the businesses that are known for their fun that hire humor in the workplace speakers.
