As a father, I’m amazed at the life lessons I learn from observing my kids. This week I was able to take my 5-year-old, Piper, to her tumbling class. Here were a few of my observations: • During warm-ups she consistently stayed in front of the class, dialed in and treating everything as a “race”. • When learning a new technique, she was ALWAYS the first to raise her hand volunteering to try. What makes this even more inspiring to me, is this was only her 3rd week in the class since being moved up from a lower level. Not only was she leading, but among peers older and more experienced than she is. What did I learned watching my daughter Piper? 1 - You lead by example. Regardless of current title, tenure, or experience, leadership is reflective of actions. 2 - Be courageous and don’t let fears of failure or less experience prevent you from “raising your hand”. 3 - Life is about progression over perfection, and the only way you progress is by allowing yourself to experience the uncomfortable amidst imperfection. #SalesExcellence #CreateGrowth

It was an honor to take my son to support his grandpa at the Lott Trophy Awards Dinner. It was awesome to meet all the finalist and learn more about their greatness both on and off the gridiron. What makes the award so special is the focus on celebrating the success of the best college defensive players have achieved on the field as well as off. The four core values of the award are Stewardship, character, integrity, and excellence. These values are not just key to being successful in sports but are indispensable for a thriving business. Stewardship involves responsible resource management and contributing to the well-being of society, which is increasingly vital in today's complex ownership structures Character and integrity are the cornerstones of trust and ethical leadership, essential for fostering a positive work culture and long-term success Furthermore, excellence, coupled with fairness and customer service, is a hallmark of a successful business, contributing to its reputation and impact on the community By prioritizing these values, businesses can build trust, enhance their reputation, and ultimately achieve sustained success.

LET'S DO SOME JUDGING.... 🔵 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7 Well, indeed.... 🔵 How guilty are we of judging others through the most harsh lens when we have not applied the same scrutiny to our own behaviours? 🔵 Passing judgement can be easy to do but what's harder is judging fairly. What went well and what could be improved? I am lucky enough to be one of the judges looking at entries submitted for this year's SimplyIC Awards. 🔵 Internal communication is no easy job. There's always someone or even groups of stakeholders who have nothing but bad things to say about the communication they and other colleagues receive. 🔵 But how often do they consider the usual lack of resources, budget, and team members? How many people can cut diamonds with a pair of children's scissors from WHSmith? 🔵 I'm always amazed at the valiant efforts of the many hard working and committed internal communicators doing wonderful things in many different industries and environments. It's always a pleasure and never a chore. Looking forward to the ceremony at the end of November. #awards #simplys #internalcomms
