Leadership

How simple it is, beautifully simple

Change is hard and requires patience.

Greetings each other is the baseline for happiness!!! Its so touching story. simple greeting, can have such profound effects on people's lives. Sometimes, it's the seemingly insignificant gestures that make the biggest difference. By exchanging greetings, we not only spread positivity but also create connections and build a sense of community. It's a reminder of the power of human connection and the ripple effect of kindness.

TRUE - - - It is time, isn't it? TIP: our only point of 'control' is the present. 🕒 If we wait for 'someone else' to take a stand or push back against dishonorable behavior, nothing will change. Over nearly a decade, I've witnessed and experienced what I define as 'Systemic Avoidance of Duty' (SAD) within Management, HR, and Unions. 😔 The truly SAD aspect is that those who perpetuate this toxicity may not realize how much better their work and career experiences could be. It often functions as a trauma response. We should expect and demand more from those entrusted with 'The Public Trust,' especially when they violate that trust. ⚖️ It has to stop. The data supports this. There's no cost savings or financial benefit to maintaining a toxic environment—it merely reinforces undiagnosed narcissism or sociopathy among those in power, who pretend to be 'doing their job' when they are not. 🚫 Transforming toxic operations into healthy environments is always a win:win. The problem is, those guilty are afraid of being exposed. From a POTU perspective, demanding punitive measures only perpetuates 'Structural Violence'. We need to make it safe for change to happen. The problem with SAD is that it's all about using 'force' and abusing 'power', rather than stewarding power to create a non-toxic environment. 💪 When refusal to end toxicity persists, external oversight and litigation become necessary for positive change, which should be unnecessary among fair-minded and reasonable people. If policy and justice fail, depending on the severity of the harm caused, human beings eventually rebel when they lose faith in the systems supposedly preventing SAD. 🔥 We enjoy fictions like 'The Punisher' and 'The Equalizer' because they address unchecked corruption that leads to toxic, and eventually criminal, activities. Such corruption evolves when we fail to challenge SAD in our lives, work, and careers. Being a business owner, for example, does not grant the right to be abusive. 👊 We have a lot of work to do. It begins by each of us taking personal responsibility to expose, challenge, and say 'no' to SAD when it shows up. It also involves documenting events in support of those targeted and being an honorable 'witness' to those who dare to stand against it. 🛡️ Too many people are waiting for 'someone else' to act, while merely complaining. That does not work. 💬 - POTU David 💖 Love/Like, 🔁 Repost/Share, 💬 Comment with your thoughts, share.

Laughter, often dubbed "the best medicine," is more than just a response to humor; it's a universal language with profound benefits for the mind and body. When we laugh, our brain releases endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals, which promote an overall sense of well-being and can temporarily relieve pain. Laughter also reduces stress hormones, decreases anxiety, and can improve immune function by increasing the production of antibodies and activating immune cells. Interestingly, laughter has social benefits too. It's a powerful bonding tool that can strengthen relationships, enhance teamwork, and diffuse conflict. Shared laughter fosters emotional connections and can increase feelings of empathy and trust among individuals. Studies even suggest that laughter can improve cardiovascular health by increasing blood flow and improving the function of blood vessels. A hearty laugh can provide a workout for the diaphragm and abdominal muscles, similar to the benefits of a light exercise session. So, whether through a funny movie, a comedian, or a good joke with friends, finding ways to incorporate more laughter into your daily life can contribute to a happier, healthier existence. Get your laugh on! 😂

Small gesture can be life changing

The more we the better we evaluate our experience and outcomes.

The wisdom of Maya Angelou is known globally and her impact is unquestionable. I was drawn to this quote while thinking about my own coaching journey, and my Why? I began coaching in the 1990s, while leading and building my team of distributors to 300 throughout the UK. The challenges weren't just about maintaining the channels of communication so that I was available to support the individual dustributor when they need it, the reliance on being available, and ready to roll up my sleeves and get stuck in to help members of my team who themselves wanted to build their teams, and mainly at the weekends. This meant extensive weekend travel to various locations in the UK. However, my biggest challenge of all was running that business and bringing up a young family concurrently. I will always remember the struggles to find suitable and trustworthy cover to take care for my children, and if I ever had a reason to give up that would have been it. Balancing the love for my children and the love for what I did, helping others succeed, was at times like climbing a mountain without the correct tools, harnesses, helmets, etc. This had brought me to many crossroads, where my decision-making ability often under went much scrutiny. On every occasion, the decision was, giving up 'is not an option! ' What helped me to continue to do what I loved were - having a mentor, who was also my accountability partner - having a plan - gaining the knowkedge of how to execute my plan - having and exercising self-belief and self-discipline - building resilience and faith - doing the work required Looking back, I feel a sense of achievement and satisfaction that I helped my team and, myself, to reach some big goals/milestones in business, and being recognised and awarded for our achievenents, many times over. This is because I had pursued doing what I love.
