Happy Thanksgiving week. I pray that you are able to spend time with people that matter to you over the next few days. I am taking most of the week off, however, I wanted to post this blog that I found recently that I thought was interesting. It may be helpful for you. If you read it, I would love [...]

Last week was the monthly meeting I host called, The 3 C’s: Charity, Connections, Civility. In my opinion, it was the best one so far. We had a great conversation that resulted in some pretty interesting take-aways. The 4 main take-aways were: Recognize and acknowledge when people do something right [...]

I have written many blogs and done several videos about how important connections are. Today more than ever, I believe that is true. We all have connections. Some are family, friends, co-workers, people from church or volunteer organizations. How many different kinds of connections do you have? I have worked in IT for 4+ decades, [...]

When you hear the phrase, “hope for the best and prepare for the worst”, what do you think of? I think of how unrealistic those two extremes are. The best and the worst are really not likely going to be the real life outcome. Our country is more divided than ever. It is heartbreaking in so [...]

I saw a funny meme this week that said, “We are officially in the fourth quarter of 2020, let’s hope we are playing the Cowboys”. That is a little bit funny, even for this DFW resident. 2020 has been a rough year for many and for others it has been a wonderful year full of [...]

Last week we talked about the 4 different domains in the WeAlign StrengthsFinder coaching process. Thinking (T) Executing (E) Relating (R) Influencing (I)  I mentioned that I was a blend of the four domains. I have 14 talents that are considered my “signature” [...]

If you have been following me you know more than most people about the StrengthsFinder coaching process. One of the things that I mention sometimes is the term “domain”. However, I realized recently that I haven’t spent any time explaining what the domains are. Today’s blog post will be short while being informative to help you understand how WeAlign uses [...]

What if we could: Replace fear with JOY Replace shouting with LISTENING Replace arguments with MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING Would the world be a better place? Last month I hosted the 1st monthly 3-C’s zoom [...]

Happy October everyone! Wow, time really has flown this year. I pray that even with the craziness of this year you have been able to keep your joy and find value in the moments God has given you to connect with the people in your life.  With all the social distancing and not being able to meet in person [...]

Last week I shared a little bit with you about why knowing more than your top 5 strengths would be helpful.  Did you do the homework of evaluating your strengths and choose one area that you might want to work on to do better? I have learned that there are some things that I am just not good at and trying to be [...]

StrengthsFinder is more than the top 5. Millions of people have taken the StrengthsFinder profile and most of them have only got their top 5 results, not the “full 34” complete list. Very few people have ever had any coaching around their results which means they likely got the results, read them, and then put them in a drawer somewhere [...]

Over the last few weeks, I have been sharing about what it means to be a Civil Grace Giver. If you have missed either of the two blog posts I would encourage you to go back and read them to have a full understanding of the concept. Civil Grace Giver Part 1 Civil Grace Giver Part [...]
