Happy New Year! I pray that you were able to enjoy the holiday season with people that matter to you. I was able to spend quality time with my new bride as well as visiting with my family and hers. This time last year I did a blog series on my take of S.M.A.R.T. Goals. […]

Have you seen the meme that shows an open door marked 2022 and a bunch of people standing back away from it, pushing the door open slowly with a stick? Symbolizing, let’s move forward slowly because we don’t know what is behind the door? I pray that you are one of the people that will […]

I love helping entrepreneurs improve their teamwork. When I came across the Super Chicken concept again recently it pinged me as being totally relevant, especially right now with the state of the workplace. If you aren’t familiar with the Super Chicken I am going to give you a high-level look at the concept and then […]

Guest post from my friend, Kim Avery. I know that the world is a bit overwhelming right now. It seems like there’s bad news almost everywhere we turn. Almost everywhere… But, God Thankfully, as I look deeper, I also begin to notice all the ways that God is at work. In the hard places. In […]

Teamwork seems to be getting tougher and tougher, and more challenging to manage day by day: In July 2021, 4 million workers quit their jobs. Gallup says that only 34% of American workers are engaged in their jobs. (20% globally) Workers’ daily stress increased to 43% in 2020 Other stats are pretty bleak and can […]

Helping people find their God-given purpose is something I do, but it hasn't always been that way. I became a Christian in my 40’s and was baptized in 1998. A few years later the church I was part of closed and I joined a different church. One of the things that the new church encouraged […]

Thriving Teams! I came across a blog post recently that really got my attention. Even if you don’t read the blog post the title alone will likely cause you to ponder for a moment, it sure did me. “Help your employees find their purpose, or watch them leave.” Over the last year and a half, […]

Recently I was able to attend the Rare Leadership conference that helped me learn more about teamwork in an unexpected way. One of the speakers was Dr. Paul White. He is the co-author of the book, The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace: Empowering Organizations by Encouraging People. He co-authored it with Gary Chapman, […]
