How high are your standards? I’ve learned that the true benchmark of success is not who I can surpass, but how consistently I am reaching and exceeding my own high standards. Standards are not easily tossed aside or broken. They ought to be non-negotiable. In fact, a standard that can
Today, enthusiastically and gratefully celebrate that I woke up. Today, begin by loving myself, then let that same love guide how I treat others (regardless if they deserve it or not). Today, do one thing for one customer, with absolute perfection…then repeat. Today, tell one colleague that I value them and why.

If anyone is going to do a shortcut, it won’t be me. I refuse to do my job half-way. Not today. There are all kinds of ways for things to go wrong. Let them be accidents. I will not allow myself to intentionally do less than I am capable of doing.

What should we do when we know exactly what to do, but still don’t do it? What should we do when we know precisely what NOT to do, but do it anyway?♂️ What should we do when we THOUGHT we were in control, but come to find out that we
What is your name? How do you say it? How do you spell it? Is your voice strong when you say it? Or does it waver? No matter what you may think, your name means something. It’s a declaration that you are here and are meant to be acknowledged. Otherwise,
If I want to make you feel recognized, then I should know what makes YOU feel recognized. It may sound like common sense, but I can assure you that it’s not common at all. Recognition is not about the giver; it is about the recipient. Years ago, when I was
