Here’s To A Better Me Ahead

Over the years I have lived and learned, many times the hard way…to the point where my new year resolutions now strike familiar, recurring themes. In 2015, I continue to aspire to…

• Forgive

• Do no harm

• Let go of the past

• Live in the moment

• Never settle for less

• Be gentle with myself

• Push the envelope further

• Be open to the possibilities

• Leave the world a better place

It’s a journey. I never see the finish line, but I never stop moving; I continue making gains. Isn’t that what resolutions are all about?

To whatever you choose to aspire in the new year, may you learn and grow and thrive as a result. And a year from now, may we both look back and appreciate how much farther we have come from where we are today. It may feel like a solitary journey…but the reality is we cannot make it on our own.

Here’s to a better me ahead.

The Journey Toward Servant Leadership

“Don’t feel bad if you haven’t mastered the shift from serving self to serving others. It’s a journey. I don’t know about you, but self-serving attitudes come naturally to me. Servant-leadership is aspiration more than destination.

You can preach service till you’re blue in the face, but humility changes everything. Arrogance serves self. Humility serves others. The more you contribute to something outside yourself the greater you become.

The journey toward servant-leadership is the path to profound impact and rich leadership. The thing that holds you back is focusing on your needs and wants. I’m not suggesting you become a martyr. Take care of you so you can take care of others.”
