Extreme Weather:  This winter, we have had some very different weather.  One day it is -45 with the wind chill, the next day it is +4 and melting.  People have missed more work this year than in the past due to the extreme winter conditions in our area.  People are stuck at home, as they […]

Encouragement:  What comes to mind when you think of this word? The word that comes to mind when I think of encouragement is support – positive support. I am fortunate that I am surrounded by people who encourage me on a regular basis.  We encourage each other – to be better, to try new things, […]

Prioritizing:  How do you prioritize things in your day? Do you use a certain software? Do you use your calendar? Do you use your phone? Do you use a list?

Dream:  Sometimes in our life, it can be next to impossible to dream.   One day rolls into the next, and the next, etc.  We get into the pattern of existing and surviving and lose hope in our dreams. What are your dreams?  What do you hope for?  What have you hoped for? Questions to Ponder: […]

Appreciation:  How do you show appreciation to your staff members, co-workers, couriers, etc. We take many things for granted during the day that others do for us.

Freedom in work:  When I say this, I am meaning freedom and trust in the position that the employee holds. When you trust in your employee’s capabilities, you give them the freedom to complete their jobs or tasks with little supervision and no micromanagement. When you do not have that level of trust, either in […]

Valentine’s Day:  Soon another Valentine’s Day will be here. It is a day that has been exploited by many retailers. What do you normally do for Valentine’s Day?  What would you prefer to do instead? When I lived in Mexico, I found this day to be more enjoyable.  They celebrate it a bit differently than […]

Communication is an essential part to: Relationships Resolution Teamwork Understanding Concepts Relating Conflict Without communication we really have nothing. You can’t relate to your spouse, partner, […]

Determination:  Certain things bring out our determination more than others. Being determined keeps you motivated to finish and complete a particular mission, idea or thought. Being determined helps assist in achieving goals and deadlines.  It helps you to achieve things both professionally and personally. Professionally, it can aid in your promotion, position and respect within […]

Depression:  This topic came up yesterday when we had some company over.  They came over to be in a different environment other than their house. Covid, the past two years, and the harsh winter we have been having has contributed to more depression than ever, in my opinion. People have gotten the vaccine with the […]

Motivation:  What motivates you and keeps you motivated? Sometimes it is easy to be motivated and other times, oh man, it is so hard to get going – no matter what time of day. If we could just capture that moment when we are highly motivated and stay, there but we can’t.  It comes and […]
