When people are free to show up as their most authentic selves, not needing to hide important aspects of who they are, they bring their very best energy, creativity, ideas, intellect, and work ethic to your organization.’

‘It’s important to show employees a clear path to continue their careers with your company with further education and training.’

‘We need to take a cold, hard look at what was and what is– and find the promise in what could be if we adapt.’

‘Instead of complaining about challenges, we need to embrace these moments as junctures in time for real, positive change.’

Ensure your onboarding is consistent– not dependent on who your new employee’s team leader is.’

‘Diversity leads to better decision making.’

Diversity and inclusion mean nothing without action. You must do more than simply share a rainbow during Pride month.’

Culture includes diversity, pathways, onboarding, and more– all the areas that contribute to what it is like to come aboard your company and stay there.’

There’s no magic wand to change a culture overnight- but culture can be shaped and changed by a company committed to change and making things better.’

You need a culture of respect, understanding, and learning. You need to continue to upskill your staff to make them better for your company and for themselves as individuals.’

Turning Excuses Into Results

Here is the good news: ‘You are the Source of Your Suffering- and That’s the Good News.’

Choose to be happy. ‘Happiness is not correlated to perfect circumstances or a lack of stress in your life, but to the amount of personal accountability you accept.’

Ask yourself, ‘What am I missing?’ Because ‘what is missing from a situation is that which you are not giving.’

Do not feed your ego. ‘A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul of a leader.’

Stay away from micromanaging people. ‘If you feel you have to over-manage or micromanage, it is because you are under-leading.’

Stop hiring and promoting the wrong people. ‘You will have problem employees for as long as you continue to hire them and put up with them.’

Take action. ‘It is nearly always action– not opinion- that adds the most value.’

Always do what you say you are going to do. Because ‘clarity is the source– not the product- of a highly efficient and successful team.’

Trust is a choice.’
