WITH INTENTION BLOG
Finally, the day is here! After an 18-month process and really a lifetime dream of being a published author, my book, With Intention, launches this week! We’re doing an official kickoff Tuesday night at 8pm EST. I can’t thank YOU enough for your support! The fact that you’ve...
Thought: October is Mental Health Awareness month. I’m glad we have a month to shine a light on this important topic, however, every day should be mental health awareness day if you ask me. We’ve all been through a challenging couple of years and every single person on this planet...
Thought: We had over a dozen customers in our Chicago office this week for an advisory council. Due to Covid, this was the first time we’ve hosted the meeting live in our office since 2019. I was once-again reminded of the positive energy that comes from having people together. The energy...
Thought: Getting better at anything starts with knowing you where your starting line is. Awareness is the first step. There are many ways to find awareness. You can simply jot down what you think your strengths, weaknesses or opportunities are. You can ask others what they think. There are plenty...
Inspiration: I have the privilege of chairing a golf outing each year for a non-profit, Creative Living. We raise money to help our 34 residents, who are physically disabled, live independently with the help of a 24/7 resident assistant program. I get to emcee the program after the outing and the...
Thought: This week, I had the chance to record the audio book of With Intention. We were in the studio for almost two full days. It was way more exhausting than I thought but it was a good exhaustion. My biggest learning through this eighteen-month book writing process – keep showing up and...
Thought: My wife, Michelle, was a school teacher before we had kids. She used to always talk about micro-movements, which is breaking things down to smaller chunks to complete it. It’s a powerful concept. My high school English teacher, Brother Joe, taught us a concept called Divide and...
Thought: I’ve had a couple meetings with clients lately where we’ve talked a lot about their vision for the future. I feel like the last couple years have put many of us, including me, in survival mode and not thinking enough about the future. It’s time to change that....
Thoughts: I’m very close to finishing my book – it’s gone to final editing! I’m very excited to get out in the wild and add value to the world (and, you!). I’ve learned a lot through this process. It was hard and fun at the same time. Much like running a marathon...
Idea: The more authentic and vulnerable you are, the more trust you will build.
Quote: “Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of...
Thought: Our sales team got together live this week as a group. We talked business, of course, but most importantly, we connected and had some fun together. Building connection and trust is such a game changer when it comes to any team. Everyone is spread throughout the country so getting...
Thought: The world tells us to go, go, go. While I’m a believer in hard work, getting to the next level is often times more about slowing down, than speeding up.
Quote: “The player of the inner game comes to value the art of relaxed concentration above all other skills; he discovers a...
