Well, today was fun! I had the privilege of working with one of our most interesting clients. They gave me a tour of their best in class, high security, training facility. They even let me experience their simulation room. Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed in that part of the facility. If there were, we would have captured me jump-scaring myself when they let me initiate a trip and the sirens went off. 🤣 Thank you for the amazing experience!

Thank you Brittainy Charette, PsyD for inviting us to be a part of such a special week. Geoff Goetz and I are honored to work with this group of exceptional leaders through their learning journey over the next several months. You are a rockstar! Every detail of this week was thoughtful and intentional. You created an amazing experience for each leader and for us. Christine (Chris) Baron (she/her) and I are grateful for the friendship and the partnership. #leadershipdevelopment #highperformance #achievesystem

This week ended with an exclamation point. Over the last several months, I’ve had the privilege of working with a group of high performing senior leaders. This was a group of leaders who were well respected and accomplished. My job was to provide them with some new high performance tools and a framework to help them tackle various business challenges and to help them show up even stronger under pressure. On Thursday, they graduated and it was an honor to hear them share their journey of high performance with their ELT. Thank you to the WEX GMs for your trust in me and for the effort that each of you put into your journey. Thank you to Michelle Braden, MBA and Brittainy Charette, PsyD for your partnership. Lastly, thank you to my partner in crime Christine (Chris) Baron (she/her).

Purpose… This has been coming up a lot recently in my coaching sessions with senior and executive leaders. Do your team members have a strong purpose? Have you asked them to share their purpose with you or with the team? High performers have a strong purpose. A strong purpose can help us stay motivated and energized. More importantly, it helps us move forward when we experience adversity vs. getting mired in the thick of it. If your team doesn’t have a strong purpose, help them connect to one or help them create one.

I spent the last week with college kids and I learned something new. In a group conversation, I overheard them describe someone as an “NPC.” All of them knew what it meant, but I had never heard that term before. I asked them to explain. NPC stands for non-playable character… it’s the character in the background of a video game. I was still confused. Why is that a term that people use to describe someone? They explained further. This may be a person who… -doesn’t stand out from the crowd -never has an original thought -is overly dependent on others I did a little bit of research and apparently, the younger generations may describe themselves as an NPC at work if they are micro-managed or also if they are quiet-quitting. The more you know… You’re welcome:)) #npc #quietquitting #micromanagement

This tickled me…

It took 7 years of virtual friendship that started on LinkedIn to meet in person. Catherine de la Poer loved collaborating with you this week in Manchester. Dylan Jones thank you for inviting us to work with your leaders. Such a special and talented team!

This is the work! I love what I do. Helping leaders and teams optimize the work they do to maximize and accelerate results is very rewarding.
