    Conquering Coronavirus with Positive Thinking and Emotional Intelligence
    Apr 3 2020
    Let's face it, the Coronavirus has changed the world and we will get though this just like nations have gotten through pandemics in 1720 from the Bubonic Plague, 1820 from Cholera, and in 1920 from the Spanish Flu. Every hundred years the world goes through this and comes out better for it as we learn more about the previously unknown enemy. How will YOU get through this change to your life? The kids are home and you are the teacher. Your job is gone, your sports are gone, the bar is gone, and you have to deal with your loved ones face to face. You will only get through this with positive thinking and emotional intelligence. Remember that your thoughts become your words, become your actions, become your habits, become your character, becomes your destiny. Will you sit around and sulk about what is not instead of focusing on this unique opportunity we have before us?

  • Transformational Leadership - The Four I's Have It!!!

    Transformational Leadership - The Four I's Have It!!!
    Mar 27 2020
    The Coronavirus Crisis has forced leaders to prove their mettle. The new reality of working from home has hit some leaders like a ton of bricks. Some will come out of this better leaders and some will not be in leadership positions for too much longer. Transactional leadership has its place in some workplaces, but the majority of today's workforce needs leaders to be transformational. The Coronavirus has exposed a lot of leaders who may need to take a class in what it means to truly lead others or step away from their leadership positions. Titles don't make leaders, people do.

    Too many times employees stay in a toxic work environment because the employer has brainwashed them into thinking that they should be lucky to be getting paid. NEVER! You should never stay in any work environment that is toxic where employees feel that they can treat you any way they want because they pay the employee. I urge you to reevaluate your work environment; especially while you are working from home because of the Coronavirus, and look to leave if your environment is toxic.
