Career leadership 201:

  • Put contribution ahead of pay
  • Love what you do
  • Live within your means
  • Continuously improve
  • Have fun
  • .think .differently
  • Lean into discomfort
  • Envision a future that’s not only better than now, but much better
  • Develop others
  • It is definitely about who you know – get to know a lot of people and the right people

The list goes on, which is why the next blog about personal organization is critical.

You were born for 2019

 

You were born for 2019.

Being the hungriest has its advantages

personal, motivation
You are the CEO of You, Inc. Motivation is your second greatest asset.

 

There is always going to be someone as hungry, and probably hungrier, than you.

Being the hungriest has its advantages.

It’s what has allowed me to get to where i am.

It’s what potentially allows others to take my spot in the business category i claim.

Impossible is the only thing that truly stirs human souls

colleges that change lives
Colleges that change lives. How cool is that? Magical?

 

Goucher College study abroad
Goucher has 100% study abroad.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
Mr Incredible…seems like a perfect reference for a college that changes lives.

 

Impossible is the only thing that truly stirs human souls.

The thought of lifting yourself (and others) to a better situation or reality is inspiring.

Curing the incurable.

Leading the un-leadable.

Transforming an addiction into a lifetime recovery.

Eliminating poverty.

Eliminating injustice.

And on and on.
