Blog postLast week I put out A message on the top 5 reasons I tell myself to “Bring The Joy” before every speech I give:
1. It lessens the pressure you put on yourself to deliver outcomes
2. When you have fun, the audience has fun (people around you have fun)
3. It’s 100% controllable
4. Helps with paralysis-by-analysis and fixating on what to say, when
5. The world needs more joy!
I asked which reason you thought was most important and MANY people responded (th -
Blog postI posted the following picture and caption on LinkedIn earlier this week and I thought it could serve you:
One of the last things I tell myself before I take the stage for any speech is to "Bring The Joy." Why? There are actually quite a few reasons:
1. It lessens the pressure you put on yourself to deliver outcomes
2. When you have fun, the audience has fun
3. It's 100% controllable
4. Helps with paralysis-by-analysis and fixating on what to say, w -
Blog postA simple story for your day…
The “boss” was nice enough to give me the afternoon off today, so I took advantage of a beautiful MN day and went for a bike ride.
It’s hot and I stopped in a suburb called Hamel about halfway through the ride to get water and Gatorade.
The cashier saw me ride in and lean my bike on the side of the gas station. Then, when I walked in wearing my bike jersey, bike shoes, bike helmet, and set my fluids on the counter, he says to me:

Blog postLast week I was off on a bucket-list vacation. I spent 9 days on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Sea of Galilee – all places of which I’ve read and heard but never seen. To try to put it into words is almost impossible.
I've debated about the message for this post. I could easily talk about historical significance, or spiritual significance, or both, by I simply come back to the famous quote by Oliver Wendell Hol -
Blog postLast week I had one of my most significant and meaningful speaking engagements. It was for League of Minnesota Cities, an organization of appointed and elected city officials.
There were 500ish people in the crowd and I had the closing keynote.
As a native Minnesotan and someone that will always call the state “home,” it was so impactful because these people are the ones shaping the future of Minnesota, especially in small towns like Albany, where I was born and raised.

Blog postLast week I put out a message on my recent surgery and I heard back from many people. Thanks for the support! All continues to be well
However, I had a call with a coaching client on Wednesday and, unbeknownst to me, he’d had the same surgery a few years ago.
He said:
“I’ve got to be honest with you, you’re only halfway there. Your work is just getting started.”
(hehe…thanks a lot, John!)
What he meant – and what I’ve noticed – is that surgery is just t -

Blog postIt has certainly been an “interesting” couple of weeks for yours truly. Yes, I had surgery. And if you would like the scoop, here ya go…raw and uncensored:
See, I’ve been struggling to breathe for longer than I want to admit, particularly through my nose.
I just assumed everyone else was operating like I was – ping ponging between chronically congested and severe nasal drainage.
So I approached it like I do most things: suck it up and push through it.
But it st -
Blog postI saw a post on LinkedIn this week about vacations and burnout. I can’t reference the exact study but it said only 28% of people actually use all of their vacation days in a given year and when most decide to take a vacation, they feel MORE burned out when they come back than when they left.
Why?
Much of it is the feeling of being “half on,” meaning you’re still tethered to your job while you’re sipping that Mai Tai on the beach.
Now not only do you never fully recharg -

Blog postI had a leadership training in Fergus Falls, MN, last week and I asked a question to the audience:
What ONE word describes the best version of you and how you want to show up in the world?
I’ve probably asked this question to hundreds of audiences yet a gentleman raised his hand and said something I’d never heard before:
“Satisfied.”
Now, be honest, when you hear “satisfied,” what comes to mind?
Lazy? Complacent? Lacking motivation?
I’d be lying -
Blog postIt’s not what you do SOME of the time. It’s what you do MOST of the time that matters.
I’ve been saying that phrase for years and it becomes clearer to me every day.
I cannot think of a single purposeful endeavor in which consistency isn’t an essential ingredient for success.
Very different from the motivational mantra of, “massive action solves all problems.”
Massive action is great but only insofar as it’s sustainable. Otherwise, small actions stacked up over -
