You can’t control what people say. But you can control how you respond. Comments, feedback, opinions- Some helpful, some hurtful. If we react emotionally to every little thing, we suffer. We hand over control to others. Leadership isn’t about reacting. It’s about pausing. Observe with logic, not emotion. And choose where to place your energy. If words control you, everyone can control you. Not every battle is worth fighting. Not every word deserves your attention. The real power is knowing when to walk away. Restraint is a muscle. It takes practice, but it’s one worth building. Here’s how to practice it: 1️⃣ Pause before replying to that frustrating email. 2️⃣ Reflect on whether an offhand remark deserves your energy. 3️⃣ Breathe through tense moments - inhale, exhale, and let go. 4️⃣ Reset your mindset before responding thoughtfully. Leaders are made in moments of restraint. Breathe. Let things pass. How do you stay calm before reacting? ♻️ Repost to help others. Follow Dane Tang for Culture and Well-Being tips.

We need to re-learn some PTO best practices. Especially you real estate professionals out there: "Real estate professionals are the most likely to feel guilty for taking time off (48%)" Dolce far niente! #BeIntentional #BeAccountable #KeepGoing #BeGoodPeople

Rest is so important. It can be difficult (impossible) to compartmentalize everything going on in your life to focus on your work priorities. We all have a lot going on. Daily routines, obligations, relationships. Just making it to the end of the day can be a huge accomplishment some days. Even worse - when you log off for the day, it's difficult to leave 100% of work behind. Not just the stress of deadlines and expectations - but the emotional toll of the relationships we have at work. Work can be a place to find connection and community. A place to find friendship and comradery. And with those connections comes the emotional toll that human connection can bring with it. For all of the joy, happiness, excitement, and laughter - there are inevitably moments of loss, sadness, anger, and grief. People who work at companies with tight-knit cultures have been through it. It can be an incredible support system - but also a source of stress and sadness. Especially as you take on leadership roles. It's a lot to handle. It can take a toll. Some days, weeks, and months - it starts to feel overwhelming. Like everything is hitting you all at once. Murphy's law. Pause. Rest. When you feel like you can't. You can. You're trying to do too much. It's always okay to prioritize yourself. I promise. Whatever deliverables and deadlines you are focused on - whatever it is that is going to crash and burn if you stop giving it all of this time and attention - It's going to be okay. Let it crash and burn. You are more important. Today is a great day to plan your next vacation. #BeIntentional #BeAccountable #KeepGoing #BeGoodPeople

Be kind today! Never underestimate the impact you can have on another human being with your words and actions. Always be intentional about making that impact a positive one. #Worldmentalhealthday

Every Linkedin post I have ever made has made me uncomfortable. Everyone says it gets easier, but it's still awkward for me. Unfortunately (fortunately), BGP's core values are to Be Intentional, Be Accountable, Keep Going, and Be Good People. In order for me to work with the people and companies I want to work with, it needs to be clear how I think about building businesses and coaching people. There are plenty of fractional executive firms that a company could hire, and there are plenty of companies that BGP could provide fractional executive services for. The key is figuring out which companies want to build a culture and infrastructure aligned with the way BGP operates. You need a strategy rooted to a meaningful purpose. A purpose that you are clear about, and a purpose that is shared by the people you are hiring and working with. Strategy isn't enough though - you need to be able to execute. You need to be able to habit build. You need to be able to continuously improve. You need a culture that reflects the ideas, innovation, and diversity of every stakeholder in the company. You need to be you, and you need to be able to do it profitably. #BeIntentional In order to reach the people in our network that we would enjoy working with the most - we need to be more open with our philosophies and capabilities. Starting the conversation knowing we are aligned at that level allows for more impact and value. #BeAccountable Post (authentically) on Linkedin every day for 30 days. This counts as day 2. #KeepGoing If I can't come up with anything worth posting, you may see a couple of posts that weren't worth posting. Apologies, I've got habits to build. #BeGoodPeople Most of the posts will be related to purpose, vision, happiness, growth, trust, and well-being. #leadership #stillgettingusedtohashtags
