You may be a Director or President in a company or anywhere else but you carry no value if you are not a good human being.

Stepping into a new leadership role as a claims manager is exciting but it can also be overwhelming. 😣 You’re eager to make an impact, build a strong team, and hit those performance goals but with so many competing priorities, it’s easy to feel pulled in different directions. ↗ ↘ ↙ ↖ You want to lead effectively but the day-to-day demands can make it challenging to stay focused on what really matters. Here’s the thing: you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. With the right guidance, you can navigate these challenges and create an intentional plan that helps you lead with confidence and clarity. If this sounds like where you are right now, let's connect. Let's explore how you can take control of your time and energy and lead your team to the success you're looking for.

Assistants, have you ever been talked down to, or felt like nobody fully understands what you do on a daily basis? It can be easy to fall into the trap of needing others to “get it”. Often when we look for recognition outside of ourselves it’s coming from lack of belief in our own capability to provide value. Being understood and valued starts with you. Give yourself recognition. Celebrate your own contribution. Look inward for your worth, then keep adding value from a place of worthiness.

There's a difference between a boss and a leader. A boss basically takes advantage of you and micro manage everything you do because he always wants to be in control ( They are control freaks and power intoxicated). While a leader would lead and guide you on how to be better on your own . They teach you how to become expert on the job and give you a freewill to excel outside the job.

This video is special... 💖 Hearing my dear friend Michael Nitti reflect on our first connection back in 1997 touched my heart. His words are a reminder that every connection has the power to enrich your path! At the time, he had just started working with Tony Robbins, and I was radiating energy and enthusiasm, stepping into my role as a FSR (field sales rep), ready to win, and make a difference in the world. Hearing his reflections brought me back to how our connections can inspire our lives. Every interaction, every moment of showing up with presence and love, opens doors to limitless possibilities. This story isn’t just about me; it’s a reminder for all of us: ✨ Honor the connections that illuminate your journey. ✨ Recognize the gifts within yourself and others. ✨ Show up fully, embracing every moment as an opportunity to grow and connect. When we’re present and open, life has a way of aligning us with exactly what we need at the perfect time. . . . #transformationalcoaching #growthmindsetcoach #limitlesspossibilities #MindsetMatters #EnergyAndFocus #personalleadership #LeadershipDevelopment #growthjourney #selfgrowthjourney #leadwithpurpose #mindsetforsuccess

When was the last time you recognised someone for their effort? And not just saying ‘thank you’, although that’s important too.  Recognition should go beyond the people we serve and who serve us; it should also extend to those we work with and beyond. From colleagues to bosses, suppliers to neighbours, they all deserve a moment of appreciation. Think about it: How often do you focus solely on first level customer service, forgetting the individuals behind the scenes who make everything work?  Your co-worker who stays late, your manager who clears roadblocks or the supplier who delivers on time, they’re all part of the brilliance in your life.  Recognition isn’t just for customers; it’s for everyone. Here’s your challenge: Recognise someone today. Not just with a passing comment but with a genuine big up!  Send them a message, make it public if you can, mention them in the comments below. Let someone know they’re appreciated. Remember, great service isn’t just what your customers see, it’s what the whole team lives and breathes. So, are you getting too much recognition?  I doubt it. But I bet you could be giving more. Be Brilliant! Michael
