March 10 and today’s lesson is Find Yourself A Cato. “What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson It is crucially important that we find people who inspire us and hold us to a higher standard. Whether they are your family, business associates, or people from history that you admire, you can use them for inspiration whenever you are facing challenging situations. What would they do in this situation? How would they judge my decision? You can justify any decision, good or bad.  If you have identified role models you admire that have managed to make the right decisions even when they were the hard decisions, then you will hold yourself accountable and choose what is right and not what is easy. This is especially important in business, where the attitude of winning at all costs is often celebrated. Eventually, if you live your life in this manner, you will become a role model for other people, including your children. “They who set an example make a highway. Others follow the example, because it is easier to travel on a highway than over untrodden grounds.” - Horace Mann Passage in video read from the book The Daily Stoic.

Thoughts for the week ahead…Integrity At its core integrity is about doing what you say you are going to do. This week, reflect on what you have committed to do and check to ensure you are actually going to be able to do it. If it is not possible or you need to delay things or you need help speak up. Be open and honest. Those around you are trusting you to deliver on your commitments. If this is not possible give them the earliest heads up to ensure they are not caught out and then let others down themselves.

🌟 Your reputation precedes you! 🌟 In a world driven by connections and impressions, our reputation is our most valuable asset. It's not just about what we do, but how we do it, and the impact we leave on others. Whether in the workplace, the community, or online, cultivating a positive reputation is key to building trust, credibility, and influence. But a good reputation isn't built overnight; it's a culmination of consistent actions, integrity, and delivering on promises. By staying true to our values, treating others with respect, and going above and beyond expectations, we can earn the respect and admiration of those around us. So, let's make a conscious effort to nurture and protect our reputation every day. Whether it's by maintaining professionalism, owning up to mistakes, or actively seeking feedback, we have the power to shape how we are perceived by others. Hope this post helped you, and please be sure to comment and share this post with anyone else you think could benefit. Together, let's elevate our reputations and leave a lasting legacy of excellence! 👍 #Reputation #Trust #Integrity #Professionalism

3rd Pillar of Trust: Character Who is someone you admire for having high character? How do you handle an employee who does not show good character? What is a top personal value no one can take away? Why Character? People notice those who do what's right over what's easy. Building character: - Do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, whether you feel like it or not.  - It’s important to be consistent with your thoughts, words, and actions. - Hold on to your strong moral compass. You’ll be respected for it! What are your decision-making values? These are the values that truly guide our decisions. When we know our values, our decision-making becomes faster and more congruent. Reliability is a good example of a decision-making value. With this value, you will make decisions based on your commitment to reliability. Respect is a top value for many. This value tends to mean you will treat everyone, regardless of their title, cultural background, or belief system with respect, and will in turn, carry themselves in such a way to earn the respect of others. Defining your decision-making values moves you down the path to being trusted! And also creates what Michael Millar has coined "Your Trajectory of Integrity."
