Resurget Cineribus. This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes. History Lesson: For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel. On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience. The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance. So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

I want to share the wisdom from some of my favorite fierce females this month in honor of #womenshistorymonth. I listened to Steven Bartlett's (from BBC's Dragon's Den) interview with Shark Tank ABC's Barbara Corcoran. I was impressed with his style of asking hard questions in an incredibly compassionate way. I'm awarding serious bonus points for #emotionalquotient! Give it a listen over lunch or when you have a little windshield time. It's incredibly insightful conversation IMHO. Corcoran said: Failure is not an option. Time and again she watches the companies she discovered on Shark Tank. She finds that right after the high of being an "overnight success" on the show, she can tell the destiny of her relationship after they hit the first rough patch. She'll call at around 2 or 3 months and say, "How's it going?" Those that point to people to blame and have abundant excuses, she devotes very little of her time to. Those that are straight shooters and have 2 or 3 ideas on how to get out of the ditch demonstrate they are #problemsolvers. She will generously invest her precious minutes with those #entrepreneurs. ⏲ Insults can be an incredible motivator. She eventually figured out they were gifts because they fuel you. For Barbara, proving them wrong was as big of a reason as any to hustle until she was the #1 #RealEstate firm in #nyc. ⛽ Creativity is an amazing character trait and grossly underestimated. 💡 Firing negative people is the most important thing you can do as a #leader to protect the culture and the gems that make your organization special. Bad attitudes suck energy out of the organization. They are thieves in her eyes. 🎯 SPOT ON! 🎯 She appreciates people who tell her what they want up front (#BLUF to all my #military connections). I wonder if there's any correlation to her 38-year marriage to a United States Naval Academy fellow? For me - that's how and why I have honed that skill. 🎖 She thinks numbers are the least important thing to be awesome at in business. The most important thing is to be exceptional with people and have ambition. 😍 Always get back up after a failure. I've told my kids time and again, it's only a mistake if you make it twice. Life gives us lessons. Learn from them so you don't repeat the unpleasant ones. https://lnkd.in/gJ9StPxY
