Let's get it - today. Make a list of what and where you want your life to be. Cross everything off that's not the top 3 - not concentrate on the 1st one. When you run into a blocker - jump to option 2 and 3. When the blocker resolves - concentrate all of your effort onto the 1st one. Do not stop until the 1st one is done and then revise the list. #mondaymotivational https://lnkd.in/eiX_xN3Z

8/16/24 Kendall Bridges A Lesson from Bird Poop! A bird pooped on my head at the poolside of a beautiful resort in Mexico recently. That’s right! Of all the places and all the people where that little plop of poop could have landed, it landed on my head. I guess better me than someone else, right? All I could think about was the poop. I just wanted to go back to the room and get a shower. My wife and my daughter said, “You can’t even see it.” That didn’t matter, I knew it was there. I felt assaulted by the foul of the air. Words can have the same effect on people. How often do we poop on someone’s great idea, good day, accomplishment, promotion, victory or win? It’s not our win, so we poop on their party. I encourage you today to use your words to make someone’s day. Use your words to celebrate people. Celebrate others accomplishments and victories. So, ask yourself today, are you using your words to build up people or tear them down? Are your words and your conversations filled with hate or love, complaining or compliments, victory or defeat? Our words can be used to help lift people up or to send them into discouragement. Let’s use our words for a better purpose. Let’s build up, not tear down. Let’s encourage, not discourage. Let’s unite, not divide. ENCOURAGE. Use your words to encourage yourself and others.

These are powerful phrases to create a positive workplace. I’d also add “thank you” to the list!

My favorite question for leaders to ask is, “What could I do less or more of to help you be successful at work?” This question opens up three critical avenues for both the employee and leader: - It signals the leader’s willingness to adapt and support their team differently. - It gives the employee space to voice where they need more support or where challenges may be arising. - It allows the employee to acknowledge specific positive actions the leader is already taking that contribute to their success. Ending every meeting with this question can significantly boost team engagement and performance. Great post Center for Creative Leadership and Daniel Abrahams

Positivity in the workplace isn’t just a mindset; it’s a driving force. When we lead with optimism, we inspire productivity, foster collaboration, and create an environment where challenges become opportunities. A positive attitude empowers teams to exceed limits, find solutions, and excel. It’s not just about boosting morale—it’s about cultivating success. #leadership #BeTheChange

These statements can be how you start to lead in the change….

A powerful question in a positive work environment is: "Can you tell me more about that?" The goal is to invite deeper conversation, encourage collaboration, and ensure everyone feels heard and understood. When we take the time to explore perspectives, we build stronger connections and better solutions—together. What questions do you find helpful when working with others?
