The world needs wrestling. Wrestling is the human experience. Where grappling with opponents mirrors the struggles we face in our daily lives. Through wrestling, individuals learn invaluable lessons in perseverance, resilience, and the art of navigating adversity. Each match becomes a microcosm of the human condition, offering profound lessons in confronting fears, pushing boundaries, and extracting wisdom from triumphs and setbacks alike. Wrestling, therefore, stands as a timeless conduit for mining the depths of our past experiences and transforming them into catalysts for growth and self-discovery. My favorite quote: The "Man in the Arena" quote comes from a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, in 1910. Here's the quote: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." The world needs wrestling.

🎉 Wow, we've just surpassed 50 copies of "From Forming to Performing" sold! 📚 Crossing this milestone is a mix of excitement, humility, and, yes, a tiny bit of terror. But hey, we've officially moved beyond just my family and close friends—which means, contrary to popular belief, it’s not just my mom and dad buying all the copies (thanks anyway, Mom & Dad!). A massive shoutout to Keila, Adina, Matthew, & Dave for being some of the first to champion this adventure. It’s one thing for me to rave about the book, but having your support means the world to me—literally, it's everything. To everyone else who's curious about crafting high-performing teams—or those who just want to see if I can write more than emails—grab your copy on Amazon. Let's prove there’s life beyond the family bookshelf! 😄 #FromFormingToPerforming #BookLaunch #Leadership #TeamPerformance

That’s a thoughtful piece of advice. It emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with individuals who will advocate for you and recognize your potential, especially in moments that could lead to growth and success. It’s about building relationships with those who believe in your abilities and are willing to support you when it matters most.

Kindness in business is not just a virtue it is also a strategic advantage. Kindness opens doors to new connections and opportunities. When you approach networking with a genuine desire to help others and build meaningful relationships, you attract like-minded individuals who are willing to support you in return. Kindness isn't just a moral imperative, it's also a smart business strategy that leads to stronger relationships, a positive reputation, and ultimately, greater success. #leadership #kindness #culture #executivesearch #diversity

Starting over is always the best

📕 "Why is this such a profound statement? Building a Supportive Network and The Power of Having True Advocates." Here's why this is so important: In the journey of life and career, it's crucial to surround yourself with the right people, those who will actually speak up for you in a room full of opportunities. This simple concept holds profound significance because it directly impacts your visibility, credibility and access to new possibilities. Imagine being in a room buzzing with opportunities - job openings, exciting projects, potential collaborations. In such a setting, having advocates who have no hesitation to mention your name can make all the difference. When someone speaks positively about you, they are not just acknowledging your talents; they are endorsing your capabilities and potential. These advocates are more than just acquaintances; they are individuals who genuinely believe in you. They become your allies, mentors, or friends in professional settings. Their support and trust in your abilities can open doors that you might not have known existed. The act of mentioning your name in the right circles enhances your visibility. Suddenly, you are on the radar of decision-makers and influencers. This increased exposure can lead to a cascade of opportunities - new job offers, exciting projects, or even promotions within your current role. When others vouch for you, it adds a layer of validation to your skills and character. It builds your reputation and credibility within your industry or community and people start associating your name with competence and professionalism. Building a network of advocates is a strategic investment in your long-term growth and success. These are the individuals who will support you during both highs and lows, offering guidance, opportunities and sometimes just a reassuring word when needed. To cultivate such relationships, start by nurturing genuine connections. Seek out individuals who share similar values and ambitions. Be generous in offering your support and encouragement to others as well. Networking isn't just about collecting business cards; it's about building meaningful relationships based on mutual respect and trust. As you progress, remember the importance of reciprocity. Be the advocate for others that you hope to have for yourself. Celebrate the successes of your colleagues and offer help when you can. Having advocates who will speak your name is a game-changer. It's not just about networking; it's about fostering genuine connections with people who see your potential and are willing to champion your cause. Start nurturing relationships, sharing your goals and offering support to others. Together, let's create a community where everyone thrives and succeeds. Your advocates are out there, go find them and cultivate meaningful connections that will propel you towards your dreams. #Leadership #Inspiration #Networking #Success #Entrepreneurship

Great leaders lift up those around them. Not everyone is used to this, I've had teams initially suspicious of me when I have raised them up and supported their growth - they weren't used to it. I've also had managers who have questioned why I'm promoting the development of my teams 🤯 I'm extremely proud of all the people I have found, mentored and managed over the years. They have continued to blossom and are doing amazing things. Leaders always lift their teams and enable their people to do great things. Poor, middle managers (or want to be managers) who are out of their depth control teams, claim their successes and hold them back from achieving great things. In doing so, they damage the individual, the team and the business. #shame When businesses focus on digital transformations they often forget about people transformations. If you don't have leaders (in title or behaviour) who back people, and most importantly trust each other, you don't have any teams and that's bad for business. #buildingstrongteams #peopleareyourbusiness #growth #ceo #coo #designyourbusiness #digitaltransformation

Let's celebrate Silver Medalist Yusuf Dikeç's incredible talent as a Turkish pistol shooter—his tech-free glory is truly praiseworthy! His laser-focused eye and remarkable skill are undeniable. 👁 🔍 🔫 However, we should also consider the impact of equipment on performance. Should we rely solely on talent? What if Yusuf had the same advanced equipment as his competitors? It's worth pondering how much further his talent could take him with equal resources. Why am I sharing this on LinkedIn, a career platform? Because there are valuable lessons to be learned about the importance of providing adequate tools and resources in any field to help individuals reach their full potential.

A new catalogue; how exciting! It’s such a great use of taxpayers’ hard earned (and worth less) money. Your tax dollars are paying for this incredible foolishness, fellow Canadians. Watch this short video. Share your thoughts and this post.
