#MakeEveryMomentCount I saw a video of one guy in a mall who just started singing, and a crowd of people, who didn't know him, joined in. I have seen a lot of these videos, but they all have one thing in common: the person whose singing draws a crowd IS A REALLY GOOD SINGER! We must meet expectations, remain within the confines of agreed standards, and do the best possible within our work environment. You must approach every task with the mind of raising the bar, with regards to quality of results, not just any old results, high quality results. Find how to mark everything you do with excellence, to the point that for anyone to say your work isn't excellent, they must work hard to prove it! Except you are in an environment that doesn't care about excellence and productivity, you cannot "draw your crowd" if you are not exceptional. If you are not good at what you do, the crowd won't come to you. Exceptional performance should be your hallmark. Build your capacity, and the requisite skillset, and your crowd will gather. Every task is a microphone that's plugged in: SING! It's a brand new week. Make this week count! Leslie George

Inspired by Bill's post (give him a Follow!), I decided to provide my own list: When do I feel the most joy? - When I'm out in nature - Working with my hands (whether grunt-work or creatively, it's all good!) - Seeing someone LEARN (especially one of #myfoursons) - Juggling creative projects - Doing something for myself that brings me NO INCOME - like writing a #TeachedUpComics episode, exercising, or [slowly] adding to my book (25,000 words, so far). Where can I improve and compound my joy? - Continuing to make the positive outlook my default setting - Having a bit more patience (believe it or not, one can always improve on this, hehe) - Add a little more "life" to my work-life balance *wink* Not my fault I like working so much.
When I've felt joy recently. When I've been listening to music. As I've felt the sun shining on my face. When I've learnt something new, about me, again, after 40 years. Laughing with someone. After a good meal. And When I wrote this list and realised, that when it comes to feeling joy for me, not a lot really matters. Listening Feeling Learning Laughing Eating Perhaps they're all the right notes? But not necessarily in the right order... #isthisit #gettothegoodstuff #joy

I don't like strawberries. I know, I know...what's wrong with me. I want to like them because they are so beautiful, but I just don't – never have. I also have never liked Bruce Springsteen. Nothing against the guy, but I'm just not a fan of his music. We are all entitled to our opinions, and these are not even topics that matter. What I don't get is sh*++*ng on others preferences. Why isn't leaving everyone be, the standard? We can coexist, and even celebrate each other, while liking what we like. Let's make more space for each other rather than drawing lines. As I commented on Shane Arthur's post yesterday, let's build less fences and build larger tables instead. There is so much beauty in our differences, and we can better celebrate that rather than sh*+ on it. It's okay if you love strawberries while I dislike them.

Making Doing Good, Feel Good | Love This Place ➡️ Culture Made Easy For Frontline Teams | Frontline Feel Good ➡️ Beat Burnout For Frontline Workers
At 10pm, way past bedtime, my daughter's worry spiked - music lessons tomorrow and no practice done. "What now?" she fretted. I felt a rare moment of relief as a dad, as with this problem at least, I knew exactly how to help. We linked her practice to feeding the dog, a daily task. Post-dog, she'd turn to her instrument, and we'd celebrate each session, embedding joy into this new routine. It wasn't just about avoiding trouble; it was about making practice a part of her day, as natural as brushing teeth, powered by the thrill of our cheers. Two weeks on and there is no more fretting, just steady progress towards something she loves. And that is the 1, 2, 3 of habit formation: 1. Choose an existing behaviour as an anchor 2. Do your new behaviour immediately after the anchor 3. Give yourself a pat on the back

Happy Monday! And the Vince inspired themes continue - thank you Stephan Hogan for the great interview. At one point in the conversation Vince is telling the story of his musical journey and how he thought about success related to what he was doing. I’m going to snip together a few quotes from this section. “I’ve never let the struggling years, or the successful years be my definition of what I had to offer and how good I was at what I was doing. … In 1975 I left home to play in a bluegrass band. And it was a band that was well known and made records. So, in the world I was in…I was doing about as good as you could hope to do.“ As Vince describes his journey through various bands (including Pure Prairie League, Roseanne Cash, and Rodney Crowell), Vince says, “…those musicians were better than the previous musicians I had played with. So, to me it’s positive because I’m around better music, better songs, better everything.” What a non-standard way to think about success…and I love it! I’ve certainly measured my success (or lack of) by looking at titles, money, org structure, notoriety, etc. In my experience, wins in those areas felt less fulfilling than being part of an amazing team and getting the opportunity to surround myself with people who are smarter, more creative and have better skills than me. As my kids would say, it helps me level up. This week, my challenge to myself and each of you: as we look at where we are on our own measures of success, let’s include the people we hang with and work with. Let’s intentionally seek people out who will push us, who will bring out the best in us, and who want to see us succeed. Make it a great week! #mondaythought #continuousimprovement

When is the last time you asked someone a genuine question in an effort to learn more about them personally? Genuine, appropriate, thoughtful questions can help us build relationships and trust with the people around us. Where did you grow up? What types of music do you enjoy? What traditions do you have for this holiday? Engage with curiosity and foster deeper understanding in your community and workplace. #Curiosity #DEIB #Belonging #BuildingConnections #WorkplaceDiversity

FIND out where to go where you can experience self motivation. GO where there is value, growth, and appreciation. STAY when you have others who seak the same.. BUILD that culture for yourself and others.. LEAVE when you no longer experience or provide motivation or value to others or yourself.

Are you in the right environment? Ever felt like you're giving your all, pouring your heart into your work, only to feel invisible, even disposable? Maybe you've heard of Joshua Bell's social experiment, a world-class violinist. If not, let me tell you. In 2007, he took his $3.5 million Stradivarius violin to the bustling Washington DC Subway. Can you imagine? In 43 minutes of playing some of the most exquisite music ever composed, only seven people stopped to listen. Yes, you heard that right. Seven. The outcome? A meagre $32.17 in tips. Now, let that sink in. Joshua Bell, a master of his craft, was treated like just another street performer. Why? Because the environment didn't recognise his worth. How often does this happen in our lives, in our careers? No matter how exceptional you are, if you're stuck in an environment that doesn't recognise your worth, you're bound to feel invisible. But here's the truth: It's not a reflection of your talent or value. It's a reflection of the environment. Similarly, you can't let the environment and how people react to you affect how you see yourself. It's not about changing yourself to fit in. It's about finding a place where you're celebrated for being exactly who you are. So, take a moment. Reflect. Are you in the right environment? And remember, your worth is not determined by the place you're in, but by how you're valued. Like Joshua Bell in that subway station, you deserve an audience that truly sees and appreciates your greatness. #mentalhealthadvocate #growthmindset #personaldevelopment
