I recently completed my first archery competition….after almost talking myself out of going. I regularly promote the benefits of stepping outside of one's comfort zone….trying something new, breaking free from one's routine. Yet there I was, Saturday afternoon, rationalizing why I should stay home and; ❌ Rest my sore shoulders from the previous day's workout; ❌ Take the dog for a longer walk as he's starting to put on weight 😀 ❌ Relax and unwind after a tough week; ❌ Practice more before competing …and the list of excuses masked as justifications to 'take it easy' grew. Then I stopped myself. I recognized the pull of complacency, packed my gear and drove to the range. ..and I had a blast. I achieved a decent score as a novice competitor, made some friends, and learned a ton. I can't wait to compete again…which is now within my comfort zone. ➡ The lesson I learned...again… is to acknowledge the gravitational pull of comfort, and push through anyway. Growth, learning and fun await on the other side. #RWB #ETL #canei #leadershipdevelopment

Teaching leaders how to redesign ordinary work habits and their offices for high-performance and happiness - Follow me for posts on transformative work habits & systems
Are your standards holding you back? How a runner did the impossible, and changed everyone's beliefs. In 1954 Roger Bannister did something that no other human had ever done before - he ran a mile under 4 min. Runners had be trying to break this seemingly impossible barrier since 1886, but no one could. Guess what happened after Bannister broke the 4 min mile? Runners every where started doing the same. In one race FOUR RUNNERS did it! The people we surround ourselves has a huge impact on what we believe is possible. They have an immense impact of how we view the world. If you have people around you that lifts you spirit, challenges your views, argues your beliefs and show new ways of doing things - chances are you'll change! You might even break your own "4-min mile" attempt. Whatever that might be. But remember, you must raise your standards.

Welcome to month 10 - the last quarter of the year. It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race that matters most; it is how you cross the finish line! You may not have had a good start this year, but you can have a good finish. Set goals; make plans; get to work; stick to it; review it daily in order to stay focused on achieving them. Victory belongs to the most persevering. Wake up! Listen, you get what you work for; not what you wish for! Work smart, don't give up; finish strong! Have a fulfilled day!! #CalmDown#StaySafe#WorkSafe#

Facilitating positive mental health 1 client & 1 patient at a time through trusted personal interaction & technology
Honoring #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth 💚 and #MemorialDay 🇺🇸 with some training ride reflections 🚴♂️... hope you enjoy the video! Endurance sports give me time to think, and yesterday, my first long training ride of the season, was full of lessons. I’m training for the metric century truegritride.com/ in Fort Smith, Arkansas with ArcBest and wanted to share a few thoughts that resonated with me. 🚦 Stoplights: I hit almost every red light on the route for the first 10 miles. Frustrating and slow! This reminded me of setbacks I've faced, and the importance of patience and perseverance to keep moving forward. The last couple of stoplights were a welcome relief and chance to rest for a minute. 🐝 Startled: Around mile 15, a huge bumble bee collided with my cheek. Ouch! It was a sudden reminder that unexpected challenges can come out of nowhere. But, as with any career surprise, I brushed it off and kept pedaling. Luckily, no sting! 🐿️ Roadkill: Mile 22, a huge garbage truck passed me at the same time a squirrel darted from the brush and ran right in front of me for about 5 seconds. It hesitated... Crack!... lifeless. How does that happen on a bike? This was a harsh lesson in the unpredictability of life and work, reinforcing that sometimes, despite our best efforts, things can go awry. I can only say, "I'm sorry!" 🌿 Little things: Around mile 30, when fatigue was setting in, the refreshing smell of wild fennel hit me (one of my favorite smells!). It was a brief reminder that even during tough times, there are moments of joy and motivation that keep us going. 😓 Saddle Sore: Not having been on the bike for about 7 months, my butt was sore by mile 35! It was a painful reminder that getting back into the swing of things takes time and persistence, much like getting back into a demanding project or role. 🤔 Route Decisions: Leading up to mile 45, I could choose a smoother, easier route or stick with my plan for the harder way. I took the path less traveled! This type of conditioning has mirrored many of my career decisions where taking the challenging route has led to greater rewards and growth. 💨 Headwinds: Part of the decision above I knew around mile 50 there would be an 8-mile stretch of relentless headwinds that would slow me to a crawl. Much like in our careers, there are periods when progress seems excruciatingly slow. Yet, these headwinds build resilience and strength. Perfect for a training ride! As we consider our #mentalhealth and #phsyicalhealth and remember the millions of military lives who serve/ have served to protect our #freedoms, let's remember the importance of mental fortitude, resilience, and honoring those who have faced the ultimate challenges. My ride was a tribute to the highs and lows we all experience, both professionally and personally. Keep pedaling, stay strong, and never forget to appreciate the little moments of joy along the way. #Resilience #CareerJourney #CyclingLife #KeepPedaling

When our heart is ready our body is prepared and when our body is tired, run with our heart. Finally legs are louder than words. Few reflections and lessons I learnt from my today Run. 1. Create our desired: because of my busyness during this periods, I don’t have enough time to train for this run. so what I can do is to make my mind ready and I run with my desire to do it. 2. Compete with ourselves: in a race, it is tempted to compete with others. But knowing ourselves is a key. So remind ourselves keeping our pace and compete only with ourselves. 3. Celebrate every small win: Running long distances is not easy, so give ourselves a praise in each km we encountered. That is called progress. 4. Cheers with those who support us: if we feel to give up, remember all of those who support us and remind ourselves they are waiting to cheer us in the finish line.
