Made another mask with sea turtle fabric I was able to find at Joann’s this week. Also finished the audiobook SHIFT by Hugh Howey, the second book in the WOOL trilogy. It was a long one but worth every minute. I really recommend this series if you are a fan of dystopian novels. #mask #seaturtle #audiobook @hughhowey #shiftbook #woolseries #wooltrilogy @audible #bookseries #dystopian #5stars @goodreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHToIYDPYf/?igshid=11irehhj6zw0q

During my recent Recruiters of Wisconsin keynote, I introduced my TENergy philosophy, which focuses on how respecting each other at a high level becomes contagious. For example, if I concentrate on the positive aspects of you, value you and see you as a 10, then hopefully you'll reciprocate, search out the worthwhile in me and see me as a 10. If we see each other as 10's, it's more likely that others in our lives will be viewed in a similar manner ... it's a ripple effect, a real life dominoes experience. Immediately, my friend and audience participant, Lynnette Zitzke, raised her hand and asked, "What if we loved our neighbors like we love our pets? Do you think we'd be closer to TENergy?" I responded, "I do!" The next day, Lynnette expanded her thought in a private message to me that said, "If we loved our neighbors like we love our pets, the world would have more extreme love, extreme compassion, extreme forgiveness, and extreme concern for the lost." You see, it all starts with one person fully respecting another person ... the power of positive thinking. Who will you see as a 10 today? #MoveToConnect #PosititveAttitude #RespectEveryone #ShiftBook

While keynoting Ixonia Bank's annual employee retreat, I was honored to meet longtime Milwaukee investor and philanthropist, Sheldon Lubar. I had the chance to squeeze in a quick conversation with him. When asked what the most important part of business is, Sheldon answered, "hiring honest and hard-working people." "Leading with integrity and helping others grow" is what he is most proud of professionally. When I asked what motivates him to get up in the morning, he replied, "I love my work."  Sheldon, thank you for your four inspiring reminders in our four-minute conversation:  (1) Hire honest, hard-working people (2) Lead with integrity (3) Help others grow (4) Love your work #MoveToGrow #MoveToLiveWell #MoveToConnect #MoveToDevelopOthers #MoveToBeTeams #ShiftBook #Leadership #Motivation #PersonalGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #SelfLeadership (at Windwood of Watertown)

Think about a credible leader. Believe it or not, credible leaders are few and far between. According to the 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer, 63% of survey respondents said CEO's are only somewhat or not at all credible. In other words, 63% of employees don’t trust their leader. Last week, I was honored to spend the day with my friend, Preston Jones, while I taught leadership at the Wisconsin Register of Deeds Association (WRDA) Fall Conference. Preston is one of the seemingly rare credible leaders who recently retired after spending about 27 years as the Manitowoc County Register of Deeds. While I haven't seen Preston since the 90s, he was the same inspiring person I remember... humble, competent, positive, trustworthy, appreciative, passionate, empathetic, consistent, and caring.  When I asked Preston about his best professional decision, he said, "The best decision that I ever made was when I hired Kristi Tuesburg."  When I asked Kristi, Preston's replacement, about him, she said, "Preston set the highest standard for integrity." My sister, Shann Deprey, who worked with Preston in the 90's, recalled, "The entire office treated me like family, and I still consider them my family today." You see. Preston earned credibility through his day-to-day behaviors.  The lesson: You build credibility by earning it, not demanding it. What are you doing to earn credibility as a leader? #WRDA #MoveToDevelopOthers #ShiftBook
