That extra push from your colleagues, team, or community can help you break through the mental blocks holding you back.

Celebrating Left-Handers Day: The Right Side of History! Happy Left-Handers Day! Today, we raise our left hands in celebration of the unique and often underestimated group of lefties among us. Did you know that left-handers are often called "southpaws"? It’s a term that originated in baseball, where left-handed pitchers throw with their left hand and make right-handed batters feel a little *left out*. Left-handers are known for their creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. They often think outside the box and approach challenges from unique angles. Here are some of their notable strengths: - Creativity: Left-handers often excel in artistic fields, bringing fresh perspectives to their work. - Intuition: Many lefties possess strong intuitive abilities, allowing them to make quick decisions. - Resilience: Navigating a right-handed world fosters adaptability and resilience in left-handers. Let’s not forget some of the remarkable left-handers who have made their mark on history: - Leonardo da Vinci: The quintessential Renaissance man, known for his masterpieces and inventions. - Albert Einstein: The genius physicist who changed our understanding of the universe. - Oprah Winfrey: A media mogul and philanthropist who has inspired millions. - Barack Obama: The 44th President of the United States, who led with vision and determination. As a left-hander myself, I call upon all southpaws to unite, for the benefit of all sides! So, here's to all the left-handers out there! May you continue to embrace your unique perspective and keep proving that sometimes, the left side is the right side! 🖐️✨ #InternationalLeftHandersDay #Lefthanders #Southpaws

The spirit of March Madness transcends basketball, offering valuable lessons in teamwork, leadership, and resilience. As we observe teams like Duke and Kentucky, the emphasis on culture, character, and collective strength over individual star power resonates deeply with our approach at Benchmark Search. In recruitment, especially within the dynamic accounting market of DFW, these lessons remind us of the importance of cultural fit, shared values, and the collective strength of a team. As we engage with clients and candidates, the principles of teamwork and leadership guide our efforts to create matches that not only fulfill immediate needs but also contribute to long-term success and growth. March Madness is more than a tournament; it's a showcase of the principles that drive success both on the court and in the corporate world.

As a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs, I've learned more than just the ins and outs of baseball; I've learned about resilience, hope, and the sheer joy of sharing those nail-biting moments with friends and family. 🐻⚾ The journey of the Cubs, with its highs and lows, reminds me so much of life itself. Just like in baseball, it's not about being perfect—it's about pushing forward, swinging with hope, and sometimes, embracing the beauty of an unexpected turn. This team has taught me that no matter how long the drought, the rain will come. No matter how distant the dream, with persistence, teamwork, and belief, victory is within reach. Let's take this spirit into our personal and professional lives. Whether you're in the midst of a challenging project or facing personal hurdles, remember, it's the love for the game that counts. Stay hopeful, stay resilient, and maybe, just like the Cubs in 2016, you'll turn your dreams into reality. #ChicagoCubs #Resilience #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork

Goodbye, My Beloved Dallas Cowboys!! In case you didn't know, I share videos I create of organizations doing amazing and not so amazing things to build great workplace cultures on my YouTube channel, TheChazinGroupLLC. Well, I have decided to shine a light on one of the worst run organizations in pro sports... My Dallas Cowboys. I'll be producing a lengthy video assessing the many dysfunctions of their ownership trainwreck, but for now below is the link to my video short. I'll explain in more detail what happens when an organization with a rich and storied history dies a slow death at the hands of a narcissistic sociopath owner who fosters a culture of nepotism, cronyism, and rewarding mediocrity. I will explain why I no longer follow/root for this team after 45 years of support. For now, here's the primer... #killinggreatorganizations #culturedies #culturesuicide #horribleleadership https://lnkd.in/ePPyCCEg
