The Strength of the Wolf is the Pack The life of a wolf is far from easy. Every day is a constant struggle for survival as these animals work to patrol miles of territory, take down large and dangerous prey, face harsh elements, and battle the constant threat of illness, injury, and disease. While it is possible for a lone wolf to navigate these challenges successfully, the odds of survival are drastically increased for wolves living in a pack and working as a team. In addition, packs operate in a manner that requires each member to contribute equally toward the group’s shared responsibilities. This manner of cooperative living works to alleviate the pressures on not only the pack leaders but on every member of the family. Ultimately, wolves understand that the pack’s survival relies on teamwork and that working together yields the greatest potential for success. Just like a wolf that works with its pack to be successful and grow, so can we as a team in the workplace. I believe that our team can work together to achieve our goals, leveraging our collective strengths and supporting one another to overcome challenges. Through collaboration and mutual support, we can reach new heights and ensure our collective success. #Teamwork #Leadership #Collaboration #Success #StaffDomain #TogetherWeAchieve #WorkplaceExcellence #TeamGoals

So much to love and learn from Marvin Salcido's talk at the #LCRSummit focusing on building a great #CompanyCulture! Because culture is so inherently unique from business to business, there is no silver bullet; you just have to put in the time and work. There are, however, a few things that hold true across all organizations: • Having a shared vision and goal is key for a unified team—and that vision can only be brought to life through constant communication and feedback. • Fostering open communication empowers team members to be comfortable addressing issues and taking a proactive approach to problem solving. • There is NO place on your team for toxic individuals; cultivating a positive culture takes time but can be quickly be ruined by even a small amount of negativity. • Celebrate wins, express gratitude for excellent work, and recognize both teams and individuals with gifts, rewards and awards. • Support employees outside of work by providing great benefits, keeping a reasonable and manageable schedule, and assisting them when they're experiencing difficult circumstances at home. Settle in for an amazing hour of inspiration & watch the full presentation on YouTube ⤵

Teamwork, Resilience, and Leadership in Action This past weekend, I led my Scout group to Fordell Firs for their Big Freeze Camp — a fun and adventurous weekend event that we’d all been looking forward to. Little did we know, Storm Bert would have other plans for us. Friday night was a cold night, but the skies were clear — a perfect start to the weekend. Early Saturday morning, at 06:30, I stood with a coffee in hand, watching the camp slowly come to life under a beautiful deep blue sky. It was a moment of calm before the chaos. As we headed off for breakfast, Storm Bert arrived with sudden ferocity, bringing snow, powerful winds, and freezing temperatures that would put us all to the test. But what stood out wasn’t the storm — it was the response. The teams at Fordell Firs were phenomenal. In the middle of a snowstorm, they were out there alongside leaders, helping us fix or replace tents, ensuring we could keep going despite the conditions. Their support and calm under pressure made a huge difference. For our Scouts, it was a crash course in resilience. With plans changing rapidly, we adapted, moved indoors, and made the most of the facilities. From warming up over hot drinks to watching movies, the Scouts embraced the unexpected and proved that adventure isn’t always about what’s planned — it’s about how you respond when things go off script. For me and my fellow leaders, it was a weekend that highlighted the importance of communication, teamwork, and contingency planning. Being able to adapt quickly, prioritize safety, and keep morale high ensured that we didn’t just survive the storm — we turned it into a memorable experience for everyone. This weekend was a powerful reminder of what Scouting is all about: resilience, leadership, and the power of community in the face of challenges. Storm Bert might have brought chaos, but it also brought out the best in everyone involved. A huge thank you to the staff at Fordell Firs for their tireless efforts and to the Scouts and leaders for their unwavering teamwork and positivity. It wasn’t the camp we planned, but it was certainly one we’ll never forget. #Teamwork #Resilience #Leadership #ScoutingAdventures #FordellFirs #BigFreeze #StormBert #WeekendCamp

#Did you think all mushers were men? We’re accustomed to seeing men in the top roles in business, and men continue to dominate in dog sledding. Nevertheless, here are two small women in a big sport—you’ll notice I am taller though Nancy’s teams were bigger. Also, Nancy's sister-in-law, Deborah Molburg, was the first woman to win the Iditarod. Nancy’s husband, businessman, and highly respected leader, Johnn Molburg brought Nancy and me together. Johnn and I met at a race and began discussing leadership and business, teamwork, and goal setting. As a musher, he participated in events nationally, building award-winning teams with Nancy. An active member of ISDRA he organized races nationally skillfully working with teams in competition and was to become the President of ISDRA. Maintaining communication with teams and groups internationally, Johnn led the organization to a new level of success. The analogy between business and dog sledding goes a long way, from the organization to the development of individual teams. Most important, however, is the individual and their ability to move "on by" obstacles in their path. As a novice musher, I learned to accept risk, discover my trail, and seek work/life harmony. Caring for others as mothers and fathers, caregivers, and volunteers at home while maintaining a challenging career as a team member, manager, or leader requires accepting responsibility for others as well as ourselves. Working with animals, I gained a new sense of what is important, how to build work/life harmony, and how to be inspired as well as inspiring. I hope you find your trail markers and along the way meet mentors as wonderful as mine have been. You can find my book, MOVING 'ON BY' on AMAZON or a link on my website www.mtmcoach.com where you can download a free ebook on self-coaching.

In the serene expanse of Braunstone Park, under the guardian-like embrace of an aged tree, a single figure finds rhythm in his morning routine. It’s a dog walker, a regular perhaps, engaged in the simple yet profound act of walking his loyal friend. This image, captured in the early whispers of dawn, speaks to more than the beauty of Leicester’s cherished green spaces it’s a visual metaphor for leadership and companionship in our professional journey. In our careers, as in the walk, there are moments shrouded in uncertainty, paths enveloped in the mist of the unknown. Yet, much like the dog walker guided by the unwavering tree, we move forward, trustingly, with the assurance that clarity comes with each step taken. Today, let this scene inspire you. Be the steadfast tree in your network, offering support. Be the dog walker, leading with purpose and cultivating loyalty. Embrace the path ahead, even when it’s not fully visible, for it’s in these moments that our direction becomes clear. Join me in reflecting on the lessons nature imparts and how they can shape our approach to leadership and personal growth. 🌳 #LeadershipLessons #MorningMotivation #MindfulLeadership #BraunstonePark #LeicesterLandscapes #ProfessionalGrowth #CompanionshipInBusiness #NatureAsMentor #ReflectiveLeadership 🐾

The running joke in my family is that I am a plant. I just moved, and my new neighbor started calling me chief green thumb officer. So, that tells you how much I love plants and have always loved the patience and the hard work it takes to grow them successfully. How you need to plant them, how every one of them has different needs and you need to care for them individually. It is like growing a business and managing people. They've taught me so much, and I love them for it. #cultivatingculture #companyculture #buildingabusiness #cultivatingabusiness

LinkedIn last week was a success as we activated Oscar Mayer's new stuffed dogs and some plant-based dogs. This week WILL be great because I’ll carry the LESSONS from last week and apply them to my work/LIFE. Lesson of the WEEK. Detach yourself from the outcome and get married to the process. #leadershiplessons #growth #leadershipcoach

One of the most profound concepts that I come back to over and over again in building culture is the idea of challenge and invitation. I was introduced to this paradigm in the book, Building a Discipling Culture by Mike Breen. The book unpacks how culture is formed and what a healthy culture looks like. Mike tells a beautiful story about how wild mustangs would be initiated in to the herd. As a young stallion approached the herd, the lead mare would challenge him by flattening hear ears and staring directly at him. The stallion would stop and begin bowing toward the mare. Then the mare would turn her flank to the young horse and lift her ears, inviting him closer. The mare would alternate challenge and invitation until the two horses touched in a moment called join-up when the stallion was admitted into the herd. His point was that the strongest cultures and the most fruitful relationships have high challenge and high invitation. If you have one without the other you end up with a dysfunctional culture. He breaks this out into 4 quadrants: High Invitation + Low Challenge = A Complacent Culture Low Invitation + Low Challenge = An Apathetic Culture High Challenge + Low Invitation = A Stressful, Discouraged Culture High Invitation + High Challenge = An Empowered Culture Too much challenge and people get discouraged, not enough and they become too comfortable and don't grow. Too much invitation and people feel coddled, too little and they feel stressed and uncared for. This is a constant tension, but I strive to provide an environment in my team, in our small group at church, and with my kids where people feel challenged to grow and achieve more than they thought possible while also creating a safe space for them to be themselves and bring their challenges and struggles to me. Where have you experienced environments of high challenge and high invitation? What kind of culture did it create? #personalgrowth #teamculture
