Ever heard of Dwight Eisenhower? If not, you're going to want to watch 'til the end. Let me introduce you to the Eisenhower Matrix: my go-to strategy for setting my priorities throughout the week. It's far more simple than you think - just a 2x2 square that helps you determine what is both urgent AND important. These tasks go to the top of our priorities list and help shape our day/week in a way that keeps us on task. I know what you're thinking, "how can a square do all that?" Trust me, it's worth a try! Check out my latest reel to see me apply this matrix in my own life.

July is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and review as you reset your goals, refine your strategies, and celebrate your wins. This process helps you assess your progress, make necessary adjustments, and realign your focus to better position yourself for the second half of the year. In this month's blog, I share tips I learned from my love of basketball. Basketball, like life and business, is a game of strategy, adaptation, and perseverance. I couldn't think of a better metaphor to drive this point home. Consider this an assist in setting up a winning strategy to take your personal and business endeavors to the next level and beyond.

How many times have we felt like we are navigating without a clear direction? That happens when you have not found your purpose for doing what you do (this happens to organizations as well). Recently during a workshop in Bangkok I realized I love what I do because everyday I walk into my purpose. Enjoy this video as a visual demonstration: https://lnkd.in/gssvU8Ej

What's one lesson you've learned in your career that you wish you knew sooner? Lessons from the Event World: Embrace the Unexpected! Imagine planning a big event, everything seems perfect, but then chaos strikes. That's what happened at a gala I organized. Technical issues, cancellations—everything that could go wrong did. But instead of panicking, we got creative. We fixed problems on the fly and still pulled off an amazing event. That night taught me a vital lesson: when things go wrong, it's not about avoiding failure, but how you bounce back. Now, I'd love to hear your event stories and the lessons they taught you. Let's learn and grow together! 👇 #EventLessons #RollWithThePunches #GrowTogether

This quote hits differently, doesn’t it? 🙌 In a world where collaboration drives innovation, surrounding yourself with individuals who challenge your thinking and expand your horizons is the ultimate advantage. 🚀 Whether it’s in the workplace, at a networking event, or within your personal circle, seeking out those who inspire and push you to grow is how we evolve. 🌱 So, let’s flip the narrative—being in a room full of brilliant minds doesn’t diminish your value; it amplifies your potential. 💪

https://lnkd.in/eUnzSa-h Collaboration is no longer a buzzword; it's a business imperative. In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, success hinges on the ability to work effectively with others. Whether you're leading a team, building partnerships, or simply interacting with colleagues, mastering the art of collaboration is essential for personal and professional growth.

Excited to share a sneak peek into my preparation for this Thursday’s motivational event at Morley Chamber of Trade and Commerce. Crafting my notes and finalizing my slide deck, I’m reflecting on the journey that led me here. Each slide tells a story of resilience, growth, and the power of a positive mindset. Looking forward to connecting with fellow professionals and sharing more insights on LinkedIn! #MotivationalSpeaker #EventPrep #ProfessionalGrowth”

Are you experiencing “Fall Frenzy”?  That time of year when you are trying to get back into the school year groove, balance all those extra-curricula, get to all those fall conferences, make your annual organizational goals, planning for all the impending holidays, and oh yeah---keep up on YOUR personal and professional goals.  I am guessing that last one gets lost in that Fall Frenzy.  Looking to refocus and get clear on what is truly important and create a plan to achieve it?   Message me to schedule a no-cost 30 minute introductory call to explore working together. 

"Your value does not decrease because of someone's inability to see your worth." What an amazing statement, especially coming from a soccer referee! I watched this on my way home from work, and in a short time, I learned strategies on how not to take things personally. Working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week with our coworkers, we sometimes tend to take their words or actions personally. Maybe they were on their phones while we were discussing something important or started talking to someone else while we were mid-conversation. Or maybe it wasn’t a coworker—perhaps a customer got upset over an issue and said something hurtful. These moments can feel personal. But watching this video put me at ease because it reminded me that not everything is about me. I learned to try looking at situations from the other person's perspective. For example, maybe the client had a terrible day, and the issue with our service worsened their situation. Who knows, right? It's not about me. Another strategy mentioned in the video intrigued me, but I don’t want to share everything here—you might miss out on all the great insights shared in the video. Watch it! It’s really interesting! https://lnkd.in/gEr35w5Y
