We must be mindful of the opportunities that come our way, and grab them the soonest they come along because that same opportunity may never come along again. Yes, sometimes another opportunity may come but it will never be the same. Opportunities can help you better yourselves, advance your journey, and help you achieve your goals. One opportunity you shouldn't let pass is the opportunity to pursue further studies because that one can open more doors for you. #mastersdegree #mastersgraduate #mastersprogram #true #opportunitiesforgrowth #opportunities #consultingservices #leads

21 years in a Row is an incredible accomplishment! I can proudly say Baird is the best company I have ever worked with. Making the career change leap was terrifying but it has been without a doubt, the best professional decision I've ever made. #privatewealthmanagement #Financialadvice #investing #retirement

Good morning my professional friends and family! We all have talents, whether it’s a skill, a passion, or something that just comes naturally to us. These talents aren’t just random—they’re gifts, and it’s up to us to use them in a way that makes a difference. It’s like being handed a precious tool; what really matters is how you choose to use it. When you put your talents to good use, you’re not just making the most of what you’ve been given—you’re also honoring that gift by giving something valuable back. Whether it’s helping others, creating something meaningful, or excelling in your work, using your talents is a way of showing gratitude and making an impact. So, don’t let your talents go to waste. Figure out what you’re good at and find ways to use those abilities to make a positive difference. That’s how you turn your gifts into something even greater—a contribution to the world and a way to give back to something bigger than yourself. Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. -       Leo Buscaglia

Four years in business—unbelievable! To mark the occasion, I splurged on (another) camera and dove right back into the mission: making radical, life-changing impacts across all systems. When I say radical, I mean making big moves that count. People often ask, "Can one person really make a difference?" They're right; I don’t do this alone, I never have. I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with passionate lived experience experts, practitioners, leaders, and organisations, all committed to empowering each other and reshaping systems—and the experiences of those who connect with them. This isn’t just about stories or numbers. It’s about giving people caught in the struggle a real shot at a better life. We're not just talking—we're taking action to build safer communities and unlock potential in those left behind. I want this collective legacy to bleed impact—a testament to a better world. As a young person, I doubted what was possible, but now, that drive fuels me. I want my sons to know the power of standing with those who stand alone. This one hits home. It blows my mind that what started as a dream — Wounds & Wisdom — is now a powerhouse training organisation and consultancy firm, shaking up multiple sectors. I look forward to my partnership with Stephane Shepherd at 16 Yards doing the same (and more). Huge thanks to everyone on this journey, for sharing their stories and knowledge. Your grit and insight drive everything we do. I can't wait to keep pushing boundaries with those who inspire me. Every day, I think of those who believed in me—some still stand with me, others have passed on. Their support is never forgotten. And to my rock, my wife and kids—you keep me grounded and fired up through every challenge. Now, let's get back to work.

Here's a reality check: Your work doesn’t have to change the world to be meaningful. Not every job or business will change the world, and that’s fine. Many of us are just trying to get by, support our families, and make a living. Sometimes, the most impactful work is the thing that happens behind the scenes or in everyday interactions. It’s about being consistent, showing up for your clients, and creating a positive experience. Whether you’re providing a service, making a product, or simply being a good team member, you’re still making a difference in someone’s life. So, let’s stop putting pressure on ourselves to be world-changers and start appreciating the value of the work we do every day! What matters most is that you’re making your corner of the world a little better.

Over the past few years at Cardinal Counsel , I've been deeply involved in our customer service experiences. Managing clients while handling most of the technical work can be quite daunting. I am not even going to downplay how hard this can be. However, one thing that has kept me going is my commitment to high standards. I make it a priority to keep my word and communicate promptly when circumstances change and make it impossible to deliver as promised. it’s hard. I know but we should all strive to hold ourselves to a higher standard. Why? Because only when you do so can you truly stand out and seize the opportunities that come your way. And I think it as simple as keeping to your word. Doing what you said you would do. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐝, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. If you hold yourself accountable for meeting deadlines and communicate effectively throughout the process, I promise you, everyone will be happier. This is your reminder and honestly my reminder to constantly hold ourrselves to a High Standard. Happy New week!
