Learning, Even When You Think You Can’t When I was 12, my uncle asked me to drive his truck across the farm to pick up supplies. Excited yet terrified, my mind flooded with doubts: What if I wrecked? What if I lost control? Could I even manage the pedals and see over the hood? But my uncle believed in me. He reminded me I’d driven the tractor—how hard could the truck be? He needed my help, and honestly, the only “traffic” I’d encounter were the cows and horses. So, I took a deep breath and did it. And you know what? I didn’t wreck. I learned to trust myself. My uncle’s belief in me sparked a belief in myself that I didn’t know I had. That small moment taught me so much: ✨ Take a chance. ✨ Trust yourself. ✨ Remember, sometimes others see your potential more clearly than you do. This experience gave me confidence I still lean on today, especially when doubt creeps in. What about you? What moments have pushed you to trust yourself and grow? I’d love to hear your stories—they inspire more than you know. #GrowthMindset #CourageToTry #LifelongLearning

When life throws us a curveball, like finding ourselves stuck behind a slow-moving tractor, it's tempting to succumb to frustration. However, such unexpected moments often hold hidden lessons, if we choose to look for them. The other day, as I watched the tractor lead a growing line of cars down a narrow road, I was reminded of the power of reflection over reaction. Instead of fuming over the delay, I pondered what the moment was trying to teach me. The answer was patience. In our fast-paced world, where everything is urgent, it's moments like these that compel us to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the pace of life itself. So next time you encounter a disruption to your planned schedule, ask yourself—what is this moment teaching me? #Reflection #Patience #LifeLessons

A Scrum Project Manager that helps Cross Functional teams deliver unique products.
There's a friction we all feel when given something new to do at work. Sometimes it's beyond our job description and I get that, other times we fear it will expose our inadequacies. The fear of failure is what makes us stay in our comfort zone longer than we should. But if we're being a little bit honest about our journey and if we can go down memory lane a bit, we'd recall that we all started from ground zero. Do you know you were once a novice in the same profession you're now called an expert. This means there was a time you looked at your skill gap and took on the nature of a student and a sponge. Learning at every turn and being excited at new discoveries. So what changed? At what point did you find it easy to make excuses that excuse you from soaring higher? This is not to judge you but to encourage you to retrace those steps. The same Goliath that scared mighty men of war was seen as a stepping stone to greater heights by a shepherd boy called David. Don't let what you can't do stop you from trying! #fridayreflections #whatsholdingyouback #feelthefearbutdoitanyway #careergrowthhacks #poddiesshowingup

🏁 The Race of Consistency vs. Sporadic Efficiency 🐢🐇 In the classic fable, the tortoise and the hare, we see a powerful lesson: slow and steady truly wins the race. I found this interesting video which captures the essence of that beautifully, showcasing how consistency and perseverance can triumph over fleeting bursts of speed and energy. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the allure of quick wins. However, this story reminds us that success is often a marathon, not a sprint. It’s the daily dedication, the commitment to growth, and the relentless pursuit of our goals that ultimately lead us to victory. Let's embrace the tortoise mindset in our careers and personal lives. Remember, it’s not about how fast you go, but how consistently you keep moving forward. #ConsistencyOverSpeed #TortoiseWinsTheRace #GrowthMindset #Perseverance #CareerDevelopment

Ask people what they want for your life. Henry Ford, the automobile, mass producer, said, "if I would have asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." 🐎 Sometimes in life, when your ideas diverge from the norm, it can create tension—both within yourself and with others. ⚡️ Big decisions like following Jesus, going to school, starting a business, buying an investment property, or creating the next new innovation in technology are all part of this journey. 🚀 At times, people in your life will encourage you, and sometimes it’s you who needs to give encouragement. 💪 It’s crucial to have trusted people around who can offer both encouragement and honest feedback. If the advice is always positive without room for improvement, or always negative and discouraging, then it might be time to rethink their role in your life. 🔄 So, who do you have in your corner to help you process and strive towards your dreams? 🤔 For me, it's God, a supportive wife, and some incredible friends and family. 🙏 And who can you be that person for in this season? Hey, make it a great day! God bless. 🌟 #Innovation #Encouragement #HenryFord #TrueSupport #GodsPlan #DailyMotivation #CornerstoneInvest #PurposefulLiving #MindsetMatters
