TLDR: Sharpening the axe isn't one-time. It's rhythm. Come back to the beat, not to compensation. That's how you actually impact the people around you.

Reminder for 2026 ...

[Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu]

I know it's been said before, but most people seriously underestimate how easy it is to cold email people and how impactful that can be. Confidently sending cold emails/DMs is a life-changing skill

Always love every rendition of this ...

This is going to stick with me forever

This week gave a wonderful chance for a reflective New Year's edition of #ThoughtsOnThursday. Inspired by my good friend @RenaldoAgostino and his recent appearance on @coffeewithcrain. Tell me what you think.

G.I. JOE, what a show! Lessons in the little things from a man who meant so much to me. Thank you.

TL;DR: This isn't a wish for an early exit. It's a loud reminder to live so deeply intertwined with your people that the idea of life without them doesn't make sense. https://t.co/khm9Zo09MR

I started writing again as it is a really positive creative outlet for me, especially at this juncture. This one is meaningful as I continue to navigate the next stages of my journey. Let me know what you think. I would sincerely love your feedback. https://t.co/q4bQB9zcsA

“To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special.

You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.”

— Tom Brady

[Ryan Mendonca @CoachMendonca]

For anyone who needs the reminder today, in sports, in leadership, in life.

It’s OK, You’re OK, You will be OK.

Sit, Breathe, Be.

For now, this is Enough. You Are Enough.

Telling isn't Teaching ... Read my #ThoughtsOnThursday exploring how we can best prepare the garden for growth in our coaching environments. Let me know what you think. https://t.co/6jAeRD8ixx

Another simple lesson from my daughter, Selma, and this time a plastic (not paper) straw.

Find yourself (or have a friend) frustrated at work? Maybe you need a reminder that it's "Not My Trainset." Try this one and tell me what you think.

[Ryan Mendonca @CoachMendonca]

One of my personal themes in 2025 is a whole-hearted and honest analysis of my self-talk and "the story I am telling myself." I encourage others to do the same and cut out even the slightest digs at yourself. Speak power into your positive identity! https://t.co/0FycEYZ0n7

[Ryan Mendonca @CoachMendonca]

This one may be a favourite for those who know me well. Setting up chairs was the bane of my existence for a full summer or two, but it taught me lessons in leadership that maybe I didn't realize until now.

Where in your life are you gripping too tightly? What would happen if, like Marcelo Garcia, you let go? Where might you find opportunity in the scramble?https://t.co/E8OrqvZZlr

Watching live events on @netflix makes me feel like we are one step closer to living in the hunger games. Nothing against the producers or people, I just feel that way.
