As a 48-year old, the Oilers being on the verge of winning the Stanley Cup has me feeling as if I’m 8 years old again, the first time they won.

And a not so subtle reminder of how fast life passes.

It’s hard to articulate the feeling but I wonder if anyone else can relate?

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

Will I ever get someone’s bio right on the first take?

[Compass Collective @CompassCollectv]

@JeffTetz Can’t wait to see the impact of this.

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

We’re ushering in a new era in leadership conferences.

Doing great work isn’t enough.

Consumers have to know you exist.

SVP of content at Stingray, Steve Jones, has decoded the marketing strategies of the world’s greatest rock bands.

He shares his wisdom in the latest episode of Unleashed.

I’m sharing the “magical question” of influence with you.

Influence can make people squeamish because of charlatans looking to take advantage of you.

But done right, influence helps people connect to solve big problems.

Like Gloria Steinem stopping sex trafficking.

Influence expert @zoebchance joined me on Unleashed for an enlightening conversation about her journey to studying the topic and how we can use it too.

The best part; it’s so simple to do.

Listen to the clip for how to use the magical question, “What would it take_______?”

‘Twas the night before Christmas is a beloved holiday classic.

But the inspiration for how it originated is even better.

It was written in one sitting on Christmas Eve 1822 as the author’s gift to his sick daughter.

Here’s what happened 🎅🏽⤵️

@JeffTetz Not a creature was stirring…. save for last minute shoppers!

On Christmas Eve 1914,

One of history’s most remarkable events unfolded during WWI.

A German soldier climbed from his trench and proclaimed,

“My life is in your hands, I am out of my trench. Will one of your officers meet me halfway?”

British soldiers held their fire. ⬇️

@AngeeGabs @JeffTetz @SantaEDM Angee ❤️

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

It might not always seem like it, but Edmonton is a special place because it’s filled with special people like Angee.

Thank you to everyone who has helped @SantaEDM brighten the spirits of some well deserving folks this Christmas.

What a privilege.

An uncomfortable truth about working with high performers:

They have the same high standards of you as they do themselves.

And you may not be ready for that.

But hang in there, you will adjust.

And your personal growth and development will be the envy of your future self.

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

You’ll reach summits but never arrive.

For me, that’s the best mindset to travel through life.

It helps to enjoy moments and understand there’s more to see, to learn, other perspectives, new mistakes and, hopefully, more people to be useful to.

Have a great day everyone!

Hobbies and passion pursuits offer valuable life lessons if you’re paying attention.

I hike hundreds of kilometres on mountain trails in the summer and it never fails to reinforce what living a good life means to me.

Here’s a few:

The best thing I’ve learned about social media in the last 3 years is the number of followers someone has does not correlate to how knowledgeable or trustworthy they are.

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

When you waste time on thankless tasks, you're at risk of feeling under-appreciated.

To fix it, try this:

Stop doing it.

Then see who notices. If no one does, you have your answer.

If your boss won't help, your well-being is your responsibility. Don't be afraid to take it.

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

Gratitude is vital to your career.

Anytime you accomplish something, no matter how small, stop and thank anyone who helped.

Why it matters:

It builds a network who’s excited to keep opening doors for you.

And it compounds your success over the course of your career.

[Jeff Tetz @JeffTetz]

This quote bothers me:

“It’s none of my business what you think of me.”

Because it takes you off the hook for poor behaviour.

We should care about the affect we have on people we’re close to.

Balancing care and concern with living in your integrity is a key to a good life.
