Living a fearless life is not realistic. Living a courageous life, where we experience fear and walk toward what scares us without flinching, is living out #Bushido.

Yes, there is a way to live by this code in a modern world.

When you start to get clear on what your purpose is, everything else gets clear as well.

Need some help finding yours? It begins with asking the right questions…

The first step to winning in any area of your life is simply believing you can. All success begins with “Yes, I can…”

@HarvardBiz As leaders, we need to take serious. The alternative? Hire, then rehire, then hire again…

How often do we find our identity in the title on our card and not the things that really matter?

@foundr Action is key. Many know what to do. Few do it.

What could change if you got clear on your #purpose in life? The better question is this: Where will you still be six months or a year from now if you don’t?

Wise words from Megan Remark, Regions Hospital President and CEO, talking about post-pandemic life, “I’m a lot more grateful, a lot more patient, and leading through the lens of what’s important, not urgent.” We can all learn from this model!

Another gold nugget from today's @GoodnessPays Breakfast... Give leaders time to grow. Measure how well they communicate, how well they listen, how they pick other people up first... then the movement and growth of the business long-term.

From Ray Kowalik at the @GoodnessPays Breakfast today: We're accountable to each other. Our leaders work not for themselves, but for the benefit of the company. We help each other succeed.
