Compete.

Holy Mbappe. What a machine.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Get better.

@PatrickCFOD amen to that

Calm is a competitive advantage.
A healthy perspective is a competitive advantage.

Own the way you show up.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Pursuing a vision requires taking risks. Taking risks means you will make mistakes and be wrong at times. It’s part of the process.

Progress is messy.

Expect mistakes, own them, apologize when necessary, and keep moving forward.

Progress > Perfection

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

The longer you focus on your past, the longer you distract yourself from your present and delay your future.

Focus on what matters.
Focus on what you can control.

Composure is a skill you can train.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You can choose comfort or you can choose growth.
You can’t choose both.

Do the work.

The World Cup continues to deliver. What a day.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Nobody is immune from obstacles. Nobody escapes adversity in life.

You can either be overcome by it or you can overcome it.

The battle is won or lost in your mind.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Incredible day with @AZGolfAssn. Great discussion on self-awareness, communication, self-leadership and fear.

Nothing better than being onsite to serve and equip leaders and organizations.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Words matter. You can criticize and tear down or you can speak life into people. Leaders worth following use words that encourage, build up, promote, inspire and give hope.

The language you use becomes the culture create.

Leaders set the tone. Be worth following.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

We expect athletes to put in work on their own in order to maximize their growth. What about leaders?

When are you putting in the work to be a better communicator, more self aware, invest in your mindset?

You won’t get better on accident.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You are not your goals. You are your habits. What you repeatedly do. Because these come from who you actually believe you are.

It’s not what you want that shapes your life, it’s what you do every day.

Live intentionally.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You don't need good circumstances to have a good mindset. You need a better mindset to have a better perspective on your circumstances.

Own the way you think.

Mindset is the advantage.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Do you want to be lied to in order to feel better and be comfortable? Or do you want to be told the uncomfortable truth that will make you better?

The best want to hear the truth because the best want to get better.

Be about growth.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Work hard
Love well
Stay humble
Forgive quickly
Be present
Rest
Choose hope
Be grateful

Don’t over complicate things
