When leaders look at me and say, "But this is how we've always done it."

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

We finally got our water back 🙌🏼

This past week was really something. S/O to all my fellow Texans for hanging in there.

There was no time for Twitter last week while we battled 42 degree indoor temperatures and burst pipes 💀

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

@shiftyes Well said!! There’s always an opportunity to learn and grow 🙌🏼

Working a job you don’t love?

Find elements of your role that can serve you in the future. Find meaning in your current situation.

Not everyone can up and quit their job, nor should they. Be tactful!

What happens when you focus on your strengths? You...

1) Find meaning in your work
2) Achieve greater satisfaction
3) Are able to teach others

Be aware of your “weaknesses”, but do not solely focus on them.

Quote of the Week 🗣

“‘I wish’ is code for ‘I don’t want to do anything differently’”- @JayShettyIW

Get out of your comfort zone and go after that thing you’re always thinking about! 🙌🏼

Focusing on my learning agility this weekend 🧠

Areas we can all be more agile:
1) Results
2) Change

Leverage flexibility and empathy to get there. Most times we aren’t navigating these things alone.

Success doesn't guarantee happiness, and happiness doesn't require success.

If you don’t believe me, read @AskMateo’s new book, #BlackBuck!

What external forces are distracting, and inadvertently shaping, you?

Is it social media? A coworker?

The only way to build a meaningful life is to filter out that noise and look within.

🗣Quote of the Week:

“The more we define ourselves in the relation to the people around us, the more lost we are.”

- @JayShettyIW in #ThinkLikeAMonk

[Sarah Noll Wilson @sarahnollwilson]

If you notice someone struggling today, mention it…offer a break, a sandwich, a coffee, leaving early for a day. Micro actions can result in macro impact.

“I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.” - Charles Horton Cooley

Remember, your #PersonalGrowth shouldn’t aim to meet some “better” ideal. It should be rooted in genuine interest in learning & growth.

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

What’s on your “To-Do List” this weekend?

For me, it’s:
1. Self-care for Service
2. Controlling & engaging energy wisely

Don’t be afraid to focus on YOU!

“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.”

When looking for a new job, regardless of what got you here, this quote rings true.

It’s up to you to leverage that experience towards your future growth & development.

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

Don’t fall victim to the urgent over the important.

Clearly define priorities with yourself and your team! This is what good leaders do

#LeadershipTips #PersonalGrowth

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

The quality of an answer is determined by the quality of the question!

To improve my questions, I’m continuing to focus on:

1. Active Listening
2. External self awareness
3. Understanding that I don’t know what I don’t know

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

Tenacity can be a virtue, but it’s not always crucial for everyone to observe how hard you work at something.

1. Be consistent
2. Control the controllable
3. Don’t give up

#PersonalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #SelfImprovement

[Adam Aldred @PodcastReserve]

How often are you getting feedback at work? How often are you asking for it?

1. “Normalize” feedback on your team
2. Share what you’re working on so others can look for it too
3. Create dedicated time/space to exchange

Ignorance is not bliss!
