@mwes10 @tacobell The biggest problem I see here is that you were “in line at @tacobell for breakfast”. Sometimes we are our own greatest enemy.

Authenticity and conviction without investment and belief is a great race, but it’s incomplete. @NorthridgeRoc

[Greg McKeown @GregoryMcKeown]

Everyone has opinions.

Very few people have plans.

The future belongs to people in the second category.

@mwes10 Why do you hate America?

@mwes10 I sit sideways to keep ‘em guessing 😂

When your public persona is constantly framed through a personality test's letters, colors, or numbers, don't be surprised when nobody understands that you come with nuance.

You can serve others without being a leader but you cannot be a leader without serving others. #Leadership

Captured by our Varsity Girls' coach @julianaorlov... a couple of our boys' varsity boats on the Genesee River with the Rochester skyline in the background. Being out on the water has the best views! 📸

Fantastic distinction here...“There is a world of difference between a platform and a pedestal. Pedestals are about ego and adulation. Platforms are designed to be shared and used for the benefit of others.” @cnieuwhof

Influence and popularity are not the same. Aiming to be popular is more about what you want ‘from’ people, aiming to influence is about what you want ‘for’ people. Popularity should be an unnecessary by product of influencing people for good.

Before getting too enamored with the success of others - ask yourself if you’re willing to endure the same sacrifices, setbacks, and failures it took for them to get where they are today.

Innovation is not born from the dream. Innovation is born from the struggle. #theinfinitegame

I agree with this quote from Jordan Peterson: "If you can THINK and SPEAK and WRITE, you are absolutely deadly. Nothing can get in your way." I'll add that all three start with reading. Lots of reading.

#letitgo The road to bitterness and entitlement is paved with the grievances you’ve collected.
Don’t be a grievance collector!

Every single comment every hour of every day out of the leader/project-manager's mouth is teambuilding or team unbuilding.
