“Don’t suffer in silence” should be a normal thing for someone to say/hear.

No one industry has the monopoly on mental health issues.

Do we admire successful people because of what they’ve accomplished?

Or do we admire successful people because they have accomplished something we believe most people can’t.

Waiting for perfect conditions means that you will arrive late and irrelevant.

A 70% solution executed aggressively now is far superior to a 100% solution executed later.

Task Force 61/2: Helping turn concept to reality. Great work by LtCol Cuomo and his Marines as they partnered with the Estonian military! https://t.co/9lmzrCQjhK

@rwpallas Wait, you sleep? 😂

A reliable tactic for getting ahead is to wake up before your competition does.

Those early wins will compound throughout the day.

Win the rep, win the set, win the day.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Isn’t it liberating to know that you always have a choice? That’s a powerful notion.

Get smart on things outside your niche. You’ll either get smarter within your lane or you’ll find a better one. Either way, win-win.

Sunday.

Recharge. Reflect. Reorient.

Monday is going to come barreling down the tracks. Be ready.

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

Opportunities are fleeting. We must be able to recognize them and have the courage to seize them before they pass.

Some more thoughts on #leadership v #mentorship

Mentorship matters; tremendous impact when disconnected from the constraints of an organizational bottom line.

If you rely solely upon a boss or company to provide mentorship, you’ll realize but a fraction of your full potential.

[Justin Gray @justingrayusmc]

“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.”

[Justin Gray @justingrayusmc]

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there striving to raise awesome humans and be the best role models they can!

[Justin Gray @justingrayusmc]

Drink up!

If you stay within your department or even your company when seeking mentorship, you’re setting the bar way too low!

#Mentorship opportunities are all around us. We just have to find them. Be proactive and creative in seeking mentorship opportunities.

@EmanThinks You could make an argument that organizational-led mentoring programs only create the conflict at the individual level. What choice does a young professional have?

[Justin Gray @justingrayusmc]

@EmanThinks Their full attention. Attention not at the risk of interruption by an organizational bottom line.

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

[Justin Gray @justingrayusmc]

In promoting the capabilities and successes of your subordinates, you are inherently putting yourself in a positive light. Just have to be conscious enough to take care of others before self, and it still works out in the end.

[Justin Gray @justingrayusmc]

@EmanThinks The positive paradox is that by promoting those who work for you, you are inherently putting yourself in a positive light. The difference is that you’re now bringing others up with you.

Rising tide lifts all ships…
