I feel like I have 1 and 3 fairly dialed, but 2… that’s something for me to look at. I know I will get a lot from your leadership series. Right now, I’m in a support role for a small business owner and lovely human who is lacking in leadership qualities when difficult situations arise — yet whom is far from a boss too. It’s an interesting dynamic to navigate, with the focus bouncing between internal staff, community members and contract workers, all at play every day.
Christa, thank you for taking the time to read and comment. Thank you! I find that owners/leaders sometimes think they are being "nice" by not confronting people or situations directly. I would argue the exact opposite is true. Being clear with someone is the kindest thing you can do -- even when it stings. If I can add value to you by hopping on a call to learn more, please DM me. I'd be happy to do that! Have a productive week.
I’d be happy to hop on a quick call to discuss, Christa. Would be happy to serve you. In fact we could start with a free DISC profile report. Let me know. Have a great day!
What a great question August. I want to help empower people to live authentically who they are and not who they think others might want them to be. I believe everyone was born on purpose and for a purpose. I write about how personal growth will change what you think is possible. I also wrote about leadership topics as you see from this post.
Thank you for your posts. Each one takes we on a journey when seeking the meaning of your words and selfishly the relevance in the current chapter in the book of my life.
When reading the Holy Bible I find that the same scripture has different meanings to multiple people and even to myself when reading it during different seasons in my life.
The Holy Spirit provides counseling and comfort when I’m willing to surrender and hear what I sometimes miss as God whispers to me.
Unsure if this Paul Harvey excerpt (at 19:00 minutes into the YouTube) during Mr. Sam Walton’s Memorial (celebration of life) is in sync with this posting.
My memories quickly landed here when reading and meditating on your post.
“If with pleasure you are viewing, any work one is doing, if you like it, if you love it, tell them, now!” — Paul Harvey describing his friend Sam Walton.
From the stockroom to the boardrooms…
A Barnabas like none other.
Encourager…
From my perspective one of the many character traits of Mr. Sam was his “listening” to any and all in his paths in life.
Dr. Paul Faulkner at Resources for Living shared his favorite memories of Mr. Sam in the Walmart auditorium not long after Mr. Sam’s death in 1992.
Paul said in his lifetime he had never heard anyone that mastered the art of “ASKING QUESTIONS” like his friend Sam. One struggles to learn and grow in life when one does all the talking. Paul’s friend Sam helped people like and then love themselves. He provided value in who they were because he chose to be interested enough to ask them questions about their perspective on whatever the topic, personally and professionally.
Look forward to your postings each week.
Christ’s blessings on your vulnerable postings of life. May your words help people meet their Creator through your journaling.

Morning. Thank you, Tarek!
It might be more beneficial for me to connect with you re: my struggle in finding my purpose. I have thought about reaching out — I’ll
give it some thought.

I’m curious what your use of Authentic is referent to?

Great share David. Thank you my friend! Asking questions is underrated.
