*Denzel Washington look*

Are you a leader or a follower?

Say that again. No, no, no, if you’re so bold to say that mess out loud, you can stand right there and repeat what you just said. Let everybody hear it. Go on. Say it with your chest. Louder. There ya go. Wasn’t so hard now, was it. Ok. Ok. What do you think. I want your opinion, kid. What do you think I am. I am standing right here, boy, no need to look around. They don’t know, forget them. But you know, big man, don’t you. What am I. A what? A leader? Imagine that. A leader. A leader. And what do you call leaders? Speak up! Sir, exactly. There. Everybody hear that? Sir. See, we all learned something today. Now, stop wasting my time and get back out there. That’s right. Right on that green grass. Mr. Marley’s been keepin’ it healthy for us, hasn’t he. Say thank you to Mr. Marley. See, manners. Now get out. You need me to write you a letter? Move. Move! Move! You, too, Davy, get outta here.

slow down

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

Breathe.
That email can wait. Yes, it can.
Take real breaks.

Put your phone away at least one hour before you go to bed.

Slow down.
Enjoy the little things.
Make good moments.

Time is the one thing you will not get back again.

watch & learn

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

Sometimes, a positive comes from observing a negative.

A warning ignored, a talent wasted.
A life lived in quiet desperation due to choices made rather than inclination.
And then of course: pattern recognition.

That moment of understanding: Not That. Definitely Not That.
Little lessons learned on the way.
