There’s something powerful about private encouragement but there’s something delightful about public praise. I’ll never forget the first time a leader publicly complimented my work in front of the entire team. It was just a few words, but it made me stand a little taller, smile a little wider, and work a whole lot harder… Continue reading Compliment People in Front of Others

Don’t Take Rejection Personally
I’ll be honest rejection used to crush me. One “no” and I’d start questioning everything about myself. Was I not good enough? Was I wrong to even try? But then I came across what John Maxwell said in today's study that; “Rejection is an event, not a person.” Rejection isn’t a mirror reflecting our worth… Continue reading Don’t Take Rejection Personally
Cultivate a Positive Attitude
If I’m being totally honest, there are days when staying positive feels impossible. Life hits hard, people disappoint you, and plans fall apart. And to think positivity meant ignoring reality or pretending everything was okay. But that’s not it at all. Once again, in today’s reading John Maxwell said, “A positive attitude won’t solve all… Continue reading Cultivate a Positive Attitude
Redefining Failure and Success
There was a time when I thought success was about trophies, titles, or public applause. And failure? That was falling short of those visible milestones. But life had other lessons in store for me.

I saw it firsthand with someone on my team. They were struggling in one role, constantly getting drained. We switched… Continue reading Putting People in Their Strength Zones
The Power of Recognition
There was a time I gave everything I had to a project late nights, extra effort, all in. When it wrapped up, I was proud… but not one person said, “Thank you.” No acknowledgment, no feedback just silence. I didn’t need a parade, but that moment stuck with me. Then I promised myself that no… Continue reading The Power of Recognition
Increase Your Passion
A few months ago, I hit a strange season in my life. Even though I was still showing up every day, still doing the work, still smiling on the outside but on the inside, I felt numb. Have you ever experienced such? The excitement I once had about something I loved doing was fading fast,… Continue reading Increase Your Passion
Instill Motivation
I’ll never forget the leader who saw something in me before I ever saw it in myself. She didn’t just give me tasks she gave me confidence. She didn’t just tell me I was doing well she reminded me I had what it takes. That experience taught me that, True leadership isn’t about pushing people.… Continue reading Instill Motivation
Stepping-Stones for Success
When I look back at the early days of my life, I can now only smile at how little I knew and how much I’ve grown. But it didn’t happen overnight. Every small, awkward, even failed step I took became a stepping-stone that led me forward. Success isn’t a single leap it’s a series of… Continue reading Stepping-Stones for Success
Achievers Versus Average
Today as a continuation of my leadership series, I learned something intriguing and decided to share it with you. Stay with me, you might learn from it. See, I remember sitting in a meeting once, watching two team members react completely differently to the same challenge. One leaned in, asking questions, already brainstorming ways to… Continue reading Achievers Versus Average
