Take a Risk, Reap the Reward
The good stuff always comes with risk—and inevitable failure—and then another risk. Playing it safe will get you the bare minimum—the leftovers, even—all the discarded scraps that those who were willing to take the risks left behind. To get the ripest, juiciest fruit, you’ve got to get out of the shade and out on the limb.

TOUGH CONVERSATIONS

CONFLICT
Every person at some point in their life crosses paths with conflict. The problem is when we do have conflict, we don't deal with it in hopes it will just disappear. Ignoring conflict won't solve any issue or make it go away. So, if you have a conflict with someone make it a point to address them and try to see the bigger picture!


That Thing We Try to Avoid
No one likes confrontation. Just the thought of confronting someone can cause us anxiety. Being confronted isn’t any better. Sometimes, it might even be worse. But when it’s done right—with the right intentions—confrontation can be helpful.

Quotes About Captive 



  • Captive people have a need for song. --Michelle Cliff
  • Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests.

Are You Holding Onto Your Listeners?
Hold Them Captive = When someone is captivating, they hold the attention of others. This is a difficult challenge today as attention spans continue to drop. If we are engaging and captivating, we have a chance to hold the attention of others long enough for them to act on our words. The key is to hold people captive with the great ideas you have to deliver.

Can is About Ability; Won’t is About Attitude
Attitudes Can Change = The Book Of The Week is How To Lead When Your Boss Can’t (Or Won’t). To do well we have to adapt. The first step is to ask yourself, “Is your boss a poor leader because they don’t want to be a good leader or because they can’t be a good leader?” Is the issue ability or attitude? A boss with an ability problem is more challenging to adapt to than a boss with an attitude issue.  


Adaptability

Are you confident in yourself? Do you have the ability to adapt to your surroundings? You don't have to have all the answers right in front of you, you just need to have the confidence that together you can find them.
