Today’s front-row Friday video is about tenacity to reach your goals. I’m filming today from Paris as I am preparing for my first keynote in France! Yes, this is a bucket list item for me for sure. One of the stories I’m going to tell is about how you have to be tenacious when faced with obstacles along your path to the front-row.
How are you? How is change going for you in your world? I just finished leading a workshop on change called “Which V are you? Managing changes with a positive mindset. There are three choices when faced with change: Victim, Vacationer, or Volunteer.
Do you celebrate milestones as an opportunity to stop and reflect on how far you’ve come? Today’s message has a bonus guest. My Frenchie turned 75 this week (I know, he doesn’t look it!) so I invited him to share pearls of wisdom from what he has learned from 75 years on this earth. He surprised me by talking about joy.
Do you have the courage to live your dreams? The reason I ask is because several people told me they were inspired by the ‘courage’ I had to fulfill one of my items on my bucket list to take three weeks alone in Paris and take an immersion course.
Happy Front-Row Friday from Orlando, Florida. Are you a person who thinks “Showing up on time is important.”? Or, do you subscribe to “On-time is Late.” ?
If you’re like me, there are more moments of stress these days that keep popping up. Notice how I didn’t say “more bad days” popping up because if you’ve heard me speak before you know “There’s no such thing as a bad day, only bad moments that people nurse all day long.”
? Are you planning an event and need a good team-building idea? I have one for you! I just got back from keynoting an event in Mesa, Arizona for Cox Cable. I was invited to participate in a local charity called “Feed My Starving Children” where we broke up into teams, packed bags with vitamins, dried vegetables, soy and rice and boxed them up
As I finish my third week of immersion French class, I wanted to share the surprising magic that has happened as a result of being here. First off, the lesson about unfounded fear. I think the reason I didn’t do this earlier (I’ve wanted to speak fluent French for most of my adult life) was because I’m busy and I have my own speaking business to run.
How are you? Today’s Front-Row Friday message is about course-correction. Are you on your path to the front-row? Do you feel great about the people you’ve invited to your front-row? Have you made a decision that is actually not the best decision for you? It’s never too late to course-correct. Let me explain.
We get what we focus on, but it’s human nature to focus on the one bad thing, instead of the one good thing. I’ve talked before about creating a “Win-List” where you capture all of the good things happening in your world.
