Let’s be honest—when you sit down at the end of a long day, and let’s say 99 things went right, and one thing went wrong, what do you usually talk about over dinner? If you’re like most people, the conversation centers around the one thing that went wrong.
Have you ever faced a tough decision and felt stuck, unsure of what to do next? Maybe it was a career move, a personal challenge, or an opportunity that could change your life. In those moments, who do you turn to?
There’s an old saying: Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. But I want to take that one step further—Don’t just dress like the job you want. Act like the job you want. What does that mean?
Front-Row Friday: Just for Today
Have you ever had one of those days where everything feels like a heavy lift? The kind of day where even getting out of bed seems like a monumental task, and you’re tempted to just pull the covers over your head and stay there? If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through social media, seeing someone else’s highlight reel, and suddenly feeling like your own life is falling short? It happens to the best of us. In a world where people broadcast their best moments—filtered, curated, and polished—it’s easy to get sucked into the comparison trap. But here’s the problem: comparison never leads to fulfillment.
Kindness isn’t just a thought—it’s an action. That’s why we call them acts of kindness. And in a world that can sometimes feel dark or heavy, those small, intentional moments of kindness can be the light someone desperately needs. Recently, I was reminded of this in the most touching way.
Where are you sitting in life? Are you up front, engaged, and excited? Or are you stuck in general admission, comfortable but unchallenged? Worse yet, have you slipped into the balcony, disengaged and watching life from a distance?
This week, I was struggling to come up with a theme for my Front-Row Friday message. Nothing was clicking, so I did what I always do when I need clarity—I asked myself a simple question:
Do you have an event coming up that you’re feeling nervous about? Maybe it’s a presentation, a networking opportunity, or a major life milestone. If so, you’re not alone. Nerves often come when something truly matters to us. Today, I want to share some ideas to help you shift your mindset and approach your event with confidence and positivity.
Have you ever walked into a conference, a boardroom, or even a social event and felt like everyone already knew each other? The groups seem set, the connections already made, and you’re left standing on the outside looking in.
