Sometimes succeeding is hard work - or you could decide it isn’t.

Change won’t happen because you say it should. Change happens when there’s enough trust to talk about the uncomfortable things.

If you found out everything you thought to be true is all made up, what would you do differently? (Hint: it is)

What if building trust on a team has nothing to do with the other people?

You know that thing you've been trying to do, but you never seem to be able to get it right? What's the craziest thing you could imagine doing? Try that. I'll bet you'll look at the problem differently if nothing else.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the problems you notice? Forget them. Instead, pick one small place and make a change. Then another. Then another.

Excuses help you feel better about having a problem as you’re telling yourself that you’re powerless to change the circumstances. The next time you notice yourself making an excuse, ask, “What if I can solve this problem?” Then do it.

It’s easy to become discouraged by problems and give up hope. Yet … Hope is what helps you believe it can be better. Hope is what keeps you in the game. Hope is aspirational. Imagine the impact of your actions when problems marinate in hope.
