Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Dan Rockwell:
“Leading Feelings During One-On-Ones” (2-5-25).
“How do you want people to feel about themselves? Focus on four emotions.
1. Valued.
2. Challenged.
3. Supported.
4. Energized.”
……..
Soren Kaplan:
“What Makes Us Human? How We Differ from Artificial Intelligence” (2-25-25).
“Knowing what makes us uniquely human helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths—our creativity, emotional intelligence, lived experiences, and sense of purpose—so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it.”
……..
PwC:
“Small wins can yield big outcomes” (6-18-24).
“[W]orkers who regularly set modest short-term goals—generating a certain number of sales leads in a week, say, or even just completing a slide deck before lunch—were more likely than other employees to achieve broader company performance targets. What’s more …, they reported being happier at work.”

Frank Sonnenberg:
“Follow Through Turns Good Ideas Into Great Results” (2-25-25).
“Foster ownership. People are more committed to an activity when they feel a sense of ownership. Involve people in the decision-making process and emphasize that their contributions are crucial to success.”
……..
Paul Thornton:
“Communicate like a leader” (3-6-25).
“1. Present your big ideas with clarity and conviction.
2. Listen to learn what people are thinking and feeling.
3. Help people discover for themselves what changes are needed.”
