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.
……..
Candace Smith:
“A Guide to Effective Public Speaking” (9-15-24).
“The most important aspect of effective public speaking is authenticity. Let your passion for your subject shine through, and your audience will respond positively. With practice and persistence, you’ll find your unique voice and become the kind of speaker who not only informs but inspires.”

Jim Harter, Gallup:
“U.S. Employee Engagement Inches Up Slightly After 11-Year Low” (9-26-24).
“[I]mprovements in quarter two of 2024 are most pronounced in foundational elements: knowing what’s expected at work; having materials and equipment to do work right; and having an opportunity to do what employees do best.”

Frank Sonnenberg:
“Back to Basics: The Roots of Success” (9-17-24).
“The true path to excellence lies not in complexity, but in the ability to execute the basics flawlessly.”

Marcel Schwantes:
“Why Your Employees Are Quitting Comes Down to 3 Words”
(9-19-24).
“[C]aring for people in transactional workspaces is simply not common practice. This is unfortunate because caring for others is an important human prerequisite for any leader to retain and engage their best people.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“12 Habits of Genuine People” (9-5-24).
“They know who they are and don’t pretend to be anything else. Their direction comes from within, from their principles and values. They do what they believe to be the right thing, and they’re not swayed by the fact that somebody might not like it.”
