Building and sustaining these connections isn't always a walk in the park. No one is going to come knocking on your door asking to be your bestie.

My dad, Bob Morris, invented “cool.” If you ever met him, you know exactly what I mean. He rarely got excited or emotional in any way because he was just too cool.

I’ve shared this quote with you before and am doing so again as it’s one of my favorites and it absolutely bears repeating!

I've been doing some research on anxiety to understand how we can better cope with the world we live in. It appears as if we are at an all-time high in crises. There are humanitarian crises both in the United States and around the world. People seem to be more reactive than ever.

We've done this work many times, but it's safe to say we are the ones learning here. In Botswana, there’s a commitment to kindness and respect like no other culture I’ve seen, and because of that, speaking straight is a struggle.

Have you ever considered the impact you have on the people around you? Whether you're aware of it or not, your actions can create a significant difference in your workplace, social circles, and even within your family. The key question to ask yourself is, "Is the impact I'm making a positive one?"

Last Monday, I found myself facing an excruciating decision, one that no dog owner ever wants to make. It was the day we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy, Blaze. At just one and a half years old, he was the epitome of the goodest boy, bringing boundless joy and love into our lives.

I've personally found this exercise to be an invaluable tool. It has prevented me from making impulsive and regrettable communication choices when I've been in a reactive state.

My first taste of victimhood occurred when I approached Sarah, the Uber driver’s car, and she had kindly opened her trunk for our luggage.

As a leader, people will follow you whether you choose to be intentional about being an example or not. For instance, you can talk about how important it is for your team to collaborate, but unless you are regularly collaborating with them, the practice will have difficulty taking root.

This approach allows businesses to develop long-term solutions that can lead to lasting success. To achieve sustainable improvement, conducting a thorough root cause analysis is essential.

When we talk about decency and the economics of business, we are talking about the same thing. I am saying that we, you and I, we all want peace, we all want decency.
