If you are a corporate trainer, then you know all about the effort and time-consuming work that is involved in the training process. It begins with accepting the job and ends with the after-action assessments. When you take on a new client, it can seem like you are reinventing the proverbial wheel time and again.

I’m a firm believer that leaders are not there to demand things, push people around, and expect to be served. Instead, leaders are there to serve others. In that, leaders need to give the people they lead certain things. These things aren’t hard to do. They’re relatively simple. Photo by Natalie Grainger on Unsplash. Many of us aren’t doing or giving our people the things they need, even when it’s easy enough to do.

Upon the completion of my 200-mile Ragnar Road Michigan race, I was awarded a medal. Every person who crossed the finish line received one as well. The cool thing about the Ragnar Road Michigan race is that the 12 medals the team receives contain a message. Individually, the messages may not make much sense. Combined, they tell a story. Yet, the medal I received contained a quote that I love to live by.

It’s the new year. And we really need to think about something. I want to ask you to consider whether or not you’re the problem for the ills of your life. This may not seem like a hope-filled, happy post. Yet, it can be in the end. In my many years of leadership, I have heard of people who struggle to feel like they belong. They state that people don’t like them, they cannot find a friend group, or they cannot advance.

It seems that there’s a model for everything. A model home, toy models, and more. But why do we have models? It’s simple. A model is an example of something that is or could be. This could be a model of a Vought F4U-1A from World War 2. It could be the luxury home you’ve been drooling over. Or it could be a, drumroll please, model life.

We looked for a company to install foam insulation in our house for years. Finally, we decided upon a company. They did a great job. The insulation company’s employees were timely. They cleaned up any mess that they made. They even noted an issue with our siding. Photo by Anika Huizinga on Unsplash. Everything seemed to be great. My wife and I were thrilled with the difference the new insulation made.

The world of work will quickly drain your soul if you’re not careful.

Because of this, our spiritual life often looks anemic. There’s not a lot of thought put into what we’re feeding our souls.

You were probably pitched more than you’d like. What if there were places where you could grow your network easily and have fun doing so? You’ll not only increase your network, but you’ll also have fun doing so.

The longer we lead, the more distant we can become from those we lead. We forget what it was like to be in their position. Some may have never been in a leadership position before. There’s plenty more that we need to remember as we lead. We have to be mindful of these things, or we will quickly become irrelevant (in the eyes of our team), distant, and angry.

This Thanksgiving holiday is no different. We’re one day away from spending time with family, friends, or alone. Ouch, if you’re in that last category. Yet, we all must regularly reflect, even more so around the major holiday.

A job is not a forever position. Throughout your life, you will have multiple jobs. The current tenure for a job is right around the 5 year mark. This job stat means you will likely have 6 or more jobs in a 30-year career. That’s a lot of jobs! However, it is the reality these days. Gone are the 30-year career and then retirement. People change jobs frequently!
