Do you have a mentor? The path to your front-row can be an easier journey if you have a mentor who is illuminating the path for you. You know, like an usher! I’ve had a mentor ever since I saw my very first motivational speaker when I was 17, Roger Crawford.
Do you have a theme of the year? Or, maybe a word of the year? Mine is USHER…not after the singer, but after the person who has a flashlight at a theater or Las Vegas show.
This is the perfect time for setting your goals and your intentions for 2022.
Conflict and confrontation is no fun. It’s inevitable…but it’s no fun. For today’s front-row Friday video message, I suggest a couple of conversation hacks to help you stay calm and credible if you are being confronted or if you have to confront someone else on a conflict situation. If you are being confronted, you may be caught off guard.
Being Front-Row Positive every day isn’t always easy. It’s tempting to fall into the comparison trap and come up feeling less than.
Today’s message is two-fold. First, show up early and be fascinated by who you meet. Secondly, reflect on your dreams. Are you living yours? Check this out – I talk about meeting one of the original members of Earth, Wind, and Fire!
Have you ever had a chance encounter with someone and it turned out unexpectedly great? Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton met under the most bizarre circumstances – through a wrong number.
Have you ever been trapped by the comparison game? You know, when you see someone who does what you do and you immediately have judgement like you could do it better?
Where do you go to see examples of excellence? I just finished speaking at four events for High Point University in North Carolina. If you have not heard of it, check them out (www.HighPointU.org).
Have you ever fallen short of a goal? If you’re like me, of course you have. But a slip doesn’t have to mean a full on abandonment of your goal. The best way to get back on track is to admit your slip to someone you trust, hopefully get the encouragement you need to then get back on track.
