Just Ask
Just Ask
Why are you holding yourself back from asking someone for it? Just ask.
The worst that can happen is that they say ‘no.’
Losing tastes so much better than not playing.
Measure It
Measure It
Everyone is talking about ‘social determinants of health.’
Fads come and go before they get a chance to stick around.
There could people in organizations who believe in health equity but cannot gather the kinetic energy to move it forward.
What gets measured gets done.

Zero-In On Your Customers
Zero-In On Your Customers
We tend to give in too easily to our competition.
The market isn’t buying from an alternative manufacturer—the challenge is that they’re buying from no one.
If you want to increase sales, you’ll need to get your customers to decide not only that you’re worth their time and money, but also motivate them to act now instead of later.
Zero-in on your CUSTOMERS…not the COMPETITORS.
This will make your pull-throughs worthwhile.

The Way Forward
The Way Forward
“The more we value things outside of our control, the less control we have.” –Epictetus
When we’re tasked with increasing sales by 10%, we’ve been provided guidance on speed and direction. How we get there is on us.
The only thing that’s truly in our control is maximum effort (not the end result: maximum sales).
When we detach our emotional state from the results of our effort, we maximize the chances that our effort will be focused and effective. Who knew!
Passing Judgement
Passing Judgement
During a virtual meeting: echo, echo, echo. Echo, …..
We hear it, but where is it coming from? It’s hard to blame a single person when everyone’s microphone is unmuted.
Similarly, it’s hard to make conclusions about a person simply based on their reaction to a situation.
No need to pass judgement. We just might be looking at a mirror.
Focus on Form
Focus on Form
Back at the desk after Thanksgiving: this is the last stretch. It’s not over until it’s over.
For optimum performance, focus on your form.
Is your head clear? Are you proud of your intentions? Is this what matters most to you right now?
Go.
A Moment First
A Moment First
The knee jerk reaction is to congregate a meeting to solve a problem.
Before you do that, though, ask if the answer could be right under your nose. Right in front of you. Staring at you the entire time.
Purpose

Why are we working?
Those who believe that they’re destined for something, better figure out the answer to this question. Otherwise, they’ll continue working for someone else’s agenda.
It has been said that a chicken is just the egg’s way of making another egg.
