▪️ Water, Super Drink
I was chatting with a friend a few days ago and he was sharing experiences over the past weeks where he felt fatigued, tired and stressed. We talked about the right fuel and rest for the body, come to find out, water was not a bigger part of his diet.

“We sometimes underestimate how vital water is to our bodies and our physical and mental health.” I started sharing with him all the values of good water consumption daily.

Here are a few things I have learned along the way, water helps:
🔝 remove toxins from the body
🔝 creates a cushion for joints
🔝 strengthens the immune system
🔝 promotes healthy skin
🔝 increases energy levels
🔝 enhances metabolism
🔝 promoted weight loss
🔝 reduces fatigue
🔝 boosts productivity

“My own story wasn’t very pretty, there were days where the coffee and the energy drinks superseded my water intake, since I have removed coffees, sugary drinks, carbonated beverages, and alcohol from my diet and replaced with 60ozs of water daily, I find myself to be different in a more productive kind of way.” SHP2022©️

I bring this up because it is a relevant topic. Many professionals, students, etc. don’t not hydrate correctly resulting in headaches, tiredness, and stress. You cannot operate well if you are not your best self.

As a leader, you also lead yourself, and this small change to diet can create a huge impact on health and personal performance, now and in the future.

🌀 Pushing a bit further, who doesn’t want: balanced fluids, muscle fuel, clearer skin, boosted productivity, removal of toxins, brain boost, calorie control, blood normalizer, and fatigue control.

Listen Leader! You are a hard worker, time to hydrate up, protect yourself - hydrate up on water. Cheering you on, because you can…

A short 7 years ago, I changed my direction in life. This meant a career change, new responsibilities and embarking on a new journey.

While it hasn't been an easy road, it took a great deal of courage and personal beliefs to change my mindset and leadership perspective.

While I continue to move forward, the best part of my journey continues to be the people I have met along the way, the lives I have touched and the encouragement I have provided to others.

The phrase, "Everything rises and falls on leadership," is something I hold true.

Leaders growing Leaders!

▪️A Barber and A Sage
There is a special relationship that men have with their barbers. Today I sat in the barber chair and we were exchanging weekly notes. The conversation turned to humanity and our time we have on earth.

Here is the premise of his words:
“On earth, we are all connected through a soul, the soul is what binds us and keeps us human. We are placed in a body given to us by our parents to carry out a purpose in life. We don’t always understand the purpose, but during our lifetime - the purpose unfolds and reveals itself.”
Ben The Barber.

🔝 I was captivated by this definition of Judaism. I heard the click in my brain, I realized and connected to his words, his beliefs and his truths.

🔝 We are all connected, not only by a heart, or by belonging to the same tribe, but also by a soul that magnifies our being for life and love.

Here is what I was left thinking:
🛡 Purpose: what is your purpose in life? How do you define it?
🛡 Passion: what sets your soul on fire? What do you still have to do?
🛡 People: how are you remembered? What do others say about you? How do you touch lives?
🛡 Production: what are your results? What is your mark? How have you left the world a better place?
🛡 Paragon: What is your definition of perfection? Have you applied yourself? Did you strive for it?

“I believe we all ask ourselves these questions, but have we conducted a post mortem on who we are and have we identified his will and our purpose during life’s journey?” SHP2021©️

🔝 We all share the commonality of life and of death. The measure of who we are then becomes the purpose on how we fill the minutes in our lives, this includes the ones we celebrate, the ones we encourage, the ones we support, the ones we touch. This is the mark we leave until our purpose is fulfilled.

Become a Sage. Live with Purpose.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai gave a speech in only 60 seconds. He said:

“Imagine life is a game of 5 balls that you manipulate in the air trying not to drop these balls. One of them is rubber, and the rest is glass.

The five balls are:
Work, family, health, friends, soul.

It will not be long before you realize that (work) is a rubber ball. Whenever you fall, you will jump again, while the other balls are made of glass. If one of them falls, it will not return to its previous form.

It will either be damaged, bruised, cracked or even scattered.

You have to be aware of that and strive for it.

Manage your work efficiently during working hours, take the time to be assured of your sincerity, give the necessary time to your family and friends, take appropriate rest, and take care of your health. If you are gone, it isn't easy to return as it was.”

▪️I Respect You
There are so many ways to genuinely show signs of respect and care. Here is a list of some of my favorite ways to demonstrate respect:

➰ We need your opinion on…
➰ Tell me your point of view again…
➰ Thank you for your contribution…
➰ I appreciate your knowledge…
➰ You are really good at…
➰ I am honored to work with you…
➰ What are your views on…?
➰ Your authority is welcomed…

“Having respect, showing dignity, and establishing kindness can create a level of collaboration and partnership that leads to genuine support and willingness to go the entire distance.” SHP2021©️

There are times when we believe we should be efficient instead of being genuine.

🛡Think: always do for others wholeheartedly, especially the ones who might not be able to do for you. This is the highest honor and respect you can give of yourself, in the face of another.

▪️Making Big Plays
You recognize the moment, coach is on the sideline, looking at the clipboard, giving the plays to the team.

Very similar, this can be translated to everyday business. In order to “win,” we must take inventory in 5 areas:

🛡 Know the Players
🛡 Understand the Game
🛡 Track the Score
🛡 Run the Plays
🛡 Know when to “Go All In”

“I am yet to find a person who didn’t strive to win, this means we must be confident and understand the rules of the game.” SHP2021©️

Winners are people who have failed before and understand what it takes to move past. They understand when to adapt and when to create a substitution.

Mentality - Never Quit…

The message: We Serve
Everyday, Serve Someone, Put People First. Add Value. This is our life’s greatest mission.

1. ………value people
2. Think of ways to add value to people…
3. Look for ways to add value to people…

“I cannot value myself until I add value to others, I cannot be successful until I surround myself with the success of others, I cannot win unless I learn from others.” SHP2021©️

We need to start Yearning, Learning, Earning: Greatness is yours always.
