MONDAY MINUTE: AI Agents Are Coming...
We’ve spent the last couple of years learning how to use AI.
Ask it a question. Write a prompt. Generate an email. Summarize a document.
But the next shift is bigger.

AI agents are designed to do more than assist with individual tasks. They can take on multi-step work like gathering information, making decisions with defined parameters, and completing parts of a workflow.

So naturally, people are asking:
“What does that mean for my job?”
Here’s what I would do if I were you:

📌UNDERSTAND WHAT CAN BE AUTOMATED
Don’t wait for someone else to tell you which parts of your job technology can change.
Look at your work and ask:
What do I do repeatedly?
What takes significant time but little judgment?
What information am I constantly gathering, organizing, or moving?
Those are the areas most likely to change.

📌INVEST IN WHAT REQUIRES YOU
AI can process information quickly.
But technology still needs people who can provide context, exercise judgment, build relationships, influence decisions, and understand the bigger business problem.
Your value isn’t just in completing tasks.
Your value is increasingly in knowing which tasks matter and what to do with the results.

📌LEARN HOW TO LEAD THE TECHNOLOGY
The future isn’t simply about competing with AI.
It’s about learning how to work alongside it.
That means understanding how to give technology clear direction, evaluate its output, recognize when something is wrong, and know when human judgment needs to take over.

Think of it this way:
If AI agents become part of your workforce, would you know how to manage the work they produce?
That’s a skill worth developing now.

AI agents are coming, but this isn’t a reason to panic about your career.
It’s a reason to get curious.
Don’t wait until your job changes to understand how technology is changing it.

Your Monday Minute Question:
If parts of your job were automated tomorrow, what would become your greatest value to the organization?

MONDAY MINUTE: The Goal Is to Make Yourself Less Necessary
Moving our son into college for his sophomore year this weekend felt very different from last year.
Last year, there was nervousness. There were more pictures, more questions, more checking and double-checking.
This year, he was excited. He knew where he was going, the campus, and his routine. He was returning to a place that had become familiar.

And me?
I was still in planner mode.
Get in. Clean. Organize. Make sure everything is where it needs to be.

Watching him settle back into his college life reminded me of something about leadership:
The goal is to transition from dependency to capability.
This is very hard to do as a parent, but let me share 3 things I think about when developing people at work:

TEACH
When someone is new, they need context, direction, and guidance. Give them the tools and knowledge they need to understand the work, not just instructions on how to complete it.

TRUST
Once they’ve demonstrated capability, give them room to make decisions. Let them solve problems. Let them make mistakes. Resist the urge to jump in just because you could do it faster yourself.

TRANSITION
As their confidence and capability grow, your role should change. Move from doing to teaching to coaching to trusting.

That’s not becoming less valuable as a leader.
That’s leadership working.

Here is your Monday Minute question:
Are you still doing for your team what you’ve already taught them to do for themselves?

Sometimes the best evidence of great leadership is watching someone succeed without you standing beside them.

PS- check out the confident stance of our son, Bryson, after we moved him in. He's ready!

MONDAY MINUTE: Your Job Description May Be Outdated
When was the last time you actually read your job description?
Not when you applied. Not when you were hired.
Today.
Because there’s a good chance your job has changed even if your title hasn’t.

Technology changes. Business priorities shift. Teams evolve. The skills that make you valuable today may not be the same ones that got you into the role.
Your job description may still say “what” you do.
But your career is increasingly defined by how well you adapt to what the business needs next.

Maybe AI is changing how you work.
Maybe your role now requires more influence across functions.
Maybe data, communication, or strategic thinking have become more important than they were a few years ago.

So don’t just ask:
“Am I doing my job well”
Ask:
“If my job description were rewritten today, what would it say I need to be great at?”

And then the bigger question:
Do I have those capabilities or is it time to start building them?

Your company may eventually update your job description.
You don’t have to wait for them to update you.

MONDAY MINUTE: The Work Behind the Memory
My 30th high school class reunion was this past weekend. I led the reunion committee, and the planning of the entire weekend reminded me of something I've learned throughout my career:

People often experience the outcome without seeing the work behind it.

When everyone arrives, they'll see the fun part:
The hugs.
The stories.
The pictures.
The dinner.
The laughter.
The memories.

But they won't see all the work that went into it beforehand:
The calls.
The group messages.
The spreadsheets.
The schedules.
The budgets.
The follow-ups.
And of course, the last-minute changes.

And that's true far beyond reunions.
We see the successful project, but we don't see the planning behind it.
We see the great event, but not the hundreds of decisions that made it possible.
We see the confident leader, but not the years of preparation that built that confidence.

💡Good outcomes require intentionality.

Someone has to organize.
Someone has to communicate.
Someone has to solve the problems no one else sees.
And everyone has to do their part.

The goal is to do the work so well behind the scenes that people get to focus on the experience.

That's what we did. We created a space for us to reconnect, laugh, remember, and celebrate 30 years of life since we walked across that graduation stage.

📌MONDAY MINUTE REMINDER: Don't underestimate the value of the work nobody sees.

MONDAY MINUTE: You Don't Need Permission to Be a Beginner

It's back-to-school season. I know, it came too fast.

Kids are heading into new classrooms, meeting new teachers, and learning new things. Lately, I have been encouraged by the adults in my life who are doing the same.

I have friends going back to school for additional degrees. Others are pursuing certifications, learning new skills, or stepping into completely new spaces.

And I love seeing it.

Somewhere along the way, adulthood can make us feel like we're supposed to already know.
We become experienced. We build careers. We earn titles. People are beginning to come to us for answers.
And suddenly, being a beginner can feel uncomfortable.

Being a beginner doesn't mean you're behind. It means you're still growing.

You don't need permission to take the class, pursue the certification, learn the new technology, or ask the "basic" question.
You certainly don't need permission to start something new because you think you're "too old".

One of the things I admire most about the people in my life who are going back to school is that they remind me that learning doesn't have an age limit.

At 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, or beyond, there are still things we haven't learned, skills we haven't developed, and possibilities we haven't explored.

So as the kids head back to school, maybe this is a good time for the rest of us to ask:

Where am I willing to be a beginner again?

You don't have to have all the answers.
Sometimes growth starts with simply being willing to raise your hand and say, "I'm here to learn".

MONDAY MINUTE: Your Attention Is One of Your Greatest Assets

Over the past three weeks in our "Put Your Phone Down" series, we've talked about reclaiming our time, being fully present, and building habits that help us use technology instead of letting it use us.

As we wrap up this series, I want to leave you with one final thought:
Your attention is one of your greatest assets.

Every day, people, platforms, advertisers, and algorithms compete for it. But only you get to decide where it goes.

Where your attention goes, your faith grows.
Where your attention goes, your leadership grows.
Where your attention goes, your relationships grow.

That's why protecting your attention matters. The people and priorities that matter most deserve the best of you—not what's left after a day of distractions.

I don't believe phones are the enemy. They're incredible tools that help us work, learn, connect, and stay informed.

They're meant to serve us.
We weren't meant to serve them.

This month reminded me what intentional living looks like. I still catch myself reaching for my phone without thinking. I still choose the scroll over the conversation sometimes.
The difference is that now I notice.
And awareness gives me the opportunity to choose differently.

As leaders, spouses, parents, friends, and neighbors, our attention communicates what we value.

Give your attention to the people who need your presence.
Give your attention to the work that deserves your focus.
Give your attention to the moments you'll wish you had back someday.

Because at the end of our lives, we won't remember every notification.

We'll remember the conversations, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the relationships we invested in.

📵 FINAL PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN CHALLENGE

Before you pick up your phone today, ask yourself:
"Is what I'm about to do more valuable than what I'm about to miss?"
If the answer is no... put your phone down.

QUESTION:
After four weeks of this challenge, what's one change you've noticed in yourself or your relationships? I'd love to hear what you've learned.

MONDAY MINUTE: Small Habits. Big Change.
For the past two weeks in our "Put Your Phone Down" series, we've talked about how our phones quietly steal our time and how being fully present is one of the greatest gifts we can give the people around us.

But awareness alone doesn't create change.
Habits do.

Most of us don't pick up our phones because we need to. We do it because we've trained ourselves to. A notification. A moment of boredom. Waiting in line. Even a few seconds of silence can send us reaching for our phones without thinking.

The good news? Habits can be changed.

Here are three habits that have helped me become more intentional with my phone:

📵 Use Do Not Disturb. Silence your phone during focused work, family time, or before bed. (You can still allow favorite contacts to reach you.)

🔕 Turn off non-essential notifications. I keep notifications off for LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook so I choose when to check them—not the other way around.

📚 Replace one scroll with something that fills you. Read. Walk. Pray. Journal. Call a friend. The goal isn't just less screen time—it's more meaningful time.
One habit I've also found helpful is setting screen time limits. Sometimes that reminder is all I need to pause and ask, "Is this really how I want to spend my next 30 minutes?"

Leadership has taught me this:
We don't rise to our intentions. We fall to our habits.

The goal isn't to eliminate technology. It's to make sure technology remains a tool—not the thing shaping our days.

📵 PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN CHALLENGE
Choose one new habit this week and practice it every day.
Don't try to change everything.
Just change one thing consistently.
Small habits create big change.

MONDAY MINUTE: Be Where Your Feet Are
Last week, we kicked off our “Put Your Phone Down” July series by discussing how our phones steal more than just our time. They steal our attention, our conversation, our creativity, our rest, and our presence.

This week, let’s talk about being present.

One of the simplest habits my family has adopted is making the dinner table a tech-free zone. This applies at home as well as at restaurants.

No phones.
No scrolling.
Just us.

We’ve laughed over stories that never would have been shared if everyone was staring at a screen. We’ve had conversations that started with a simple question and ended with memories we’ll talk about for years. Those moments happen because we’re paying attention to each other.

Our phones can always wait.

The people sitting across from us shouldn’t have to.

Being present is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone. It says, "In this moment, you matter more than what’s happening on my screen.”

The ability to be fully present is just as much a leadership skill as it is a relationship one. People can tell when they’re competing with your phone for attention. Whether you’re leading a team, mentoring a colleague, or talking with your family, your presence communicates value.

It applies to meetings. Coffee with a friend. Your kid’s sporting event. Church. Date night.

Where your feet are, let your mind be there too.

📵PUT THE PHONE DOWN CHALLENGE

This week: Choose one place to make a tech-free zone…
Your dinner table.
The first 30-minutes after work.
Your morning coffee.
The drive home.

Protect that space and notice what changes when your attention isn’t divided.

QUESTION: Where could one tech-free habit make the biggest difference in your relationships or your leadership?

MONDAY MINUTE: Your Phone is Stealing More Than Your Time

How many times have you picked up your phone today?

Not to play music, pay a bill, or look up directions.

I mean to check a notification, scroll social media, or see if anything new had happened in the last five minutes.

If you’re like most of us, it’s probably more than you realize.

We often think our phones are only stealing our time. But they’re also stealing our attention, our conversations, our creativity, our rest, and our ability to be fully present.

According to a recent Harvard School of Public Health study, adults ages 16 to 64 spend an average of more than 6 hours each day on screens, and when you add in TVs, computers, gaming, and smartphones together, that number can climb even higher.

That made me stop and think.

How much of your day are you intentionally choosing, and how much is being chosen for you by the next notification?

I’m just as guilty, which is why I am kicking off a July series called “Put Your Phone Down.”

Each Monday this month, we’ll explore how our phones and other devices quietly rob us of things we value most and, more importantly, practical ways to reclaim our time, our attention, and our presence.
Because every notification trains our brains to seek distraction.
The good news? We can train ourselves differently.
One intentional habit at a time.

📵PUT THE PHONE DOWN CHALLENGE
This week: Put your phone away for one intentional hour every day
Pray.
Read a book.
Take a walk.
Have an uninterrupted conversation.
Journal.
Sit on the porch.

Whatever you choose, give that hour your full attention.

Next Monday, we’ll build on this habit together.

QUESTION: What do you think you’d notice if you spent one less hour looking down and one more hour looking up?
