He is Alive!!!

“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Executive presence isn’t about your title… it’s about how you show up.

When you walk into a room:
Do people lean in or tune out?
Do your words create clarity or confusion?
Do you bring calm confidence or tension?
Do people trust your judgment under pressure?
Real leaders don’t demand attention — they command it through consistency.
Every interaction sets the tone.

🎙️ Recently had the opportunity to join the Build Your Success podcast with Brogen

We had a great conversation about leadership, safety, and culture — and how those three things are inseparable.

In the episode I shared a bit about my journey:
I started my career as a scaffold builder and spent the last 15–16 years working in safety. Today through Barksdale Safety Solutions and Barksdale Leadership Solutions, our mission is simple:

Educate. Equip. Empower.
Help organizations create safety…and build leaders people want to follow and cultures people never want to leave.

A few key ideas we discussed:
🔹 Leadership is servant influence
Leadership is about adding value, building trust, and helping others succeed.
🔹 Culture is how people think, act, and interact
It’s shaped every day by what leaders reinforce and tolerate.
🔹 Culture isn’t what we expect… it’s what we accept.
🔹 Poor culture has real business costs
Disengagement, turnover, and hidden operational friction.

We also talked about the danger of “flavor-of-the-month” change initiatives and why organizations need to measure culture and intentionally invest in leadership development.

One example we discussed was Microsoft’s shift from a culture of “know-it-alls” to “learn-it-alls.”

That shift changed the trajectory of the entire organization.

Because culture doesn’t change through slogans…
It changes through leadership behaviors that are reinforced consistently over time.

If you're passionate about leadership, safety, and building strong organizations, I think you'll enjoy the conversation.

Growth doesn’t happen in a day… it happens daily.

Most people want to grow. Few people actually have a growth plan.

Reading. Reflecting. Learning. Applying.
Small intentional steps — every single day.

You may not see change overnight, but stack enough good days together and everything shifts.

What are you doing today to grow on purpose?

🚀 It’s National Entrepreneur Week with the U.S. Small Business Administration! 🇺🇸
This week we celebrate the risk-takers, builders, dreamers, and doers who keep our economy moving.
Entrepreneurs don’t just create businesses —
They create jobs.
They create solutions.
They create impact.
And if you’re a small business owner, you already know…
You’re not just running a company.
You’re juggling marketing, sales, follow-ups, scheduling, invoicing, customer service — and about 47 other things.
That’s exactly why we’re officially announcing:

Most organizations have a culture.
Very few can actually see it.

Culture isn’t your values on the wall.
It’s the signals people experience every day — through decisions, behaviors, and what gets reinforced (or ignored).

That’s exactly why I’m hosting Culture Signals: A 3-Day Live Culture Health Experience.

📅 March 3–5
⏰ 11:00 AM–12:00 PM CST
🎟 One registration covers all three sessions

Over three live, interactive sessions, we’ll explore:
• How culture is really shaped
• Where blind spots often hide
• How leaders unintentionally influence culture every day

If you influence people, performance, or safety, this experience is for you.

Most culture problems don’t show up in metrics.

They show up in missed handoffs, quiet frustration, and decisions that stall.

The question isn’t what culture you want.

It’s what culture is actually being experienced.
