Thank you so much, Bill, for your invitation. I loved spending time with you to discuss one of my favorite subjects: Civility.

I had the best time in Tampa with Channel 8's Amber Freeman. Amber and I discussed...you guessed it - civility.

When an interviewer reads the book, listens, and asks great follow-up questions, it makes for a thought-provoking conversation.

Stepping into a TV studio always feels like home for me, and Amber and the Bloom TV team could not have been more welcoming and generous.

Thank you, Amber, to you and your entire team for your kindness and attention to detail.

Links for the interviews are in the comments.

You may have wondered: What’s with the C’s the DayⓇ I see on your posts?

I’m so glad you asked because you’re not the first to wonder how I morphed Carpe Diem and its translation "Seize the Day" to C’s the Day. Actually, I even went so far as to register it.

When I began my research and study of toxic workplaces and relationships I found that there are three elements at work in EVERY relationship - even the relationship we have with ourselves.
Those 3 elements, I affectionately call the 3 C’s.

Civility, Communication, and Character.

Civility is about our behavior.

Communication is about our messaging.

And Character? That’s who we are when WE THINK NO ONE IS WATCHING.

I discovered that as we overlook or undervalue any C, it affects the other two. Leaders and experts talk about communication and character, but they fail to take into account the power of that third C, civility. And the power of its ugly counterpart, incivility.

As we begin to increasingly focus on what I call the 3 C’s, we increasingly build trust with others and within ourselves. You know what that means? We begin to C’s the Day!

We begin to witness and experience what’s good, great, and wonderful in our day and in other folks.

So join me please: Let’s C’s the DayⓇ!

I was leaving the cafeteria at St. Leo University when I saw this empty table. A table still waiting for its guest to return.

White tablecloth, inverted drinking glass, yellow ribbon, open Bible...each with its own special significance.

The Fallen Comrade Table reminds us of the price so many have paid to protect our country. It reminds us that the country waits, families wait, and loved ones wait for those who served but never returned.

The tradition became popular after the Vietnam War to promise that those men and women who served in our military and never returned are not forgotten.

What a powerful reminder.

If you ever have an opportunity to hear Tamra Fairbrother Gaines, take it!

I've been following Tamra for years and this week had the opportunity to hear her insights on the speaking industry. As a former meeting planner, her approach was absolutely fascinating.

Yes...I took lots of notes.

I, also, loved her personal story and approach to the power of confidence. The timing was perfect. What a treat.

What a treat to meet Tamra Gaines and Debbie Peterson this week at NSA Central Florida. There's no doubt why these women have such outstanding reputations as speakers, consultants, leaders...and warm, sincere, and fun women.

I've been given feedback that hurt, but that would have served me well if I'd stopped and thought about the real message behind the words.

I've been given feedback that was glorious but insincere.

And I've been given feedback that was honest, blunt, and meant to make me better. Thankfully, there have been times I recognized it for the gift it was at the time.

Feedback doesn't come with labels to help us decipher its intent or value. It requires a pause and a ponder. Then even if we discard it, we've made the move after some consideration and not hurt feelings.

WARNING...I’m talking OBSCENITIES!

I may be a loner on this one, but my take is continually punctuating our conversations with F-bombs and other obscenities does nothing to elevate our communication, our culture, or our character (individually or collectively.)

I get it if you’re already rolling your eyes because you’re anticipating my demanding a sterile, pure, and pristine on-line and in-person world. I’m not. Crude language in private among friends is a choice. If you find it offensive, you can walk away, but it’s not easy to get away from the loud crassness in restaurants, at the airport, walking in a crowd on the street, or even at school.

There was a time when obscenities signaled anger, the punchline of a joke among a small group of friends, or the response to nailing your thumb with a hammer, but today obscenities are as common as a comma.

Comedians use crude comments to shock and grab our attention – and it often works. But we have choices: buy a ticket, walk away, not include our children.

Emotions are contagious. Behaviors are contagious. And the WORDS that influence emotions and behaviors are CONTAGIOUS.

I can’t wait to see where you stand.

As manners have lost their perceived value in society, the repercussion of neglecting them has cost us dearly.

The ingredients of manners include gratitude, humility, and awareness. It's no wonder that our relationships and interactions seem weaker - we've chosen to eliminate their building blocks.

I've been guilty myself, and maybe you have, too. You scroll on social media and you end up feeling drained! It can feel like a heavy blanket of negativity.

But...I've, also, walked away from social media with a smile on my face and challenged to hit a more ambitious goal. I've, also, felt a stronger and warmer connection to a friend or even a stranger.

It's a choice, and I have to keep that in mind. Linger on the name-calling and vitriol or pause and drink in the positive, the fun, the instructional.

I don't block, I just TRY to keep practicing my habit of scrolling pass the ugly messaging.
I understand that it seems appropriate to paint all of social media as harmful, hateful, and a waste of time, but seeing brilliant smiles, reading differing opinions, and learning about others' lives and accomplishments can prompt joy.

Any tips for straining out the negativity?

Don't we all love feedback when it's positive, glowing, and encouraging!

Often, however, our greatest lessons come from that feedback that is not invited, is not positive, and for the moment is not the least bit encouraging. (I speak from experience as a recipient!)

I've learned that once we get over the initial "ouch" of what feels like harsh judgment, there's often at least a kernel of truth that serves as a seed for growth, insight, and even inspiration.

Our greatest life lessons may come from the feedback that requires a deep breath and some pondering.
