Help feed children in Key West!

My daughter, Natalia, is in her 4th year of leading the "Kids for Food Program" in Key West. Last week, we packed 10,240 snacks for children in 57 classrooms at Gerald Adams Elementary and Poinciana Elementary, so that students can eat a mid-morning snack and teachers don't have to spend their own money on food for kids who don't have enough. We do the same every month for the entire school year!

Here's the problem: The need this year at Gerald Adams doubled and is 50% higher at Poinciana. It's shocking to think that in a community with so much, we have children whose most basic needs are not met. I'm proud of Natalia, our volunteers, and our amazing partner, the SOS Foundation.

We need to raise $30,000, and so far, we only have $2,000! If you're interested in donating and/or volunteering, please let us know. We can provide a tax-exempt form from SOS. Natalia's GoFundMe page is https://www.gofundme.com/manage/help-feed-key-west-kids-classroom-snack-program

Trust is earned. It is the foundation of every team, and every relationship. Here are some quick tips from my column this week.

3 Keys to Building Trust With Your Team

There has never been a successful business—or relationship—without trust. It is the foundation on which good results are built. The question for every manager isn’t simply, “Do I trust my employees?” A better question is: “What am I doing every day that makes my employees trust me.

1. Ask before you assume.
Seek input about what employees need to do their jobs well. When there is a problem, don’t immediately assume you know the answer. Ask the people closest to the work what they see—and what solutions they recommend. People are more likely to support solutions they helped create.

2. Get in the trenches.
One of the fastest ways to build credibility is to occasionally step out of the office and experience the work alongside frontline employees. When the team is short-staffed or overwhelmed, jump in and help. Simply showing that you are willing to roll up your sleeves sends a powerful message: We’re in this together.

3. Let people do their jobs.
Resist the urge to micromanage. If you have hired someone, trained them and given them clear expectations, give them room to succeed. When they make a mistake—which they inevitably will—help them fix it and learn from it rather than immediately taking the work away. Trust doesn’t mean lowering standards. It means giving people the opportunity to meet them.

Thank you to all those who attended the seminar in Key West yesterday. Remember the one secret to maintaining your calm in a turbulent world: The rule of 5/5/5. Will this matter in 5 years, 5 months or 5 weeks? If not, let it go.

We spend way too much of our precious time ruminating, worrying and trying to manage people and situations that are out of our control. Grace begins with our minds.

1. Challenge Yourself – Turn it into a game. Work faster, smarter, or try a new approach.
2. Add Humor – Find something to laugh about; it boosts energy and engagement.
3. Do It First – Get it out of the way early to reduce stress.
4. Use Incentives – Reward yourself when you finish (coffee, break, something enjoyable).
5. Pair It with Pleasure – Add music, a favorite drink, or something you enjoy.

If you're feeling like there just isn't enough time, and you can't get it all done, you're not alone! Here's my recent column with 4 quick tips that truly work.

Four Quick Fixes When You’re Feeling Overwhelmed

Overwhelm happens—to all of us. When your mind is racing and everything feels like too much, you don’t need to solve everything at once. You just need a way to steady yourself in the moment. Here are four simple tools:

1. The Next Right Thing
Don’t tackle everything—just do one small thing. Send the email, make the call, get a glass of water. Small steps create momentum and ease the pressure.

2. Just for Today
Narrow your focus. “Just for today, I’ll let go of worrying about tomorrow,” or “Just for today, I’ll be kind to myself.” It makes what feels overwhelming more manageable.

3. 5-4-3-2-1
Ground yourself in the present:
• 5 things you can see
• 4 things you can feel
• 3 things you can hear
• 2 things you can smell
• 1 thing you can taste

4. Breathe (Slow It Down)
Take a few slow, intentional breaths—in through your nose, out through your mouth. Even one minute can calm your nervous system and create a reset.
