I often share stories about my dog, Lenny. While I’d like to say I’m teaching him lots of new tricks, the truth is, I’m learning even more from him.

One of my friends calls these updates “Life and Leadership Lessons with Lenny.”

At almost 2 years old, he still has endless puppy energy. If I don’t pay attention, that energy goes into things I wish it didn’t: like digging holes in the middle of my yard (earning him the nickname “My little digger shmigger”) or pulling plants from flowerpots, holding the stems in his mouth, and waving them like flags in his own parade.

My job is to play part-time energy alchemist. How do I help him use his energy for good? Or at least not destroy what’s around him...

What if patience was more than just a virtue? What if it was also a gift?

Rather than worrying about an outcome you can’t control, what if you shifted your attention towards something else while you waited? How might you use that time to do something fun, meaningful, or simply relaxing?

What gifts might patience bring you?

Are you preparing for your busy season or just bracing for it? There’s a difference.

This month’s newsletter explores the idea of “Before the Busy” and why pausing to look ahead might be one of the most valuable things a leader can do.

How do you describe the seasons of your business? Could a better game plan help you through the busy ones with less stress and more success?

When I’m with a group of business owners, I often ask: “What will this room look like in 20 years, and what can I do now to shape it?”
I think about owners in two categories:

• Who will likely exit within 20 years and no longer be in this room?
• Which young owners will become tomorrow’s leaders?

There are already more businesses for sale than buyers, and that gap will grow. Owners known for trust, reliability, and exceptional service often sell to larger companies that can’t match their personal touch.

Many former owners hear from clients who miss that reliability, which leaves them feeling guilty about selling to a company with different values.

Future owners exist, but they need mentoring from within… and a long runway.
Owners should start 5-10 years before they plan to sell.

If you want to sell while preserving the values behind your success, who are your buyers? If they aren’t clear, start developing one from within your team.

This is the work I love: shaping the future and helping owners build exit strategies that preserve the company’s mission.

Developing your own buyer takes planning, perspective, and mentoring. If this path is worth considering, let’s talk.

Consistency and routine help businesses run better. Once you develop an efficient process, you need to keep using it, so everyone knows their role.

But processes are never one-and-done. Smart leaders review them regularly with their teams to make sure they still work and catch skipped steps before they cause problems.

Where could a little more practice make a difference in your business?

What can a 2-year-old rescue dog teach us about leadership? Quite a bit, it turns out. In this week’s newsletter, Lenny is back with another leadership lesson, this time about routines, consistency, and why even good processes need a little practice.
If you’re not already on the list, now’s a good time to subscribe.

How do you handle conflict in leadership or in your role as a business owner or executive? If you’re expecting someone to respond in a specific way, especially in a leadership or team setting, but they choose a different, unwanted response, what do you do?

You might respond with anger and frustration.

You spend a lot of time thinking about how unfair or unreasonable the other person is being. And the more you think about it, the angrier you get. Suddenly, you’re less productive and probably not in the best mood.

When you find yourself in these situations, the most important thing you have is your power. The power to choose, not the outcome, but how you face adversity.

Here are some tips I often use in executive coaching and leadership development work to navigate these types of situations:
