Welcome to another Wonderful Week with some well-timed wisdom-ish to warm your workweek.
About a year ago, my Director of Risk Management, Jason Merritt, Jennifer Karcher, CPCU, CISR and I attended a training from our insurance broker where a performance coach spoke to pro sports teams. speaker was a performance coach for professional sports teams. Aside from telling us to drink tart cherry juice, float in sensory deprivation tanks, wear woot bracelets, and get 8 hours of sleep (I tried only the 1st two) he also focused on the competitive advantage of ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด. He also talked about how he used a trained bear to test the fight or flight response of a certain professional team on a hike, but I digress.
True ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ isnโt empty cheerleading. Itโs resilience, optimism, and mental strength. It helps you see possibilities, broaden your view, and lead through adversity.

๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐บ ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ: positivity is a force multiplier. It makes everyone and everything better. Use it...or I'll send a bear after you. Later that night, I was walking home from the Golden Bee Pub at the Broadmoor and black bear ambled across my path. My response...take out my phone and take this picture. Ha!
Whether youโre weathering wild winds or walking with wins, I hope these words widen your perspective and wake up the willpower and wisdom within.
Wherever youโre working in the weeds or watching from the watchtower, remember that your willingness to lead with warmth, wit, and wisdom sets the tone for the whole team.
Wishing you wonder, wellness, and wins this week, your leadership is a worthy force.
