In this episode, I'm talking about creating milestones. 

For centuries, people have wanted to find the fountain of youth. People traveled for months on ships to try to find this mythical fountain of youth, because we’d all like to be younger, right?

What about wisdom? I think we’d all like to be wise, and the good news is we can find the source of wisdom without a long trip and it’s not mythical.

The idea for this episode came from my pastor, Aaron Brockett, at the Trader’s Point Christian Church. But this isn’t really a religious idea at all. You see, we all want (more) wisdom regardless of our beliefs. But the question is, where does it come from? In this episode, we’ll explore some possible sources of wisdom to determine what the true source is.

Having a purpose is not the same as a purpose statement. Purpose is an ideal. It is the reason you choose to exist. Professionally, it is why you go to work. Is it a job(money)? Is it a career (get ahead)? Is it a calling (gives you meaning)? Ranjay Gulati joins Kevin to discuss deep purpose at work. He believes it is the foundation for the organization and defines the work experience, including culture. When your organization believes in something, you move your team from not just satisfied or engaged to inspired. An inspired team does the work because they want to.

In this episode Kevin Eikenberry discusses how your viewpoint determines your outlook and how we usually operate from a worm's eye view or a bird's eye view. He also mentions how you can incorporate viewpoint language into your organization or team.

Think goal first. That seems like pretty solid advice. And it seems like something that is easy to do. And yet…we don’t always do that.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a short story from my own personal work that highlights the importance of remembering to think goal first and keep adjusting routines to stay in alignment with the goal.

In this episode of Remarkable TV, I’m sharing tips for giving better instructions. And to do that, we’re using the game of Monopoly to help us.

So Monopoly. Chances are, if you’ve played Monopoly, you either love it or you hate it.

And if you’ve played it, you know that there are a lot of rules in the game. About seven pages of rules to be exact.

Have you ever taught someone how to play? Now if we go through all of these rules before we start playing, it will not likely go so well. They will zone out, miss half of them or forget most of them by the time they get to a scenario that uses each rule.

However, when you start with the end in mind, you will be more successful…

Carla’s assignments included Germany, Bulgaria (as the defense and air attaché), Turkey, Korea, and Washington, D.C.
• Worth Mentioning: As a squadron commander, Carla transformed her 480-person unit from the most losing in state-wide, professional awards into the one to beat.

Her battle cries are twofold: 1) “Powerful writing changes lives” and 2) “Powerful writing is the lifeblood of successful organizations”.
