Last year I hosted the contest Hindsight is 20/20 and wanted to do similar contest this year, but with a twist.

Imagine you could go back in time and have a conversation with yourself at age 18. Turning 18 is an exciting age – you are finally a legally recognized adult, you can vote and the world is full of possibilities. Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your younger self?

Perhaps you would pass along a few words of wisdom. Maybe there was an opportunity you wish would have taken, or a mistake that you wish Read More...

Talking the Talk But Not Walking the Walk

Filed under: Leadership — Tags: , , , — Tom Weber @ 6:00 am

Tom WeberWhat have you been preaching and teaching BUT…not doing yourself?

It happens to the best of us. We get in the habit of knowing the right path, the path towards health, wealth and success, we tell others all about it, and then one day we wake up only to realize that we have not been following our own awesome advice.

At a recent training, I had more than one person say something to me like, “Oh my gosh, I’ve known these things for years but I haven’t been doing them myself.” As a coach, the same thing happens to me. I’ll tell someone something so basic and simple that it seems like a no brainer, and I have said it so often to so many people that I don’t have to think much about Read More...

Hindsight is 20/20 Contest

You have heard the saying “Hindsight is 20/20.” Looking back in the past, we all see situations we would have handled differently, opportunities we should have taken and mistakes we wouldn’t have made.

We can’t go back and change the past and there is no benefit of regretting what already has happened.  We CAN learn from the past, share the lessons learned and adjust our actions and decisions in the present to ensure a brighter future.

For this month’s blog contest, I am curious to know what advice you would have given yourself (or another in similar situation Read More...
