Getting Results

Challenges and obstacles are a fact of life. Instead of wishing something was different, I challenge you to become someone different. 

If you set a goal and it’s really important, don’t let false and limiting beliefs hold you back. On the surface, it may be inconvenient to block time to work on the things that matter but trust me, afterwards, you will be glad you did.

Relationships are built when you communicate with someone live - face-to-face! FaceTime takes the relationship to a whole new level.

A shared vision creates a common purpose. If you and your team identify each other and your business in a new way and the new way becomes the standard on how the team operates, anything becomes possible.

Everything you do has a ripple effect – both effective and ineffective. 

As a mentor, it's not your job to change others.  It is not your job to decide what’s right for someone else, and it’s not your job to judge anyone based on what you perceive to be right or wrong. 

You will never be able to please everyone.   If fact, most of the time if you are doing anything of value, you will encounter opposition. Someone is NOT going to like what you are doing and they may even criticize you.  It’s not your job to defend yourself or change other people. Your job is to show up as the best version of yourself--this becomes a lot easier when you learn to NOT...

There are no excuses—only choices. You make a choice, and either it works or it doesn’t get the results you want—either way you made a choice. The only thing standing between you and what you desire are the crazy stories you keep telling yourself as to why you cannot achieve something.

Every day, a leader has a unique opportunity to have a positive and meaningful impact on those they work with. 

Understanding and appreciating others is essential to getting results. Effective leaders take the time to connect with others to find out what matters most — to them . 

Give yourself permission to say NO to those things that no longer serve you so you can create space for something better to emerge.

How would your approach change if you knew ahead of time that a challenging employee, client or situation was actually going to help you become a better leader ?

Learning to lead yourself starts by becoming more aware of your actions through reflective thinking.  I call this practice “ building your awareness muscle. ” The more you train your awareness muscle , the stronger you become—and the more productive you and your team become.

To be effective--to get results (of any kind), we have to refuel our energy level; we have to learn to value self-care as way of making ourselves more productive and able to provide more value to those who matter most.

Leadership—is it as complex as we make it? What if successful leadership is not as complicated as it’s others want you to believe. What if there is ONE fundamental thing that determines whether people follow you? Can it really be as simple as ONE thing? The answer is YES. Tune in and find out.

There will always be days and situations that frustrate the hell out of us. Times when we wish things were different. Times we become hooked by the crazy situations and circumstances we find ourselves entangled with. The ability to UNHOOK from all the crazy is a necessary leadership skill. This episode explores some easy to implement tools you can apply right away; tools that will help you regain...

Those who feel appreciated always do more than what is expected. Leaders who express gratitude all year long generate consistent positive energy–this creates a ripple effect.

Every 24-hours, we have a new opportunity to hit the reset button. Good or bad, are you willing to let go?

Slow down. The secret to getting more done is to do less. Spend your energy eliminating unnecessary activity so you can focus your attention on what’s truly important.

Many of us are searching for something. Something we want to BE, something we want to DO, or something we want to HAVE. At LXU, we call that something the X. The "X" is your personal something and it's slightly different for everyone. In this episode, Jim Riviello (Riv) shares the "X" he spent years searching for. He reveals the struggles he encountered and the many lessons he learned along the wa...
