What if your impact is bigger than you think? đź’­

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,

Do you ever underestimate your impact? I do. But then a week ago, I received this.

"In a 2020 training, you discussed the toxicity of gossip and how to identify gossip. It resonated so deeply with me that it led me to reexamine the conversations I choose to have and call out both myself and my coworkers when conversations veer into gossip. As a leadership team, we are really wrestling with the divisiveness of gossip and cliques in my work group right now, and I have repeated your words several, several times."

I hold feedback like this tightly. Taking time to share feedback about others impact is one of the greatest gifts. What might you give feedback to someone about today?

QUESTION. What's your question? Could you use some support with a current issue? Submit your question HERE, and the Lancaster Leadership team will pick one to answer each month in the next newsletter.

ARTICLES & A VIDEO. We created three short articles and a video that we think might really help. They’re honest, practical, and rooted in the real challenges leaders face every day.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT. 1:1 coaching - COACHES are: thought partners, strategy partners, feedback givers, thought provokers, and in your corner. Decision-making can be hard, and sometimes lonely. We can help. If you don't have the funds or time for a coaching package (8-12 sessions), we will soon offer a 30-minute burst Coaching session in November with Julie, Judy, and Jeff. You come with 1 current issue that you could use support on. Shoot me an email if you want to get on the early-notification list.

Dear Reader, I’m standing in the cafeteria that doubles as a gym after the tables are folded up. It’s third period, and it’s dodgeball season. The teacher picks team captains and then lets these overly empowered 8-year-olds determine the fate of the rest of us. Each time, the boys get picked first. And then Toni Lombardo, because she’s strong and not afraid. Each time I pray to be picked. I try to act like I don’t care, but I care so very much. The game starts and celebrates aggression and...
