What if your impact is bigger than you think? 💭

Published 2 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, It started with not wanting to waste money. My son used an online tutoring service in high school to help with the final push before graduation 2 years ago. Now our family had 40 hours to use up in 90 days before they expired. When I discovered that Spanish was a subject they tutored in, I switched the student from him to me. I hadn’t officially studied Spanish for 15 years, and I was ready to jump back in. I have dreams of living in a Spanish-speaking country for parts of the...

Dear Reader, I grew up in a family that didn't tell stories. That's not entirely true. The women didn't; we were fast and furious. We would never debrief movies before watching the next one.

I thought I hated stories. Until I was asked to come up with my own as a trainer. Now, it's my hardest-won...
