How do you celebrate the best qualities in others?

Not just in your personal relationships. How do you celebrate the best of the best within your business or non-profit organization? And why is it so important?

Clarifying core values is a worthwhile exercise for us all. Perhaps you’ve done this personally. (I hope so!) What about where you work or serve? Are the core values readily apparent? If you’re in a leadership position, are you intentional about honoring those team members who most beautifully and consistently reflect those values?

EVERYONE Gets A Trophy?

Posted on 2.16.2022 by Jody Noland

"Isn't that really what you're pushing with Leave Nothing Unsaid?"

No, a thousand times no.

HOW DO WE BRING OUT THE BEST IN CHILDREN?

Posted on 2.02.2022 by Jody Noland

Have you ever heard the old adage “when you’re inside the jar, you can’t read the label?” If you are a mom or dad, grandparent or mentor, you know those words are especially applicable to children.

From an early age, our children reveal who God created them to be. We see glimpses of their natural wiring and inclinations practically from birth.

COMING OUT OF HIBERNATION

Posted on 1.26.2022 by Jody Noland

The late Truitt Cathy was known for asking “How do you know if a person needs encouragement?” His answer? “If they’re breathing!”

Well, if you’re reading this, I’m counting on the fact that you are still breathing. (If not, please call 911 ASAP.) Like most of us, you are probably thirsty for some encouragement.

BIG BIRTHDAY APPROACHING? CONSIDER THIS!

Posted on 7.14.2021 by Jody Noland

When a “milestone” birthday is looming in someone’s future, there is often an accompanying sense of dread.

Rarely is someone saying “Oh, yay, another year older! I’m hitting the big one!”

As children, we can’t wait for that next birthday celebration, the thrill of getting a learner’s permit or (legally) ordering a drink! Yet most of us seem to stop being quite so excited about birthdays around the ripe old age of 25.

Posted on 6.08.2021 by Jody Noland

Yes, the decision required a LOT of thought and prayer.

Was it wise to open my heart again?

Could I even trust my judgment and discernment after my tumultuous last few years?

After nearly a year of COVID-induced isolation, I decided having plants as my only living companions was not enough. So, I swallowed hard and took the plunge.

What's On YOUR Highlight Reel?

Posted on 1.24.2021 by Jody Noland

Seriously. What do you think of when someone asks about your highlight reel? For most of us, memories of life’s best moments come to mind.

Maybe it’s your wedding day, the day your children were born, getting the job of your dreams, writing a best-seller, winning a big game or reaching a level of financial success. Undoubtedly, your highlight reel would include your most joyful days of answered prayers and dreams come true.
