Head-on collision at 40mph can’t stop resiliency
Shift: Creating a Better Tomorrow
Get on the hamster wheel and grind it out
Pedaling forward through current crises
A power “with” mentality, instead of power “over”
A goal of riding my bike in all 50 states
Cutting the tension after the crash “how’s my bike”
If I live, I’m going to stop chasing happiness
Surrounded by professionals but feeling so lonely
Happiness is not a destination we can get to, it is the journey
Up until that moment, I thought happiness was in the next promotion
Avoid Do, Have, Be
Be, Do, Have advice from Zig Ziglar
That SUV gave me a mulligan
After the accident, I had a big ah-ha, I needed to get my mind and my body right
I got truly focused on what really mattered with my company, being more human
I led my way to the top
Bringing home more than my energy leftovers
Manage your energy through the day
First thing we check upon waking- our phones- it frames our day
Pause Breathe Reflect #PBR
Reflect- how am I doing against the priorities I set this morning
I’m nothing without the people in my life
