One phrase can launch a person’s career faster than years of learning. 

(And we say it out loud far too rarely)

Most of the time, it’s not loud words.
It’s short support, said at the right time.

Not “You can do it.” 
Not motivational speeches.

But simple, precise words in the right moment:

→ “You’re ready enough to try.”
→ “Rest is part of productivity.”
→ “You have a right to boundaries.”
→ “A mistake is data, not a verdict.”
→ “You don’t have to carry this alone.”
→ “You don’t have to be perfect to grow.”

Most of us have had people who supported us 
when we doubted ourselves, minimized what we felt, or stayed silent.

Sometimes one sentence from someone you trust:

↳ removes shame
↳ helps you choose yourself
↳ gives you your footing back
↳ gives you the courage to say “no” or to ask for help

It’s not “motivational” phrases that change people.
It’s honest words, spoken when they’re truly needed.

And the most important part:

Be that person for someone else. 
Don’t wait until they break to support them.

Sometimes it’s enough to say:

“You’re doing great. I believe in you.”

Who has been that kind of support for you one sentence or one decision?

Even with the best strategy, you can fail at one thing.

(And it can ruin the entire business)

It’s how you treat people.
And it always comes back around.

You can change your KPIs.
You can change your priorities.
You can change your processes.

But one thing remains predictable:

People remember what it felt like to work with you.

Specifically:

• Did you listen, even when it was uncomfortable?
• Did you notice the effort and not just the outcome?
• Did you bring clarity instead of looking for someone to blame?
• Did you have the team’s back when the pressure was at its peak?

If the answers are positive, 
that “memory” becomes a business advantage.

It turns into:

→ Better decisions.
→ Faster alignment.
→ Earlier risk signals.
→ Stronger retention.
→ More honest updates.

Treating people well isn’t about being soft.

It’s about being intentional.
It’s choosing long term effectiveness over short term tension.

Because you can push a team with pressure.
But you can only sustain it through how you treat people.

Treat people well.

It’s the only investment that never loses value.

One of the best things you can do in life…

Build a habit of gratitude for what you already have.

We want big results.

But most of what makes them possible is already here.
And we don’t notice it because it became routine.

We normalize:

→ a role that matters
→ people who trust you
→ work that challenges you
→ wins that once felt impossible
→ mistakes that turn into lessons
→ skills you once dreamed of having

Gratitude doesn’t lower standards.
It increases resilience.

It helps leaders stay calm under pressure, 
and helps teams stay motivated through uncertainty.

Here are 5 simple ways to practice gratitude at work:

1/ Thank one person specifically.

2/ Notice progress, not perfection.

3/ Treat hard tasks as trust, not punishment.

4/ Start your day by naming one opportunity today.

5/ End the day by naming one step you moved forward.

What you call “normal” is your progress in action,
step by step toward the outcome.

Gratitude brings motivation back when it’s hard. 

And it reminds you: 
your “normal” day is someone’s dream.

What part of your normal workday are you most grateful for right now?

Don’t build your future on one role.

Invest in what always stays with you.

Most people chase things they can lose overnight.

A title. 
A contract. 
A company. 
A “stable” plan. 
Someone’s approval.

But real power is different.

It’s what stays with you when everything around you changes.

Work on the things people can’t take away from you:

Your skills. 
Your body. 
Your mindset. 
Your character. 
Your work ethic. 
Your knowledge.

Because this is the foundation.

→ Character builds trust.
→ Skills make you adaptable.
→ Mindset protects your focus.
→ Work ethic creates momentum.
→ A strong body gives you energy.
→ Knowledge makes you valuable anywhere.

This is what turns uncertainty into confidence.

Not because life gets easier.
But because you become unstoppable.

Which of these are you building in yourself right now and why?

Work on the things people can't take away from you:

Your skills Your body Your mindset Your character Your work ethic Your knowledge

This is how you become unstoppable.

When toxicity is ignored, the message is clear:

“Results come before respect.”

And that message always comes at a cost.

When disrespect becomes acceptable in pursuit of goals,
the team shifts into self-protection mode.

Less initiative.
More politics.
More burnout.

And then it’s not only people who suffer.
Results suffer too.

Workplace toxicity isn’t about:

→ Deadlines
→ High standards
→ Direct feedback

Workplace toxicity is about:

↳ Humiliation
↳ Fear over trust
↳ Dismissiveness
↳ Lack of support
↳ Excessive control
↳ Passive aggression
↳ Boundary violations
↳ Punishment for honesty

The strongest cultures don’t lower standards.

They replace:

Control with clarity.
Suspicion with trust.
Silence with support.

Teams that consistently deliver can:
move fast, work hard, handle pressure.

But they can’t thrive where there’s no respect.

Which of these signals destroys performance the fastest, in your view?

The biggest trap in leadership:

Putting goals above people.

Because how you lead shapes how your team performs.

You can push a deadline through.

But when you lead through pressure and fear, 
the team gets drained.

Leadership won’t “turn on” when you suddenly need it.
It either raises performance or quietly breaks it.

And the team starts paying the price:

↳ burnout
↳ loss of initiative
↳ fear of making mistakes
↳ silence instead of honesty

Here are 4 foundations of true leadership:

1. Empathy 

Hearing the whole person, not just the task update.
It clarifies what’s happening and improves decisions.

2. Kindness 

Giving feedback with care, not shame.
It makes it easier to speak up, learn, and improve fast.

3. Integrity 

Same rules for everyone.
It lowers tension and saves time on unnecessary noise.

4. Responsibility 

Owning decisions, pace, and culture.
It replaces blame with conditions for growth.

Goal achievement doesn’t come from the most pressure.

It happens when you lead in a way that helps people:

↳ learn fast
↳ stay resourced
↳ speak the truth
↳ take ownership

Strong teams don’t happen by accident.

They’re built by leaders who practice these foundations daily.

Which of these foundations do you want to strengthen most in yourself right now?

When work gets hard, one thing changes everything.

Just 10 minutes of genuine attention.

The impact is stronger than any strategy.

Because people don’t need perfect coworkers.
They need human ones.

And kindness is what can keep a team together.

When kindness is missing, 
the team goes into toxic mode.

And then everything drops: 
initiative, speed, accountability.

So the fastest way to bring the energy back is simple: 
make people feel seen.

You don’t need a retreat.
You don’t need a new policy.

Sometimes a few minutes is enough.

Here are 12 acts of kindness that take just 10 mins:

1/ Bring in a small treat for your team.

2/ Offer to grab a coffee for someone who’s working hard.

3/ Compliment a coworker’s effort or work.

4/ Share a useful resource with your team.

5/ Thank your manager for their support.

6/ Simply smile and greet everyone warmly.

7/ Send a thank-you email to a helpful colleague.

8/ Check in on a stressed coworker.

9/ Write a quick LinkedIn recommendation.

10/ Highlight a colleague’s expertise in public.

11/ Praise someone’s idea in a meeting.

12/ Invite a new coworker for lunch or coffee.

None of these actions look “big.”

But together, they create big outcomes:

↳ build trust
↳ reduce tension
↳ help people feel seen
↳ keep strong people close

Because people don’t stay for bonuses.
They stay where they feel humanity.

Try just one today.
And watch what changes.

The most common myths about success sounds like this:

→ You need a lucky break.
→ You need exceptional talent.
→ You need to be in the right place at the right time.

But success is built on everyday skills.
Most people just don’t practice them consistently.

Here are the most underrated skills for success:

S — Strategy See beyond today and plan for the long game.

U — Upskilling Keep upgrading your skills regularly.

C — Consistency Improve 1% every day with small consistent actions.

C — Collaboration Grow through strong partnerships and teamwork.

E — Execution Turn ideas into finished work, not endless plans.

S — Self-control Do what matters, even when motivation is low.

S — Sustainability Progress without exhaustion or burnout.

If you master these skills, you won’t just grow faster. 
You’ll build stable, long-term results.

Start with one skill this week and practice it daily.

After 500+ conversations with leaders, I learned one thing:

Strong leadership isn’t measured by the number of meetings you run.

It’s measured by the connections you maintain.

Most workplace relationships don’t “break.”
They fade.

Not because people don’t care.
But because the calendar wins.

Slack replaces real contact.
Meetings replace moments.
And “I’ll message later” turns into months.

So here’s one of the highest-ROI leadership habits:

Make it a habit to reach out to people just because they crossed your mind.

Not when there’s a problem.
Not when performance drops.
Not when you need something.

Just a quick check-in that says:
“I thought of you.”

This does more than being “nice.” 
It:

↳ builds trust across teams
↳ creates a culture where asking for help feels normal
↳ helps people feel seen before they start drifting away
↳ stops small misunderstandings from turning into friction

And it takes 30 seconds.
Try one today:

“You crossed my mind. How are you?”
“Your idea helped more than you think.”
“Quick note: I noticed your effort. Thank you.”

Leadership isn’t only about direction.
It’s also about connection.

Because teams don’t stay strong on strategy alone.
They stay strong on relationships.

What simple habit helps you stay connected with people at work?

I’ve spent most of my career helping companies scale and learning, sometimes the hard way, where systems break.

From 2004 to 2021, I helped build and scale go-to-market and pipeline systems at companies like Salesforce, Zendesk, Duo Security, and Armorblox. The work spanned sales, sales ops, and pipeline strategy, but the throughline was always the same: designing systems that hold up under real-world pressure.

By 2022, I burned out. I stepped away to rethink how growth, systems, and teams should actually work, especially as software became more distributed, more automated, and less forgiving of failure. Over the next few years, I worked closely with founders and operators, helping them see pipeline, GTM, and execution not as motions, but as designed systems.

That shift changed how I see software itself.

Today, I’m at Temporal Technologies, working on a problem that feels foundational: helping developers build applications that remain reliable no matter what goes wrong. Temporal’s durable execution model gives teams a way to write code that survives crashes, retries, outages, and long-running complexity without pushing that burden onto every developer or every team.

What excites me most is the impact. Some of the world’s best engineers and fastest-moving companies are already building mission-critical systems on Temporal. Helping make that path clearer, safer, and more scalable is a rare opportunity.

I write about:

- How pipeline generation is changing in an AI-native world
- Why traditional outbound, inbound, and attribution models break when AI enters the system
- Designing pipeline as an orchestrated system: humans, software, and AI working together
- Signals over volume: how teams generate predictable pipeline without bloated headcount
- What durable execution and reliability mean for revenue systems, not just infrastructure

If you’re a GTM, product, or engineering leader thinking:
“Pipeline feels harder than it should and the old playbooks aren’t working anymore.”

You’re in the right place.

Some opportunities make you stop and say yes immediately.


I’m excited to be joining Temporal Technologies working on Pipeline Strategy. A company tackling one of the hardest problems in modern software: how to build applications that remain reliable no matter what goes wrong.

Temporal gives developers a new foundation for durable execution, and it’s already powering mission-critical systems for some of the world’s best engineers and fastest-moving companies. Getting to work on a problem this fundamental, alongside people this sharp, is a rare opportunity.

I’ll be working closely with Jim Cyb, after our time together at Duo Security and Zendesk, and I’m excited to build with an incredible group of new teammates, including:

Timothy Hughes, Clair Byrd, Michelle Isenberg, Matthew Cruz Jones, Mike Partin / Pace, David Cole and so many more!

Grateful for the opportunity. 
Excited to get to work. 
Let’s build something durable. 🚀

Helping teams move from fragile workflows to durable systems.
