Creating and Maintaining Consistencies Part II – What?
How many of us choose to let fear drive us to employ procrastination as our consistent behavior? So not only do I need to work on creating habits that support and encourage consistency, I have to work on changing my mindset to that of someone who embraces the discomfort of a little fear and takes the leap.
The Role Connection Plays in Success & Leadership
Recently I started watching season 2 of The Undercover Billionaire. I really enjoyed the first season and while this season is a little different, I still feel there are so many lessons to be learned. But there’s one key message that continues to show up over and over again as I watch. And to be […]
Uncomfortable Firmness
It’s resolution time everybody. “Why?” you may wonder. It’s because it’s new. As people, we love new. I know there’s the whole “vintage” movement, but even in that movement they restore things to be “like new”. When we think new, we think fresh. So with a new year comes a fresh opportunity to make a new resolution to do something different. There’s really only one minor problem with New Year’s resolutions…they get old really fast.
Creating and Maintaining Consistencies Part III – How?
Let’s look at how we can change our mindset and how we can make sure we are delivering the consistent brand and service to our clients. I asked friends and colleagues the methods they use to stay on task, be organized and create good habits. Let’s take a look at some of the suggestions I got from my research.
Uncomfortable Changes
Resolution check-in. Are you still doing the thing you said you would do just two short weeks ago? If you are, then great. If not, then I have a sneaky suspicion that change was much harder than you thought.

Self-Improvement and Personal Growth
I will freely admit I am a self-help book junkie. It’s not unheard of me to read 3-4 self-help books in a month. In fact, my idea of a day of bliss is to spend a day alone curled up in my pajamas reading Tony Robbins or Brendon Burchard while heavy snow is falling outside […]
Uncomfortable Stand
Picture of my Robert “Bob” Fisher, my father, and Martin Luther King, Jr. (see video) Today is the day, unbeknownst to many, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr (MLK) for his achievements. Interestingly, there are many who do not observe this day, or even wonder why there’s a need to celebrate. For national government employees, […]
Be More Awesome at Collaboration
When I was younger, my family took a brief autumn road trip to northern Wisconsin. One of the stops we made was a cranberry farm at harvest time. Harvesting cranberries is not your typical endeavor since it involves intentionally flooding the bogs in which the cranberries grow, then scooping the floating berries off the top […]
Uncomfortable Whirlwind
You know the old adage, “be careful what you wish for because you just might get it?” Well, I get the adage. One of my goals for the business is to be a paid motivational speaker. From these speaking gigs, I could create opportunities to get to know SPEARity as a leadership development brand. Thanks […]
