Coach Dale’s Renovation of S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Do you create New Year's Resolutions? The idea of starting something new with a new year is appealing, and that's why so many people do this. Did you know that a majority of New Year's Resolutions (NYR) fail before the end of January? And a majority of the ones that...
5 Reasons: 5 of 5
It is almost 2021, literally. For many 2020 has been a pretty rough year, to say the least. My prayer is that as we close out 2020 that we are able to see the good that has happened and focus on that. I believe that what we focus on, we get more of. With that in mind,...

The Greatest Commandment
Last week was the monthly meeting I host called, The 3 C’s: Charity, Connections, Civility. In my opinion, it was the best one so far. We had a great conversation that resulted in some pretty interesting take-aways. The 4 main take-aways were: Recognize and...
Connections…
I have written many blogs and done several videos about how important connections are. Today more than ever, I believe that is true. We all have connections. Some are family, friends, co-workers, people from church or volunteer organizations. How many different kinds...
Be Realistic
When you hear the phrase, “hope for the best and prepare for the worst”, what do you think of? I think of how unrealistic those two extremes are. The best and the worst are really not likely going to be the real life outcome. Our country is more divided than ever. It...
What’s your problem?
I saw a funny meme this week that said, “We are officially in the fourth quarter of 2020, let’s hope we are playing the Cowboys”. That is a little bit funny, even for this DFW resident. 2020 has been a rough year for many and for others it has been a wonderful year...

Last week I shared a little bit with you about why knowing more than your top 5 strengths would be helpful. Did you do the homework of evaluating your strengths and choose one area that you might want to work on to do better? I have learned that there are some things...
More than your top 5
StrengthsFinder is more than the top 5. Millions of people have taken the StrengthsFinder profile and most of them have only got their top 5 results, not the “full 34” complete list. Very few people have ever had any coaching around their results which means they...
