What type of environment do we need in order to grow? It is said that ‘growth thrives in conducive surroundings. If we want to experience personal growth, we must evaluate our environment and make the changes that support our growth goals. The things around us affect what’s going on inside of us, and growth will only happen when we make it welcome. So, how do we make growth welcome? A growth environment is a place where…
– Others are ahead of you.
– You are continually challenged.
– Your focus is forward.
– The atmosphere is affirming.
– You are out of your comfort zone.
– You wake up excited.
– Failure is not your enemy.
– Others are growing.
– People desire change.
– Growth is modeled for you and expected of you.
These characteristics combine into just the right mix of challenge and support to foster your development. They are the perfect recipe for growth!’ (J.Maxwell) Are you currently in this environment, or do you need to make a move?

Success: Idea #511
I want to bring together a few thoughts around success. ‘The road to success is always under construction.’ (L.Tomlin) I understand this to mean the path can be tough. However, ‘Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.’ (H.Cain) So it seems success needs to start with doing what we love, and then work with others, because ‘Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.’ (H.Ford) And as we work towards success, it’s important to ‘Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.’ (S.Sivananda)

Catalyst: Idea #510
Let’s embrace a new role today. ‘Change management is a catalyst for growth and innovation. It’s a strategic process that empowers teams to embrace change and minimize resistance, emerging stronger on the other side. When leaders are good at change management, they lead their people through transition, addressing their fears and managing their expectations, while fostering a culture of resilience and adaptability.’ (J.Maxwell) Are you willing to step up and be a great change leader?
