Each week, I compile the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Gregg Vanourek:
“The 7 Most Common Career Regrets (And What They Tell Us)”
(1-28-26).
“[T]hese career regrets can be ominous. But they can also become a blueprint for your next breakthrough.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“10 Unmistakable Habits of Irresistible People” (2-27-26).
“[Irresistible people] think about other people more than they think about themselves, and they make other people feel liked, respected, understood, and seen. Just remember: the more you focus on others, the more irresistible you’ll be.”
………
Ted Kitterman, Great Place to Work, with Christine Maginnis, SVP and global head of talent at Hilton:
“What Makes Hilton the No. 1 Workplace in the World” (12-9-25).
“‘We set out on this journey because we recognize that our culture is the engine that powers our business’ …. ‘People are at the heart of hospitality, and we know that when you take care of your team members, they will in turn take care of our guests, driving exceptional service and strong business results.'”
……..
Richard Boyatzis, in a podcast with the Institute of Coaching:
“Intentional Change Theory for Leaders with Richard Boyatzis”
(1-30-24).
20:00
“If you have something to tell somebody that they should be doing differently, keep it to yourself. Because if you tell them without them asking you, they’re not going to change anyway.”
The then-pending book Dr. Boyatzis references is The Science of Change (Oct. 2024), which I recommend.
……..
Andrew Abeyta and Clay Routledge:
“Agency in America: The Power to Flourish” (12-11-25).
“Personal agency is the belief in one’s capacity to influence life circumstances and determine one’s own path. When people feel they have personal agency, they are strongly motivated to improve their lives and the lives of others.”
