It’s important to listen to what other aren’t saying. There’s a whole host of feelings and meanings behind the words we say. Tune into what others are not saying if you want to support them well. #SundayThought

Savor the memories of your loved ones. My dear Wendy loved hanging baskets and I think of her today as I look at it. She was amazing and provided me so many memories! #saturdaythought #150thKentuckyDerby

My 95 year old father making a toast at our Derby party last night. He is so amazing!!!

I’ve always been a big believer in creating a future back vision. Define where you want to go and then start today working on the things that will get you there. #FridayThought

My house guest for the Derby has arrived!

Pursuing your joy creates so much happiness. Working with my Valhalla partners to provide a one of a kind golf experience you can only find in Kentucky has done just that for me. I know my beloved Wendy is looking down smiling at its majestic beauty. Can’t wait for the PGA!!

Everyone in Louisville is getting pumped for both the Derby and the PGA Championship (trophy displayed). Such a festive time and can’t wait for the world to see Valhalla, a one of a kind golf experience you can only find in Kentucky.

Yes, you need a well thought out plan. But if you want to build consensus around it, develop and talk about your Plan B so your people know you’ve considered every scenario. #WednesdayThought

Brian Hernandez was the last jockey who rode General A Rod who now resides at our horse farm at Valhalla Golf Club…part of our one of a kind golf experience you can only find in Kentucky. It was cool the General recognized Brian immediately! Derby week is the best!!!

Coaching is a vital first step to help under performers. You must be tough minded enough to give candid feedback. Hopefully, they will respond. If they don’t you can look yourself in the mirror and ask them to move on, knowing you did the best you could do. #tuesdaythought

LOVE this from Hal Rosenbluth, this week’s guest on the How Leaders Lead podcast 🔥🔥🔥:

Hitting tee shot on par 5 18 coined “Photo Finish” at Valhalla setting up a rare eagle…so fun when that happens!😊🏌️Can’t wait to show off the course during 2024 PGA May 16-19 and our experience you can only find in Kentucky.

Loved speaking to the Valhalla membership last night at our grand opening. Can’t wait to host the PGA Championship and showcase our golf experience you can only find in Kentucky, including new clubhouse, Bluegrass Way featuring horse farm, white and limestone fences and more!!!

Build your people up. Positive reinforcement is a powerful force be quick to point out what people are doing well, not just where they can improve. #SundayThought

When things are bad it’s tough to know what to fix first. Ask questions and listen to your team. That’s one of the best, if not the best, way to uncover the most important issue to focus on. #SaturdayThought

Want to tap into your inner rebel? Look no further than this week’s podcast episode with Hal Rosenbluth, who has NEVER been afraid to challenge the status quo in his career:

Avoid the “disease of me”. If you want to build a strong team, look for people who are motivated by a collective goal and can keep their ego in check. #fridaythought

The best leaders have a healthy dissatisfaction with the status quo. I can’t think of a better leader who exemplifies this than my guest this week, Hal Rosenbluth.

He knows how to think in terms of disruption. Tune in and see how it’s done!
