An honor to speak to 250 amazing coaches in Richland District One in Columbia, South Carolina. And an opportunity to talk with former Chicago Bulls player, Jo Jo English. Coach English played on the 1992-93 Bulls Championship Team with Jordan and Pippen.

You may be going through a challenge right now; It may be difficult, it may appear to be insurmountable but remember every season has a purpose. We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when we are faced with challenges. Leadership First

Wow! What a great day at South Dakota State University on Friday working with some awesome student leaders. Thank you, Dr. Kevin Kessler, for the opportunity to spend the day with your students. They are amazing! Big things happening at SDSU. 1% better every day.

It’s simple & effective. If you are leading people, don’t forget this. When people feel appreciated, they feel better about what they are doing. They will naturally work harder, care more & take more ownership in their production. A happy employee is a great employee.

The difference between 211 and 212 degrees is just 1 degree, but that 1 degree is an amazing thing! But when you add that extra degree - just ONE degree - you can create steam and do magical things. Keep striving for that extra 1 degree that can change your life. Don't give up.

People don’t differ in their desire to be successful. They differ in the price they are willing to pay for success. Todd Dufault Leadership todddufaultleadership.com

Character Confidence Communication Commitment

Leadership is not about being perfect, it’s about showing up, learning, and leading despite imperfection. True leaders embrace the flaws, uncertainties, and struggles of both themselves and their teams, because growth doesn’t happen in perfection, it happens in the messy middle.

Change can happen at anytime. You decide. Your best life may just be once you step outside your comfort zone. Go for it.

I want to add a few. BE KIND TO OTHERS BE THANKFUL BUILD THE PROPER MINDSET BUILD CONSISTENCY

So true! Focus on what you can control. Live life to its fullest. Everyday is a blessing. Strive to be the best version of yourself.

1.Get out of comfort zone. 2.Challenge your assumptions to find your truths. 3.Speak the language of the person you seek to be. 4.Make little decisions with your head & big decisions with your heart. 5.Create the most positive impact on as many lives as possible.

Each person on your team should walk away from a one-on-one with you feeling empowered, valued, important, and appreciated. The best leaders are selfless and more concerned with the well-being of their team than with their personal titles.

Allow yourself the grace to reframe your thoughts, seeing obstacles as stepping stones rather than roadblocks. With patience and practice, you can cultivate a mindset that not only empowers you but also inspires resilience and growth in the face of adversity. Leadership First
