So proud of our former Moondog making his first MLB start today! ⚾️❤️

When we try to please everyone, we end up pleasing no one... least of all, ourselves.

"Poor communication is inherited from parents or family members. They never talked about feelings, they yelled. They held onto secrets because they didn't want to make things awkward. Break that toxic chain." ~G. L. Lambert⠀

Many arguments get heated not because our opinions clash, but because we fail to show that we care. In conflict, the most important step isn't to defend your position. It's to reinforce your relationship. It's easier to accept that you're not like-minded if you're like-hearted.

Down in the count, but not out. Garrett Mitchell delivers a walk-off single for the Milwaukee Brewers!

If you don't have all the facts yet, you shouldn't have a strong opinion yet. Motivated reasoning is believing what you want to be true. Critical thinking depends on wanting to believe whatever ends up being true. A key to learning is refusing to let your hopes bias your views.

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you. Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today. Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow. Candor is an act of care.

Time in meetings has more than tripled since Feb 2020. Nearly a third of meetings are unnecessary—wasting $25M a year for every 1k people. There are 4 reasons to meet: to decide, learn, bond, and do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Kaleb has accepted the opportunity to play college baseball while attending Hamline University next year! We are so proud of him and excited for this next chapter. We are also grateful for the opportunity to continue watching him play the game he loves. ❤️

Being professional is upholding high standards in low moments. It's caring to do a good job even in jobs we don't love; treat others with respect even if we're disrespected; and do right even if we're wronged. We earn trust by refusing to compromise on competence or character.
