Morning coffee and sunrise over the Smokies is a bit different further out in the country but still always super productive (and calming) to begin big days (and most days) taking in the early newness and stillness of possibility. #nextlevel #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #AEC #ActionsProve

Excited to back in Knoxville after an inspiring week of #AEC fall conferences and client meetings and events in and around New Orleans, New England, and our Nation’s capital! #nextlevel #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #ActionsProve

Technology is an insufficient “HIN” – one of a group of tools and elements that are *helpful*, *important*, and even *necessary* but that, even at their best, are insufficient for ensuring our success as #AEC leaders and organizations. (I also plan to post more about other “HIN”s, which include employee engagement, PM training, marketing and branding, and strategic planning amongst several others). That said, helping firms to develop, integrate, and leverage strategic AI and advanced technology plans has been squarely on the radar over the past 18 months. One of the most helpful approaches has been one with 2 steps and a professional first mindset: First – internally focusing on “better, faster, cheaper” Second – externally focusing on “net new value” … and always approaching technology as a *tool* (and not the “prize”) for professionals to use and leverage, and keeping top of mind that in the world of #engineering, #architecture, and #construction: * What’s easy and quick is rarely the best or in compliance with the standard of care * FOMO (the fear of missing out) doesn’t inspire * MVPs (minimum viable products) are not full-on solutions, and * Opportunists, well-meaning or otherwise who understand much less about what we do, may make promises too good to be true Here is a link to an article published in the Business Practices section of STRUCTURE magazine that explains what I call “Winning with the New All 3”: https://lnkd.in/eZnUP4Cf A more expansive explanation of this (and linkage to other “HIN”s) can also be found in my latest book, Next-Level Leadership. #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #ActionsProve

Ending our T-state tour with a keynote on “Ensuring Our More Viable Future” in #AEC for over 600 Tennessee engineers with ACEC Tennessee as part of the Annual Engineers Conference, and thankful for the opportunity to serve and share… and now on to several M and P states for one-on-one work (and with a high school reunion meet up in between)! #conferenceseason #strategicplanning #nextlevel #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #ActionsProve

Excited to be back in Austin this week to speak and share on the *new category* of individual achievement and organizational success - one that’s more dynamic and complete, especially for professionals and professional services firms: one that centers on winning at work, life, and business by design! … and whether you’re in Austin this week or not, I would always welcome the opportunity to connect and share more on achieving next-level new era success. #nextlevel #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #ActionsProve

Next-Level Leadership… the one thing that sits above it all! Excited for the next round of author copies to come through and to begin to more publicly share Next-Level Leadership insights (and differences!) three plus years in the making over the coming weeks, months!, and year! #nextlevel #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #AEC #ActionsProve

Looking forward to presenting this important data (and its related insights!) next week with Anthony!

It’s early August and a self-imposed (and largely held) 3-month social media posting “sabbatical” is over… and feeling re-focused and refreshed; so, this may now become an annual thing! For several reasons, I choose to develop all my own content, and after a busy first part of the year successfully completing (and beta testing) the first ever *Next-Level Leadership Assessment* and finishing our 4th Annual *Present and Future of Work in Engineering and Architecture* research report the break was needed and initiated to allow focus on (and being very present for): *A special wedding *Several national and regional (and one international!) #AEC keynotes *Deep work on several client projects *Some private travel… and *One final high-spirited sprint to complete my second book, which now sports a new title and is ready to launch (more on that soon). Thankful for the break and ready to step back from (mostly) stealth mode and share more content, data, and insights with you all related to next-level leadership and organizational design. #nextlevel #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #ActionsProve?

Investing in high-achievers and high-achieving organizations in #AEC now on an international scale… super thankful for the opportunity to speak and share this week with contractors making a difference and leading in protection and sustainability in Aruba… and doing so with a great travel partner too! #leadership #management #growth #strategy #impact #success #ActionsProve
