TGIF 2/24/2023 - Edition 89

Grateful I was able to spend a great week away in sunnier weather with my family. It has been 6 years since my wife, and I brought our daughters to the island of Maui and was great to take pictures of places and compare them to when they were younger. My oldest was brave enough to jump of "Black Rock" and our family was able to experience memorable sunsets each night with the sounds of the ocean waves. For those who have been to Hawaii, what has been your favorite experience?

??#Leadership??

Loved this article by Forbes -- "Managers Have Major Impact On Mental Health"

“The best leaders take care of their own mental health, and they pay attention to their team members as well. It’s no small thing to have so much impact on people, but it’s also not rocket science. Leaders can make big impacts by tuning in, listening and demonstrating empathy and compassion. The stakes are high, but the chances of success are also high, when leaders are intentional about doing their best.”
