"Notes" of An Elder

Are you a senior leader who regularly reads this newsletter, loves talking about leadership, culture creation, and team building, and is trying to improve the performance of your team? Our small, private group of leaders in sports and business is growing at the end of the summer. Applications are due today - learn more here or after today’s newsletter. 

Nothing in life is of any value unless it is shared with others.

"Notes" of An Elder is a depository of pertinent information, knowledge and wisdom. Available weekly will be an elder's "thinking menu" for your use. Enjoy this bounty.

• Keep showing up and embracing the truth of your journey.

• Forgiveness isn't about erasing mistakes but freeing yourself from their weight.

• Your younger self was learning, growing, evolving, healing, navigating uncharted territory, and doing the best it could. Let go of past mistakes and regrets. 

• Realize the most profound transformations often occur in the quiet moments of presence.

• The decisions we make, the relationships we foster, and the impact we cultivate all stem from our ability to be fully engaged and aware in the present. 

• Dare to dream bigger. Allow your imagination to soar beyond the confines of comfort and familiarity. 

How to Be Alone Without Feeling Alone

1. To know ourselves.

2. To accept ourselves.

3. To love ourselves.

• As leaders and positive difference makers, it’s crucial to recognize that presence is not just a gift to ourselves; it’s a gift to those we lead and love.

• One of the greatest misconceptions is viewing rejection as a dead end. In reality, it is a pivotal point where paths diverge, leading to new and unforeseen growth opportunities. 

• Release the burden of perfection and embrace the imperfections that make you authentically human. 

• Every rejection is a redirection and a chance to learn, evolve, let go, and grow.

• Finding meaning and fulfillment in the daily wins transforms life into a truly special human experience.

• "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow." ― Mary Anne Radmacher

Magic Question

If I were less afraid of others' opinions, what would I say?

We’re slowly growing the size of the Daily Coach Network, adding up to 15 new members at the end of the summer. Applications to join are due today. 

The Daily Coach Network was created to give senior sports execs, coaches, and business leaders a small, private group where they can discuss ideas and challenges leading their teams and themselves, without a big time commitment.
