Better @ Work

The best leaders don’t avoid feedback - they attract it.

​
​The “Coachability Quotient” Strategy​
​

We all say we want to grow. But too often, we treat feedback like an attack instead of a gift. We defend. Deflect. Dismiss. And without realizing it, we shut the door on the very thing that could make us better.

Great teams aren’t built on agreement. They’re built on truth and the trust to share it.

Here are some strategies to become more coachable.

​

✅ How-To:

• Invite honest feedback before it’s forced on you. Ask: “What’s one thing I could do better?” and mean it.
• Practice your poker face. Don’t argue or explain. Just listen, thank, and reflect. It earns more feedback next time.
• Respond with action, not ego. Show people their input matters by applying it. Quiet improvements speak volumes.
• Create psychological safety. If your team flinches before telling you the truth, your leadership ceiling is lower than you think.
• Model what you want. Be coachable publicly. Let others see you taking feedback and growing from it.

​

🎯 Takeaway:​
You don’t grow by defending your current self. You grow by listening to who you could become.

​

🔥 Try This:​
Send a one-question survey to your team or a peer: “What’s one thing I do that helps and one thing that hurts team momentum?”​
Then... don’t explain. Just thank them and make a change.

​

🧠 Reflection:​
When was the last time you received hard feedback—and actually did something with it?

Better @ Home

Because sometimes the words you speak are the ones that stick.

​
​The “Read Aloud Rule”

​

At home, it’s easy to consume content passively. Scroll. Skim. Swipe. But speaking the words aloud, just five minutes a day, slows you down and wakes you up.

Whether you're with family or flying solo, this ritual rewires your relationship with ideas and presence.

​

✅ How-To:

• 📖 Pick something short but rich — a quote, a paragraph, a poem, or a page.
• 🗣 Read it out loud once a day. With feeling. Like you mean it.
• 💬 Bonus: If you live with others, invite them to listen or take turns.
• 🪞 Solo? Try reading your own journal entry, intention, or mantra.
• 🎙 Repeat it for a week and watch your voice and awareness sharpen.

​

🎯 Takeaway:​
Reading aloud helps you slow down, process deeply, and connect intentionally with yourself or with the people you live with.

​

🔥 Try This:​
Create a daily “reading ritual” space. Cozy chair, cup of something warm, zero distractions. Read out loud like it matters. Because it does.

​

🧠 Reflection:​
What words have stayed with you lately, and when’s the last time you spoke them out loud?

Better @ Life

A single hour a week to become who you actually want to be.

​
​The “Legacy Hour” Strategy

​

We spend our days checking boxes for everyone else. But when was the last time you made space for the version of you that doesn’t have a to-do list?

Enter: Legacy Hour.
One hour. Once a week.
No meetings. No scrolling. No "shoulds."
Just intentional time for what really matters.

​

✅ How-To:

• Name it. Call it your Legacy Hour. It’s not free time, it’s sacred time.
• Block it. Put it on your calendar like a doctor’s appointment. Same time every week.
• Protect it. Turn off notifications. Tell others you’re unavailable. Respect it like you would for someone else.
• Use it for meaning, not maintenance:
  • Write that book you’ve been thinking about.
  • Sort family photos and tell the stories behind them.
  • Journal your values or life lessons.
  • Record voice memos to your future grandkids.
  • Make a playlist of songs that shaped your life.
  • Pray. Meditate. Create. Reflect. Dream.

​

🎯 Takeaway:​
If your calendar reveals your priorities, Legacy Hour is the antidote to autopilot. You don’t need more hours in the day, you need one that matters.

​

🔥 Try This:​
This week, schedule a single hour with no agenda except purpose. Write “Legacy Hour” on your calendar and show up for your future.

​

🧠 Reflection:​
If this was your last year on Earth, how would you spend your next hour?
