The Year Of Continued Fatigue

Joseph Lalonde

2020 was the year of COVID-19. I believe it was also the year of fatigue. So many leaders have been challenged, beat down, and talked down to because of the COVID-19 virus.

How to Coach for SMART Goals

Next Level Blog

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of sharing an auditorium with dozens of motivated young college men from the HBCU North Carolina Central University and other institutions. I know they were motivated because they showed up at 8:30 am on a Saturday morning for the Durham Success Summit’s (DSS) annual flagship event.

Great Results Team Building

If you are reading this article, then either you or someone on your team needs to develop a more coachable mindset. The issue, as many people have found, is that when you do not have a coachable mindset, you remain stuck and find excuses for the lack of results that stubbornness delivers.

In April my ex-husband passed away after a very short battle with cancer. It’s an unusual expression – to ‘battle’ with cancer. There was no battle. The cancer was cunning.

People who love structure – the ones who like to know and follow the rules and prefer details clearly defined can get frustrated with me when I am not always great at providing them.
