How Are You Showing Up?

 I came across this quote over the weekend…and believe it speaks volumes to the work we are doing each and every day. 

 

"Your value is embedded in the action that you take to have the team have success. Whatever role you have, we actually all have the same role and that's to help your team win. How you impact and how you show up is everything."

~Tracy Joyner – Head Women’s Soccer Coach (Oregon) 

 

I hovered on this line:

How you impact- and how you show up is everything. 

 

As I have shared with you many times before- I start my day journaling. I have since taken on a night time journaling routine. 

 

It is simply one question: How did I show up today? I score myself on a scale of 1-10. Then I take some time to think about how I could have been better. 

 

I am usually pretty hard on myself. Shakespeare said it best, ‘To thine own self be true.” 

 

A resolution I have for 2026 is an ardent focus on the ‘3 P’s’. 

 

  1. Purposeful 
  2. Productive
  3. Present

 

Our team needs us to show up every day. How are you showing up? What is your impact? 

To Thine Own Self Be True. 

 

I am in your corner. Always. 

 

Lead. Be Present. Be impactful. Win the Day. 

 

Take care – pja

The Leader's Mindset

 I came across this video over the break. It is short. But well worth the watch. 

 

Coach Cignetti, head football coach at Indiana, certainly has an intense edge to him. But, he’s a leader. And a winner. (google him😊

 

Although there are a number of take aways from this clip…here are three I took away from it:

 

  1. Leadership is a mindset…without compromise. What do you stand for?
  2. I wasn’t going to lower my standards.” – What standards are you setting and standing for?
  3. I had to set an expectation”- What expectations are you setting? 

 

 

As we venture into 2026, what mindset are you bringing to the team and for your team? How are you showing up for the role in which you have been called? 

 

Everyone wins when leader gets better. 

 

I am always in your corner. Win the Day. Take care - pja
