"A decision is not an event. It is a process. This means any decision is only as strong as its weakest link. Which of these 6 links is your weakest? We often think of decisions as events, sudden moments when a choice is made between options or a yes or no is decided. But, that’s not what decisions are really like. Decisions are processes that unfold over time. There’s preparation, options, evaluations, negotiations, implementation, and so on. This doesn’t mean people are aware of this process. Often they are not. Also, the process can go very fast, making it seem like an event. To unravel the complexity of decisions, it is useful to see them as a chain of aspects or questions. These six are critical: 1. Clear Values. What do I want? 2. Create Alternatives: What can I do? 3. Useful Information: What do I need to know? 4. Sound Reasoning: Am I thinking straight? 5. Commitment to Follow Through: Will I do it? 6. Helpful Frame: What am I really deciding? I find these six excellent questions that we should ask ourselves more often when making a decision. Because, if one is missing, the decision breaks apart. Think about it: • If Clear Values is missing, there is no reason or purpose guiding the decision • If Crate Alternatives is missing, you too easily pick the first convenient option that pops up • If Useful Information is missing, you make uninformed decisions • If Sound Reasoning is missing, you jump to conclusions and make mistakes • If Commitment to Follow Through is missing, you will not actually live the decision • If Helpful Frame is missing, you will never make the actual decisions. All six voids will break the chain of events and lead to bad decisions. Personally, my biggest challenge and weakest link is Useful Information. I tend to skip that step too easily, assuming I know everything it takes to know. What is your weakest link and biggest challenge? Source: Keyne Insight" ______________

🦁 Stay Hungry for Success – Never Settle, Always Strive 🏆 The image of a lion in the background of a blazing desert sunset with the words “Stay Hungry for Success” carved into a stone is a bold reminder of what it takes to thrive in life. Like a lion hunting in the wild, we must keep our hunger for growth, achievement, and purpose alive. Success is not a one-time event; it’s a continuous journey. The moment we feel too comfortable or satisfied, we risk falling behind. Hunger—whether for learning, growth, or excellence—is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us to get up early, work harder, take risks, and bounce back from failure. A hungry mind never stops searching, improving, and evolving. Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, artist, or athlete—staying hungry means staying focused and ambitious, no matter how many victories you’ve already had. The lion isn’t the king of the jungle because of size—it's because of mindset. So stay driven. Stay passionate. Stay unstoppable. Because the hungrier you are, the closer you get to your goals. #StayHungry #SuccessMindset #Motivation #Ambition #NeverSettle #LionMentality #KeepPushing #RiseAndRoar

Most managers waste their 1-on-1s. This is how I make sure I don’t: Early in my career, I didn’t understand the power of a great 1-on-1. As a founder, I make sure my 1-on-1s drive growth, trust, and retention. As a Manager: Here’s what I do differently. ▶️ I plan ahead. My team knows the agenda before we meet. No surprises, no wasted time. ▶️ I start with a human check-in. No one wants to jump straight into work talk. A few minutes of real conversation builds trust. ▶️ I always give structured feedback. I use “Start, Stop, Continue”: Start: What new actions could help them grow? Stop: What habits might be slowing them down? Continue: What are they excelling at? Reinforce their strengths. ▶️ I set meaningful goals with them, not for them. Using “The 3Ps” framework: Project: What’s the next big deliverable? Progress: How are their skills evolving? Path: Where do they want to go in their career? ▶️ I never cancel. If something comes up, I reschedule. It’s a signal that their time matters. ▶️ I listen more than I talk. My job is to unblock—not dominate the conversation. ▶️ I offer genuine support. Saying, “Let me know if you need anything” is lazy. Instead, I make specific offers to help. As an Employee, Here’s what I did to make my 1-on-1s count: ✅ I came prepared. I treated these meetings as a chance to drive my own growth, not just report updates. ✅ I gave my managers feedback using “The H.O.W.” framework: Highlight: What’s working? Start with the positives. Observe: What challenges are holding me back? Be honest. Wish: What support do I need? Be specific. ✅ I took ownership of my career. I didn’t wait for my manager to ask about my goals—I brought them up myself. ✅ I defined my own growth using the “G.R.I.T." framework: Goal: What’s my long-term career objective? Reality: Where am I right now? What gaps exist? Initiative: What skills, projects, or mentorship will get me there? Timeline: When do I want to reach each milestone? Invest in these conversations. You’ll see the ROI in trust, collaboration, and retention. What’s your 1-on-1 strategy?
