Jump Onboard And Let’s Paddle

May 11, 2016Jason Barger

Have you ever watched someone try to jump onboard a moving boat? It’s funny isn’t it? It is a very difficult task to perform gracefully. It’s awkward for the person jumping and for those who are already in the boat. It most certainly jostles some waves and a little discomfort in the pit of stomachs. That same experience is happening every day within teams and organizations around the world. New teammates or members will “onboard”…

The Naked Truth About Leadership

April 27, 2016Jason Barger

(leadership lessons) We should all take our clothes off more often in our life and work. Okay, not literally (my attorney just reminded me). I’m not looking for lawsuits and neither are you or your company. So, keep your clothes on. (Real Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any of you who read this literally and actually take your clothes off at an inopportune time. Think it through, buddy.) But, metaphorically speaking, many team cultures…

The Spectrum Of Trust

April 13, 2016Jason Barger

I’ll let you in on a little secret… We do not trust everyone in our lives and work equally. Bam! I said it. Wow, you expected that to be more dramatic. That statement may seem obvious, but we also get fooled into thinking that we are supposed to just blindly trust everyone equally on our teams and in our organizations. But, as you fully know, we are human beings and that is just not realistic….

The Currency For Leading Change

March 30, 2016Jason Barger

It may seem simple, but change begins with a conversation. Yep, that’s right. Conversations are the currency for change. It all begins with what we are willing to talk about. Yet, it is amazing how many thoughts, worries, doubts, fears, and assumptions are bouncing around our own heads every day. Multiply that by the number of people on your team or within your company or organization and you can see what a mess it can…

The Best Keynote Speakers In The World

March 2, 2016Jason Barger

I hear people say this phrase all the time, “He or She Is One Of The Best Keynote Speakers In The World.” It usually happens after an event that I’ve spoken at and I’m mingling with the crowd afterward. I love hearing other people’s views on the best keynote speakers they’ve ever heard. No, they usually aren’t referencing me when they said it — I’m just happy to be mentioned within the same hemisphere as…

Why & When Change Management Fails

February 17, 2016Jason Barger

Change is happening all around us. It’s no secret that we live in a fast-changing, global world. The generational shift is happening even as we speak, we’re adjusting to differing economic climates, and styles of communication are evolving as rapidly as ever. The rate of change outside in the world is fast and only compounded by the rate of change that many teams and organizations feel inside their walls. Therefore, change management is important, but I…

Take A Bath To Find Motivation

February 4, 2016Jason Barger

Staying motivated is critical to everything we do in life and work. Yet, we all know how difficult it is to stay motivated for each day, each meeting, each project, each game, each element of our everyday lives. But, the very best leaders, teams, relationships, and entire organizations are the ones that continuously find new ways to stay motivated, to stay rooted in purpose. Motivation is a funny thing. When we have it, there is…

Culture Management Matters

January 20, 2016Jason Barger

Your culture is changing. You can’t stop it from changing. The only question is Do You Want To Play Any Role In What It Becomes?   You see, we know that our success as teams, companies, families, or organizations are more directly connected with HOW we do something than WHAT we actually do. We know that two teams with approximately the same level of talent can have two different outcomes based on the chemistry within…

Daring To Begin (courageous leadership)

January 5, 2016Jason Barger

“All glory comes from daring to begin.” – Eugene Ware   The start of a new year or the beginning of anything new, brings excitement, fear, doubt, and many other emotions. We all know it is often easier to just stay with what is comfortable, stay right where we are, and risk nothing. But, we also know deep inside that there is more to be experienced, more growth to be had, and more that is…

Creating Your New Year Vision: Start With BE, Not DO

December 21, 2015Jason Barger

As you solidify your plan for the coming year in your personal life, with your team at work, with your spouse or family, or the organization you serve, I invite you to reflect on a different question. The typical questions we race to are What Do I Want To DO Next Year?  What Are My Goals? These are good questions. We’ll get there. But first, I encourage you to step back and ask the questions…
