MGM Coaching

A lot of people have asked me what I do to start the new year off right. I give a very similar answer each time. What is your Conative Profile/instinctive strengths and needs? What are your initiating strengths? Your Counter Acting Strengths? This answer will then change how I proceed to answer their first question. For you today, I'll say what I do to start the new year off right. I plan, schedule, develop, and set goals. For you, that may not be best. For me, by creating and developing systems to follow and goals to achieve, I start off the new year with complete Conative Sync. As an initiative systematizer, I NEED the freedom and ability to do this. If I don't, I'm already behind the 8 ball and trying to play catch up. So, to you, I ask. What is your Conative Profile? If you aren't sure, ask how MGM Coaching can help. With a 20-minute assessment and hour-long interpretation, you'll be investing in yourself and your development, which will allow you to feel completely in sync for the rest of your days.

Here's to: More Growth More Networking More Conative Sync More Helping the Workplace More Doing what you LOVE TO DO! Cheers!

A few weeks ago, my good friend Scott Saperston and I finished as Runners-Up in the 69th Annual Buffalo Tennis & Squash Club Invitational. Why am I telling you this? 1. Because I'm extremely proud of how we battled against what was probably a better team 2. You don't always win, so responding to loss is something we all need to learn 3. Squash is a hobby of mine that allows me to relieve stress and get incredible exercise Find what you love to do, then do it. The squash community in Buffalo, NY, is phenomenal, and I have developed incredible relationships from playing this sport. Looking forward to many more tournaments!

Here's to starting 2025 off right! Happy New Year everyone!

For the next few weeks, you won't see any posts from me (except maybe on Christmas and New Year). Shutting down LinkedIn, social media, and, quite frankly, my laptop to be with friends and family this holiday season. Some may call me lazy. Some may call me complacent. Call me whatever you want. I'm Resetting, Refocusing, Restrategizing, and Re-energizing myself for what will be an even bigger and better 2025. Enjoy the photos of my 2024! Cheers, Y'all!

As we approach the holiday season, it's easy to get caught up in the joy of celebrations and time spent with loved ones. Let's not forget that this time of year also presents an incredible opportunity for networking and professional growth. Here are a few reasons why I believe the holidays are a great time to network: 1️⃣ The holiday season brings people together, fostering a sense of goodwill and camaraderie. Take advantage of this positive atmosphere by attending industry events and holiday parties 2️⃣ The holidays offer an excellent chance to reconnect with colleagues, clients, and professional contacts you've already established relationships with. Reach out to them to express your appreciation and extend warm wishes for the season. 3️⃣ The spirit of giving is at the heart of the holiday season. Engage in charitable activities or volunteer for causes that resonate with you. Not only will you make a positive impact, but you'll also meet like-minded individuals who share similar values. It's an opportunity to network with individuals who are passionate about making a difference. 4️⃣ The end of the year is a natural time for reflection and goal setting. Use this period to assess your professional achievements and aspirations. Leverage your network to seek advice, guidance, or even potential mentorship. #HolidayNetworking #ProfessionalGrowth #RelationshipBuilding #NetworkingTips #mgmcoaching

Last March, I came across an article that I've had pinned to read forever. I finally came around to it and I wanted to share the highlights of it with you today. 1. Remote work kills friendships and community within a company. These friendships and that community are imperative for cohesiveness, but specifically for the younger generations. 2. Without those workplace friendships or a workplace community, isolation is becoming more prevalent, leading to the rise in mental health issues that so many face today. 3. Younger generations are looking for this friendship and community elsewhere, leading to them switching jobs more often than ever before. Moral of the story: PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE

Without determination, opportunity means nothing. You could meet the right person or have access to the right information, but if you're not willing to do anything about it, you should not expect anything. I hear people say all the time that they don't "get lucky" and that they don't "know the right people." Almost always, I instinctively tell them they're wrong. You cannot expect someone else to do the work for you. Without any determination to improve your life, be better, learn new things, or meet new people, the opportunities presented DAILY will go wasted. I absolutely love this.
