Hello friends,

Last month, I practiced what I teach about mindset and pre-paving when the unexpected hit my calendar... jury duty!

Throughout the month, I also shared quite a few deep dives into the six Acumen dimensions we see in TriMetrix! From Practical Thinking to Systems Judgment, Role Awareness to Sense of Self. These mini deep dives are built to help you spot these capacities in your daily life.

We also tackled a question that comes up so often: "What do I do about lack of trust within my team?" Trust is the #1 building block for any Wake Up Eager workplace, and when it's low, everything slows down.

On the podcast, we explored how to shift teams from stuck to solution with a facilitation framework that works across industries. Plus, this tip for brainstorming with your team!

We also released an episode all about applying axiology (the science behind Acumen) to your brand and culture. If you're wondering whether your brand is "sticky" enough, you definitely want to listen in to Episode 137!

We also shared how TriMetrix is a little like getting an insights report for a candidate instead of a car: the CarFax of People.

I also shared three of my favorite mantras to help support integrating the insights of TriMetrix into you and your team's daily work—the Engine Tune-Up for Acumen, the Test Drive for DISC, and the Fuel Check for Motivators.

And for anyone wondering about the paths their lives have taken, we explored an Anne Frank quote that perfectly captures how we're all different yet the same in our pursuit of happiness.

With appreciation for you,

Ask Me Anything: “What do I do about lack of trust in my team?”

When there’s a lack of trust at work, you can feel it everywhere… communication, productivity, morale…

I get a lot of questions about what it really takes to create a workplace where employees can really thrive. And here’s the truth: TRUST is a KEY building block. Without it, everything everything slows to a crawl…

In this AMA, I answer a great question from Joe who is dealing with low trust in a new leader and wondering about practical ways to show employee appreciation.

If you’re facing similar challenges, this article will give you some ideas to start with!

TriMetrix is an assessment. But it’s also a map of your internal world, your UNIQUE wiring!

You should read it like a conversation with your best coach, not like a performance review. If it’s been a while since you’ve looked at your report through this lens, try working through it with our Learning Bites.

I believe that YOU and the people around you have the potential to be a champion race car driver!!

Your self-belief and self-mastery are your fuel!

One of the very best parts of my work is that I get to help others build a Wake Up Eager life through tools like TriMetrix.

Can you say "I understand the structure and plans that make up the world around me"? That's Systems Judgment.

What about "I feel confident in my choices and clear on my purpose and value"? That's Sense of Self.

Each dimension unlocks insight into how you naturally show up at work and in life—and how to strengthen those capacities every day.
