Another MFCP spring conference is in the books. I am hoping everyone attending had a great time in Cedar Falls. The conference committee packed as much as possible into the event. All attendees came together to embrace the theme “Power of You.”
I go back to the opening keynote with Ryan Dohrn. He gave us all a challenge of figuring out our “why.” Why do we do what we do? He encouraged us to figure out why through purpose, ownership, well-being, empowerment and relationships. (POWER)
He challenged us to ask each other our why. I believe this is something each of us should do more often. It challenges us to dig a little deeper. Don’t get lost in the easy out first thing that comes to mind. Really take 2 minutes to yourself and think about it.
More often than not, we simply start our week or month over again and don’t take the time to stop and recognize why we do what we do over and over again. We need to understand what drives us to show up and keep showing up.
Don’t be afraid to have a deep conversation with your team. I am positive there is so much more to each of us than what we see on the surface. Do what it takes to make your team stronger.
At the conference, the MVPs handed out a small lapel pin that was simply the letter U. I challenged each of the attendees to use it as a reminder to acknowledge the power of you. Cory has extra pins if anyone would like one. Simply contact him.
I leave you today with the reminder to know the POWER OF YOU. Don’t forget to take the time to remind yourself why you do what you do every day. Find your why and take hold of it. Life is precious. Take the time for your power.
