Organizations are certainly familiar with email and, quite honestly, they are unaware that they abuse it. Typically when we think of an underutilized tool we try and remember tools we've forgotten about. The problem with email is not that we forget about it, but organizations never even consider how best to use it.

When you are viewed as an authority your words are authoritative, however, you must use your words to gain authority as well.

Now, you may find yourself saying, "I guess this is just what I'm meant to do," as you consider your current lot in life, but it wasn't always that way. As a child you were a dreamer. You could do anything you wanted and everyone around you thought it was cute. As you grew something changed and suddenly the word "realistic" became vocabulary you heard more often. 

It's time for you and I to get back to what came naturally to us: dreaming.]]></description>

Dozens of tweets or posts appear every minute and keeping up is tough.

You probably have good reason for hating Mondays. Many people do. However, could our attitude on Monday reveal more about our character and our outlook on life than we give it credit for? What would it look like if you altered your perspective of why you work and why you are getting up and starting a new week every Monday.

This Periscope video may be exactly the kick in the pants you need to be fired up for Mondays.]]></description>

You no longer need to be a Photoshop expert to create stunning images to populate your social media feeds. Using amazing (free) tools that are completely web-based you now have the power to catch the eye of users as they scroll through each network feed - and catch their eye. In a time when a premium is placed on the visual it isn't bad to have a simple tool like Spruce ready and waiting to execute your every command.

Oh and BTW, it's custom made for the non-Photoshop user but... Photoshop experts will find it refreshingly simple as well.]]></description>

In this episode of #dactalk Charissa and I take on a topic that is becoming more and more relevant to the every day person: Selling on social media. When you don't know what to do you are relegated to taking pictures of a product you love, putting a whimsical caption about why you're using it at that moment and then post it in hopes that someone will be interested.

While there is a place for that sort of post that place is located within a greater strategy. This episode isn't about building a strategy from front to back but it is about what elements need to be present in your strategy if you hope to be effective selling on social.]]></description>

Recently a new friend of mine, Justin Trapp, send me an email asking if I'd be willing to share my story on his 30 in 30 program. The whole concept, WHICH I LOVE, is Justin taking 30 days to interview 30 different influential leaders and I was honored to be invited to talk with Justin.

Why is it so easy to become content with the attitude of "that's good enough"? No matter whether we have taken that attitude towards personal or professional responsibilities, we know that bumping up our effort at any given task can produce outstandingly better results. Why are we content with good, or rather, good enough?]]></description>

It was the middle of July and I was trying to take in a baseball game with my 15-month-old son, Isaiah. If I lived in San Diego it wouldn't be such a big deal, but July in Phoenix is miserable. Like, 113 degrees miserable.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we got home it was a struggle. Just battling the heat from the car to the stadium took nearly every ounce of energy (and hydration) I had. When we arrived at our seats, Isaiah didn't want to sit for longer than an inning, so we walked around the stadium several times. Despite the struggles of the day, I would never take back that experience.]]></description>

It seems impossible to find an app that, without compromise, allows me to add text to a photo on my iPhone. I previously had mentioned using <a title="FrameUrLife - iTunes Affiliate Link" href="http://bit.ly/18od5bY" target="_blank">FrameUrLife</a> as one that has a lot of promise. I still love the app, but wanted to keep looking to see if there was something more suited for me. It bugs me that Instagram and Facebook could possibly use my images without my knowledge so I like to add a watermark to each image before I upload them. It's a silly rebellion but I find it enjoyable.]]></description>

During my early years of working in the church many of my leaders wanted to see me succeed. I would fail and then fear they would give up on me. But their desire to see me do well was so strong that they would each continue to pour into and challenge me to grow and improve. Knowing I had a safe environment to experience failure gave me freedom to take big risks. I loved having someone there at the end of the day to make me feel awesome regardless of the outcome. I call those people awesome-makers.

The older you get and the higher you climb on the leadership ladder awesome-makers become hard and harder to find. I don't know what disease you contract when you reach adulthood but one of the symptoms is definitely a lack of people who's expressed purpose in your life is to encourage you.
