The Evolution of Signature Moves

Confession: From 2006-2018 I had no idea I was harming people. The message of “Signature Moves” started out innocently enough as a message to help others recognize their talents, gifts, and skills. What I hadn’t realized was that, as Speaker and Performer, I was a surgeon of the mind and heart for the listener! Standing on the stage I would perform the “Signature Moves” of great artists, a nearly spot-on impression, make the audience laugh, and then ask the probing question: “That was their Signature Move, and you have yours, too.  What is it?  You must find it and share it with the world!” This was, in theory, a very good message – well delivered, met with standing ovations, even requests to return the next year. And yet, in private, I would receive emails saying the following: “I loved your presentation, it really got me thinking.  However, I can honestly say, I have no idea what my Signature Moves are, nor how to find them, and it’s really tearing me apart.”  Truth is I wasn’t quite sure how to articulate the process. Therefore, I was harming people without realizing it! ~ Many years ago I made a Promise to myself

Martin Luther King Jr: The Promise to Be You

As a kid growing up in Utah, Martin Luther King, Jr. became one of my childhood heroes when I first remember our teacher playing a recording of his “I Have a Dream” speech in class.     What I recall from that speech, as a little boy, was Dr. King’s emphasis on the fact that we are all children of God, equally, and have a right, and a place, to be who we are on this earth, no matter how we look, no matter what others think. He once said, “You will change your mind; You will change your looks; You will change your smile, laugh, and ways, but no matter what you change, you will always be you.”   The Promise to “Be You”, and especially, to be the BEST you, is not emphasized enough anywhere. That’s why I talk about it so much. Last week I sat with award-winning teachers, helping them struggle through the exercise of “Identifying their Signature Moves” with the proven process of IDENTIFY, CLARIFY, MAGNIFY, and define The Promise to themselves. It is a painful and somewhat foreign process for all of us to go through, this idea of embracing our strengths, as I have

Camp Fire in CA: What Amount of Money Justifies Keeping A Promise?

The devastation that ravaged California in 2018 due to wildfires is difficult to comprehend. Families lost everything, many lost their very lives, and one company is now being held accountable. According to CNN, Pacific Gas & Electric, PG&E, is facing manslaughter charges as truth comes to light in the aftermath of the State’s deadliest and destructive Camp Fire. What was the Promise broken? Many in fact, perhaps unspoken and simply assumed promises after getting/keeping the job, and yet made all the difference: “failing to properly operate and maintain power lines”  “clearing vegetation around power lines” This is unacceptable. If the allegations are true this simply means PG&E justified in their weekly meetings that it didn’t make money from the task of “clearing and maintaining”, seen as an un-profitable task, which was for business already won….and it caused mass destruction due to a broken promise. On a personal level we have all experienced the relationship where a promise was broken, the gut-wrenching realization and inevitable disappointing aftermath. On a business level we seem to deal with them daily in untruthful claims, lack of promises kept in customer service and customer experience, and so we go to the next company in search of truth

Feel Good Promise Stories to Begin 2019

Welcome to the New Year! Always a beautiful time to reflect on the past, commit to the present, prepare for an amazing future. Throughout the Holiday Season it was fun to gather a few stories that will touch your heart and will also help bring home the value of a Promise that is relatable to all of us. Don’t think words matter so much? Consider the power between words like “Goal” vs. “Resolution” vs. “Promise”, and how they resonate to you. What words really MOVE YOU? They all carry their own weight, and yet it is when we decide to be a person of greater integrity, service, and magnitude in our making this world a better place that we can actually make a difference when we do a few things as will be illustrated in these stories: NOTICE – See what’s going on in the lives of others.  Just look around, be conscientious, take note!  This is something the greatest, most effective Legendary Leaders do naturally. COMMIT – Promise yourself to be the kind of person who will actually DO SOMETHING of significance, rather than just observe the world as we live in it and let opportunities to serve pass
