A few thoughts on goals...

• "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time." - Zig Ziglar
• "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." - Les Brown
• "Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit." - Bear Bryant

Today's Think Tank took a hard detour for Dr. Fred to reflect and respond to the events of this week and the deafening call for systemic change to end racism. "We teach our leaders - find your voice, use your words.  It's just one drop in the bucket. If enough of us add our drop to the bucket then enough buckets can become a tsunami for change."

Dr. Fred Johnson and Dr. Kris Eiring (Psychologist,  PhD, CMPC) lead the group through a powerful discussion surrounding our mental health and wellness and how we can excel during this "grind phase" of the pandemic. They'll dive in to the mindsets we operate in every day - we can't focus on EVERYTHING, how do we cope? Flee, Fight, or Freeze?  Dr. Kris spoke to her experience counseling high performing athletes and how this can apply to business.  We're all in the same storm, but we may be equipped with different boats and different currents. How can keep moving our boat forward while helping other boats as well?
