Dear Friends:


My recent fishing trip to Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan, Canada was absolutely amazing. The trip was a much-needed break from the daily grind, allowing me to relax and recharge. It also gave me the chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Meeting Lisa Peters, the host of the LeaderImpact Podcast and Talk Show on AccessNowTV, in person, was a definite highlight. We had connected through a podcast a few months back, and her husband, Ward, added to the fun and camaraderie during our fishing adventures and fry.


A big shout-out goes to Alan and Aden from High Plains Outfitters for organizing such an unforgettable experience. Their expertise and guidance played a crucial role in making the trip a success. As we said our goodbyes to Lake Diefenbaker, we're already excitedly planning our return for next year's adventure.

Yours truly, and our friend and guide Alan

MY NEW BOOK

When the Cows Lie Down: The Reason People Quit YOU, Their "Leader"


My next book explores good and bad quitting and explains the reasons behind them because it affects the bottom line. The book also focuses on why people are quietly quitting—leaving the workforce, avoiding office environments, and giving up on social aspects of work. By understanding the reasons behind quietly quitting, you can leverage that knowledge to your advantage.



There are times, however, when quitting becomes essential for success, health, and raising your game. There are also moments when people quit their leaders—times when the cows lie down, so to speak.
