Leprechaun Lane's Trained Canines

Ever feel like life just sucker-punched you in the face? You had a plan. You were making progress. And then—BAM. Setback. Most people get stuck here. I used to. But now? I flip the script. Here’s how I turn setbacks into my biggest breakthroughs: 🔹 Acknowledge my emotions Ignoring them doesn’t work. Fighting them doesn’t help. Instead, I write them down. (Backed by science.) → What am I feeling? → Why am I feeling this way? Then I do one of two things: ✔️ Dissect it (find the root cause) ✔️ Leave it behind (if it’s just noise) 🔹 Learn from the experience Setbacks aren’t proof of failure. They’re proof that you’re ready for growth. We weren’t put on this planet to sit around eating bonbons all day. 😆 The lesson isn’t always obvious, but it’s there. Even if it’s as simple as learning perseverance. 🔹 Realign my goals Sometimes setbacks are just detours to a better destination. I ask myself: → Where did the challenge begin? → How could I have pivoted earlier? Because a renewed commitment often leads to breakthroughs you never saw coming. And I leave you with this: 💡 How can I become even better at focusing on solutions instead of setbacks? Drop your thoughts below. 👇 P.S. If this hit home, repost for your network. ♻️

🚨 The Workplace is Changing—But Are We Focusing on the Right Things? 🚨 Lately, there’s been a lot of debate about DEI rollbacks and return-to-office mandates. But the real conversation isn’t just about policies—it’s about workplace efficiency and revenue. The numbers don’t lie: 🔹 Many businesses that embraced DEI are now seeing hits to revenue and margins. 🔹 Some elements of DEI have been ruled unconstitutional in the U.S. 🔹 The return-to-office push? The resistance isn’t as widespread as it seems. Take Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan Chase. He faced pushback over RTO, but only 950 employees signed a petition—out of 353,000. That’s less than 0.3%. The bigger issue? A lack of engagement and connection. Companies thrive when employees are aligned, connected, and driving revenue—not when they’re stuck in ideological battles. Let’s shift the focus: 👉 What’s the biggest challenge you see in today’s workplace? Drop a comment. 👇

I bet you've been told: 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀. They buy trust. I bet you've never been told: 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲. Today's buyer buy the identity they align with - no matter how great your product is. You might need a double-take on that - look again, it's ok! If you’re struggling to connect with clients, it’s not because your product isn’t good. It’s because you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Here’s how to attract clients who trust you, refer you, and stick around for the long haul: 🔹 1. Narrow your niche This is about crafting a voice that connects - not about limiting who you serve. Speak to the people you naturally connect with. The result? → More trust. → Better relationships. → More referrals from satisfied clients who see themselves in you. 🔹 2. Step into their identity People don’t just buy products. They buy into the person they want to become. Ask yourself: → How does my client want to see themselves? → How do they want others to see them? Align with that, and you’re not just selling. You’re elevating their identity. 🔹 3. Stop selling features. Start listening. Your product is great, but your client doesn’t care about its specs. They care about: ✔️ How it makes them feel. ✔️ How it aligns with their goals. ✔️ How it helps them become the person they want to be. Listen more. Sell less. Win bigger. Which of these do you think is the most powerful? Drop your answer in the comments. 👇 P.S. If this resonated, repost for your network. ♻️

If people don’t trust you, they don’t engage. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Instead of: "Want more leads?" Try: "If you're a B2B consultant struggling to book calls, here’s a simple fix."

Micromanaging is killing your team’s growth (and your own). I get it. You want things done right. You have high standards. You care about the details. But here’s the reality: Micromanaging doesn’t create better work. It creates bottlenecks. 🚨 Your team feels disempowered. 🚨 Innovation slows down. 🚨 You become the single point of failure. So how do you stop? 🔹 Shift from control to coaching – Guide, don’t dictate. 🔹 Define clear expectations – Alignment beats over-supervision. 🔹 Trust, then verify – Give autonomy, review outcomes, and adjust. When you stop micromanaging, your team steps up—and you free yourself to focus on the bigger picture. Are you leading or controlling? Let’s discuss. 👇 ♻️ Repost this if you’ve been guilty of micromanaging before!

I make sure I’m using words that empower, not words that anchor me to self-doubt. 2️⃣ 𝗜 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲. I remind myself that coaching isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about guiding the right questions. 3️⃣ I use my frameworks. If fear is the barrier, I apply F.E.A.R. & F.O.C.U.S. If action is the challenge, I structure T.A.R.G.E.T. Goals. Instead of uncertainty, I lean into curiosity, adaptability, and strategic problem-solving. Coaching isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating breakthroughs together. How do you handle self-doubt? Let’s discuss. ⬇️ ♻️ Repost this for someone who needs it.
