Find a Way Forward

In South Louisiana…people are moving forward…and they will find a way. As we continue to find a way forward, as a team, I hope that we lead our customers, team members and our family with Humility.
When we lead with humility…our people will see and feel the difference. We will make our people feel important…each person will feel appreciated, valued and empowered.

Do you accept responsibility? Are you giving credit to others? Do you accept constructive feedback? Are you working to become who you are capable of becoming? Are you helping others, without conditions, without expecting anything in return?

Practice humility through these next steps:

1. Be Present…Focus on the Present
2. Be Grateful for what you have
3. Listen to others
4. Acknowledge what others do
5. Ask for help when you need it
6. Review your actions against your pride and ego

 
This prayer below is powerful. I am sharing it with you as we focus and work to lead our people with humility.
