It's true, we haven't seen Jeff in weeks!
He left the rest of us here in the office while heading to Hawaii nearly two weeks ago to run a leadership workshop with students from Penn State University.
Then, earlier this week he traded in his Hawaiian shirt for a coat and fancy hat to join his classmates at his 50th college reunion from West Point.
We're not at all bitter about it. Really, we're not ;)
He will surely regale us with many stories of his travel adventures when he returns to the office. We can't wait to hear them!
Storytelling is such a powerful and engaging teaching tool. Stories help connect us to each other, to events, and to lessons.
That is why we use storytelling in all our leadership workshops.
One of the consequences and most important lessons from the Attack on Pearl Harbor, is that it germinated a unity amongst the American people; that great team called the nation.
Talk about a great story!
In this McCausland Monday video and blog post Jeff shares the background of an important monument at Pearl Harbor and the most important lesson we can learn from this historic event.

Create a team like a meerkat mob - trust, resilience, buy-in
"Team trouble" is definitely a reality right now.
What do we mean?
As you continue to adjust to new guidelines, requests, and expectations from organizations AND employees you might be feeling a little added tension.
Some companies want folks back in the office but employees want to stay home.
Stakeholders want to get back to business but organizations aren't able to move as quickly.
Many are feeling hesitant, fearful, or just plain overwhelmed by it all.
This is when we need to build trust, create resilience, and get buy-in.
Without these three ingredients our teams and organizations will continue to flounder.
We have compiled three blog posts that address these important tools. Plus, strategies you can implement right away.
Just a few little tweaks and your team can get back to business like a mob of meerkats!
