We have received this question more than once in the past 2 weeks.
“Coach, How do you deal with negative people?”.
“They are dragging me down as I try to move up – What do I do?”
If you want to keep getting what your getting – keep on doing what your doing. You have to break the pattern. NOW.
You cannot accept negative people into your life if you are truly to move forward.
“The biggest enemy you have to deal with is yourself”.
You have to control the monkey mind chatter in your head.
You have to break free. Make this YOUR time.
Say yes; to your potential — YOUR dreams.

Question: How about any tips on how to deal with toxic leadership? Did you see any of that during your career? I’m facing a lot of that now and want to keep my team focused and not lose morale.
Answer: I cannot control those above me in the military but I can control my response to them. I have the ability to look for the positive and do my job to the best of my ability. Toxic people usually self destruct so keep doing your best job and they will slowly move away or be demoted.
