Today's Quick 2-Minute Podcast Tip:
Arriving a little early or on-time is a very positive personal branding attribute that demonstrates your respect for others' time. It also sends the signal that you're organized and "on top of things."
Build enough time in your schedule to allow for arriving a few minutes early to meetings. Hold to your scheduled phone call times. If you're running a bit behind, let the other person(s) know -- give them a "heads up" call or text message.
Be a role model for punctuality; expect the same from your team members and direct reports.
Start TODAY -- Review your calendar and make any adustments necessary to give you enough "cushion" between meetings, calls and tasks to allow yourself to be on time.
How would you rate YOUR punctuality? What can you do to improve upon it?

Today's Quick 2-Minute Podcast Tip:
Everyone can teach you something. Everyone has something valuable to offer. New opportunities arise and new ideas surface when you allow yourself to be open to, and eager to learn from others -- all others.
Tune in and listen .... carefully. Set aside judgement, set aside prejudice and set aside your pride. Pay attention to what those around you have to say, consider their opinions, listen to their perspectives.
To be successful, it is important to pay attention to what others have to say. Look for learning opportunities, open your mind up to new possibilities. EVERYONE has something to offer .... it's up to US to find it. Start by listening.

Deliver the best you can .... always -- the very next email you write, the very next conversation you have, the next deliverable you submit today - give conscious attention to making it outstanding.
