Accept criticism but never accept disrespect

Our “Coaches Clipboard” is a collection of quotes, pertinent phrases, knowledge and wisdom. Shared every now and then on a Sunday. It’s our "thinking menu" with some bits and pieces we came across…
#sharetheknowledge 🙂

Read. Enjoy. Think. Share.

1. Accept criticism but never accept disrespect.

2. Forgiveness isn’t about erasing mistakes but freeing yourself from their weight.

3. Storytelling is not just a tool for entertainment — it’s a powerful way to influence behavior, create connection and drive action.

4. Don’t whine. Don’t complain. Don’t make excuses.

5. For me, intelligence starts with this expression, “I don’t know, I need help.”

6. Weigh the consequences of different actions before you act.

7. If it’s wisdom you are after, you are going to spend a lot of time sitting on your ass and reading.

8. Incorporate surprising or counterintuitive insights. The human brain craves novelty, and adding unexpected elements keeps your audience engaged and attentive.

9. When distractions arise and life gets hectic, remind yourself of your why and realign your efforts towards that vision.

10. Who and what defines you?
