If someone had told me that I would be penning TRIPLE III TIME-Inspiring Innovations “Catablog” messages for more than one-five-ten years… “I would have laughed them out of the joint!”  Yet with D.S. and J.B’s strong, continuing skills and support… we are now Beginning Our 12th Year!

Although each weekly message (1,144 so far)…was/is special in its own way, our major topic principles have remained constant: Leadership ALWAYS!, Developing YOU!, Communication LIVES!, and Innovation NOW! When I chose these high-value topics in the beginning… I simply picked professional development action areas that were most important to me. And thankfully after eleven years, I believe they have served us all well.

So now after that quick, fun trip down memory lane… it is time to share the first TRIPLE III TIME message for 2025. Plus in staying with my favorite format for message delivery, here is my TOP 10 Beginning Our 12th Year! priority action list:

  1. Create/Invent/Innovate something every chance you get.
  2. Read a meaningful book… completely during the year.
  3. Send a totally random “Thank You” note to a friend/colleague/family member… maybe every three (3) months.
  4. Begin making NEW donations (time or money) for a worthy cause.
  5. No matter your/their age… mentor someone to help them professionally grow.
  6. Arrive extra early and/or stay late at your workplace at least once per week.
  7. Tell someone you are proud of them for one of their professional development actions…because it matters.
  8. Keep a log of non-traditional personal or organizational growth efforts you are part of. (Keeping “score” will encourage you to do more.)
  9. Make “Always Fresh” a workplace/work performance an everyday theme.
  10. Finally, please use my first NINE (9) priority action list items to be your “LEAD BY EXAMPLE” professional development standards everyday… EVERYDAY!

Lets have a fun, cool new year.
