When we show kindness and care, even the most unlikely relationships thrive. Consider this: lions, typically feared, can become loyal companions when treated with love and respect. Or this astonishing reunion: 14 years after losing contact, a man summons his elephant friends back – a testament to their phenomenal memory for generosity, compassion, and kindness. It's not just elephants; dogs, lions, tigers, and countless other animals respond similarly. The truth is: our small acts of kindness and gratitude aren't small at all. They can transform lives – human and animal alike – forever.

Kim Willenbring reposted thisKim Willenbring reposted thisLección de Liderazgo: Deja de competir, céntrate en colaborar 🎻🤝 Como líder, tu misión es crear un entorno donde colaborar sea la prioridad, no competir. 👇 Imagina un concierto donde cada músico intenta destacar más que el otro, subiendo el volumen de su instrumento, luchando por el protagonismo. 🎶 Aunque al final la música puede ser espectacular, todos sabemos que lo que realmente genera una obra maestra es la armonía entre cada uno de los instrumentos. 💡 En lugar de luchar por quién suena más fuerte o quién se lleva el crédito, el verdadero éxito del equipo llega cuando todos trabajan en sintonía, alineados hacia un mismo objetivo. 🚫 Deja de competir con tus colaboradores (o compañeros), porque no se trata de ver quién brilla más. Se trata de asegurarte de que todos estén alineados, aportando su mejor versión para crear una sinfonía perfecta de resultados. 🔑 Claves para fomentar la colaboración en tu equipo: 1. Promueve una cultura de confianza: Si los miembros del equipo confían entre sí, compartirán ideas sin miedo a ser opacados. 2. Enfócate en el propósito común: Cuando todos entienden que el objetivo es lograr algo más grande que los logros individuales, la colaboración surge de manera natural. 3.Celebra los éxitos en equipo: Reconoce los logros conjuntos, no solo individuales. Esto refuerza la idea de que juntos se puede llegar más lejos. 4. Facilita la comunicación abierta: Un buen líder asegura que todos los miembros del equipo se sientan escuchados y valorados. La comunicación es la clave para evitar malentendidos y rivalidades. 🎯 Recuerda: Un equipo no es la suma de talentos individuales que compiten por brillar. Un equipo es la suma de esfuerzos coordinados, donde todos colaboran para alcanzar el éxito compartido.

I see the wealthy who could contribute do much to help these large disasters always look to the middle class to provide donations and support.

Kim Willenbring shared thisIn America the time has come once again, like the start of our nation, where we need to rely on each other and not the government. They rarely spend where we wish our dollars would go, and do not supply help to those who most need it in their timr of need. There are individuals and small groups who are not scammers, you can tell by what support they are asking for. Find some of them and see how you can help. They are the one's doing true search and rescue/recovery. And remember to pray for the people affected by this tragedy. None of them will be able to go back to a life they knew. Just think about that. As Americans and those who call America home, let's stand up and start taking care of our own from the beginning of an event till the last person has their life restored to the best possible means.Kim Willenbring shared thisThe pure love of GOOD SAMARITANS is what has restored my faith in humanity... as this administration and FEMA "handle" the most catastrophic natural disaster response I've EVER seen. Meet Kelsey Gull - one of many going in on horseback. She just saved another life. Don't stop REPOSTING and don't stop making noise.... there are people in desperate situations all in the hills.

Kim Willenbring liked thisKim Willenbring liked thisI used to think starting again was shameful. Now I see it's a superpower: The first time I started over in my career I felt so bad that I went on an 11-day silent meditation retreat. There were two words the teacher said Over and over: "Start again. Start againnnn. Start againnnnn." It made me laugh. But now I see it was his wisest lesson. Most people think successful people never slip up. When actually, they've mastered starting over. They've learned to overcome The 3 enemies who stop you: 1/ Your mind Swirling with stories about your "failures". 2/ Your identity Telling you "I'm not someone who can do this". 3/ Your image Caring about what others will think. None of these are real. They're all made up. Like fairy tales. But the question is: Do you listen to them or not? Here's what helps me ignore them and start again: 1/ Note your thinking You can note it as "thinking, thinking". Bring your attention back to your breath or body. 2/ Reframe your identity If "I can do this" feels too strong, try "I am becoming someone who can do this". 3/ Start in steps Write one post. Send one pitch. Apply for one role. You'll soon realise, no one's really watching you anyway. The friends we've lost Don't get the chance to start again.

Kim Willenbring liked thisKim Willenbring liked this"Give me one reason not to fire you." A brutal line. A turning point. But sometimes, it's not about poor performance. It's because you dared to do things differently. When you challenge the status quo, when you push for what you believe is right, it often makes others uncomfortable, especially those higher up or those protecting the way things have always been done. That's when resistance hits. Sometimes, that resistance comes in the form of termination threats, demotions, or being sidelined. But if you're genuinely committed and what you're doing matters, let’s not go down without a fight. Stand up. Speak up. - Be clear, - be firm, - be persuasive. It might just be enough to turn the tables. Agree?👍

Kim Willenbring liked thisKim Willenbring liked thisSolar doesn’t always need more land. Sometimes it just needs to fit better into what already exists. Installing panels between active rail lines sounds like a smart idea. The space is there. The infrastructure is already built. No competition with farmland or new development. But this is exactly the kind of concept that looks great… until it meets reality. Rail environments are harsh. Constant vibration. Dirt and brake dust. Fluid leaks. Debris. Maintenance crews working under time pressure. That’s not a friendly setting for delicate systems. So the real question isn’t efficiency. It’s durability and integration. Will the panels still perform after years of exposure? Do they slow down maintenance or complicate operations? Do they become an asset or just another thing in the way? Because if upkeep is difficult or reliability drops, the economics won’t hold, no matter how good the idea sounds. Using existing infrastructure is the right direction. But only if the solution survives real-world conditions, not just the concept phase. That’s where most “smart” ideas quietly fail. Would you trust this in daily rail operations? #Innovation #Energy #Infrastructure #Sustainability Source 🤝🏻Granny&Smith

Kim Willenbring liked thisKim Willenbring liked thisWhat if your highest performer is actually your biggest risk? And what if the teammate you overlook is the one who will save your organization? The elite unit of the United States Navy SEALs, arguably one of the highest performing teams on the planet, has a framework for evaluating people which was surprisingly simple. Two axes: Performance Trust Performance is easy to measure. Did you deliver results? Did you hit the targets? Did you execute under pressure? Trust is harder. It is the question they frame bluntly: “I may trust you with my life… but do I trust you with my money and my family?” That is character. That is integrity. If you draw the matrix, four types of people appear: • Low Performance / Low Trust → obvious misfit • High Performance / High Trust → the gold standard • Low Performance / High Trust → coachable, often worth investing in • High Performance / Low Trust → the dangerous one Elite teams would often choose a moderate performer with high trust over a high performer with low trust. Why? Because the high performer who lacks trust becomes a toxic leader, a toxic teammate, and eventually a toxic culture multiplier. Yet in business we often reward exactly that behavior. We track dozens of performance metrics. Revenue metrics. Productivity metrics. Utilization metrics. But very few organizations measure trustworthiness, integrity, and team impact with the same rigor. So we end up unintentionally bonusing toxicity. In the short term, performance looks great. In the long term, culture erodes. Teams disengage. Organizations fracture. Even in a world increasingly powered by AI, automation, and algorithms, the systems we build still serve people. Which means the organizations that will win long term are not just optimizing for performance. They are building teams rooted in trust, respect, and character. Because in the end, performance may win quarters. Trust wins decades. #Leadership #OrganizationalCulture #TrustInLeadership #TeamBuilding #FutureOfWork #LeadershipMatters #BusinessStrategy #HighPerformanceTeams

No Bench. No Backup. No Plan. I was on a call with a Director of Mainframe Services this week. They’re looking for a z/OS Systems Programmer. He told me their current Sys Prog is retiring in six to eight months. They’ve already been searching for a replacement for three. HR has sent candidates, but none with the depth they need. And with every week that passes, the runway for knowledge transfer gets shorter. So I asked him: “Do you have any junior or mid-level Sys Progs who could be trained up?” No. They run very thin. No bench. No backup. Then I asked: “Does HR ever partner with outside recruiters for roles like this?” “No,” he said. The company believes their internal recruiter can handle it. I see this all the time. Internal HR teams are smart, capable, and hardworking. But mainframe recruiting requires deep specialization, you have to understand the ecosystem, the behaviors, the career paths, and the tiny nuances that separate a “solid candidate” from someone who can truly step into a mission-critical role. So I asked him one last question: “What happens if HR can’t find someone before your Sys Prog retires?” He said they’d probably have to bring in a consultant just to keep things running until they can find the right person. Here’s the thing: Most companies wait until it’s almost too late. Not because they’re careless, but because they believe the search will be simple. Mainframe searches are not simple. If you’re struggling to find the z/OS or mainframe support your organization needs, reach out. This is the work I’ve done for 25+ years. I know the talent, the skill sets, the market, and the “purple squirrels” most teams never see. If your internal team is stuck, I can help you get unstuck. Let’s talk. #Mainframe #IBM #ZOS #CICS #DB2 #Headhunter

This is where many systems quietly break. The real distinction isn’t Record vs DTO. It’s truth vs state. Records work when you’re expressing facts: – snapshots – events – messages that must never be rewritten DTOs belong to process: – transitions – workflows – human-driven change Problems start when: mutable objects are used to represent truth, or immutable objects are forced to carry evolving responsibility That’s how auditability disappears. In the 3E Method: Records = auditable truth containers DTOs = controlled state carriers This isn’t about what’s cleaner or cooler. It’s about whether your model preserves clarity, traceability, and accountability at scale. When design choices ignore that, bugs become systemic — not technical. That’s when architecture stops being style and starts being risk. #3EMethod #3ECertified #SoftwareArchitecture #SystemDesign

“I’ll just handle it myself.” It sounds efficient. It feels productive. But often, this instinct is rooted not in helpfulness, but in fear and insecurity. I catch myself doing this at home with my spouse and kids. I tell myself I’m just being efficient, but under the surface, the real reasons are often: Fear that the task won’t be done the way I want. Desire to be seen as the world’s greatest husband or father. But here’s the cost: By doing everything myself, I rob others of the opportunity to grow, contribute, and succeed. Take my kids, for example. Sure, I could clean the kitchen or fix the thing faster on my own. But if I always step in, they never get the chance to practice those skills. I can guide them, support them, and encourage them, but they need the space to try, stumble, and improve. This isn’t just a parenting insight. It’s a leadership one. At work, we fall into the same trap. We withhold delegation. We swoop in to fix things. We don’t always trust our teammates to do it "right." But in doing so, we stifle their growth and limit our own capacity as leaders. Great teams don’t emerge from one person doing everything. They thrive when ownership is shared, trust is extended, and success is celebrated together. Have you ever realized that doing it all yourself was holding others back? What helped you shift?

I’ve noticed an interesting paradigm in my professional career that I’m trying to articulate and come to terms with. There are generally two camps when it comes to professional communication. Some folks expect requesters to perform due diligence, e.g. reread the message before sending, proofread, get the facts correct. It’s a form of respect for the recipient’s time. Other folks accept the imperfections of the world and roll with the punches. Someone called you the wrong name? Whatever. Typos in the request? You get the gist. Clearly AI generated message? Fine. Move on. I suppose both are reasonable philosophies, though I personally fall into the former camp. But I’ve noticed that when you reach a certain level in your career, you get to have your cake and eat it too. You can send off a half-formed email/Slack, make mistakes that a single reread would have caught, copy-and-paste AI slop or allow an AI agent to write autonomously for you, while also having the privilege to be hypercritical when someone below your status does the exact same thing. Hierarchy can determine who owes diligence to whom. I don’t think most people are even aware of this communication subtext and that is what makes it worth pondering… Have you noticed this pattern? Which camp do you fall into?

A lot of operational inefficiency comes from processes that should’ve been retired years ago. Temporary workarounds become permanent. Extra validation steps pile up. People adapt to the friction instead of fixing it. Then everyone wonders why things feel slow and overcomplicated. Most environments don’t need more process. They need cleanup.

I saved a client down under over $1,000/year last month, and all I did was move their domains to a different registrar. They had a couple dozen .com domains at one of the big legacy registrars, paying ~$63 AUD per domain per year. The new registrar charges ~$15 AUD. Same domains, same DNS, same everything. About half of what they were paying was for "Full Domain Privacy and Protection," which is a fancy name for something that's been included for free at every major registrar since 2018. After GDPR hit, ICANN required all gTLD registrars to redact personal info from WHOIS records by default. Your name, email, address, phone... already hidden. The modern registrars just include this at no charge because that's the baseline now, while the legacy ones still charge $20-30/year for it because nobody's questioned the invoice. And "Protection"? That's transfer lock and auto-renew, both of which are free standard features everywhere. They just bundled free defaults under a name that sounds too important to uncheck. Remember when registrars charged $50-100/year for SSL certificates before Let's Encrypt made them free? Domain privacy is the same story, just running about five years behind. How many line items on your domain invoices are you paying for just because they've always been there?

If digital transformation fails because of misalignment resonates with you, I'd like to pose the real question: How do you know when your organization is misaligned? It often does not reveal itself during planning. Everything seems aligned in meetings, discussions over slide decks, and strategy documents. The breakdown shows up in execution: • Leadership (as we all) tend to focus on outcomes, but teams are stuck figuring out HOW to use the tools. • Technology is deployed, but adoption is inconsistent or superficial • Operations create workarounds instead of changing workflows • Training happens once, but behavior never really changes At that point, frustration gets labeled as “resistance.” But it’s rarely resistance. It’s a signal: The system makes sense in theory, but not in practice. Alignment isn’t about agreement at the top. It’s about clarity at every level of the organization. Before fixing the technology, it’s worth asking: Do people actually understand how this changes their work? That’s where transformation either starts to work—or quietly starts to fail.

The biggest IT mistake I made early in my leadership role? Assuming technical clarity equals organizational clarity. It doesn’t. The systems were documented. The tools were configured. The backups were running. But when something failed, confusion surfaced instantly: • Who decides? • Who communicates? • Who escalates? • Who informs management? Technology wasn’t the weak point. Coordination was. That experience changed how I approach IT strategy. Now I focus on clarity of ownership before complexity of tools. Question: What causes more chaos during incidents in your experience? ⬇️ Comment with: • “Technical gaps” • “Communication gaps” • “Both” #ITLeadership #CyberSecurity #DecisionMaking

Great thoughts from Ginny. Most of us grew up chasing goals: grades, promotions, titles. And that mindset served us well. But once you're established in your career, something shifts. It’s no longer about just achieving the next milestone. Now it’s about commitment: → What impact do you want to have? → What kind of leader do you want to be? → Where do you want to go, and who do you want to bring with you? Goals get you moving. Commitment shapes who you become. #Leadership #CareerGrowth #MindsetShift

Attackers have a new favorite entry point: the browser. As enterprises go cloud-first and employees spend most of their time in the browser, the old playbook no longer works. Endpoint agents can't detect threats if there’s no download, while network-layer tools can't see what renders inside the browser tab. This is why SquareX always says: the browser has become the new endpoint. And it’s exactly why browser-native attacks are on the rise—and why your defenses need to shift up.

I give long-distance lovers and change managers the same advice: Start every interaction with positive energy and intention. When you begin on the upswing of what’s right, you’re far more capable of rolling with the inevitable punches that come with what’s wrong. Whether it’s a system rollout, governance reset, platform overhaul, or cultural transformation — your steadfastness in positivity, belief, and intention makes those around you feel safe and secure. It’s easier to win if you start ahead. #Leadership #ChangeManagement #DigitalTransformation #MindsetMatters #HealthcareIT #ai #it #inspiration #motivation

This time of year is one of the few chances most of us get to properly wind down. Not check emails “just in case”. Not half-switch off. Actually stop. I’ve learned over the years that stepping away isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s part of doing the job well. If you don’t pause occasionally, everything starts to feel urgent and you lose perspective. Time away does a few simple but important things: • It reconnects you with people who matter more than work • It clears your head • It helps you come back calmer, sharper and clearer The work will still be there in January. You’ll deal with it better if you’ve taken a proper break. So, if you can, log off. Spend time with family and friends. And recharge those batteries. It’s not indulgent. It’s sensible. #leadership #consulting #WorkLifeBalance #recharge #AgileCadence

question for you folks, with regards to enhancing my attractiveness as a senior manager/leader in my field, would you think I should: A) get my PMP certification? B) get some kind of management focused AI certification? C) get an up to date certification on Cybersecurity like a CISM cert or something similar. I'm intimately familiar with all of these topics from an experience and current use perspective, any of these would just me studying on what the cert wants to hear.
