Over the next three days I have been dispatched by INJOY Stewardship Solutions to provide live-blogging the ReThink Leadership and Orange Conference. This has traditionally been one of my go-to events each year. I can’t wait for this year’s content and the opportunity to share it with you.
Before getting to the content, I want to further invest in you as a leader. Everyone wins when a leader gets better. That’s why I created The 2-Minute Leader Coaching Course. These 11 modules will give you the exact tools needed to grow and develop into the type of leaders your organization desperately needs.
Take your leaders through this powerful 10-part video series and see the following results:

The 2-Minute Leader Coaching Course is a great resource for equipping your team members to fulfill their unique roles and find purpose and meaning in their lives. This is priced at $37 because I want to get it into as many hands as possible. Click HERE or the image below or learn more and purchase.
Now on to the conference content:
ReThink Leadership’s first speaker of the day was Jon Acuff. Jon is the New York Times bestselling author of six books, including his most recent, Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done. For 20 years he’s helped some of the biggest brands in the world tell their stories, including The Home Depot, Bose, Staples, and the Dave Ramsey Team.
The following are 18 Leadership Quotes from his wonderful session:
Jon Acuff
- “A goal is the fastest path between where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow.”
- “Starting is fun but the future belongs to finishers.”
- “Overthinking is the most expensive things companies invest in… it steals time and energy.”
- “99.5% of people said they were overthinking.”
- “The thoughts you have become your personal playlist and become the soundtrack of your mind.”
- “Culture is a collection of soundtracks playing consistently at your organization.”
- “Great thoughts lead to actions. Great actions lead to great results.”
- “Great companies retire broken soundtracks. They replace them with new soundtracks and repeat them so often they become automatic.”
- “You have up to 60,000 thoughts per day.”
- “One of the greatest mistakes you can make is assuming all your thoughts are true. And the reason you believe they’re true is because they are coming from your most trusted voice, your’s.”
- “Preparedness always leads to action. Overthinking leads to more overthinking.”
- “Some things in life are truthful but not helpful.”
- “On great teams you can ask questions, suggest new ideas, and admit you’re wrong without being treated unkindly.”
- “You only fix the mistakes you admit.”
- “Curiosity beats criticism.”
- “If you have kids, listen for absolutes. It’s a sign for broken soundtracks.”
- “Fear tells you, ‘This is forever.'”
- “Deal with fear in the feeling stage. Otherwise, it becomes a belief and an identity.”
What a great way to open the conference! Next up is one of the reasons I came to this event. Brad Lomenick will be speaking on Top Trends In Leadership Today.
The Top 75 Leadership Quotes From 2021 Part 2 is my latest ebook. For many entering a post-pandemic environment, leadership looks completely different than the pre-pandemic world. People are more broken now. They are more uncertain. Fear and anxiousness are unwelcome constant companions. Cultures are more unhealthy. Relationships are more dysfunctional. Hope seems to be in short supply. Every day seems to bring a new hacking, natural disaster, or unexpected calamity.
Therefore, the fundamentals of leadership are more important than ever. The quotes in this book deal with the basics of leadership.
