Here in Northern California, we have been enjoying an unusually dry and warm Spring. While the threat of impending drought is very real, it has not stopped us from enjoying the breezy afternoons. We enjoy opening up our sliding glass doors to enjoy the deck shaded by our Oaks and Pines.
Last weekend, on a breezy afternoon, a Hummingbird flew into our living room. It flew through one of the open sliding glass doors, hovered by the motionless ceiling fan and immediately tried to fly back out through the triangular window above the slider which doesn’t open.
I watched the scared little bird check the entire window, trying to figure out what kind of wizardry was keeping him from freedom. Hoping he would look elsewhere for a way out, I completely opened the sliding glass door just 2 feet beneath him.
Seeing that he wanted to stay high, I got my ladder and crept up with a small towel to try and capture him. He took evasive maneuvers, flying to the next window over. Again, I opened the sliding glass door beneath and climbed my ladder. This time, the little bird was so exhausted that he sat on the sill with no choice but to let me scoop him up. He definitely struggled and chirped his discontent, but when I had him outside and released my grip, he flew away happily.
I thought about the challenges that face the organizations I work with. Many times have they found a solution, only to be turned away by a major barrier. They adjust, trying to move toward that same solution, but to no avail. They become stuck.
We owe it to ourselves and our organizations to keep our eyes open to new ways of solving problems.
Incidentally, just outside the 2nd sliding glass door was a hummingbird feeder. Not only could the little bird have escaped with this option, he also would have found a welcome treat.
• How often do you force yourself into the same window or path that we have struggled with before, blind to the freedom that is so near?
• What are the resources available to you that may allow you to see alternatives to your normal solutions?
• What daily practices can you create that encourage more creative thinking when challenges arise?
Have a great week!

Website
Marketing is a strategic part of our business. With 50+ years in the trucking industry supplying fleet management solutions, our website and our online presence are particularly important. We needed a website design to convey a more technology leaning approach to our clients and an underlying organization to simplify the challenging world of licensing, driver & fleet compliance, and optimization.
A Great Fit – A Great Partner
Not only did we find a digital marketing company that took the time to learn our business and understand our needs, but we found a partner in WSI Cyber Smart that cares about the customer as we do. They built us an awesome new website, which they are constantly improving on, with the current focus on Search Engine Optimization to improve our visibility in Local and Organic Search. In addition, they are assisting us with our Email Marketing and ongoing Social Campaigns.

FMCSA
Due to the coronavirus, the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) permitted a waiver for renewals of interstate and intrastate CDLs (commercial driver’s licenses), CLPs (commercial learner’s permits), and medical cards. The extension was granted to professional drivers whose CDLs, permits, or medical cards had expired or set to expire after March 1, 2020. Similar waivers were continued in June, Sept, and Dec of 2020. May 31, 2021 ends the extension… just around the corner.
This is a helpful reminder that if you were due for renewal on or after March 1, 2021 you now must renew and have your CDLs, CLPs, and medical cards in place by June 1, 2021.

Team Building
Throughout our day to day activities, whether we are at work or not, we rely on our strengths to do things well. If we use the DISC as a guide, people’s strengths fall into 4 different areas: Dominance, influence, steadiness, and compliance. Granted, we are a combination of all 4 areas, but one usually rises to the surface as our key personality indicator.
Many people acknowledge that they need to do work on their weakest area. But what many people underestimate is the extent to which their strength can cause them issues. Your greatest strength can help you achieve great heights, but can also set you back on your way to achieving those heights. It can be a blessing or a curse.
I will use myself as an example. My dominant trait is an I (Influencing). My greatest strength is connecting with people. When that strength becomes a weakness, however, it means that I may seek approval from others. I have the potential to lose perspective when I need to choose integrity over connection.
Because of this, I often say that I need to keep an eye on my “I.”
The same is true for every strength. D’s can use their dominance to achieve, but can become Domineering and overbearing which slows the pace of their achievement. S’s provide Solid Steadiness, but can become incredibly Stubborn when life throws curveballs. C’s build systems so that things are done Correctly, but can suffer from “analysis paralysis” as they get lost in details.
Every strength has its dark side, just as every weakness has a silver lining.
Once we see clearly that our strengths have both a good and bad side, we gain perspective. We can begin to recognize when our strengths begin to turn against us and the people around us. Through this self-awareness, our strengths can be honed and developed into the positive force we wish them to be.
- What is your greatest strength and when do you use it most?
- What does it look like when this strength works against you?
- When your strength works against you, what type of trigger initiates this?
Have a great week!
