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.

Today marks the first significant rainfall in over a month here in Grass Valley. As with most places, the rain almost immediately makes the roads slick. But as the oil and dirt washes away, traction improves.
Something similar happens to trails for mountain bikers. As the rain sinks into the dirt it allows tires to grip the dirt more easily. This increases traction causing a wonderful phenomenon known as “hero dirt.” Hero dirt allows people to lean into the corners at a much greater angle than would be possible, had it not been for the rain.
Organizations all experience their version of cleansing rain. Organizational rains almost always start off as mistakes or failures. That in itself is not cleansing. It can actually be downright maddening. The cleansing happens when the organization realizes that the mistake or failure is a sign of a specific weakness. The addressing of this weakness is where the cleansing takes place.
The process requires a certain type of attitude, however. An attitude of blaming others only increases the slippery nature of the challenge, much like roads when it first begins to rain.
There is no way to learn when blame keeps shifting. There is also no way to learn when someone accepts the responsibility but refuses to acknowledge what is being taught.
When responsibility is taken and changes are made to avoid such failures in the future, the learning can sink into the organization, just like a good rain. When the lesson is accepted, the organization can gain traction in that area in ways they never would have imagined before facing failure: Hero Dirt.
What failures have you faced recently that have helped you learn?
Are there any challenges you have faced several times over? What do you think this means?
What resources do you have at your disposal that can help you learn in the face of challenges?
Have a great week!
