Unlock the Future of Leadership—Join Me on an Unmatched Journey, Reserved for a Select Few!

Last month, I was honored to receive the Excellence in Teaching Award from the American College of Financial Services. Today, I proudly earned the Certified Professional Business Leader (CPBL) designation with the Professional Business Coaches Alliance (PBCA). This intensive, three-module program is designed to elevate leaders like you, equipping you with the practical tools and strategic vision to drive transformative change.
Voting is Tremendous: Standing Up for Values in Every Election

Voting is Tremendous: Standing Up for Values in Every Election

Tracey Jones
Missional alignment is key to building trust in any leader. The media often tries to steer us toward strong opinions, sometimes even disdain for particular candidates. But that approach is shortsighted and, quite honestly, it’s idiotic. Let’s move beyond media-driven negativity and remember the wise words of George MacDonald: “To be trusted is a higher compliment than to be loved.” In voting, we’re not looking for a candidate we’d want to hang out with on the weekend. We’re looking for leaders we can trust based on their values—not their personalities or public personas shaped by others. Knowing a leader’s true values gives us the confidence to trust them, no matter what anyone else says.
The Watchman's Call: Reclaiming Our Voice in Business and Family

The Watchman's Call: Reclaiming Our Voice in Business and Family

Tracey Jones
In business, being a Watchman means more than just managing day-to-day operations. It's about staying alert to potential threats to your organization's values, culture, and long-term health. Perhaps you're on a board, and you sense something amiss during a meeting. It may be a proposal that sounds financially lucrative but cuts ethical corners. Or it could be a shift in company culture that compromises integrity for expedience. Do you speak up when your spirit is pricked, and your conscience stirs? If you choose silence, you jeopardize your organization and risk the fallout of personal accountability.
The Most Tremendous Transition of All

The Most Tremendous Transition of All

Tracey Jones
Today, we often avoid death, preferring clinical detachment. Yet the wisdom of the Greeks reminds us that when we allow death to reclaim its place in the circle of life, we gain a fuller understanding of our existence. Embracing death can lead us to live with greater purpose, gratitude, and connection to life's rhythms.
Unleashing the Tremendous Power of Teaching

Unleashing the Tremendous Power of Teaching

Tracey Jones
Over the years, I realized that experience alone has its limits. Responding to the world around us is powerful, but it only gets us so far. That realization propelled me into a doctoral program, where I learned, unlearned, and relearned for four intense years. I wanted to complement my practical experience with a foundation in theory. It was there that I truly understood that, sometimes, we have to be taught and not just caught.
Prioritizing Humanity or Inhumanity?

Prioritizing Humanity or Inhumanity?

Tracey Jones
As I was celebrating the return of Mike's wallet, Messenger hit me with an unexpected blow—my Facebook account was suspended. A notification popped up on my phone stating that I had violated their policies. I knew this wasn't true. Someone had hacked my account, and just like that, I was blocked and erased. There was no warning, no explanation, and no way to reach a human for support. It was as if I never existed.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, critical thinking has become essential for professionals across all fields. Making sound decisions, solving problems effectively, and navigating complex challenges are crucial for driving success and staying competitive.
Ethics: Character Before Culture

Ethics: Character Before Culture

Tracey Jones
Just as the Ten Commandments emerged carved in stone, an organization's values must also be set in an unshakable foundation. Without these guiding principles, any attempt at fostering an ethical culture becomes like building on shifting sands. These values are the cornerstone and nothing meaningful can be built without them.
Retention: The Million Dollar Question

Retention: The Million Dollar Question

Tracey Jones
We can only get it right with the right people; retention is about keeping them. Why do people keep showing up for work after they've decided to join your organization? Kevin's question struck at the heart of what we all need to consider: Employees come to work for one of two reasons—to transact or to transform. They are there for a paycheck, or they are there for a payback, to grow and make an impact, to evolve themselves or the enterprise.
Persistence: The Key to Unyielding Success

Persistence: The Key to Unyielding Success

Tracey Jones

In the face of adversity, the ability to persist distinguishes those who merely dream from those who achieve. Persistence is the cornerstone of enduring success and is vital to effective leadership. As my father, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, wisely referred to it as STICKABILITY. Here's what he said:

"Stick by it, die by it, never give up. We need to burn the word "stackability" into our hearts. A plague is sweeping the world, reaching epidemic proportions. It's better known as the Quitters Disease. 

Don't Forget the Ship in Leadership

Don't Forget the Ship in Leadership

Tracey Jones
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Annapolis and sailing on a friend's 42-foot yacht. As we glided across the bay to the Academy, I couldn't stop thinking about "putting wind in others' sails." There are various types of boats and vessels, each representing different types of employees and the leadership they require.
The Heat of Preparation: Resilience in the Face of Adversity

The Heat of Preparation: Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Tracey Jones
Watching the events unfold in Butler, PA, this past week, I was struck by the crowd's reaction to the assassin's shots. Rather than panic, the crowd remained noticeably still, allowing those nearest to the injured to call for help and clear the way for the President's safe exit. It wasn't a scene of chaos; it was a testament to calmness under pressure.

Celebrating Independence Day: A Tribute to Our Greek Roots

Celebrating Independence Day: A Tribute to Our Greek Roots

Tracey Jones
Athens, often hailed as the birthplace of democracy, introduced concepts that resonate deeply with our own governance. The Athenian democracy, characterized by the direct participation of citizens in political decision-making, laid the groundwork for the representative democracy we cherish today. Our Founding Fathers, keen students of history, drew inspiration from these ancient practices. For example, the idea of a system of checks and balances, crucial to our Constitution, can trace its roots back to the mixed government model of the Greeks, who balanced power among different branches to prevent tyranny.

Escalate, Chunk, Connect: The Tremendous Way to Tackle Problems

Tracey Jones
A tremendous life is not devoid of problems. My father, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, would quip, "Of course you've got problems; you're not dead!" Personal development legend Dr. Norman Vincent Peale maintained that the more problems you have, the more alive you are. Pain is mandatory; suffering is not. So, allow me to share some tremendous tips and tools to help you deal with your life's issues, challenges, and bad habits.
