A strong ride-along doesn’t always lead to a changed next call.

The feedback was remembered. The behavior did not change.

In this new Bonus Focus article, Alex Tkachenko explores the gap between coaching and application, and how small shifts can help one coaching point carry into the next relevant field conversation.

The goal isn’t more feedback. It’s better carryover.

Check out the four shifts that help coaching hold.

September is Self Improvement Month.

Improvement doesn’t always have to mean doing more.

It can be discovering something that interests you, spending time with people who energize you, getting back to something you enjoy, or simply appreciating how far you’ve already come.

Here’s to a September filled with curiosity, connection, and whatever growth looks like for you.

Many of us assume that staying busy and moving throughout the day is all we need. While everyday activity is important, maintaining strength, mobility, and resilience requires a more intentional approach.

Strength isn’t just about fitness. It helps us stay independent, confident, and capable throughout life.

Do you stay active? But what if that isn’t enough?

We often assume that staying busy and moving throughout the day is all we need to stay healthy as we age. While everyday activity matters, maintaining strength, mobility, and resilience requires a more intentional approach.

Chris Platanos explores why strength training matters, how it supports healthy aging, and the practical habits that can help you stay strong for years to come.

As we wrap up the week, here’s a question to reflect on:

What is one habit you’ll prioritize this weekend to invest in your long-term wellbeing?

Have you read Alison Fragale’s Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve?

In our latest Book Briefs, Emily Dauer, shares insights from Likeable Badass, a book that challenges the idea that you have to choose between being kind and being confident.

Drawing on behavioral science and practical workplace strategies, Fragale argues that lasting influence comes from balancing warmth with assertiveness. She explores the difference between power and status, explains why respect creates stronger influence than authority alone, and offers practical ways to communicate your value while staying authentic.

Whether you’re leading a training initiative, mentoring others, or building credibility across your organization, influence isn’t about dominating the conversation. It’s about earning trust, communicating with confidence, and helping others succeed.
