Transformation Tuesday: Keep your team moving forward

September 6, 2016 By Lynn Varacalli Cavanaugh

Use the right motivational quote and you can power your team through a tough week or a seemingly-impossible situation. 

After all, the right words at the right time can give everyone the boost they need to get back on the right track.

Exposing employees to quotes like the ones below have the power to readjust the thought process and keep everyone moving toward success. Share these quotes the next time you want to increase productivity – and morale.

 “Either you run the day or the day runs you.” – Jim Rohn

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle

About Lynn Varacalli Cavanaugh

“An important attribute of success is to be yourself. Never hide what makes you, you." -- Indra Nooyi, Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo

As editor-in-chief of Woman’s Own and American Woman magazines, I have championed the personal and professional development of women for years. I started my career unsure of my own path and abilities, but I always had a natural curiosity and an interest in words and writing. When selected to launch American Woman as editor-in-chief, after a string of editorial jobs, I was thrilled—and terrified at being responsible for a brand new venture. All I could do was my best, based on my instincts and years of experience. American Woman was a success, offering me things I hadn’t achieved before—the confidence to do public speaking and a journalism award (Exceptional Merit Media award from the National Women’s Political Caucus & Radcliffe College). I hope my insights, now as an editor for Progressive Women’s Leadership, will help you on your own journey to career success.
