I’ve thought about it, summed it up, and realized—it’s all of that! What is “that”? It’s the essence of what we bring to the table every day: 1) What you say—your words carry weight; 2) How you say it—tone and delivery matter more than you think; and 3) If you touch it, make it great—leave your mark so that your presence is remembered with excellence, as if you’re saying goodbye to it forever. These principles apply not just to our work but also to our personal relationships, shaping how we interact with and influence the world around us. Let’s break this down as it relates to both spheres of life.

1. What You Say: Words Have Power
In both personal and professional spaces, words can uplift or destroy. In relationships, the things we say to our partners, friends, or family members linger far beyond the moment. Are your words encouraging, or do they tear down? Similarly, at work, the way leaders and colleagues communicate can set the tone for success or disarray. Whether you’re giving feedback, sharing ideas, or offering support, choose words that inspire action and foster collaboration.
2. How You Say It: The Delivery Matters
You could say the most profound thing, but if your tone is dismissive or insincere, the message is lost. In personal relationships, a kind tone can diffuse tension, while a harsh one can spark unnecessary conflict. At work, leaders who communicate with clarity and respect create environments where people feel valued and motivated. A good delivery isn’t just about being polished; it’s about being authentic and intentional.
3. If You Touch It, Make It Great
This principle is about ownership and excellence. In relationships, if you’re involved in something—be it a family project, a conversation, or an act of support—show up fully and give it your best. Leave your contribution so impactful that it becomes a reflection of your love and commitment. At work, whether you’re leading a team, solving a problem, or contributing to a project, treat it as your legacy. Excellence isn’t about perfection; it’s about putting in the effort so your touch leaves everything better than it was.
A Unified Approach
When you live by these principles, you build trust, foster growth, and radiate positivity in all areas of life. “It’s all of that” is not just a mantra; it’s a way of being—a commitment to excellence in both words and actions. Let this perspective guide you to show up with purpose, authenticity, and care in everything you do.
Closing Thought
Remember, people may forget what you did or said, but they will always remember how you made them feel and the impression you left behind. So make it great, every single time. Because, truly—it’s all of that!
