The Power of the Right Question

Grab your journal because what I'm about to share could completely change the trajectory of your life in five steps.

This is our final core session - Session #6 on INFLUENCE - and it connects directly to step number two of my 5 Step Clarity Blueprint: "Clarify Your Social Interactions."

But first, let me tell you about a weekend that reminded me why influence matters so much.

The Ultra Experience

Last weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona, I attended my business group called Ultra. It was tiring, but incredibly refreshing because I was surrounded by people who want to do better in life.

There's something powerful about interacting with people who want to improve, grow, and exceed their current limitations. It lifts up your game too. That's the essence of influence - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting more. If you want more, become more.

This experience reinforced why it's so important to collaborate with people who want to g...

The Problem with Giving 100%

Here's something that might surprise you: giving 100% isn't always the answer.

If you're giving 100% but you're burned out, irritable, frazzled, and depleted, that's not a healthy way to move forward. But if you're paced, poised, peace-centered, and giving 60% while maintaining your health and well-being - that's exactly what we want.

This is the foundation of true high performance: clarity with intentionality .

A Challenge from the Top

Recently, I was on a call with Lewis Howes and Brendon Burchard - two of the most respected voices in high performance. They were discussing clarity, and Brendon issued a powerful challenge that I want to pass on to you:

Write this down: "My depletion era is over."

Get out your journal right now. Write those words. Because what we're about to dive into will help you create immediate, behavior-driven clar...

Watch Dr. Howard Dennis discuss the three critical areas that determine your success and fulfillment.

When Life Throws You a Curveball

We've all had those moments when life catches us off guard. Maybe it's a challenging day at work, an unexpected setback, or simply feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities. In those moments, we realize something profound: we weren't prepared for that particular challenge. We couldn't handle the "punch in the gut" because we hadn't built the right foundation.

This is exactly what happens to all of us when we're not intentional about our focal points.

The Three Pillars That Determine Everything

In my certified high performance coaching program, the very first session we dive into is called "Focal Points." It's designed to assess three critical areas that determine whether you'll thrive or just survive:

1. Focus – Where Your Attention Goes

2. Agency – How Much Control You Feel

3. Habits – What's Moving You Forward or Holding You Ba...

THIS LABOR DAY! 

 COMING THIS LABOR DAY! 

Okay, I'm about to ask you something that might make you squirm a little (in a good way).

Ready? Here's the statement I want you to think about:

"I care for myself well. I'm kind to myself and mindful of consistent self-care. I feel cared for by others. People are kind to me and make me feel cared for and appreciated. I also deeply care for others, and I demonstrate it regularly by expressing my appreciation."

Now... on a scale of 1-10, how much do you agree with that?

Be honest. No judgment here.

Here's what I really want to know:

• What score did you give yourself?

• Why that number?

• If it's lower than you'd like - what's holding you back?

• If it's high - what are you doing right? (Celebrate those wins!)

The thing is... caring is a three-way street:

How you care for YOURSELF

How you let others care for YOU

How you care for OTHERS

And honestly? Most of us are stronger in one area than the others.

This isn't about perfection - it's about awareness. Where are you thriv...

Here's what I've learned after 30+ years:

Whether I'm coaching someone or treating a patient in my chiropractic office, the moment they feel like I genuinely CARE about them, That's when the magic happens.

You know that feeling when someone really "gets" you? When you feel truly heard and understood? That's what I'm talking about. That's when people know they matter to you.

And honestly?

This stuff matters to me because connection is everything. I'm genuinely curious about what's going on in people's lives. I want to serve at the highest level possible - and I know you do too.

In this video, we dive into:

• Why caring isn't just "nice" - it's essential for High Performance

• How being present changes everything

• The connection between curiosity and genuine service

• Why "feeling felt" builds unbreakable bonds

Look, if you're in any kind of service role (and let's be honest, we all are), this conversation is for you.

How to Live with More Integrity: A Blueprint for Congruent Living

By Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach

Introduction: The Foundation of Authentic Success

What does it mean to live with true integrity? How do you align your daily actions with your deepest values? These aren't just philosophical questions - they're practical challenges that determine whether you'll experience genuine fulfillment or spend your life feeling like something's missing.

Today, I want to talk about congruence - the feeling we experience when we're living in complete alignment and integrity with our beliefs and values. More importantly, I want to share practical advice on how to achieve this alignment in your own life.

Understanding Congruence: More Than Just "Being Good"

Congruence isn't about moral perfection or following someone else's rulebook. It's about the internal harmony you feel when your actions, decisions, and daily choices reflect who you truly want to be.

Think of congruence...
