Trish Kendall, an expert on creating enduring success and an international keynote speaker, unearths the inspirational stories of her guests as they share their journeys to enduring success with us.
If you ask her, Trish will tell you she has become the most successful person she knows. She is proud of her career, is a trusting and trusted member of her community, and is a loving wife and devoted mother of two children. All simple measures, but far more than she ever thought she would have.
Her childhood was tortured by relentless sexual abuse, neglect, and ultimately, a crystal meth addiction that led to her near suicide at 20 years old.
But Trish climbed from the pit of despair and summited the peak of success—enduring success—by making five critical choices.
Today, she inspires others to achieve enduring success and provides a pathway there for all.
In this Choose & Become series, Trish and her guests share their insights, lessons, and wisdom as it relates to these five choices on their journeys to creating enduring success.

Trish Kendall Speaks Episode 132 - Messages of Mattering
About this Episode:
There’s a difference between thanking someone for what they did and telling them how they matter.
I recently ordered a book I’d been wanting to read, Messages of Mattering: The Grace Note Method for Cultivating Meaning, Connection, and Impact by @Andrea Driessen.
I ordered it because I was preparing for a client who wanted their leadership team to focus on expressing appreciation, and I knew I would get some nuggets and inspiration from Andrea.
Well, I read the whole book on a flight back to Boson. I think it took me an hour! And it gave me so much inspiration and ideas. I appreciated her book so much that I bought another copy as a special gift of gratitude for my client!
Andrea’s “Grace Notes,” method is about expressing our appreciation—not simply for what someone has done, but for who they are.
There’s a difference between:
Thank you for what you did.
and
I want you to know how you matter to me.
When was the last time you told someone not just that you appreciated something they did, but how they matter to you?

Be Curious, Not Furious
Curiosity can be a superpower. It allows us to maintain trusted relationships while working through challenging situations together and to approach the inevitable complexities in our relationships with love and understanding.
Most of all, curiosity gives us the opportunity to make a choice about how we will respond to life’s challenges.

Listening agility is a skill.
And like every skill, it requires practice.
When you're in a conversation, notice where your attention goes. Are you fully present with the other person? Or are you already thinking about your response, your opinion, or how you would solve the problem?
Listening with agility is an intentional choice.
