I’ve spent nearly three decades in the sports broadcasting game. During that time, I’ve witnessed the evolution of so much: stadiums, team names…even the game of baseball itself. Some changes have been for the better, others not so much. But despite the ebbs and flows of progress, one area that continues to improve is a level of self-awareness in leadership that didn’t previously exist.

Change and mindset go hand in hand. As humans, we crave the feelings of security that comes from routine, even if change is the key to our own growth. But the truth is…change is hard. Framing it correctly makes coping easier.
