111 #14 – When Did We Forget?

Published on March 7, 2019 Written by Sue Hawkes

#14 When Did We Forget? In several discussions in the past year, many people have disclosed their life seems to be happening to them, rather than their life occurring more by design. For most of these leaders, it’s a product of over-committing and adding all kinds of priorities without re-calibrating their lives. How often should… View Article

Published on March 6, 2019 Written by Sue Hawkes

#13 – Creatures of Habit Most of us are creatures of habit. Beyond our twenties, we don’t make the time often enough to step back and assess how closely the life we’re living aligns with the life we imagine we should, would or could be living. Some questions to consider if you’re wondering: When is… View Article

111 #12 – Mistaking More for Better

Published on March 5, 2019 Written by Sue Hawkes

#12 – Mistaking More for Better When working with leadership teams, I’m often a broken record saying “less is more” and “do less better.” In the beginning of our work together, teams rarely heed this advice.

Published on March 1, 2019 Written by Sue Hawkes

#10 Urgency vs. Desperation Urgency and desperation; they can appear so similar we confuse them when the stakes are high and timelines are short, yet they are very different. Perhaps they are cousins from the same family, one on the abundance side and one on the scarce side. Urgency breeds innovation, disruption and intentional immediacy…. View Article

#9 Choosing Your Ride “I’m afraid of what might happen…” Really, do you like roller coasters? I’ve asked people this question for years when they talk about being afraid to do something. Some people love roller coasters and some people are scared of roller coasters and would rather do anything than ride on one; rarely… View Article

111 #8 – Patience

Published on February 27, 2019 Written by Sue Hawkes

#8 Patience Patience is a virtue most people I know sincerely struggle with. It’s something results oriented, fast-paced, get it done, “I’m filling my calendar to the max” people find hard to conceive of. And yet it’s the place where a majority of the “good stuff” in life finds you. When you’re not pushing, hustling,… View Article

111 #7 – Playing to WIN

Published on February 25, 2019 Written by Sue Hawkes

#7 Playing to WIN In blog #3, Playing Not to Lose, I showed a diagram about how people “play” in the game of life. I explained that what’s most impactful about the model for me is that very few people ever play to “WIN.” Most of us “play not to lose.” It’s safer there. And… View Article
