111 #12 – Mistaking More for Better

Published on March 5, 2019 Written by

#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 4, 2019 Written by

Published on March 1, 2019 Written by

#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.

#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.

Published on February 27, 2019 Written by

#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

Published on February 25, 2019 Written by

#6 – Reactions Don’t Lie Whenever I find myself triggered by an event, I know there’s learning available to me.

111 #4 – F.E.A.R.

Published on February 21, 2019 Written by

#4 – F.E.A.R. It is a four letter word, and feels like one most of the time. It can dismantle the best of intentions, and ruin a perfectly good idea or day. When we lose track of the present, we can move into a state of worry, anxiety or fear about the future. We can… View Article
