120: Our Process: An Ongoing Co-Creation
There’s a formula for how things are done. At least that’s what we’re told, what we believe. If we just learn, and follow, the ‘right’ formula, we’ll be successful. So we try. We spend our time and money on the next quick fix, the next sure-fire thing, the next “10...
119: Burdens to Blessings
We’re not meant to do it all. Yet society tells us the opposite. Throughout school we’re expected to do well in all subjects and to work harder where we are weak. At work, the expectation is the same - be good at all aspects, dig in where we’re weak. This...
118: All-In AND Completely Detached
As leaders we’re expected to be “all-in”, that’s the minimum, so what does that mean in today’s culture and what about the cost(s)? Based on quiet quitting and the proliferation of help wanted signs, the business pendulum seems to be swinging in the opposite...
117: Using Complaining as Opportunity
We all do it. It happens in our heads, it happens at work, it happens at home. Most of the time we don’t even notice we’re doing it. Is it hardwired into us? It’s not something we WANT to do, especially as leaders, yet it’s pervasive. What if it was...
116: When Life Goes Sideways
Have you ever had one of those days, or even weeks where everything goes sideways? You have a plan, you are working your plan and someone drops a ball - the babysitter is late, the meeting gets pushed back, or your account gets hacked. Your carefully laid plan is in...
115: Hustle Culture: The Never Ending Consumption Binge
Our ‘more is never enough’ culture has taken its toll. Personally we are in debt, worn out, overworked and mentally and physically ill. As a culture, ‘quiet quitting’ is rampant, businesses are closing and people are more and more disconnected and polarized. This is...
114: Intentional Leadership: Shaping Future Generations w/Barbara Miller (& Zeffy)
How do you balance opposites? Especially as a leader. A challenge comes up and it gets polarized. It becomes one of two things, 'push through', or ‘it’s not meant to be’. How do we find the ‘in-between’? Barbara Miller walks that path both personally and as a leader....
113: ‘Being the Change’ as a Leader
We want something to happen “out there”, in the world. We want to change another, we want to change our circumstances (partner, job, finances, etc.), so we get busy DOING - fixing, forcing and making something happen in the world - and it rarely works and often...
112: Trust and Flow
We’ve all had those moments in our lives when everything feels ‘right’, we are totally engrossed in what we are doing and completely in sync with life - it’s magical. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls this the flow state, the optimal experience in life. Our challenge is...
Leadership that Blooms: Nature’s Metaphor
We all want to be accepted, to be included and to feel safe. We most often find that security and belonging with people who are like us. It’s where we’re comfortable and it’s easy to be ourselves. The challenge, especially for leaders, is that this creates a...
