How many meetings are too many? It’s a question I hear all the time.Most people I work with—whether in workshops, coaching calls, or leadership development sessions—tell me they attend far too many meetings. And I don’t disagree. Many organizations have defaulted to a meeting-first mindset that often sacrifices productivity for routine.But here’s the truth: The
It’s my birthday today—but that’s not really what this post is about.This moment just gave me the perfect excuse to talk about something that often goes unnoticed in the workplace: celebration.We’re pretty good at celebrating in our personal lives. In fact, the U.S. birthday party industry was worth around $10 billion in 2020. That’s right—parents
Let me ask you a question I bet you’ve never asked yourself:What can leaders learn from trees?It might sound a bit strange at first, but stick with me. Nature often has lessons for us if we’re willing to observe. And in the case of trees, those lessons are both powerful and practical.Trees Are Stable and
How patient are you with yourself?Last week, I asked you to consider how patient you are with others—a question that’s deeply important for leaders. But today, I want to turn the lens inward. Because the patience we offer others is often directly tied to the patience we show ourselves.So let me ask again: How patient
How patient are you with others?It’s a simple question—but not always a simple answer. If you’re like me, you might say, “It depends.” Sometimes I’m calm, collected, and patient. Other times? Not so much. And if we’re being honest, we can all look back at moments when we think, “I could have… should have… been
Is patience just waiting?When you think of patience, do you think of just sitting around, waiting for something to happen?A lot of people do. And while that’s part of patience, it’s not the whole story.Today, I want you to think about patience differently.Proactive PatienceWe often think patience means doing nothing. But there’s another kind of
Uncertainty. It’s everywhere.Whether it’s a shifting marketplace, changes in your organization, or even the everyday unknowns of life, we all face uncertainty — often more than we’d like. And when we do, it’s easy to feel anxious, frustrated, unsettled… even scared.If you’re a leader (and even if you’re not), these feelings can get in the
After more than 580 episodes of Remarkable TV, I found myself in a different spot—literally. For over 11 years, I’ve recorded these videos from the same studio. But today, I’m at my desk instead. Why? Because life and logistics made it necessary. But this small change sparked a big thought: When is different actually good?This
Have you ever watched a track and field race? Picture the final moments—the runners lean forward as they approach the finish line, giving every ounce of energy to reach it. They don’t slow down. They don’t jog in. They run through the tape.That image stuck with me. And it made me think—do we bring that
Last week, I reached a milestone—one that’s personally meaningful and professionally important. My latest book, Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence, was released into the world. After months of planning, writing, editing, and preparing… it’s here.But this isn’t about the book (well, not entirely). It’s about what that milestone reminded me—and what I
