I’ve asked quite a number of leaders whether there is such a thing as work life balance. Almost everyone says no without hesitation. They agree there are times we’re present, we’re grounded, we’re in sync with what matters, and we’re in the zone—feeling all the joyous personal and professional satisfaction we’re looking for. Yet, it’s as though the second we…
Don’t let yourself and your team go on autopilot. I was facilitating a session, and the leaders came in on the second day of their annual planning ready to go. What I mean is, two of them were simmering overnight – and came in disrupted and ready to challenge the rest of the leadership team. I loved it. They challenged…
The quote “live the way you want to be remembered” got my attention today. What if we all were on this page? How would my actions differ from what I’m currently doing? What would I focus on? What would it mean to those around me? What if I truly considered life as a tragedy? In the best sort of way,…
Are you a doer? Me too. The world loves a person who will bury themselves for accomplishment. We cosign the deal out of need, lack, and the vacancy in our wholeness (which doesn’t exist). Don’t bury yourself out of lack. Find another way to do only that which feeds your soul. The rest is for someone else.
Do you push yourself? Most of us don’t. I know I don’t. At least not in the domains that are challenging for me. This is why my clients who have graduated from EOS continue to have me facilitate sessions. Or they do a tune up once a year to ensure they don’t veer too far from the work we’ve done…
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.

Have you ever wished there was less tension during a work meeting? Me too; and after review, I won’t wish it away. Tension is related to conflict and conflict creates clarity. While it may be uncomfortable, that tension is what transforms a problem into an opportunity. It’s also transformative for learning. We must diverge to truly be able to converge…
Can you see yourself on the same level as those you consider “at the top” of your game? If you do, you’ll participate as if it’s the ninth inning and the game is close. The intensity and passion you will summon will be different than if you perceive yourself winning or losing by a lot. Many times, when you’re at…
Three simple rules in life: When it seems things are chaotic and challenging, how can these three rules cut through the clutter and help you move forward a little or a lot? Will you slow down to examine your thinking and imagine what’s possible?
Say exactly what you mean. There’s a concept! It’s very non-Midwestern. You won’t always be popular or please people, but you will be clear. You’ll also find the world around you (people, opportunities, events and rewards) will amplify. Too often, when trying to please others or deliver the message you think others want to hear instead of saying exactly what…
