Gratitude: During the Thanksgiving holiday, many of us in the U.S. will be thinking about gratitude & give thanks for what we have in our lives. But, what does gratitude really mean? How do you think about gratitude? For me, gratitude is more than something we think about once a year, or more than just some cliches we write inside of a journal. Instead, it can be used as a tool to learn from our experiences & to develop deep appreciation for the things we have been through in our lives. ...

If we are able to embrace conflict & get really comfortable with being uncomfortable, we might not have to run from it or try to meet it head on. Instead, can we use it as an opportunity to learn more a...

Change: Change is uncomfortable for most people. We've all been through it. At work, in our personal lives. It's a constant.

Legacy: What is your legacy? What does a leadership legacy mean to you? How do you want to be remembered? These are all questions I ask myself in Episode #16 of the In the Lead Show.

Unconscious bias: Unconscious bias is often defined as prejudice or unsupported judgments in favor or against something or someone. I see as simply the way in which we see & experience the world around us. It's our lens. Biases as they are do not have to be a bad thing. They can help us make sense of the world and develop a better understanding of ourselves. As with anything, biases also have a shadow side and often cloud or decision making or how we choose to interact with others. Unconscio...

Well-being: What does well-being mean? Most organizations talk about it a lot & say that it is something that is important & that they take it seriously.

It includes, physical, social, emotional, intellectual & spiritual balance that creates a sense of safety and empowerment. It's not something we just talk or write about, instead something we practice ...
