I had a client session recently that prompted a great deal of concern for me. Moreover, it sparked some real frustration and inspired today's episode in which we dive into how the standard that you (as a leader) live, is the standard that you set. Too many leaders and companies believe that they can have time-off policies, and that they can say it's important to take time off without actually living that behavior. Completely false. All it does is set a culture that grinds people to dust. As a le...

Today, I'm exploring what happens when crisis turns into status quo. I go through Colonel Boyd's famous OODA loop, a tool used by military leaders to help people adapt to changing conditions more quickly. I also explore the normalizing effect and how to move forward despite the inertia and weight of the new normal. How can you operate from a place that concurrently accepts that circumstances have changed while still engaging in improving the situation, all while holding back judgment, blame, gui...

The cave you fear to enter contains the treasure you seek. This line has often been attributed to professor Joseph Campbell. Today we take a look at what holds us back from attaining that which we want. Namely, why so many executives and leaders refuse to connect to and speak from their hearts. Before the scoffing begins, recognize that too many leaders are limiting their ability to inspire and genuinely connect with their teams because of a misguided fear that speaking from one's heart is not f...
