Overwhelmed or Grateful? #182

by Sue Hawkes

Overwhelmed or Grateful? #182 What I’ve noticed is my life never really slows down. I’ve lived in the illusion that most of my world will correct itself once I get “this” or “that” happens. It could be an event, a series of events, a project, a set of tasks, a string of travel, family events, the holidays, or celebrations. It…

Don’t Wait #181

by Sue Hawkes

Don’t Wait #181 If you want something, do you wait for it? I don’t. In my twenties, when I wanted a job, I met with the owners of a small training company and expressed my interest in working for them. They told me they couldn’t afford to hire any employees at the time. Though I was disappointed, I began to…

An Experiment #180

by Sue Hawkes

An Experiment #180 Imagine a day (or more) without your phone. What’s your first reaction to that suggestion? If it’s a strong, negative reaction, know that you’re addicted. When I work with teams, I ask for a device-free environment. It’s not always popular. However, it does create an environment for maximized success. Try it. See if you can forgo your…

Where Is The Music? #179

by Sue Hawkes

Where Is The Music? #179 Recently, I was reminded of a great quote commonly attributed to Miles Davis. The quote states, “the music is in the space between the notes.” But the quote is from Claude Debussy. Space affords us the opportunity to witness beauty. Have you ever seen the moon rise? It’s an incredible experience when you can sit…

Space To Be #178

by Sue Hawkes

Space To Be #178 Recently, I was leading a retreat at an all-inclusive location. It was amazing, and because everything was taken care of,  it left us all to do one thing – take care of ourselves. For most leaders, that is a foreign experience. Simple things like sleep, the healthy foods which were abundantly provided, the non-digital environment which…

Love What you Do #177

by Sue Hawkes

Love What you Do #177 What can I do to change, improve, impact, and engage others? It’s a big question. Do you wake up wondering how you can maximize your impact on yourself, your team at work, your company, your community, perhaps even the world? If not, why? What if 50% of your job was to do your job impeccably.…

What Are You Pretending Not to Know? #176

by Sue Hawkes

What Are You Pretending Not to Know? #176 What’s your job? It’s a vocation, a way to make money, an expression of your identity, an extension of your talents, an inroad to community and a source of pride. It can be exhilarating, challenging, exhausting, exciting, fulfilling and excruciating. It can be a source of all things to fill your ego…

Change = Growth #175

by Sue Hawkes

Change = Growth #175 Change can be hard. It requires letting go of what was while embracing what is possible and improved. Too often, our thinking is skewed to keeping things as is – especially if we believe it’s working for us. Our fixed thinking is what makes it hard, not the change itself. Change doesn’t have to be hard.…

Shattering Illusions and Lowering The Bar #173

by Sue Hawkes

Shattering Illusions and Lowering The Bar #173 Have you ever thought about the time when you decided there was a “right” way to live? Oh, we’ve all done it. It is easy to fall into the trap of comparing our lives to the lives of others. But where does that leave us? Diminished and discounted on both sides. We all…
