When I began writing 1,000 blogs, I never imagined one of the most incredible outcomes from this journey would be capturing my thoughts throughout a pandemic. As I anticipate the completion of this goal, I’m getting excited about reviewing my musings over the course of nearly four years, especially with the crazy path we’ve been on during this time. I’ve…
The clearer you get, the easier it is. When you’re clear, you know what to say YESS! and no to. It’s not grey, it’s black and white. And the funny thing is, the more you say no to, the more opportunities attract to you. In abundance. There’s no scarcity when you can say no. It’s clean, clear, and freeing. You…
A few months ago, I attended a number of conferences as I have many spring times prior. Most often, it’s exhilarating, and my love of learning is replenished. It was different this year. It’s been disruptive and difficult. This is always the precursor to significant change for me. When it’s time, life as usual no longer makes sense. The disruption…
When we meet new clients, we find there is common pain they’re experiencing. Most are seeking greater accountability, ownership, and collaboration for the greater good. They are willing to exchange autonomy and purpose for that return. In order to navigate the emerging challenges and current chaos in our spaces, we must proceed with clarity. Clarity of purpose, expectations, and communication. …
We all struggle with difficult conversations. When you’re facing the prospect of letting someone go, it brings all of your humanity to the surface if there isn’t some kind of clear wrongdoing. We must face these situations with open minds and open hearts as well as the firmness and commitment to the greater good of our teams in mind. We…
One of my new endeavors has been to lead the Rocket Fuel Master Class and Integrator Mastery Forum. As I think of the significant benefits to my own learning and development, one of the most immediate is to be in a room with high performing leaders. I’ve had a similar journey with the Implementors; the difference with Integrators is they…
Thank you for playing along, this is the summary blog I write every 50 posts sharing my lessons while writing a blog every day in my journey to 1,000. This began when I accepted Seth Godin’s challenge from this blog post. Again, certain random numbers matter more to me. 90% is a milestone that means I can see and feel the…
In the quiet still of the morning, everything seems possible. Hope is visceral, the day is new again. Peace envelops you. Within the stillness, the birds converse, the sun greets you, and the sparkling water dances with joy. When you unplug from the busyness, there is only space. When you pause, breathe, and embrace the day within this moment, the…
Are you tired of how hard things feel? Does it seem like work is changing again? It appears things are chaotic for many. There is a rise in unrest (again), uncertainty surrounding us, and it feels like an abrupt intersection with the relaxed pace of summer. Many people are talking about the whiplash they’re feeling returning from vacation as the pace…
I knew the minute he suggested it, I needed to do it, but I was afraid and unready. Shortly after I became an EOS Implementer, Gino Wickman told me he didn’t email. It was a great idea conceptually, but how would I ever do that. As the years have passed, and I’ve witnessed how he does it, the nagging idea…
