We’re nearly halfway through September—which means we’re running toward the last quarter of the year. And Q4 can fly by faster than most when filled with end of year projects, deadlines and holiday time off. So instead of just surviving the end of the year, why don’t you intentionally plan for it? We often kick off each calendar year with vision, purpose and new resolutions—but why not finish the year with just as much excitement?

If you’re looking for a way to align your team around a shared purpose for the end of the year, then one of our team workshops is a great solution for you. Plus, by pulling up and away from the daily demands of work, you’ll communicate to your team that you care about investing in them. In this article, we’ll cover the four key components of our team workshops so that you can see how we help teams like yours rally together to finish the year strong.

Resources can often feel finite and limited. And sometimes they are. That’s why stewardship is important in leadership. But often during times of economic uncertainty, it can feel safest to restrict spending and limit growth. And sometimes that’s exactly the right move. But what happens when that type of thinking becomes your norm? When it’s no longer a season of limits, but a lifestyle? Well, that’s when you’re headed toward a scarcity mindset.

In this article, we’ll break down what it can look like to live and lead with a mindset of abundance versus one of scarcity. And you can decide for yourself—which one looks like an easier way to live?

Have you ever been in a conversation either personally or professionally when you realize that it’s no longer a dialogue, but a debate that you didn’t sign up for? It can be easy to want to run from such conversations, or depending on your personality style, it may be easy to respond emotionally (and regrettably). Regardless, it’s never fun when you recognize that someone is no longer participating in an exchange of ideas, but intent on “winning” a conversation.

However, as a leader, you have a responsibility to share your opinions and perspective while maintaining curiosity and showing respect to others—even (and especially) when they aren’t showing respect back. That is leading yourself really well. In this article, we’ll address how to disagree well and lead a debate back to a healthy dialogue.

Forbes recently published an article highlighting the women on their 50 over 50 list and I loved the title: “The Age of Disruption.” Not only because both women and the age of 50 are being celebrated but because disruption is often seen as a negative, yet in this article it’s viewed as a positive.

So how do we begin seeing the good in disruptors? How do we become unafraid of disruption and instead embrace it? Well, you’ve got to lead it, not let it lead you. And I have three recommendations for you to practice to begin viewing disruption as positive.

What makes for a healthy and happy life? Depending on who you ask, you’ll probably get a different answer because everyone has their own idea of what health and happiness looks like for them—and, if you don’t, then culture (ahem, most likely social media) will tell you what to strive for. But what does research have to say?

Harvard Study of Adult Development shared their findings from their more than 80 years long study of people, revealing two big takeaways: the happiest people who lived long lives took care of their health and experienced close relationships.

So what does that have to do with leadership? Well, everything. Because how you lead yourself matters. And whether you intend it to or not, your well-being impacts those around you—and it clearly affects the health and happiness of your lifespan.

In this article, we offer coaching tips for you on how to pursue physical health, grow in your most important relationships and manage the balance needed in your career so that you can increase your well-being and live the healthiest and happiest life that you can!

It can feel impossible to do it all, everything we say we want to and feel we should do. And with the hustle culture language subliminally embedded in our psyche, it’s normal to become overwhelmed and discouraged when we miss a deadline or fail to achieve a goal. But with 24 hours in a day, we can control more than we might realize. The solution isn’t to get as much done in as little time as possible (that can result in sloppy deliverables or lead you toward burnout), but instead to get the right things done in the time that you do have—focusing your attention on the goals and projects that you’ve identified as most important in your life and leadership.

In this article, we’ll break down the four key areas of our Focus Plan so that you can spend your time on the things that you say are important. Plus, our Focus Plan will help you better understand why a goal is important to you so that you can make the mindset shifts and behavior changes needed to improve both your performance and productivity.
