If it’s really important to you, commit to show up. For years (decades!), I said I wanted to do more strength training. And I didn’t do it. I knew the benefits, I knew it made me feel good, and I just never made the time. Last year, I finally admitted I wasn’t going to lift…
Other people are just people; you are the one who puts them on pedestals above you.
Other people are just people; you are the one who puts them on pedestals above you. I was on both sides of this yesterday. To start the day, I met up with a coach that I think of as being ahead of me. He makes significantly more money, he has gone further in his personal…
Somebody recently asked what are some leadership skills they could practice while they were still an individual contributor (IC). My answer was that when you are a leader, the job shifts from doing the work yourself to creating the conditions for others to do the work through skills such as:

In what areas can you see the difference between what’s good and what’s great?
In what areas can you see the difference between what’s good and what’s great? The Large Language Models (LLMs) of generative AI treat all inputs equally – everything gets thrown into the model to create an aggregate composite. They are a great way to find the average or generic way to approach something, which is…
How are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions?
How are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions? It’s now February, so most people have failed at their resolutions. The problem with resolutions is that the underlying assumption is that you just need more willpower to make change happen. But willpower is fickle and unreliable, no matter what the productivity bros say about their…
Clinician and coach Deb Dana once said “Change happens one nervous system at a time”. When leaders calm themselves down, they allow the people around them to calm down as well.
