My good friend and colleague, Roberta Matuson, posted a blog on LinkedIn about Conquering Procrastination and Unlocking Your Potential. Roberta is a best-selling author, consultant, and really smart person. However, I think it is time to stop fighting procrastination and consider embracing it. Over the years, I’ve helped many clients who want to overcome procrastination. I’ve focus  on how they can hold themselves accountable. I suggest to-do lists, accountability partners, Pomodoro Time Management or even not take a coffee break...

In a rapidly changing world, the rise of a new generation of leaders has sparked a shift in how we navigate challenges and cultivate resilience. I’ve noticed it, and I bet you have seen it too.

As a manager, you don’t want to spend your energy worrying about whether your team members are on board. Questioning trust is a resilience drainer in how it affects your and the team’s energy.

We attended the wedding of a good friend’s son and their new daughter-in-law this past weekend. It was a great time. It had all the beautiful elements of a celebration of love, from the wedding vows written by the bride and groom to their first dance together (including an incredible dip.)  Old friendships were rekindled, and new ones were hatched. Everyone was smiling, laughing, and enjoying the meaning and joy of the day. I find weddings to be a great...
