  • Are You Building Your Business/Life Around the Wrong Story?

    There is a difference between noticing what is broken and building a life around brokenness. I have been thinking about that distinction quite a bit lately because I am realizing how easy it is, especially when you are observant, perceptive, analytical, and deeply aware of patterns, to become someone who spends more time diagnosing reality…

  • Rethink Productivity – think managing energy instead

    Using energy strategically begins with recognizing that not all hours carry the same weight, and that trying to treat them as interchangeable tends to flatten both the work and the person doing it.

  • The Business Cost of Ignoring Emotional Intelligence

    The idea of Emotional Intelligence (EI) first appeared in academic psychology in the 1990s through the work of Peter Salovey and John Mayer, who defined it as the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate emotions in ourselves and others. But it was Daniel Goleman’s 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence that pushed the concept into boardrooms and…
