Just another Manic Monday
Last week, I had the opportunity to speak with a group of senior executives from a large multinational company. As we settled into the conversation, I kicked things off with a simple question: “How are you all doing today?” Their answer really made me stop and think...
Reconnecting with your Best Self
As Amelia, a Vice Chairman in a large multinational organization, walked into the meeting room filled with 35 Exco members and SVPs she was a bit nervous. After all, only last year these people were all her peers, and most of them have been in the organization longer than she had. She sat down, took a sip from her tall cup of water, and observed the faces of her friends and colleagues. She was unsure if they were ready to hear what she was about to say, but it was high time they did.
The importance of having titanium-grade support
Last month as I was skiing with my kids in the French Alps, I fell and broke my collarbone. It was a shocking experience (yes, sigh…pun intended).
As a volunteer paramedic, I spent many a day rescuing others from difficult situations, and on the snow, I am that person who stops to help anyone who falls. Yet suddenly I found myself on the side of the injured.
As I was whisked off to the hospital the X-ray results were conclusive: I would need to be operated on and have a titanium-grade support plate installed before I could begin to heal. Although this was by no means a fun experience, it did bring its share of learnings.
Here are six lessons I learned from needing titanium-grade support...
On puppies, meaning, and the pursuit of happiness
In the United States' Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”.
But was Thomas Jefferson correct? Should we pursue happiness or meaning?
What does research have to say about the wellbeing and health consequences of each choice?
And most importantly, how can we ‘have it all’ in a post-Covid world?
Is your job killing you?
I’m often surprised by statements on the ineffectiveness of remote work like the one made by David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs in Feb 2021
Yet, I am even more surprised when these statements come from forward-thinkers like Elon Musk, whom I admire.
As the world emerges from Covid to a new form of normality, isn’t it high time we redesign a world where our work is valuable, enjoyable, invigorating, challenging, and demanding but not lethal?
The question is: can we just break for a second?
Are you Unstoppable?
Last week my daughter came home on the verge of tears after her rowing competition. She really wanted to win, but she didn’t get to be on that podium.
She felt she failed herself, but especially her coach, who had such high hopes for her.
In this post we use her experience to explore what prevents leaders from being unstoppable and what we first need to re-learn in order to become more focused, intentional, and aware in our work and lives.
