Be the Hero Who Defeats Change Management Failure

Hollywood is doing it all wrong. How many horror movies have they churned out, where on a dark and stormy night, the heroine runs right into danger (in sky-high heels, of course) and chaos ensues until the unlikely hero swoops in, saves her and defeats the villain? They both ride off into the sunset, looking picture-perfect, and live happily ever after. Too many. We think Hollywood is missing out on a surefire formula for a [...]

Launch a Playlist of the Best Leadership Podcasts on Spotify

When I first heard the word “podcast,” it brought to mind an image of a happy green alien zooming around outer space in a little pod-shaped spaceship.

We need employees who are engaged in their own wellness journey, and who are willing to support their colleagues along the way as well.

Did You Miss This Call From the Universe?

Man. Change is tough. Right? Isn’t that what we tell ourselves everytime life moves us in a new/different/scary direction? But is it really true? Or are we creating resistance with the stories and truths we tell ourselves? Like, when something doesn’t go the way we expected, we might tell ourselves that we failed because we suck, we’re losers, incapable, etc. But the real reason might be that we experienced unexpected change because we were on [...]
