Video This might sound almost too obvious: Practice your problem-solving and decision-making skills. But here’s the twist—this is often where we stall out. As adults, as leaders, problem-solving is our thing. Making decisions is what we do. And frankly, it’s exhausting. So why on earth would we practice it? Because we tend to make it

Video Everyone says self-care is important, but too few of us actually take it seriously—at least, not until we’re already burned out. More often, we run ourselves ragged and then have nothing left to give when the stakes are high. If I treated my car the way I sometimes treat myself—ignoring maintenance, skipping rest, pushing

Video We just bedevil ourselves clinging to the myth of willpower.  We try to muscle our way through habit change, health goals, or personal/professional growth and then feel awful when it fails.  Seriously, we can be our own worst enemies. Willpower is a thing, but it’s an incredibly limited thing.  Mine might last until lunch

Video Have you ever been beaten up with the “resilience” stick?At work. In a group challenge.  Trying to break a stubborn habit. In a boot camp or weight-loss program. It’s been a buzzword for years now and often misused as a polite (or not-so-polite) way of saying:“Just get over it. Get back to work. Get

Video My sister-in-law bought a new house.   While most of the lawn looked great, there was one very brown, possibly very dead patch. Standing around this poor patch, we checked the basics:  Water, fertilizer, critters?  All good.  Maybe we replace the sod and try again? Armed with a plan, we broke our huddle.  My husband

Video 3. Who Do You Need to Be? Be specific. Are there qualities you need to develop? Habits to change? Limiting beliefs to eliminate? What adjustments would help you better self-regulate, handle setbacks, and become more resilient? How can you actively grow in these areas? Who embodies or exhibits the traits or responses you want

Video We’re creating a specific plan to address the resistance you feel that has become an obstacle to achieving a goal or completing a task. Last week, we looked at the first step of the plan: Be honest about what’s feeding your resistance, and I asked you to focus on ONE thing you could stop

Video Are you constantly finding yourself doing anything but the task you know you should be tackling? You’re not alone. That space between what you intend to do and what you actually accomplish is called the “intention gap” – and learning to bridge it is a game-changer for your productivity and peace of mind. To
