Ready or Not: The Power of Taking Courageous Action

mercredi 28 août 2024 • Duration 27:53

Readiness is an important part of life and success, both individually and collectively. However, when we’re attempting to do something big, new, or both, the paradox is that we’re usually not quite ready and always ready at the same time. On this episode I talk about how we often get in our own way with perfectionism, procrastination, and fear. I then share five specific things we can do to take courageous action, whether or not we feel ready to do so.

You Don’t Always Have to Suck it Up

mardi 12 avril 2022 • Duration 22:41

Our 13 year old daughter Rosie said to me recently, “Dad, you don’t always have to suck it up.” Her feedback stopped me in my tracks. It had me reflect on how and why I do this, and also how much we’re encouraged in our culture to “suck it up” at work and in life. On this episode, I talk about the paradox of sucking it up and how it can be both necessary and detrimental to our success and wellbeing.

Trusting our instincts is an important aspect of growth and success in life, leadership, work, and more. And, even in the best of times, it can be challenging to do this effectively. Over the past few months and years, I’ve found it more difficult than ever to trust my own instincts, given all of the stress, change, and uncertainty we’ve been facing. On this episode, we talk about both the challenge and the importance of trusting our instincts these days, and some specific things we can do to enhance our capacity to do so.

Navigating Mixed Emotions and Strong Reactions

lundi 28 mars 2022 • Duration 27:30

I watched the Oscars live, like millions of people around the country and the world. I was shocked and shaken by the incident that took place between Will Smith and Chris Rock, two entertainers whom I’ve had great respect and appreciation for over the years. On this episode, I talk about what happened between them, my initial reactions, and, more broadly, how we can most effectively deal with the messy and paradoxical nature of our mixed emotions to not just this incident, but to the real things that happen in our work and in our lives.

Like most busy people, I crave more free time and find it challenging to create. However, according to my friend Jenny Blake, for us to thrive in our work and our lives, creating free time is not just a nice to have, it’s essential. On this episode, I talk to Jenny about why this can be so difficult, why it is so important, and how we can do it. Jenny’s forthcoming book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, is filled with actionable ideas for how we can create more space for ourselves to do more good work.

The Power of Regret

mardi 8 mars 2022 • Duration 25:08

Like most of us, I think of regret in a negative way, and that it’s something I try to avoid as much as possible. However, I recently listened to a conversation that Brene Brown had on her podcast with Daniel Pink about his new book, The Power of Regret. Listening to them underscored some things I think I’d known but didn’t specifically realize were so important about acknowledging our regrets. On this episode, I talk about the tricky but healthy balance between denial and shame where we can embrace the essential lessons of our regrets…and allow them to change us in positive ways.

Keeping Things in Perspective

mardi 1 mars 2022 • Duration 21:35

Given the level of stress, weariness, and uncertainty that many of us are experiencing these days, it can be challenging to keep things in a healthy perspective. In light of the terrifying invasion and violence happening right now in Ukraine, I’ve been thinking a lot about the millions of people impacted by this. So much of what seems hard in my own daily life pales in comparison. On this episode, I talk about the importance of perspective, how we can avoid the trap of unhealthy comparative suffering, and some specific things we can do to shift our mindset in positive and productive ways, even in the face of difficulty.
