Time How are your intentions and goals for the year going? Did you make resolutions? Many of us likely set resonant intentions and goals for the year. We feel a deep knowing of our purpose that is becoming...

Time management doesn’t work.

We want to be productive and we think, ”if I only had more time.”

What if we don’t need more time?

What if we can create time?

Yes!!

It is! A classic, in Dominican Republic.

deconstructing and reconstructing the flag with black bodies?! BRILLIANT ✊🏾✨

Why do people talk about Simone Bile’s hair when she competes but not Patrick Mahomes’ hair?

If you want people to be at your level, you also have to be at your level.

If we want people to aim for excellence, we also need to aim for excellence.

If we want people to respect our boundaries, we also need to respect our boundaries.

I’m thankful for friends and fam who don’t put my name on the gift bag so I can reuse it.

A tiny bit of childhood magic and elder wisdom.

Expecting people to check their personal stuff when they walk into work or log in for the day is an impossible ask.

We cannot remove parts of the brain and gut and leave them at home or in the car until after work.

Lead and coach the whole person.

Wrapping a weekend in #philly

Never lived here but love this city.

Prioritizing self-care can look llle waking up at 5 AM to front-load quiet time.

Whatever happens in a day ahead, I’ve already had an hour of quiet time with my coffee and my puppies.

Having a boxer puppy is mostly about pulling non-edible things out of her mouth.

Tried to sleep in after going out last night.

Still woke up mad early.

Worth it. Got to balance a slow early morning and a productive late morning/early afternoon:

✅ Marketing meeting
✅ Writing an article on career development for #GenZ
✅ A powerful #coaching session with a client

During a T-Mobile all-employee meeting yesterday, one of the most exciting things I heard was:

✨ A focus on leadership, not just management. ✨

That’s what I’m talking about!

We lead people and manage process.

Let’s stop managing people and leading process.

#leadership #management

You too!!

Same, ten minutes before the alarm

“I realize I'm making progress and I feel calm and much more confident. I'm much less worried. And that feeling much more calm and confident is helping me to put my energies into all the things I need to do.”

I want this for everyone ✨

To the young man who, when I was exhausted on a late-night flight, looked out for me so I could get a snack and made the deplaning passengers who were going to skip me stop, asked if I had another bag, and then held the line for me:

Thank you.

I finally got to listen this episode. Thank you for for sharing it with me.

Two things you said that I connect with deeply and want to see for my clients: to create the spaciousness to see our full selves and create careers accordingly, and to name and step into our expertise with confidence.

One more business trip for the year.

Successfully leading remote and hybrid teams that are geographically distributed calls for discernment for when an in-person meeting is best.

Thankful for thankful for and appreciating a slower morning today.

Quiet time
Coffee
A walk

Resistance against the urge to be productive is hard. But BEing is so sweet.

Living, slowing down for quality time

I’m excited about a lot in the near future:
#seattle next week
#philly the week after
#holidays

Last night, it was for a powerful session with a client and to consults with future clients.

This time of year is a great opportunity to reassess what we value in our relationship with work.

Work values change as life unfolds. Twenty years ago, I valued a higher salary. Ten years ago, I valued having a specific tech specialty. Now I’m more interested in work-life harmony.

Reassess.

Shout out to the people who fill your candy jar at work, who:

- Recognize your hard work
- Acknowledge your expertise
- Peer-review your requirements or code
- Listen when you need to vent
- See your potential
- Bring the dad jokes
- Bring the extra Halloween candy
