Per my personal hero, Dave Asprey (of Bulletproof coffee fame… or infamy), biohacking is “ science, biology, and self-experimentation to take control of and upgrade your body, your mind, and your life… The art and…
Performance Management as a practice has really been pummeled in recent years. Forced rankings, bell curves, and annual reviews… nearly all of its elements have been demonized, thrown to the curb by myriad premiere organizations.
Quick question: the last time you heard an inspirational quote around failure – whether fail forward or fast, learn from failure – did you kind of roll your eyes?
In 1963, the Beatles invaded America, Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, and women in large part were striving to be thin. The enterprising Jean Nidetch saw and seized upon the great opportunity, and…
Working with leaders that shoot for the moon is inspiring, and frankly just fun. I have all the time in the world to talk about building capabilities for innovation, risk-taking, learning from failure – all…
Allow me to (very gently!) beat a dead horse. As my long-time readers well know, it’s my assertion that – for too many of us – work simply isn’t working.
In the past week I’ve had conversations with three different colleagues on this topic; the idea that organizations are continuing to “challenge” teams to do more with less… and that something has really gotta give.
We’ve all seen the image of the ostrich. We all know the metaphor. Whether the story we’re telling is one of apathy or ignorance, rarely does the ending involve the prince and the wedding.
Ah spring break. It’s a beautiful thing. Last week my family took a much-needed vacation with some sunshine and waves. One of the many activities in which we indulged was a three-mile kayaking adventure.
I don’t build stuff. I get splinters from marble, and my husband insists I maintain a minimum distance of 10 feet from any power tool (or frankly the plastic hammer… or is it a wrench?……
D is a powerful letter to the human body. It’s a vitamin that keeps our bones strong, and rickets at bay. It may not get much conscious attention… but without it, you’d be mush.
Is mine the only family recently addicted to HGTV’s Tiny House Hunters? I mean, families of four + two dogs living in 200 square feet? Crazy! But a little bit amazing…?
Delegation. Terrible idea. I mean – I can do it faster, better myself. Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought this. Come on – no one’s looking. You know who you are – put it…
I hope I’m not dating myself (too much) here: but remember that little display of crazy back in 2011 when Charlie Sheen overtook Twitter and (a little bit) the world with #Winning? Oh, Memory Lane…
If you buy the assertion that leadership is about unlocking and igniting more than it’s about actually doing the work (and please, please do buy this assertion), then at its core, leadership becomes largely about…
Business is good – right? I mean, it may not be booming… but booming is an overrated idea… isn’t it? Aren’t “mostly hitting our targets” and “our customers don’t complain a lot” the real indicators…
As a practitioner of “Organization Development” I recognize it’s a phrase whose sizzle is about on par with “economic headwinds.” In conversations with friends, eyes glaze over, and snoring occasionally ensues.
Those who know me well know that I have a passion for fitness. More specifically, for lifting weights. I’m a big believer in the “strong mind strong body” idea. And frankly, I’m not above admitting…
Remember the “buddy system” from childhood? On field trips, in swimming pools – any time there simply weren’t enough “responsible adults” to go around, each of us would be become a five-year old suddenly accountable…
Which has been your favorite Time Mag cover – Michael Jackson? Steve Jobs? Mine was the vindication of butter – and its fat-saturated cousins – in June 2014. Life’s just been better with butter.
Are you a leader? Then you’re thinking about innovation – right? No –I’m not watching you right now. That would be creepy. It’s just something I happen to know about you.
