There is comfort in having a great excuse.
Great excuses give us the freedom to choose easily.
Deadly isn’t it?

What makes us incredibly excited to go to work?
Seriously, what?
Hope your answer instantaneously rolls off your tongue.
PS. After a five-week vacation, today is the first day back teaching as an Orlando based leadership speaker.

Time to start thinking the same way about teams
(photo: the way the world works is changing fast… embrace it… what other choice is there?)
The work team is trying to give something important a more meaningful name. No harm no foul.
But there’s a challenge here.
A new name isn’t the solution to the change they are trying to solve for.
Over time the team has gone from a traditional physical location with offices and cubes to half the old way and half the new virtual work from home way.
The virtual workforce isn’t a different group of people who do different things. They simply sit somewhere different.
The solution is in changing the way they operate.
Virtual is the new normal.
But they are trying to maintain stability by coming up with a clever name for the ‘distance’ team. Trying (innocently and ignorantly) to bypass the reality of a sea change.
It’s similar to the revelation of Baby Boomers calling the fast pace of change, technology.
Watching a 13 year old grow up, the revelation is that he doesn’t think of it as technology and never has. To him, it just ‘is’.
Time to start thinking the same way about teams.

Inspiring is our passion

Inspiring is our passion.
It’s all we think about.
Why?
Because living inspired or living uninspired is a choice – and both are difficult to maintain.
To be a catalyst for others… to choose wisely.

The toughest job before us is this
(photo: Boy and puppy cuddling… one of a Nursing home resident’s few possessions)
The toughest job before us is this.
Being the CEO of You, Inc.
Leading ourselves is our number one responsibility.
And it comes with every emotion under the sun.
There is an illusion that the people who seem to have figured this out are lucky.
False.
Everyone is going through a hell no one else knows about.
Every. One.
Handle it.
