We might notice the big moments of gratitude, but it’s the small ones that really matter and collectively shape our experience.

Embracing spiritual health isn't just an added benefit—it's the transformative key that unlocks profound personal growth and propels organizations forward; by grounding ourselves and our teams in a deeper sense of purpose and meaning, we ignite resilience, innovation, and productivity that simply can't be achieved through physical, emotional or mental efforts alone.

The right questions can turn confusion into clarity. They can move you from a state of predictable results to a state of exploration, growth and discovery. They open up pathways to see your position newly and create new, effective paths forward.

If we’re not actively breaking limiting beliefs – we’re stuck with them. Taking on seemingly impossible challenges together builds stronger bonds and unlocks the hidden potential in all of us. The process reveals how we can show up for ourselves, show up for others and ultimately overcome whatever hurdles life presents even in the face of challenges and adversity.

There is no achievement in isolation. Nobody does it alone. If you want to perpetuate progress, create sustainable achievement — you need to sustain a collective. You don’t only need goals. Or willpower. You need this rich tapestry of people in all aspects of life. That’s what propels you forward — that’s what creates achievement.

The faster change occurs around us, the more crucial it becomes to pause and reflect on who we are within it. This reflection helps us stay grounded and aligned with what’s ultimately important and where we ultimately want to go – in our organizations and in our lives. By slowing down to know ourselves better, we can handle change with greater resilience, speed and clarity.

Content is information, ideas or materials shared. Context is the circumstantial, conditional and cultural framework that influences how that content is understood. The real worth is found not in the content itself, but in the context that shapes our understanding of it. Content isn’t king. Context is.

Developing real psychological safety doesn't mean staying in a static, comfortable bubble. It means developing the resilience and flexibility to handle more diverse and challenging scenarios. The once formidable becomes the familiar. We don’t become more psychologically safe by avoiding or denying the things that make us uncomfortable. But rather including, embracing and expanding beyond that discomfort.

Confidence is a deep self-trust. A cultivated belief that no matter what happens, we know who we are to navigate it. It gives us the internal strength to confront anything we’re presented with. Circumstantial confidence, derived from status, money, relationships or anything externally will yield a fragile, false confidence at best.

Shifting our beliefs will always out perform working more, trying harder or even learning new things because those approaches miss the place that results shift from. As you shift your beliefs, new ideas, pathways and opportunities emerge that create a meaningful, transformational and sustainable difference.

Give and take is fundamental to any human relationship over time. Without clear intentions we can be left in-tension feeling like we’re against each other, but with them we can align our greater aims to grow, together…

Sometimes it feels like we’re awash in generalities, broad-stroke strategies and sweeping statements – the noise is hard to cut through. It’s only in the nuances, the details, the specificity of our questions and answers that the difference gets made. Our results will transform in direct correlation with our willingness to dive deep, have the hard conversations, ask the tough questions, interrogate our beliefs and be rigorous in our thinking. Only within the real work of specificity can we find the alignment and clarity we need to propel ourselves forward.

In a world that relentlessly pushes the narrative of goal-setting, vision crafting, and benchmarking as the ultimate roadmap to success, there's an essential, yet often overlooked, component that distinguishes the truly successful from those perpetually chasing their tails. Yes, having goals and objectives is crucial—they give us direction and make our aspirations tangible. However, there’s a nuanced layer beneath the surface that can significantly influence our ability to build and achieve these goals and sustain high levels of performance over time.

We’ve all struggled, but that capacity to struggle can be the defining factor of success and growth. Typically, we often opt for the easy route. Asking easy questions that usually yield comfortable, but superficial and impact-less answers. It turns out, that it’s the deeper, harder, more challenging questions – and our response to the struggle they entail – that truly catalyzes growth and learning. Up to 450% improvements in one case…

There are magical rubber duckies. You heard me right – they’re little yellow rubber duckies that have continued to magically show up – in the hundreds in every shape and size you could imagine – around my nieces. Big yellow ones, small pink ones, halloween ducks, and New Year ducks, ducks with mohawks and ducks dressed as other animals…

Imagine that within each of us lies an innate force, a compelling essence that naturally pulls us to ascend to great heights and the best versions of ourselves. What would that be like?It might sound like a philosophical dream, but it’s more reality than we often realize.

We all have gaps – gaps in our skill set, gaps in our performance, gaps in our relationships. They might be easier to see now that we’re rolling in 2024. Gaps that are the distance between where we are and where we want to be. Easily said and easily understood maybe, but in practice it’s anything but easy. It can be a profound and challenging process that takes one thing to begin.

The ball has dropped, the New Year is here and you might feel like you’re the hare racing the tortoise – off and running into 2024! Maybe you have new standards in place, new goals to work towards and exciting things on deck. You’re blazing off the starting line and I’m right there with you… But, before you really get running, I (and boatloads of research) suggest: you start here…
