Things are going very well when you get to go dancing three nights in a row. Things are going even better when you dance with a man wearing a gold puma head, golden scales, and a small tambourine. A trip to remember!

We have a limited #time on this planet and I want you to squeeze the lemon. I want you to get the most out of this time, and not just for you. For the #betterment of the #world around you.

Putting yourself in a different location will create another sight line on the #challenge at hand, which almost always opens up new #possibilities and #insights. Go move around and get some #perspective!

For every problem, there's a solution that's simple, straightforward, & wrong. Are you finding solutions for the right problem or the first problem?
Here are three tips to help you find the RIGHT solution to the RIGHT problem. 👇
This is what dancing with a man wearing a golden puma head and golden scales feels like: brilliant. We met at the recent Summit conference in Palm Springs.
For 2023, I’m being a writer. This is what I intended in 2022 as well, and I talked about it and I even wrote a new book (coming June 27th!). But I didn’t feel I really claimed it as an identity. I looked at the suit on the rack, rather than putting it on and wearing it.

Winston Churchill, in one of my favourite quotes, said, “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” He’s not just talking about architecture. He’s talking about the structures in our lives.

Charlene Li's () a long-standing colleague … who I've never met in person. Her book *The Disruption Mindset* is a classic … and I got to hear about the new one she's working on … lips are sealed for now, but it's going to be fascinating!

Listen to us discuss:
💡Learning through negatives
☮️Finding peace with money
😨How fear taints leadership and corporate culture
It’s the week most of us realize that our new year’s #resolutions have, well, become a little less resolute. If you’re still on track with yours, bravo! And if not, not to worry. Hold it lightly, take a breath, say “how fascinating!”, and reset (if you want to).

I had a great time on 2 Pages with MBS () reading from my book, "Dare, Dream, Do" and discussing dreaming within the context of your values!

Busyness has long been a sign of success. I dare you to change that mindset and embrace the change that comes along with it.

You want to “add value” & be helpful. However, there’s being #helpful, & then there’s being “helpful,” as in stepping in and taking over. Your good #intentions often end up contributing to a vicious cycle of exhaustion, frustration &, ironically, less #impact.

Battersea Power Station has long been a monumental icon. If you're old enough, you'll remember Pink Floyd's flying pig. It's undergone a $9 billion to become … a mall. But it's an extraordinary building to walk around.

The way that we add value is giving people the space for the key #idea to land and #resonate and be understood and maybe be #practiced. NOT by simply providing the answer.

Yum, yuk, meh. Audit how you’re living. I’d wager you’ll be surprised at how the mix plays out. You’ve got some #choice here. See what you can do to get more Yum.

I particularly enjoy this visual, it brings attention to what you could be missing out on with a reckless "yes".

Thrilled to have this wonderful endorsement from @mbs_works on our upcoming book, The Psychological Safety Playbook. When I asked Michael if he'd read the book, he said "I promise I'll look at it. My standard is "if it's not a 'hell yes!' it's a no." So glad we got a "hell yes!"

Yum, yuk, or meh. Where’s the “yum”? What fills your cup, lights your fire, gets your disco glitter ball spinning? How do you protect that? How do you get more of it? If I said, “Double the Yum”, what would you do?
Mudlarking along the banks for the Thames, with the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral in the background. Mudlarking? It's hunting for old and curious artefacts when the tide is low. My best find? Not a whole lot.
