Dear Reader, Before we get back to the usual around here (the tools, the ideas, and the insights I usually bring you), I owe you the rest of what I teased on my birthday a few weeks ago: a new name for the podcast, a trailer for your ears, and a first guest I couldn't wait for you to meet. All 3 are HERE.🎉 🧡 The name is This Changes Things (the next chapter of Your New Life Blend), and the trailer is LIVE right now. It’s 2 minutes, and I'd love for you to hear it: --> ▶️🎧LISTEN TO THE TRAILER 🎧▶️ <-- Here's the question underneath every episode: are you driving your own life & career — or getting dragged along? Each week I sit down with a founder, a leader, a thinker I want to learn from, and we get past the version they've told a hundred times to what matters most to them, how it's shaped what they've built or rebuilt—and what their story can offer the rest of us. Because here's what surfaces again and again: you don't have to hit a breaking point to change course, or to start leading and living like you mean it. It begins the moment you decide it does. It's the same conversation I have with my clients every day, and you'll come away a little clearer on what matters, and a lot less alone in figuring out what to do about it. And that first guest? I couldn't have dreamed up a better one to open with: Caroline Webb — leadership coach, economist, former McKinsey partner, and author of the global bestseller How to Have a Good Day. Her new EXCELLENT book that will change how you lead, think about leadership, and help you solve some of your sticky situations, Leadership Intelligence, lands September 8, which is the very same day our episode drops. She also happens to be one of my close friends, and so while not the most neutral interview, it is a special one :) . And Caroline is only the beginning. The rest of the season is a lineup of people I've long admired, including founders, leaders, and thinkers I've been dying to sit down with. Season 1 of This Changes Things starts September 8. [Apple Podcasts] · [Spotify] · [Youtube] And before you go — who would you love to hear me sit down with? Just hit reply and let me know; I'd love to know what would be exciting for you to listen to! Ok, that's the last of the new stuff! From here, we're back to what you're really here for, the ideas & insights from the coaching & the conversations I'm learning from, and whatever else is worth passing along. Warmly, Connect with me: |
Hi Reader, For the past month, I’ve been telling you I was getting closer to being ready to show you what I’ve been building around here. Phew, I can finally stop being vague about it. Today is my birthday, and as a gift (to me and you) I’m sharing (mostly 😉) what I’ve been building around here. I’m calling it a birthday surprise in reverse 🎉. The backstory: My work has been quietly and organically evolving for years. I didn’t actually have any designs to sit down one day and redesign it, but...
Hi Reader, Two weeks ago I told you something around here is shifting a bit. Not one big overhaul, just a quiet bit of change in about a hundred small(many very, very tiny) decisions finally adding up to something that felt aligned. A bunch of you wrote back (thank you!), and many of you landed on the same spot: the alignment part. Specifically, where things feel in line for you, and where they really don’t. So l’m staying right there, because there’s a piece of this I didn’t say last time,...
Dear Reader, Last month, I wrote about misalignment and how it's rarely dramatic, rarely obvious. It's just that quiet, subtle friction. Teams working hard but are rowing in slightly different directions. Stated priorities that don't quite match where time and money actually go. A lot of you wrote back. And what I heard most wasn't panic, it was recognition:"That's exactly what's happening here," or "I've been sensing exactly this but couldn't name it." So now we're a month out. Q1 is nearly...
