Chaos impacts you & your humans

Time Needed: 15m Activity

Outcome: Add a tool to your toolbox

Hey Reader,

Leading through the Dumpster fire

Yeeeaaaahhh... no intro feels appropriate. Let me just say, you and/or your teams simply will have cognitive emotional load and stress from the world around you/them. I'm going to share some prior email issues with my comments on leading through hard stuff, and a tweaked Monday Hour 1.

TLDR: Be a Human. Acknowledge things are hard. Create space for feelings. Treat your humans like humans. This is cannot be work as normal with higher expectations than last week in perpetuity.

Leading through Hard Stuff: Layoffs, Medical Emergencies & the Pandemic

Making Decisions when Decision Making is Hard

Watch this for your permission slip to lean the F out

Dropping Balls: Are your Balls Glass or Rubber

Here's your weekly invitation to take time for yourself to approach your week with intention, a focus on impact and prioritize leading yourself in human-centered ways.

Monday Hour 1

  1. What’s the most impactful thing your team must deliver this week? Can everything else ease off?
  2. What is your body/soul craving? Do you have space on your calendar for this?
  3. Where can you create space for others to acknowledge humanity at work, hard things or just venting?
  4. Who may need more support? How can you support within your own capacity?

Breathe in, breathe out. Do the damn thing. Do less.
