Watch this for your Permission Slip ๐Ÿ’Œ


Permission to lean the F out

Time Needed: 15m Activity

Outcome: Align your week to impact

Hey Reader,

You get ONE thing. Not two, three or five a day. Pick one thing this week.

If you're like many of the leaders I coach, you are an excellent multitasker, high achiever and well on your way to burnout. Or even joining the 51% of US employees and "quiet cracking" (now all the rage with mgmt consultants to replace "quiet quitting"). INSERT EYE ROLL ๐Ÿ™„

Give yourself permission for a rest week.

Athletes prioritize rest and recovery as it leads to better performance. Designs use "negative white space" to draw more attention to the message or action that matters the most. You are a human being (I hope) and not a machine made for the kind of work systems we exist in today.

Monday Hour 1

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 would resting look like this week?
  2. What is your body craving? Do you have space on your calendar for this?
  3. If you only did ONE thing this week to nudge impact forward, what would it be?
  4. Cancel 10 things you committed to.

Did number 4 make your stomach drop?

Cancel 20 things.

Thanks for reading & leading.
