Checklist the Minors & Map the Majors

As we continue to expand our influence together in 2020, one technique that may help you is to learn to checklist the minors and map the majors. When we utilize a list to keep us moving forward on essential habits, we can feel accomplished, but the major project requires more from us. Learn how and why you should do both to rock your work and love your life.

Chances are you have a favorite superhero and admire some of the unique qualities he/she has. In this episode, we will talk about five of those qualities that we can all harness at work to be able to perform our very best at work.

Rockin' The Holiday Season at Work

I love everything about the holiday seasons; however, sometimes amidst the work schedule and cocktail parties, I need to find myself. It takes a large amount of intention for me to remain focussed and energized to rock my work so that I'm free to love my life and tie into the profound meanings of the holidays. In this episode, you'll learn four ways to shape your thinking so that you can be merry through the holidays and not lose your focus at work.

Enter the Stoic

I love a good vacation; however, when I return, I always come back to work a bit punchy. This last trip, I contemplated and came up with some big ideas that helped me make the transition to work smoother. I blended stoic philosophy and positive psychology to rock at work.

Be Unstoppable

In our quest to rock our work, we often focus on our weaknesses in hopes they'll become strengths. Concentrating on a weakness rarely helps. Only by focusing on our strengths can we accelerate towards greatness. In this episode, we will talk about three lies we must reject to become our best at work and in life.

Beauty in the Ordinary

It seems like we are surrounded by exciting things to do, people to meet, and lessons to learn. In fact, the pulse of our lives beat to a different drummer, and if we are not careful, we can get lost. When this happens, we can get caught in "what's next" mode and are never satisfied. It takes a special effort to find beauty in the ordinary things of life. Somehow I know that by learning to do this, we can all take a step closer to rocking it at work so that we can love our lives.

Why I Take a Break, and you should as well

Sometimes, when we love what we do, it's hard to pull away from work long enough to take a holiday. However, breaks are a necessary part of great leadership. When we break with intention, we set the stage for resting, recharging, and rejuvenating. It's the combination of the three R's that tune our minds so that we can rock at work.

Fueling Your Creativity with Constraints

I used to believe constraints were a bad thing and that the end goal was to work yourself into a position at work where you were completely free. However, what I've found is that constraints at work and in life are a good thing. Not only do they force us to think better inside the box, but they also open up a new level of creativity within.

Courage in Failure

For some, failure is devastating, while others seem to bounce back and get better, not bitter. The question has never been if we fail - it's why we fail.  You can use failure as stepping stones to a bright future where you are free to rock your work and love your life.
