A Year With My “Birb”
A year ago, my daughter (mid-20s) suggested I download an app called Finch. She had been using it for a couple of months to build habits. Specifically, she was looking for motivation around what I’ll call the chores of daily living. The mundane tasks we all must do,...
Getting Cozy
I saw an article in Mediapost that talked about the trend toward “cozy”. We all know that at this time of year, especially in the northern US, the weather is getting cooler. As it does, we lean toward “cozy”. Warmer clothes. Darker days. And snuggling in for the cold...
Thoughts and Thinking
A quick search of “how many thoughts do we have per day?” provides a wide range. Some reports say the number is 6,000 while others say 60,000. So, somewhere in that 10x swing is likely the level. Either way, we consistently have a lot of thoughts going through our...
What Managers Need
In the past, we’ve discussed how managers feel unique pressure in the middle of the organization and they aren’t getting the support they need. Gallup even wrote a book on the topic called It’s the Manager. They highlighted the role managers play in the engagement of...

Sleep Cycles
We all know that our sleep is core to our health. This is the time the body and brain recover, process memories, and prepare us for the next day. There are many articles on the importance of sleep. And the struggles we have falling asleep. Many are even tracking sleep...
Elastic Habits Tie to Hope
I recently learned of the book Elastic Habits by Stephen Guise. The premise of the book is that we should have a limited number of flexible habits. Each day, we have options surrounding three habits we want to keep. This allows us to adapt on a day-to-day basis to be...
The 3.9-Year Job
The numbers speak for themselves. The median job tenure in the U.S. has dropped to 3.9 years. The lowest since 2002. This isn't a trend that will swing back. It's a spiral. And it's gaining momentum. How We Got Here The 2008 financial crisis broke the old employment...

Reimagining Spaces
Our homes are full of rooms that are labeled when we buy the house. The kitchen. Living Room. Dining Room. Bedroom. Family Room. Office. Den. And more. There is an expectation of how we will furnish and use each room. But why? Aside from the kitchen, bathrooms, and...
Scripts: The Lines We Don’t Realize We’re Reciting
We’re all acting out scripts. Not stage plays. Social ones. The ones we picked up from childhood. From our first jobs. To meetings, marketing plans, and morning coffee lines. “How are you?” “Busy.” “Just trying to get through the week.” Scripts help us move quickly....
Be The Sun
I recently came across a summary of Harry Cohen’s book Be the Sun, Not the Salt. He uses the phrase to describe the power of being a positive force. What he calls a “sun person”. Rather than letting negativity drain others. The concept is based on the heliotropic...
When You’ve Lost a Job: Deal, Dream, Divert
Losing a job shakes more than your schedule. It can rattle your identity, your confidence, and your sense of security. The early days are often a blur of emotions including shock, anger, grief, and uncertainty. There’s no single “right way” to navigate this. I believe...
