Link roundup & a resource for over-doers
|
Hi Reader, I didn't get the reminder out this morning about today's Goal Friday ... I was too busy editing a bit of neuroscience into the content outline based on the book I just happened to be reading with my morning coffee this morning LOL ☝️ The irony of totally overthinking a Live about overthinking So in case you missed it, I will share edited-down, cleaned up versions of the event when we're able, but if you're in a rush, you can see the whole unedited live right now: Next week, I'm turning the topic to over-doing... we'll take a look at the habit of over-doing, the risks of burnout associated with over-doing, and a goal-setting practice to help you clear the mental clutter and focus so you can make conscious decisions about what really needs to get done and what you might be able to do less of or stop doing. (If you know me well, you're laughing out loud that I chose these two topics back to back because ... pot calling kettle much? But they say: as a coach, if you're 10% ahead of your clients, you're able to help ... so here we are.) 👉 RSVP for Friday's event via YouTube or LinkedIn, or, find more information about Goal Fridays on my website here. This week's link roundup:
Next week, we've got another great Thinkydoers guest in keeping with the theme of mental health: Dr. Sherlonda Adkins joins me to talk about "Stuckness," its causes and effects on mental health, and some resources for getting unstuck when you need to. I'm also going to share a quick re-cut of last week's Live without the co-working time included with the three key questions I use in a quarterly review (plus two bonus questions), since we're right up at the end of Q3 so it's time to finish our Q3/Q4 reset and get ready to achieve your Q4 goals! Okay team... I hope you are safe and warm (but not too warm) wherever you're reading from today, and that you are able to get some restoration time this weekend. I'll see you back in your inbox next week! |

Hi Reader, Are you a Chief of Staff? Or, do you work in a "chief of staff-like" role in ops, people and culture, strategy, or another discipline — whatever your title? If you're a leader's "right hand," or you're the person they call when something has to get done, then I really want you to click this link. Or, are you a leader who works with a Chief of Staff (or someone in a similar capacity)? If so, I really want you to click this link! If not, but you may have Chiefs of Staff in your...
Hi Reader, It's perfect timing for me to be laid out with the flu this week when the next two are nuts with travel and then the last few days of prep before the print launch of my book. Despite not firing on all cylinders, it's a big week here at No-BS HQ! I'm so grateful for this Forbes feature that went live today: 👉🏼 Bias Thrives In Ambiguity—OKRs Can Change That, by Aparna Rae Aparna Rae is a must-follow -- she's an outspoken advocate of data and results in DEI, and I've been a huge fan...
Hi Reader, Ever been told you’re “too analytical” or that you “overcomplicate things?" Or the flip side -- have you heard or thought: "You/I need to be more strategic." You may also be a leader who's given that feedback... or, heard in your employee surveys that people don't know what's expected of them, or how their work aligns to your strategy. "Does my work even matter?" is a red-flag question for leaders and staffers alike. In today’s Thinkydoers episode, I’m sharing a live reading of the...
