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 โ๏ธ 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.) ๐ 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, For some of you reading, this week may be business as usual. For the rest of us, this week in American politics marks a significant shift in the landscape we operate in. You may be reeling with fear or uncertainty about the implications for your life and work. Frankly, I'm in the second camp. To be prepared for any outcome, I'd architected two different business plans for the last several months: One based on business as usual, And another based on the potential for significant...
Hi Reader, I have a favor to ask: I'm developing theories about how people in a specific role type might self-identify. It's tricky, because there are a bunch of disciplines and role types that these folks are found in, so this is a more psychographic question than demographic. Is this you (at work)(or someone you know or work with)?โจ Your role is a mix of air traffic control, people-ing, strategy support and thought partnership, and rolling up your sleeves and getting it done (and...
Hi Reader, Happy Tuesday! We're in week three of this eight-week Goal Fridays series, so join me live this Friday on YouTube or LinkedIn for one of my spicier topics: ๐ค Don't Start with an OKR Platform: And What to Do Instead OKR platforms for sure have their place (and employ some of my favorite humans, and a lot of the strong talent in the field). But I don't recommend starting your OKR implementation or reboot with an OKR platform, and you'll find out why this Friday at 9am Pacific / Noon...
