We all get tired of change, but change is even harder when you resist it! Learning to navigate and embrace change can really be a great thing. If you're not going through change, it probably means you're stuck, or you're not innovating, or maybe you're a little bit bored.
You're leading a team meeting, your employee asks you for feedback or advice, your kid wants an extra bedtime story, your spouse really needs you to listen to her, your investor has a couple of questions, your client wants to run something by you. Everyone wants a piece of you, and there's not a lot to go around and not a lot of time. You have one million and one things going on, only one of you, and you have to Show Up. One more request or demand, and you might just implode.

This is not uncommon--I see it all the time. Great performance, wicked talent, awesome people with unintended impact. An easy fix if the person wants it to be.
The energy of busy is killing us.
Yes, killing us. How's your life right now, dear reader?
Busy? Full? Crazy? Overwhelming?
You have your business, your life, your wife, your man, your kids, your friends, family, and pets, your mortgage...
It's daunting.
When I walk into a room to work with a group, I can usually tell within the first 5 to 10 minutes how solid the outcomes will be, and how tangible we'll be able to make them, simply by how people are showing up in that room. (Truth be told I get a sense of this way before the meeting just in the way the hosts set intentions and plan for it.)
