Let’s talk about growing up as leaders, encouraging and nurturing our teams to be healthy, autonomous adults, and treating them as such.

The way work used to work (and still does, in many places) is conducive to people remaining children, to not growing up. Someone else shapes our work environment and makes all the decisions for us. We’d get a carrot/pat on the back/brownie point for doing well and a stick for failing to perform. So we didn't grow up.

Yesterday’s fads/dogmas were the hustle culture and peak performance. Today’s, post-pandemic, is well-being.

A mighty good development, if you ask me.

Not all remote teams were born equal. Remote-forced is different from remote-first, but it doesn't have to be. Learn about the most common mistakes those who were forced to go remotely make, and how to avoid them.

The majority of the planet has only experienced pandemic-induced remote work.

The remote movement was a small niche before. It's understandable that many people still immediately associate remote work with a lonely, isolating experience from their tiny spare bedroom.

Someone asked me recently at a business event what has been a meaningful moment for me in the last two years.

The very thing you consider to be a nuisance can be the key, the person, the angle that solves a problem you're currently wrestling with.

On 22/2/2022, one of my favorite people in the whole world, who you may have heard me referring to as Awesome Grandma, crossed the rainbow bridge.

In the wake of her passing, I was heartbroken.

What we have right now, or better said, what we had until just about yesterday - traditional offices, work models, hierarchies, etc - is based on the realities of the industrial era. And it no longer works.

But how will the world look as we move into the next era?

Barack Obama travelled 15,687 km to Sanur to write, but I retreat somewhere else. Why?

I previously wrote about two killers of joy and productivity: context switching and time confetti. Knowing is winning half the battle, but “what do we do about it?”, asked many of those who read that article. Here are some ways to fight back.

My story of leaving the traditional career paths and rethinking the way I work and live.

We have more advanced tools, automations and outsourcing options than ever, and objectively a lot more free time than we had on average 50 years ago. Yet workdays and leisure time are both becoming more stressful and fragmented. Why?

As the pandemic goes on, we need to cultivate, more than ever, whatever ways help us nurse our well-being.

That feeling you get gazing at an immense night sky. The wonder we feel when we encounter something powerful we can’t explain.

If you lead a team or a business in some capacity, and care about the people you work with, chances are you spend a good portion of your time removing obstacles, solving problems and generally making work smoother for others.

Close brushes with death cause us to sift through our values, re-evaluate and re-consider them, question everything in our lives. Where do we go from here and what part are you going to play in shaping the future?

On camels vs. unicorns, not letting things you love kill you, and building with passion without burning out.

Our subconscious is always working on problems. What are mine?
