Ready. Set. Access.

Amazement That’s You

Each person we encounter has vivid sonder.

Too busy reading their labels, we miss the chance to explore their stories.

Dying of boredom or alive with wonder…the choice is ours.

Bring Along Humility

Who doesn’t like humility?

A message accompanied by humility is welcomed.

The same message, if accompanied by arrogance, is rejected along with its messenger. Why would they let us in next time?

Gifting

Attention is a lasting gift which most don’t get disappointed with.

On Mother’s Day and, really, all the other days.

‘I’m Not Sure’

Sometimes there’s no good reason for doing the things we do (or don’t do).

Thank goodness someone cared to ask us for the reason. The answer ‘I’m not sure’ invites exploration of possibilities.

Unknowingly, they just opened a door for us.

Story, Story, Story

Eight out of 10 CEOs go with their guts over data to make the calls.

Confine your idea in a good story before releasing it into the universe, because us humans buy stories, not products.

Elevating the Inconspicuous

This month is filled with holidays to express gratitude for those who assume undeniably important roles yet remain inconspicuous.

What if there was a Patient Appreciation Day?

Even if it’s commemorated with just lip service, how would it look?

What are the reasons to be grateful to patients?

If the patients didn’t seek us out, how would our lives be different?

Mark your calendars. We get an entire week to intentionally express gratitude to them: February 1-7, 2024.

Shifting Focus

Do we care about our work because we care about them?

Do we care about them because we care about our work?

The difference between the two is the difference between diversity and desert; nourishment and deprivation; dedication and apathy; conduction and resistance.

Uncertainty

Panic from uncertainty taxes our cognitive capacity. We take cover with what’s familiar to shut off further uncertainty.

They may write it off as rigid, careless, or even reckless.

Lean into the tension because it just may be the watershed moment. What lays around the bend may surprise both you and them.

The Object Is…

All along we were thinking that the work is the object, and employees are the subjects.

The inverse is true…and it works.

Elevate your employees. Seek clarity. Let’s all work on ourselves. Let’s take them with us from here to there.

It’s about time we stopped pushing square wheels.

Let’s Go to Tomorrow

The best performers aren’t working for themselves or serving others. They’re answering their calling.

There is no other place that I was meant to be than right here, right now.

From here, let’s go there. From today, let’s go to tomorrow.
