Some changes I’ve had to make to keep working during Covid are actually improvements. Here’s what I’ll keep (and what I’ll ditch) in post-lockdown meetings.
I have already made mistakes in managing myself through the Covid-19 crisis. But then I found something that helps…here’s my strategy, for what it’s worth.

It’s World Cup time again.

I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions, but I’m a huge fan of personal growth. Instead of a resolution, I give each year a theme. This is the story of my two-year journey on the theme of joy (complete with epic fail in 2014 and recommit in 2015). I hope it inspires you […]
Work is hard. And if you toil away in solitude, it’s arduous and sometimes overwhelming. What a waste when you have teammates who can share the burden and even lighten the load. If you are struggling in silence, ask yourself why. Why don’t you share? Here are the most common things you tell yourself […]
