We talk constantly about unmanageable workloads, but it’s actually the mental and emotional work that’s wearing us down. Learn how to reduce your thoughtload so you can get through your workload more efficiently and effectively.
I’m back. After four wonderful weeks of vacation with my family, I’m back at home (well actually, I wrote this on the plane en route to my first speech of the season) and back to work. I’m definitely a little foggy, but I think as soon as I get ramped up again, I’ll be better […]
A couple of weeks ago, I did a feature on how teams are sinking into the weeds. In that post, I talked about the nature of effective team conversations and the dimensions on which those conversations start to lose value. Now, I’ve turned that post into a handy-dandy quiz you can use to assess just […]
This is the final post in a short series explaining why my new firm is called 3COze (rhymes with “she goes”). The name links directly to our mission statement: “we will radically transform the way people communicate, connect, and contribute so they can achieve amazing things together.” In the first three posts over here at […]

I walk down the aisle to my desk and sit down in front of my computer. It’s 10:30 and I have just finished three back-to-back half-hour meetings. I have 30 minutes before I go into three more. I’m resurfacing long enough to gasp a breath before submerging again. I’m agitated; I have so much […]

My exposure to that company and its leaders has made me view other organizations differently. It has made it abundantly clear to me how few organizations, teams, and ultimately how few […]
I love when people say they’re struggling with their team. NO, not because I’m a nasty person who likes to see people suffer! To me, if you’re struggling, it means two things: 1) you are trying to make your team work, which is incredibly important; and 2) you aren’t giving up at the first sign […]
This is part two of my blog series in preparation for the launch of the How to Say “No” toolkit (coming soon). Step one, described in the first post, was to figure out what to say “yes” to. In it, I talked about the importance of staying focused in your sweet spot; that magical intersection […]
I’ve been getting ready to post a set of resources (video, blog, worksheet) on how to say “no.” I thought that before I did that, I should probably spend some time on the topic of when to say “yes.” Here is a quick but important review that you should do when a significant (or even […]
