The clearer you can get on values, goals and resources, the better your team can make decisions without you. Clarity is power. Thank you @KarlSakas #agencycon

In my experience, sobriety makes good on the sparkle that booze/drugs/numbing promises but never delivers. Today I'm sharing what being sober for 23 years has meant to me, done for me, and why I think recovery is one of my greatest superpowers. bit.ly/SoberAF

Creating and sharing a vision requires vulnerability.
Daniel Goleman (@DanielGolemanEI) profile pictureDaniel Goleman@DanielGolemanEI8 Nov 2018
“Emotionally intelligent leaders build with positives: They craft a vision with heartfelt passion, they foster an inspiring organizational mission that is deeply woven into the organizational fabric, and they know how to give people a sense that their work is meaningful.”
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." - Albert Einstein

Had what felt like 50 tough conversations and rumbles at work this week. Outcome: more trust, more connection, more accountability, more focus. Grateful for people who keep showing up. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Overnight darkness is critical to our well-being, because the pineal gland can only produce melatonin if it is dark enough. And we’re shrinking the amount of darkness we’re exposed to overnight. bit.ly/2EFl746
