Time management doesn’t work.
We want to be productive and we think, ”if I only had more time.”
What if we don’t need more time?
What if we can create time?

If you want people to be at your level, you also have to be at your level.
If we want people to aim for excellence, we also need to aim for excellence.
If we want people to respect our boundaries, we also need to respect our boundaries.

Expecting people to check their personal stuff when they walk into work or log in for the day is an impossible ask.
We cannot remove parts of the brain and gut and leave them at home or in the car until after work.
Lead and coach the whole person.

Prioritizing self-care can look llle waking up at 5 AM to front-load quiet time.
Whatever happens in a day ahead, I’ve already had an hour of quiet time with my coffee and my puppies.

Tried to sleep in after going out last night.
Still woke up mad early.
Worth it. Got to balance a slow early morning and a productive late morning/early afternoon:
✅ Marketing meeting
✅ Writing an article on career development for #GenZ
✅ A powerful #coaching session with a client

During a T-Mobile all-employee meeting yesterday, one of the most exciting things I heard was:
✨ A focus on leadership, not just management. ✨
That’s what I’m talking about!
We lead people and manage process.
Let’s stop managing people and leading process.

To the young man who, when I was exhausted on a late-night flight, looked out for me so I could get a snack and made the deplaning passengers who were going to skip me stop, asked if I had another bag, and then held the line for me:
Thank you.

This time of year is a great opportunity to reassess what we value in our relationship with work.
Work values change as life unfolds. Twenty years ago, I valued a higher salary. Ten years ago, I valued having a specific tech specialty. Now I’m more interested in work-life harmony.
Reassess.

People want to feel recognized. Awards and pomp and circumstance are great. But people want more. We have a need to be seen.
Practice acknowledgement.
It can be as simple as, “I see you working really hard on this project. I appreciate your tenacity.”
