Youâre a pretty smart person. No, donât try to play humble and say you arenât. You are, and you know it. Maybe youâre really smart, or even a genius. Regardless, youâre probably better at or happier doing some things over others, and with certain activities, youâre lucky enough to get both. The point is, whether […]
You’re getting it all the time, whether you realize it or not. Formally, and informally. Directly, indirectly, and 360 degrees. It’s a natural and necessary part of human interaction — and apparently, also professional existence. Just because it’s everywhere doesn’t mean you’re paying attention to it, though. You may ignore it, dismiss it, or even

Weâre back with more Real Mindful conversations, beginning this month with Eric Schneider, who recently joined the Harvard Business School Class of 2021.

Hi friends! It’s been an intense couple of weeks, and you might be wondering what’s going on over here. Lots of changes! BUT, that doesn’t mean I haven’t had anything to say. Â I’ll be back this week with another post here, but in the meantime, you may be missing out on your Monday Moments and
