If you joined us on Monday, you know we started the week giving some thought to the company we keep. The people with whom we choose to surround ourselves are important for a lot of reasons. They affect your energy, your mindset, and even your physical state. Their advice and opinions (spoken and not) influence […]
If last week’s posts could be distilled down to a few key themes, one of them was definitely courage. Courage to listen to your intuition, courage to do things that scare you, courage to make choices that make others ask questions. Courage to follow your path, when it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. Because it

You can deny it if you want to, but I know itâs true. So do you. Youâre not the only one, though. Everyone feels the same way. Why wouldnât you? We all want to be special. We all want to make our mark. We all want to live âthe life less ordinary.â We are the
We took some time earlier this week to talk about those tough moments in life when things don’t work out as you wanted them to. Bad news is hard to take in, and even harder to let go of. It generates a whole avalanche of related thoughts about our self-worth, and why (we think) things

This weekend, your “no-fail” mindfulness challenge comes in stages, with some tips for visualizing different scenarios, and using

Raise your hand if youâve got some kind of decision hanging over you. Yup, thought so. Thatâs pretty much everyone, far as I can see. MBA life â including the time before and after business school â is overflowing with them. If youâve been reading along here for a while, you know itâs a topic
This is one of those pieces of insight that can make you feel a few different ways. First: ok, wait, so this is all on me now? But also, whew…so whatever I need, I already have. Yeah, that second part is pretty critical info, and also really great news. Another bonus is that working with

You know that saying that no person is an island? Youâve probably heard it before, and maybe even the first time you did, you thought, âObviouslyâŠwait, what does that mean?â Itâs kind of an odd metaphor, but its point is valid. None of us can â or should â live in isolation. None of us
