It's exciting to see when my clients reach major milestones. Beyond the Times Square billboard and smiling faces celebrating the launch of their latest technology, most wouldn't know the amount of work that's gone into leading such a large change effort. I'm honored and humbled to work with such talented leaders who invest in their teams and partners to achieve this kind of success. Way to go Pri!

If you are mid-career and you:
· Don’t have a practice of mind concentration.
· Don’t work with a coach or therapist to expand your self-awareness.
· Aren’t getting 8-9 hours of sleep most nights.
· Don’t exercise 3-4 times a week on average.
· Don’t regularly ask questions.
· Lead other people and are not modeling the above behaviors.
You and your team are ill-prepared for the future.
WHY? Information and knowledge are easily attainable today and has become commoditized, therefore individuals have to find other means to differentiate themselves in today’s modern business world.
In these uncharted times, insight to make ethically sound, strategic business decisions that are sustainable is what is essential. Insight is a more mature knowing that goes beyond knowledge and experience. It entails accessing your intuition. Unfortunately, intuition is an underdeveloped skill for most of us.
McKinsey & Company, Harvard Business Review, and University of Chicago have conducted studies that have found that intuition plays a role in executive decision-making. That’s not to say that executives rely solely on their intuition to make decisions, because they also use data and information. But due to the acceleration of technology, this is the first time in history that we have so little information about how the world will look in twenty years, and historical data won’t provide us with the same level of guidance as it once did.
Knowledge is heightened by the development of your intuition.
· It guides decision-making when faced with ambiguous or incomplete information.
· It helps individuals sense shifts in the environment and anticipate future trends.
· It enables quick decision-making by drawing upon accumulated knowledge, experience, and instincts.
· It helps leaders understand the unspoken needs and motivations of their teams, fostering trust, collaboration, and engagement.
The practices I listed at the beginning of this post, help cultivate and strengthen intuition. If you are seriously interested in developing your intuitive capacity, I highly recommend working with a coach or therapist because they are trained to ask powerful questions to help you access your intuition.

I'm listening to my niece, Aimee Malzahn, defend her thesis for her Ph.D. on developing plant genome engineering systems to help grow healthy, sustainable food. So proud of her! Also a shout out to past and current people supporting women in science.

Mental Health is joining the pantheon of no brainers in business.
Changing the Mindset About Mental Health, Well-Being, and Humanity in the Workforce
When Simone Biles dropped out of five of the six finals in the 2020 Olympics, she received predictable backlash on social media. Even under the intense scrutiny of her decision, she went on to win a silver and bronze medal.

18 years ago I was at a really low point in my life. It also happened to be the starting point of my chrysalis. I have emerged a much more authentic, open, curious, and empathetic person.
Would I go through that low point again to be where I am today? Without a doubt.
Would I be doing what I love if I hadn't gone through it? I don't see how I could.
Was it easy? No. Real transformation rarely comes through success.
An old medieval adage has it that, "suffering is the fastest house to completion."
