Happy Friday! ☀️
Getting ready to jump into our bi-monthly ForChiefs Day where we invest a day into ourselves to grow and cultivate our professional home together. Had a great and rewarding week and reunited with fav clients Bio Company and Sunshine Live.
What I’m reading 📖
Core to my work as a coach and facilitator (we call us ‘sidekicks’ at ForChiefs) is to help leadership teams define their company values. We’ve developed our own approach to it inspired by numerous sources who have written about company values. One article I keep coming to and that I recommend whenever I can is this Harvard Business Review article about the different types of values. Validate!
What I’m listening to 🎧
Benedict Wells has written some of my favorite books who all have moved me to tears. He lives a hermit-like life and rarely speaks publicly so I devoured this conversation between Benedict and my friend Matze where he gives insight into his mind that made me wish that we could hear more from him and more often.
What I’m watching 📺
‘Peaky Blinders’ is back with its sixth and final season and watching the first four episodes, I realized how much I missed the characters and the moody plot and music and that I will likely miss the Peaky Blinders universe when they complete the series. Until then, let’s enjoy the Shelbys. Watch the trailer.
What I’m thinking about 🧠
Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you everything. – Matt Haig
What else?! 💯
A few weeks ago I was a guest on the ‘Teams at Work’ podcast by Bunch.ai to speak about my journey into leadership, the difference–in my view–between managers and leaders, some practical tips for leaders, and a bunch more. Listen!
Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!
