Last week I shared the Change Formula and why vision is the missing ingredient in sustainable transformation. Several of you asked about the why behind this—what's actually happening in our brains when we create compelling visions? The answer is fascinating and explains why some people can transform effortlessly while others stay stuck in cycles of doubt and fear. Learn the neuroscience behind vision-driven change and how to create visions that live in your nervous system, not just your head.

Smart, capable leaders often know what they need to change but fear making significant moves. The missing piece isn't willpower or better strategies—it's a vision compelling enough to pull you through resistance. Discover the Change Formula that explains why some people transform with ease while others stay stuck, and learn how to create the kind of vision that makes change inevitable instead of effortful.

Successful leaders often describe feeling like they're "going through the motions" or "making decisions in a fog." When the very adaptability that helped you thrive starts drowning out your inner voice, it's time to reconnect. Learn three practical strategies to recalibrate your internal compass and lead from authentic confidence again.

There's a shadow side to being good at reading rooms and adapting to what others need. The line between healthy adaptation and losing yourself entirely is thinner—and more dangerous—than most of us realize.

We all know someone who can walk into any room and instinctively know what's needed—maybe that someone is you. This chameleon-like adaptability can open doors and build careers, but when does it cross the line from authentic flexibility to exhausting people-pleasing? Explore the benefits and shadows of being highly adaptable, and discover reflection exercises to help you understand your own patterns.

When embarking on significant professional transitions, our mindset shapes our reality more than we realize. The nocebo effect—the 'evil twin' of the placebo effect—occurs when negative expectations create real obstacles, even without any active cause. Studies show this effect can DOUBLE your chances of failure! Discover how executives and entrepreneurs can recognize and overcome this hidden saboteur to navigate transitions with confidence.

As the holiday season swirls around us with its festive demands and endless to-do lists, we’re all searching for ways to preserve our precious energy. If you are in virtual meetings a lot, I’ve got a simple tool that is pretty painless to implement and backed by TONS of science.​

Every time you join a virtual meeting, you’re likely facing not just your colleagues, but also yourself. That little window showing your own face might seem harmless, but it’s actually creating a subtle but significant energy leak in your daily routine.

Have you ever had an in-person conversation while holding up a mirror to your face?

There’s something fascinating happening in the scientific world. Researchers studying everything from forest ecosystems to business innovation are uncovering an unexpected pattern – one that might just change how we think about success itself. For generations, we’ve been taught that getting ahead means being the strongest, most assertive, most relentless. It’s a narrative that runs deep in our culture, loosely borrowed from a simplified version of Darwin’s theories. And we can certainly find plenty of evidence for this explanation of success in our world today.
