Leading Projects through Relationship, Commitment Purpose©
Broadens its audience to all leaders.
As I updated the course description for LP two days ago I realized the course content I designed for Project Managers 10 years ago is now what everyone needs today. The ability at a very high level to influence all the people around you especially when you have no direct reporting relationship! This course has the most advanced psychological principals I have ever taught in them.

I am worried about you.
We are living with Pervasive Covid fatigue as another variant is making people I care about sick and making me worry about getting it, again. The great resignation causing chronic understaffing and long hours that never end. Companies are managed like cults where every single action feels like life or death. Too many clients working with private equity funding where the promise of having a life without financial worries has morphed into a pressure cooker of profit tyranny squeezing 18% profit, while pulling people off purpose. So many teens and younger kids suffering from anxiety and depression. The war in Ukraine. Political divisiveness in the US and around the world. Roe v. Wade being overturned. Fears of a catastrophic climate future. So many people in horrible shape with a future that keeps looking scarier.
What would historically have shown up as an opportunity to make a difference was just turning into an overwhelming pile of things I had to do. And people to take care of.
I believe I had done a pretty good job of negotiating the Pandemic for a very long time. Being locked down was just “retirement spring training” I quipped. But after two and a half years of Pandemic and the rest of the above, it is exhausting. Don’t get me wrong I think we were doing way better than most. All my skills and training have been used to keep above the fray for the most part. But the strain of it all, has taken its toll.
For one item on the pile, I had promised to watch a TED Talk a client in Florida had recommended. So begrudgingly I watched it to get in off my list. First off it was very funny, and I needed a laugh. The content presented a real possibility to get out of my funk. Watching that TED Talk turned to watching another Talk on the same topic and I was committed to trying the discipline that they proposed. It was free and fast, two of my very favorite things. It didn’t require an app and I didn’t have to sign up for anything.
I selected what I liked out of all the activities recommended. They have more than met their promise now 2 months later. I was excited enough to share it with some other clients and they have had good results too. If you know the items up in the first paragraph very personally, you are the one I am worried about. So, I offer these insights as my client in Florida did to me with a hope it will lighten your load and brighten your attitude as it has mine.
Here are the links to the TED Talks:
