There's always a trade-off.
If you can't name your sacrifices, you're still hoping you can have it all.
The sooner you abandon this illusion, the better.
Name the price.
You'll know you're honest if it stings.
In the short-run, great managers, coaches, and leaders adjust their strategy to fit their players.
In the long-run, great managers, coaches, and leaders recruit players to fit their strategy.
"Think about your career as a work of art — expansive, independent movements that incrementally reveal a whole." A great reminder for the #ChiefofStaff community. @ZainabGhadiyali, you an inspiration! @firstround, great profile!

Simple question to find work you love: What do you enjoy refining?
Many people get excited to do something once, but ultimately get bored.
It’s the areas you can’t help yourself from rethinking, revising, reorganizing, and optimizing where you have a long-term advantage.
L&D can no longer keep up with the fast pace of change. It’s time to adopt a new model of workplace learning where everyone takes responsibility for their own self-improvement and self-development, enabled and supported by both managers and L&D. https://t.co/7xqhHukjBo
Getting exceptional outcomes in life is often about knowing when to turn it on and when to turn it off.
When to rest v. when to train hard.
When to save v. when to invest.
When to talk v. when to listen.
When to act v. when to wait.
It’s not the act, but the timing of the act.
Changing habits:
Pick one thing. Cultivate a desire. Visualize it.
Plan a sustainable path.
Identify needs, triggers, and substitutes.
Tell your friends.
Track meticulously.
Self-discipline is a bridge to a new self-image.
Bake in the new self-image. It’s who you are, now.
