My new website is live: https://t.co/XMX0EzssBT

I’m excited to share it. This new site feels like a clear reflection of me, my work, and what matters most.

With everything happening these days, leading with authenticity, appreciation, and trust feels as important as ever.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

One of the questions I think leaders could ask more often is, “What do you need from me right now?”

Not what do I think you need, or what would I do in your situation, but what would actually be helpful to you?

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

We tend to be pretty good at celebrating the big accomplishments. The promotion, the new job, the major milestone, the thing we've been working toward for months or even years.

So, in the spirit of celebrating a little more often, I made a few awards.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

On this week’s episode of my podcast, I talk about the importance of keeping things in perspective and learning to “right-size” the situations we’re dealing with - especially the challenging ones.

One of the things that came up in my conversation on the Outlier’s Edge Podcast was something I don’t always love admitting: being good at something can sometimes make it harder to be a beginner again.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

One of the things I talked about recently on The Big Biz Show is how easy it is, especially right now, for us to focus so much on the pace of change that we forget to check in on the people experiencing it.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

I had a great conversation recently on the Outlier’s Edge Podcast about something I’ve been thinking about a lot these days: how we navigate all of this incredible technology without losing sight of what makes us human.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

On this week’s episode of my podcast, I explore the importance of staying grounded and paying attention to what’s actually happening, instead of simply defaulting to our usual patterns.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

There's a lot in the world right now that we can't control.

Technology is changing. Work is changing. The future feels uncertain in new and different ways.

It's easy to get caught up in all the questions we can't answer.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

The conversations that matter most don't usually happen on stage.

I've always loved speaking. Not because I enjoy hearing myself talk, but because of what happens when the presentation ends.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

One of the unexpected gifts of getting older is realizing that growth isn't just about adding things to your life.

Sometimes it's about letting things go.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

On this week’s episode of my podcast, I explore my own complicated relationship with desire, why often limit our dreams to what seems achievable, and how wanting more can coexist with appreciating what we have.

In case you're new here, I figured I'd give you a few reasons to follow me...or possibly unfollow me.

After more than 25 years of speaking, five books, 450+ podcast episodes, and a whole lot of conversations about life, there are definitely a few themes I keep coming back to.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

There's been no shortage of conversation about AI lately.

Some of it is exciting. Some of it is unsettling.

I don't pretend to know all the answers. But I do think we're asking ourselves an important question: What skills will matter most in the years ahead?

There's no question that AI is changing the way we work and live.

Like many people, I'm curious about what's ahead. I want to understand how these tools can help us be more effective, more creative, and more productive.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

On this week’s episode of my podcast, I talk with my friend and colleague, Shawn Vanderhoven, about his brand-new book...

Every once in a while, I find myself coming back to the same reminders. Not because I've mastered them, but because I haven't.

Life has a way of teaching us the same lessons in different seasons.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

Wisdom doesn't simply come with age.

It comes from paying attention.

Some of the hardest seasons of my life have also been the ones that taught me the most. At the time, I wasn't thinking about learning or growth, I was just trying to make it through.

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

One of the questions I hear leaders ask all the time is: "How do I motivate my team?"

It's an understandable question. But I wonder if we're asking the wrong one.

What if, instead, we asked: "What's getting in the way of people doing their best work?"

[Mike Robbins @mikedrobbins]

On this week’s episode of my podcast, I explore why the AI revolution has so much in common with the mergers, reorganizations, and major changes I've spent years helping companies navigate.
