Sustainable Productivity, according to the Leadership Circle “measures the leader’s ability to achieve results in a way that maintains or enhances the overall long-term effectiveness of the organization. It measures how well she/he balances human/technical resources to sustain long-term high performance.” To put that more simply, it’s continually growing and improving, embracing new ideas, and […]
It doesn’t take much for us to get distracted. Whether it’s a smartphone notification, birds chirping outside, or a co-worker asking if you have a minute, distractions are everywhere. But, is that necessarily a bad thing; we all want to stay focused. We can only focus for so long. In fact, we’re programmed to lose […]
Today — some say that anyone can be an influencer. That statement is not entirely true. But without an online calendar, it’s more than an uphill climb — it’s near impossible. To be an influencer, you have to “be” more than you are — you have to love people and care about them. But, when […]
For years, those of us who worked remotely relied on web and video conferencing tools to stay connected with our colleagues. Besides aiding in collaboration, they’ve also been essential in building rapport with our team members and clapping back against the loneliness that comes from remote work. However, stay-at-home orders have made these tools essential. […]
Virtual meetings have been around for years. But, thanks to COVID-19, they’ve exploded. Take Zoom, for example.

Sometimes we’re not as proactive as we would like to be. Maybe you’re waiting for some extra cash before committing to a home repair or business expansion. Perhaps you’re still gathering data before entering a new market. Both of those examples are understandable. But, turning a blind eye certainly is not. Yet, I feel that sometime, […]
Maybe it’s in my blood since my grandparents were exceptional globetrotters. But, I’ve always loved to travel. Getting to take in new sights and sounds, as well as have new experiences, is exhilarating. Additionally, it’s good for you physically and psychologically. It’s true. According to the American Psychological Association, research has found that vacations gave […]
Growing up, my mom dreaded summers. Sure, she enjoyed taking off from work for our annual two-week vacation. But, overall, it was almost impossible for her to work and have us around the house all day. Some parents have managed the long summer vacations through summer-long camps or daily childcare. Of course, not everyone has […]
You’ve tried it all. Morning routine? Check? Time management hacks? Yep. Tools ranging from planners to scheduling apps? Absolutely. And, yet, you still have a problem maintaining a schedule.
