When you’ve developed mastery of something, you own that thing. You’ve learned the rules inside-out and now you have the ability, as an artist, to create your own rules. You have the ability to create a new game.

Procrastination has been around since the start of modern civilization. Historical figures like Herodotus, Leonardo Da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Benjamin Franklin, Eleanor Roosevelt, and hundreds of others have talked about how procrastination is the enemy of results. One of my favorite quotes about procrastination is from Abraham Lincoln: “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today…….

Last year, I left my corporate life in New York City behind in a vow to give myself one year to design my dream job. Shortly thereafter, I took off on a 9-month-long social experiment, in which I would circumnavigate the globe by couch-surfing exclusively through my social network. Seventeen countries, four continents, and over a hundred encounters later, I have learned that I am not alone in my quest to earn a living while traveling the world: there are so many people out there right now who are making it work.

Let’s talk about meetings. Some of us spend up to 50% of our time in meetings — but despite their ubiquity, they somehow remain one of the most loathed forms of work on the planet. They don’t start on time; people randomly decide not to show up; there’s no focus or clear plan of action; and worst of all, everyone leaves the room and nothing ever comes of the time that was spent in the meeting. Can’t this be fixed? Yes, but not overnight. Not all meetings need to happen in the first place — as evidenced by the fact that Quip users go to fewer meetings than they used to. But Quip can also help you make huge improvements to the meetings that do have to happen. Here’s how……….

Last Thursday while I was sitting at my desk in downtown San Francisco, the sounds of protest filled my ears. Down the street in multiple directions, Marriott employees staged protests to fight for a living wage. And closer to the water at the Ferry Building, Bay Area Google employees joined their colleagues around the globe in walkouts over the company’s alleged protection of sexual harassers. Walkouts and demonstrations by both Google and Marriott employees come down to one central goal: Making your voice heard. Whether it’s over something big like executive action ……….

This is great, don’t get me wrong, but I think we need to focus more on continuous learning for all employees. This definitely would work in conjunction with upskilling programs, but as leaders who are trying to drive transformation, the onus is with us to encourage learning across the organization…….
You catch the aroma on Arthur Avenue as a happy shopper opens the door, left arm holding a huge, bulging bag of bread and cookies. Yes, this is the Madonia Bakery, in its way a symbol of New York as much as the Lower East Side, the High Line, and Rockefeller Center. New York, to New Yorkers, is the neighborhood, and increasingly these areas are being discovered by visitors to the Big Apple.

You can’t jump into the mind of the person sitting across from you in an interview and know exactly what they’re looking for. But there are, fortunately, some basic qualities most hiring managers think are pretty important across the board. In a survey of 800 people who have been responsible for interviewing and hiring at their company, Netquote put together some general observations about the process. The things we’ve always suspected as being personally important—like our creativity—are actually pretty low on the scale of the manager’s scale. Here’s what they actually do and don’t want to know……..

I do weekly sales training with my sales team to keep all my employees in sync with the mission. To help others reach success. But that doesn’t exclude my employees. I want my company not only to serve others, and help them reach financial freedom, but to also give that to my staff.

It is important to me that my employees are doing well, because it sells them even more on the idea of helping others reach the sales levels of success I have had in my career.
