    Episode 18: Sustainable Balance

    Balance is a word we hear a lot and many of us struggle with finding this “so-called” work/life balance. In this episode we talk about how to create sustainable balance. This means that we are not always directing an even amount of energy in the right direction daily, but we are making sure to devote some energy to those things that are important. We discuss identifying the important things in life and then finding ways to make sure those are not always receiving the least amount of time. This episode comes at a good time as we start to heading into the busy holiday season.

    Episode 17: Bring the Energy

    We decided to change it up a bit and review a book.  “The Energy Bus” by Jon Gordon was a nice quick read providing some actions you can take to create better energy at work.  This is more than just being in a good mood at work, but how to infuse energy into teams. This energy will help create greater success for both the individual and your team long-term. Website & To Purchase the Book: http://jongordon.com/books/theenergybus/

Job are like relationships and sometimes it’s just time to go, but making that decision can be difficult.

We travel with our guest Nate, as he arrived at the decision to leave a company he was at for nearly 12 years. Nate discovered how building community helped him to assimilate into a new role and company. What made this episode so engaging was Nate’s willingness to be so honest, open and authentic.
