Two for Tuesday - Holiday Break
|
Hi Reader, It's Christmas Eve and I figure most people won't be reading emails. If you celebrate Christmas, then Merry Christmas! So, no content this week. Just two recommendations. I'll be back next week with something to help you get a great start to 2025. Also, I apologize to those of you who received an incorrect email about an old Positive Intelligence offering. I AM doing one more program at 2024 prices, before my costs go up. The 7-week program begins January 3, 2025 and Pod (cohort) meetings will be on Monday or Tuesdays, depending on when everyone can meet. You can CLICK HERE for more details, but if you want to sign up, don't use the link on the webpage or you'll pay too much. My agreement with Positive Intelligence doesn't permit me to advertise the program on my website for less than $995. Instead, click either of these links too pay $495 or pay three payments of $195. Thanks! RecommendationsThis week I'm sharing two of my favorite Seth Godin posts of 2024. They're short and profound. The other choices | Seth's Blog (seths.blog) Most of the choices we make are "invisible" but still come with a cost. Set reminds us that we can do better. The grid of inquiry | Seth's Blog (seths.blog) If you want to innovate, this quick read is a must. In my mind, there is only one quadrant in the grid to avoid, but I find it helpful to know the nuances of the other three. Great stuff! PodcastEpisode 310 of The Non-Anxious Leader Podcast, 5 Ways You Can Grow as a Non-Anxious Presence – Part 2 of 2, is now available. That's it for this week. Thanks for reading. Peace, Jack P.S.

Hi Reader,This week’s post shares what I’ve found helpful when making important decisions. I hope it’s helpful. Thanks for reading. Uncertainty and Decision-Making Photo: rnl Read on the Blog I had a seminary professor say that if you wanted to do theology you needed to have a high ambiguity tolerance. What he meant was that so much of what we find in scripture leaves things open for interpretation. There’s much more gray than black and white. Therefore we have to be willing to live in the...
Hi Reader, This week I used AI to help me develop a blog post from one of my podcast episodes. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading. Reframing Anxiety: How to Make It Work for You Photo: YuriArcurs Read on the Blog Note: I asked AI to take Podcast Episode 193: How to Make Your Anxiety Work for You and turn it into a blog post. This is the result after my (human) edits. Anxiety is not an enemy to be eradicated. It is an evolved signal that prepares us to imagine and respond to the...
Hi Reader,I'm back! This week's post is a reminder that self-differentiation is not about what we do but whether we are clear about what we believe. Also, I was interviewed recently for The Church Renewal Podcast. It ended up being a two-part episode. The first segment, Leading with Courage, dropped last week. Part 2, Leading Through the Anxiety, drops this Thursday, October 16. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Be Careful How You Define Yourself Photo: erik3804 Read on the Blog “Now, with...
