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,Making an impact takes time. The average overnight success takes 10 years. This week's newsletter shares ideas that have helped me. It's never too late to start. As Confucious said, "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is today." Three Time Management Principles that Changed My Life Photo: orebrik Read on the Blog Life-changing is a pretty strong term. But it’s true. I am not a list person.

Hi Reader, The Importance of Family Position Photo: Depositphotos Read on the Blog Have you ever wondered why you always seem to play the same role in your family, no matter how much you try to change? In the last post I mentioned that your position in your family of origin is important. I don’t mean sibling position, although both Murray Bowen and Edwin Friedman considered this to be an important factor in functioning. However, some think that sibling position as a determinant of functioning...
Hi Reader,This week's post is a reminder that when you get frustrated with people, look at the systems in which they function. It has more to do with it than you think. A Tale of Two Systems Photo: eskaylim via yayimages Read on the Blog In two consecutive days, I had back-to-back experiences with Motor Vehicle and a large bank. Which do you think was worse? It wasn't what I expected. Both experiences were related to my work as the executor of a family member's estate. One task was to...
