Moments Before the Big Meeting

Moments Before the Big Meeting

Murphy’s Law is like that ex-boyfriend who appears out of nowhere at your most vulnerable moments at work: the moments before big presentations, conference calls, deadlines, and interviews. Chad just pops up in those moments and cooly says, “Hey!” Don’t blame Chad; it’s Murphy’s Law – what can go wrong will go wrong.

Learning: Be kind to yourself if something goes wrong in a key moment. It happens so often that it has a name – Murphy’s Law.

Does this resonate with you? Have you ever experienced Murphy’s Law? We’d love to hear from you.

The Invisible Truth

The Invisible Truth

“Transparent” has recently been used interchangeably with “authentic.” I think it’s an odd one because no leader is going to be “transparent.” They should share ‘the why’ for any critical business decision, but no one should expect any leader to share everything.

Learning: When change comes, it’s natural to want more information, but if your leader or boss is giving you ‘the why’ of a business decision, that’s the best place to start. Aiming for “full transparency” is often just a delay tactic. If you are a leader, there is much more to an authentic leader who builds trust and credibility than being “transparent.”
