Your sweet spot brings you to life. Your sweet spot goes beyond feeling good to doing good. How do you help? Who do you help? What do you help with? Find your sweet spot. Here's how. ## [Don’t Poke a Toxic Boss](https://leadershipfreak.blog/2026/08/19/dont-poke-a-toxic-boss/) _2026-08-19 · Dan Rockwell · Leadership Freak_ The most important relationship at work is with your boss. You can’t defeat a toxic boss with resistance. Don't pull away. Silence invites interference. You thrive in life when you thrive under less-than-ideal circumstances. Here's how to manage a toxic boss. ## [Coaching Questions that Work](https://leadershipfreak.blog/2026/08/18/coaching-questions-that-work/) _2026-08-18 · Dan Rockwell · Leadership Freak_ Some questions focus on situations. What happened? What’s wrong? What do you want? Begin with situations, but don’t park there. Coaching questions turn attention to the person. Problems are mirrors that help us see ourselves. Don’t rush to solutions. Make space for people to notice themselves.

Uncertainty means you can’t predict the future. Clarity shapes your actions. You can’t predict outcomes. You can choose direction. Turbulence is no place to ad lib. How to face turbulence like a leader?

Here's how to lead people into their power. ## [But I Don’t Feel Like It](https://leadershipfreak.blog/2026/08/13/but-i-dont-feel-like-it/) _2026-08-13 · Dan Rockwell · Leadership Freak_ Feelings deserve attention, not control. Choose the good life even when it feels bad. Asking for forgiveness feels uncomfortable. Discipline restricts choices. Courage is acting while feeling uncertain. Don’t confuse discomfort with harm. It may be advantage. Notice your feelings but live on purpose. Here's how... ## [End Destructive Accountability](https://leadershipfreak.blog/2026/08/12/end-destructive-accountability/) _2026-08-12 · Dan Rockwell · Leadership Freak_ Accountability fails when leaders monitor tasks and neglect people. Tasks matter. The goal is to elevate performance while nudging people toward their potential. Commitment precedes accountability. Responsibilities can be assigned. Ownership can’t be forced. Accountability is done with people, not to people. End Destructive Accountability! ## [Time Management is Self-Management](https://leadershipfreak.blog/2026/08/11/time-management-is-self-management/) _2026-08-11 · Dan Rockwell · Leadership Freak_ You don’t need more time. You can’t create more time. The second hand never negotiates. Time management isn’t about getting more done. It’s about doing what matters. Time management is self-management. Self-management is the second thing you do.

What happens when thinking together with deep attention becomes alive, unfinished, and shared? And what might joy, as the fruit of a thinking environment, make possible in the wider world? I was first reminded of this at a gathering in Somerset last year, where Satish Kumar (pacifist, ecologist,… ## [The Captain Class: How the New York Knicks and Warren Buffett Win](https://drstephenleebphd.substack.com/p/title-a6d) _2026-06-18 · Stephen Leeb, PhD · Stephen Leeb, PhD \> Turbulent Times Investor News_ The Power of Team-First Leadership ## [A Relational Retreat in the Old Kitchen](https://servanemouazan.co.uk/a-relational-retreat-in-the-old-kitchen/) _2026-05-11 · Conscious Innovation · servane mouazan – conscious innovation_ What Happens When Women in Social Finance Slow Down Together?

Through slow noticing, feel what… ## [Letter to a Leader Coach #1](https://servanemouazan.co.uk/letter-to-a-leader-coach-1/) _2026-04-21 · Conscious Innovation · servane mouazan – conscious innovation_ Dear Leader I came out of a couple of coaching sessions today with leaders wondering how to be in relationship with their team members in a way that is focused and supportive, while still allowing space for exploration, autonomy and creative thinking… especially when the answers aren’t yet downloadable or accessible for the team member… The onus isn’t only on the team member. Something essential… ## [Commitment Rethought](https://servanemouazan.co.uk/commitment-rethought/) _2026-03-26 · Conscious Innovation · servane mouazan – conscious innovation_ Commitment is rarely about discipline alone. It lives in relationships, conditions, and what remains unspoken when we say yes… Here’s why. I had a very cool gathering with team coaching colleagues this week on Commitment.
