Many of us believe that we perform at our best when the conditions and circumstances are "just right". We’re in our comfort zone, we’re on our second or third (or fourth) cup of coffee, and the wi-fi is flowing like fine wine. (Or something like that.) But that's not true. It’s an illusion. We think that is what we need to be our best – and we make excuses about those factors not being present all…
Alright, let’s be real. We’ve all been to one of those so-called ‘networking events’ where you slap on a name tag, shake a bunch of hands, and collect a small stack of business cards that you will—100%—never look at again. And if you’re thinking, ‘Nah, I totally follow up,’ let me ask you this: Do you remember the last three people you met at one of those things? Exactly. Today, we’re going to fix…
Ever been on a team where it feels like your team is disengaged, dysfunctional, uncooperative, or uninspired? Yeah, it sucks. It feels like no matter how hard you try, how much effort you put in, how much quality you strive for in your output, it’s just not enough. It feels like you just can’t win. I’ve been there too, and the pain is real. But let’s not sulk in this sad swamp of sullenness.…
November rolls around, and suddenly, gratitude is trending harder than pumpkin spice lattes. Here in the U.S., Thanksgiving sets the stage for feasting, gathering, and (hopefully) counting our blessings. For a few fleeting moments, we pause to reflect on the people and things we cherish most. But let’s face it: once the turkey’s gone and the holiday decor makes its way back into storage, (because…
Stop expecting so much from your employees, your family, and yourself. It’s a waste of time and a perpetual fountain of disappointment. Sounds ridiculous, right? But, hear me out. I’m not suggesting you lower the bar of what you’d like to see happen in those around you. And I’m certainly not asking you to stop pushing yourself to higher and higher levels. What I am suggesting is that you consider…
You’ve probably struggled at some point with the age-old enigma of time management. You’ve wrestled with the hours, but the hours always win. You know why? You’re fighting the wrong fight. Time management is not finding a way to manage time. It is finding a way to manage discomfort – the discomfort of maintaining focus. Not tasks, not time, but focus! Yeah, that’s right. I said it. You are not…
Hello, I'm Jimmy Glenos, the Life & Leadership Locksmith and welcome to Unlock the Shortcut. Today we take a departure from my typical format because I want to share a great conversation I had with a new friend of mine, Max Palomeque. Max is an Air Force Veteran, FBI Veteran, author, public speaker, certified leadership coach. His new book, the Infourge Compendium of Models and Theories for…
When we think of self-care, most of us imagine spa days, yoga, meditation, or maybe a well-deserved vacation—anything to break away from the grind. But here’s the question you didn’t know you needed to ask: Could time-blocking actually be the most powerful form of self-care? Even though we’ve all done it at some point, we don’t really enjoy time-blocking. And that’s probably because we don’t yet…
Are you looking forward to going to work today? Or do you feel a sense of dread or stress just wishing you could do anything else but go to work? It happens. Some days you’re ready to embrace the day, and other days you’re ready to race for the nearest exit. But what if you could find a way to embrace the day every day? Bring a little more fun into your life. What would that feel like? What could…
[Inhale ------ Exhale] Go ahead. You do it too. Take a nice deep breath. Come on…you know you want to. [Inhale ------ Exhale] That’s it. Feels good, right? Of course it does. You’re doing what comes naturally and easily with virtually no effort at all. Your body does this for you all day and all night automatically. Your brain keeps you alive and primed for peak performance via your breath. Don’t…
