Life is Work

This week we explore the importance of transitions and discuss how we can set ourselves up for success during these important moments.

Welcome to the new calendar year. We kick off 2021 with a check in on your goals, resolutions, and discuss how we're creating ways to prioritize ourselves.

This week we're taking a break from the work to provide you with a look at our nonsense. We believe in people being themselves at all times, and wanted to share some times where our silliness didn't quite make the cut, but it was still a lot of fun to make.

As we close out the calendar year, we chat about the concept of resolutions, including the common pitfalls with new years resolutions and how to build in opportunities for renewed commitment to your goals all year round.

This week we're taking a break from the work to provide you with a peek behind the curtain of our recording process. You get to listen in on how we usually don’t get it right on the first take, and that editing is magic. We have a great time making this and hope to share a little of our silliness with y'all!

Even with modern technology and the internet, scheduling meetings is still a giant pain for most of us. This week we discuss how to better address some of the cultural and adaptive issues that make scheduling difficult, and how to combine these tools with our technical tools to make the whole process more efficient.

As we are right in the middle of the US holiday season, we spend this week chatting about which holidays we celebrate at work - and why - and how we can better celebrate all of our teammates.

This week we explore the concept of micromanaging - what it usually looks like, why it usually occurs, and how to manage it if it happens. And if we are the ones doing the micromanaging (let's be honest, it happens!) we chat about how to redirect our efforts into a more productive management style.

It's Thanksgiving week in the US, so we spend some time in our mindfulness series chatting about gratitude. Gratitude helps us feel more connected to our world, and creates a more balanced mind. We also pass along some learnings about the Thanksgiving holiday and how we can better honor and celebrate Indigenous peoples.

This week we chat about internships and how they're often well intended, yet poorly executed. We discuss better understanding the goal of internships, the current issues with them, and how to better maximize our time for the intern, ourselves, and the work.
