Each week, I compile the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..
Jen Colletta:
“Why are 92% of execs unprepared to lead change?” (2-9-26).
“In particular, executives struggle to demonstrate the underlying behaviors associated with driving change, including empathy, emotional engagement and influence, researchers found.”
……..
Ludmila N. Praslova:
“Life Is Hard, Savor Your Joy Anyway” (2-7-26).
“Research on ‘savoring’ shows that when people intentionally notice and linger on these tiny good moments, their well‑being rises, and their capacity to cope with stress improves, even in the storms of life.”
……..
Travis Bradberry:
“10 Signs It’s Time to Quit Your Job” (11-7-25).
“We all get a case of the Mondays from time to time, but if even thinking about your job fills you with dread, it’s probably time to leave. Don’t keep telling yourself you’re having a bad week if what you really have is a job that’s a bad fit.”
……..
Gregg Vanourek:
“The Cost of Conflict Avoidance: A Leader’s Guide to Productive Conflict” (2-10-26).
“Search for the underlying competing values and perspectives that are blocking progress. The aim is to help people engage across their differences in ways that generate learning and movement toward solutions, not venting or avoidance. Conduct the meeting such that people build on each other’s points and keep moving forward toward clarity and insight.”

Luke Hodson:
“How to stay positive when it never stops raining – a psychologist offers tips” (2-13-26).
“On a more philosophical level, we can be grateful for things or concepts too – for example, nature. Recent evidence has shown that grateful-to-nature reflections can be just as effective at boosting wellbeing as other reflections of gratitude – in part by increasing your feelings of connection to nature. Even in a downpour, there are still many beautiful things to appreciate in the natural world around us, wherever you live.”
