'Doing the Most' season

Hey! September is nuts. Lotsa hustle in the air. Lotsa “let’s get back to it!” energy.

How does it sit with you? 

If it’s the jolt you need post-summer, lean into it. If it‘s making you unintentionally sign up for way too much work, please reassess.

Remember: We are done with burning out 🙅 Protect your peace—and you’ll end up being more productive anyway 💫 

Meeting hack

Free your mind

TL;DR: Tell the truth, and it will de-clutter your brain.

For example…

🤐 Are you presenting an unrealistic rosy outlook to your boss?

🤐 Are you shielding your team from “distracting” (negative) company info?

🤐 Are you deluding yourself into believing things are fine when really you’ve got a chronic under-performer you need to have a conversation with? 

You gotta tell the truth. Holding it in is adding mental weight and blocking you and others from making better progress.

What’s an uncomfy truth you can tell this week? (gulp) (we believe in u 💪)

This you?

Love an empathetic manager—but take your own advice! 

It's truly "not the end of the world."

It’s the end of this edition of theDL though. Bye!
