Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

Remembering What’s Essential Amidst everything—in the middle of all that’s chaotic and painful about the world—what’s essential to your life? What truly matters now?
Maintain Your Center Throughout The Workday Some days can get away from you before you sit down at your desk, while other days can be a slog. As our days pull us along or come at us, we ride the waves of our own regulation. Being able to find our center when we get knocked off course can help us navigate the day with more ease and grace. 
Personal Practices That Work Beyond the latest app or spiritual gadget promising change, what are the practices that you turn towards to gain reflection that matter to you? What are the practices that support you in your life, and as a leader?
Here For It Having a space to be honest with our suffering is a gem. Finding someone to share it with, someone who can hold it with grace is a boon in life. Such connections are healing. Just our being able to bear witness not only to our own suffering, but the stories others hold is a healing bridge. 
Building Resilience Science tells us that the best time to meditate is not when it’s easy. Bringing mindfulness and perhaps even a pocket meditation for recentering to the situations when you are getting off-kilter, ungrounded, and upregulated are the moments that create more lasting change.
Finding Your Ground We’ve all been there: the feeling of groundlessness. By coming back home to ourselves, we feel more steady. The key is to unhook from the ride our anxiety takes us on.
The Lottery of Life If you imagine looking back on your life as it is now from your deathbed, what do you see? What would you change? What haunts you? 
Bodyfulness In leadership and in life, the body is a source of knowing and action. Failing to include the body in our experience of leadership and of being a leader, makes for disembodied leadership.
Splendid Isolation In a seemingly odd, but lovely pairing, joy and grief go hand in hand. One’s ability to feel the ranges and valleys of grief, the trembles from the soul that move through currents of sadness, means that one is also more able to experience great joy. Conversely, unfelt grief can dampen our joy circuits.
Defragmenting When we are out of alignment with our self, or out of rapport with ourselves, our life reflects that. Ask yourself: Where am I aligned? Where am I out of alignment with myself?
