CEO Zones

Only rest when you're done? Caution: The Hidden Cost of Always Being 'On' I hear this from CEOs all the time. But here's the truth: You're never "done." Leadership isn't about being always available. It's about being fully present when you are. The real cost of being "always on": ? Depleted decision-making ? Reactive (not responsive) leadership ? Diminished creativity ? Shallow connections ? Burnout disguised as dedication The mindful solution? Strategic disconnection: ? Set "phone-free zones" in your day ? Create digital sunsets (no screens 1 hour before bed) ? Take actual breaks between meetings ? Practice saying "I'll get back to you" Remember: Your team doesn't need you to be available 24/7. They need you to be clear, focused, and present when you are. Leadership power isn't in constant connection. It's in intentional presence. __ PS - What's one boundary you'll set today? Share below. ?? ?? Please repost to help leaders find the off switch

Leadership requires staying grounded in the truth, no matter how challenging that may be. I've learned that stepping back to assess reality regularly helps keep me aligned with the bigger picture. It's easy to get caught in the daily grind, but pausing to reflect is crucial. The most successful leaders I know make reality-checking a deliberate practice, not an occasional event. How often do you pause to ensure your perceptions align with what's actually happening?

What an incredible trip I had with my son, Benton! We flew to Las Vegas on Friday, visited the breathtaking Grand Canyon on Saturday, and returned home to Atlanta on Sunday. It was a whirlwind of a journey! The highlight of the trip was our helicopter descent to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We then enjoyed a relaxing boat ride on the Colorado River before taking another helicopter back up. The views and perspectives from above were simply stunning. It all started with a simple question: “Where would you like to go that you’ve never been before?” I took the initiative to plan our first father-son adventure, and the experience was an absolute joy. It wasn’t so much about the activities we did, but rather the time we spent together that made it truly priceless. Here’s to our next adventure! #adventure #bonding #travel #relationships
