Break Free From the Ordinary!

This week, it's time to break free from autopilot and embrace new possibilities. Whether it's in business, personal life, or relationships, stepping outside of our comfort zones can lead to incredible breakthroughs. Let’s challenge the status quo together, shall we?

Our brains love shortcuts, and while we need to rely on them to live our lives, if we aren’t thoughtful about them, these habits can also hold us back. Understanding how defaults work is the first step to overcoming them and creating intentional change. That’s why I dedicated Tuesday's episode of The Brainy Business podcast to the psychology of defaults.?

Today, we’re shaking things up with a truly extraordinary guest: Nobel Prize winner Dr. Robert Lefkowitz . Beyond his groundbreaking scientific achievements, Bob is a master of mentorship and innovation (he won his Nobel prize with one of his previous postdoctoral fellows...essentially his mentee. How amazing is that?).?

In this delightful conversation we explored how curiosity, a willingness to challenge assumptions, and a focus on relationships are essential for driving progress. From the lab to the boardroom, Bob's insights offer a fresh perspective on leadership and success.

Remember, progress often happens outside of our comfort zone.

Let's challenge ourselves to slow down, be more intentional, and ask more questions. Thoughtfulness can lead to better relationships and, ultimately, stronger teams who create a future for your company that’s anything but ordinary.

If you're interested in unlocking the keys to thoughtful leadership for your team, let's talk.

BE thoughtful,
