Don’t Solve People’s Problems

Don’t Solve People’s Problems

Maybe you’ve been in this situation. You just shared about a problem that is going on in your life or a frustrating moment in your day with a friend. Their immediate response is to give their advice. How did that make you feel?
 
In today’s Sixty(ish) Seconds with Shawn, I share why great leaders (and friends) don’t solve other people’s problems right away and what to do instead.
 

 

The Power of Presence

My senior year in high school, my mom was probably the most influential person in my life. Want to know why?

In today’s Sixty(ish) Seconds with Shawn, I share that “why” and the powerful lesson she taught me a result. 

 

 

Feelings and Decision-Making

Feelings and Decision-Making

Feelings are real but they are not always truthful. So how do we not let our feelings get the best of us but also not completely ignore them?

Fear and Anxiety

Fear and Anxiety

Anxiety is the byproduct of fear. Something makes us afraid and then that creates anxiety. Our battle is not with anxiety but with fear. If you minimize fear, you will also minimize anxiety.

Fear is a real emotion and it shouldn’t be ignored or dismissed, but it also shouldn’t be completely trusted. Instead we should think of fear as our notification or alarm system. When we feel fear, we need to examine why. 

 

The First Step in Greatness

The First Step in Greatness

The Oscars were a week ago and I have to confess that I’m an awards show junkie. So I definitely tuned in. Golden Globes, SAG awards, Grammys, Oscars. I watch them all.
 
The reason I love watching awards shows is because you are arguably watching the best of the best.
 
And last month when I was watching the Golden Globes, Tom Hanks taught all of us a valuable lesson on what the first step to greatness is. I share about this first step in our latest Sixty(ish) Seconds with Shawn.
