  • Being a leader is very hard. Managers need to navigate the constantly changing business context with new strategic directives, employee turnover, new technology, etc. Outdated one-size-fits-all approaches to leading, irrespective of the team members' background, group dynamic, and leaders' personal needs and preferences. Conflicting priorities of different stakeholder groups that have to be juggled and combined without any adverse effects on the team's productivity. And as a cherry on the cake, the classical lack of time for leader’s important, yet not urgent tasks.

    I developed a simple framework and self-assessment that has been helping my clients and workshop participants to get out of overwhelm for over 3 years now. We break the complex leadership role into three dimensions and examine each of them. You quickly see the patterns - what are your strengths that you are ignoring but can leverage even more instead; which areas actually stress you out, and how can you put intentional effort into improving those.

  • For years, we have been discussing that mysterious work-life balance. Some manage to find it, often through a major crisis or burnout. Others don't resonate with the term and think it is counterintuitive. Yet if this term is so unhelpful, why is it so sticky?

    I am a nerd for definitions. And not the dictionary ones, but the ones each of us carry in our subconsciousness, defining the ways we think, act, react, dream, plan... well, do anything. So in this episode, we dive into exploration of the definition of "balance". I offer you a new perspective for this concept, to make it more flexible, playful, realistic, and useful in our everyday realities.
