    You want to create a great team or organization.
    But you are facing the challenge of a whole bunch of new people in your organization and on your team and so people are feeling disconnected – they don’t know each other. You are also needing to navigate a return to a hybid office of some sort where people can connect but people are resisting .
    What to do?
    In a word, culture. But culture is often misunderstood.
    Today, we discuss the biggest misconceptions people have about culture so you can use culture as the antidote it is to help your team and organization thrive.

    Using the Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life Episode 4

    Using the Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life Episode 4

    Ready to start setting more detailed goals? Not sure how to do it or where to start?

    In this episode, the 4th of our The Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life series, we go deeper into crafting our plan. We move from the work we did on our 3-Year Best Life Story to building our 1-year Plan to our 3-Month Focus to finally what we call our '1-Goals'.

    So we move from a wider, longer perspective to a narrow, shorter perspective so that we have a clear understanding of what will guide out activities for our next 3 months.

    Using the Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life Episode 2

    Have you lost momentum? Not as focused as you want to be? Falling into old habits that are not serving you? Feeling unmotivated and becoming frustrated? Well, you are not alone. It is so common to have moments like this when you feel like you are not living like you want to, not achieve all that you can.

    In this episode, the second episode of the The Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life series, we continue our journey of creating a plan to start anew, build momentum and create the kind of relationships, life and career we want. In this episode we dig into our story, bringing awareness to key parts of our life to better understand ourselves and set us up for success going forward.

    Using the Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life Episode 1

    Using the Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life Episode 1

    Are you wanting to be effective, get stuff done, maybe get in shape – take control of your life, but are finding that, instead, it seems you are losing focus, procrastinating, maybe feeling aimless or unmotivated and becoming frustrated? Well, you are not alone. It is so common that we have good intentions to do well, to be productive but fall off the horse, lose focus and have trouble getting going again.

    In this opening episode of The Science of Goal Setting to Build a Better Life, we provide you with an approach to start anew, a plan to help you build momentum and create the kind of relationships, life and career you want. We have used this approach with Olympic athletes for over 20 years. But you don’t need to be an athlete to benefit. You just need to be someone who wants to use the challenges they face as an opportunity to create a better version of themselves.

    2022 Year Review: What’s Going Well?

    2022 Year Review: What’s Going Well?

    Are you feeling stuck?

    Is part of the problem that you are feeling overwhelmed with all that you are doing and feeling too busy to look up, take your breath and consider how things are going?

    A good practice at the end of the year is to look back and reflect on how the year went. This is part of what helps us course correct. But it is important to make sure we focus not just on the negative but also on the positive.

    Given we are at the end of 2022, in this episode we give you a little exercise that you can do with your team, partner, family, to help you catch lessons from 2022 and build on the good stuff.

    Let’s walk!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
    - Ronald Laing

    We often spend so much time coping with problems along our path that we only have a dim or even inaccurate view of what’s really important to us.
    - Peter Senge

    The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but seeing with new eyes.
    - Marcel Proust

    If you want to build a ship, then don’t drum up men to gather wood, give orders, and divide the work. Rather, teach them to yearn for the far and endless sea.
    - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Fantastic Resource for Leaders

I’ve been listening to The Last 8% Morning for the last several years, and NOTHING has proved to be a better resource for centering my thoughts and providing guidance when facing change or difficult situations. As leaders and collaborators, no matter what your role or industry, you should be listening (and moving) to this podcast! I wish it was a daily podcast and not weekly (and completely understand why it’s not), but I will often listen to past episodes that correlate to whatever I’m facing that day. Give it try! It’s become a critical tool for me as a leader, and it will for you too! It has not been new episodes for quite a while, and I really hope JP brings them back!

Fabulous

Review

I have been listening to The Last 8% Morning since the podcast started and have included it in my daily morning dog walking routine. The principles and topics provide me with a solid foundation to focus for the rest of the day. I love it and routinely listen to past episodes. I can’t recommend this enough for people to listen to and follow

Great podcast to help develop Mental strength and mindfulness

I have been listening to JP’s podcasts and this is my week 3 and I can say it has helped me focus on things that are important versus the noise my mind makes all the time. It definitely gives you tools to have in your bag to deal with difficult situations. Thank you for the insightful sessions. I am every day feeling grateful for these podcasts.
