Inspiring Workplaces 
The Way Work Ought to Be!

#1,113- February 25, 2026

Here's a simple but effective ten minute "Fear Reframing" exercise courtesy of entrepreneur Tim Ferriss: 

1. Ask yourself three questions: "What's the worst thing that could happen if I face my fear?", "How can I prevent it?", and "If it does happen, how can I fix it?

2. Now consider all the benefits of moving forward. Make a list!   

3. Visualize your life if you don't act 6 months, one year, and three years from now.  

According to author Daniel Pink the reason this exercise works is it makes fears more concrete, it helps you formulate an action plan, and it reveals the cost of inaction! 

If you want less soul-sucking meetings and more inspiring, effective, and fun meetings that fuel results, then you need to attend my virtual presentation happening next week - Thursday, March 6th: You've GOT to Start Meeting Like This! 

I'll share the surprising reasons why so many workplaces have too many meetings; how to ensure everyone has a real voice in your meetings; creative ways to make sure everyone shows up on time; the power of the "activation principle;" the unconventional way Flickr ensures their meetings end on time; fun ways to flip those annoying meeting pet peeves on their head; how single purpose meetings can drive better results; and why Ha + Ha in your meetings leads to more AHA's!    

If you can't make the live event you'll still have access to the recording. You'll also receive the handout 62 Ways to Add Fun to Your Meetings, AND you'll get a 50% discount code to access my Mastering Workplace Conversations recording.
