Research leader @ Mayo Clinic | Follow me for insights on habits, productivity, and self-actualization | On a mission to normalize health

70% of American adults are overweight or obese. 
40% of cancers are preventable. 
72% of adults report health impacts due to stress.

I've worked with 300+ cancer patients as a health and wellness coach at the Mayo Clinic. 
And I've noticed a few things during this time:

-No one wants to be unhealthy
-Medications and procedures can keep you alive
-But it's lifestyle change that will help you build resilient health

And there's an unfortunate misconception out there that health is difficult to build. 
That "exercise" = self-imposed suffering
That "healthy foods" = kale smoothies
That joint pain is normal. 

But if you've got a demanding professional life, you need to implement low-friction habits and routines to preserve your health. 90 minutes at the gym 5x/week is not an option. 

This is the stuff I help people with. 
Simple health that will last a lifetime. 
So you can back to  your mission. 

Over the course of 12 weeks, we’ll develop habits and routines that will help you lose the weight, dissolve the stress, and reclaim your health. 
Should we talk?

Questions after yesterday's grocery store run:

Why do so many big grocery stores in the United States stink? 
Literally. They smell like rotting fruit, vegetables, and meat. 

Shouldn’t it be illegal to design a store such that you walk straight into the donut section as soon as you enter?

What if all the stuff that’s going to kill you (we’re not talking your mom’s homemade apple pie here; more concerned with super processed stuff like Twinkies) was in an aisle with caution tape at each end to warn you? 

Or maybe it’s behind a staffed counter where they check your ID to make sure you’re old enough to realize what you’re doing?

Is buying nicotine really worse than buying a bunch of Twinkies?

Many people have a well-paid job.

But something feels off:

Work is criticized, not nurtured.

Every meeting feels like a struggle.

Your voice isn’t heard or truly valued.

Sharing great insights from Elvi Caperonis, PMP®✨.

You can find a boss who makes all the difference.

You start to feel:

Supported,
Valued and seen,
And safe enough to take risks.

That kind of leader doesn’t just manage:

They help you grow.

Here’s what great leaders really do (and it costs nothing):

They ask how you’re doing, not just what you’re working on.

They give feedback that lifts you up, not tears you down.

They don’t micromanage - they trust and remove obstacles.

They understand people don’t quit jobs, they quit bad leadership.

A good paycheck can improve your life.

A great leader can transform your career.

If you lead others, that’s the legacy you leave.

If you’re stuck in a toxic environment,

Ask yourself:

Is this the right choice for your life?

P.S. How important is a great leader to you?

Sunday anxiety costs you more than you think.

It’s not just lost sleep; it:

Drains your health,
Damages relationships,
And hurts your performance.

Sharing great insights from Reno Perry.

The story repeats every time:

They tell themselves it’s “just stress.”
They hope things will improve.
They wait for the “perfect moment” to leave.

Meanwhile, their bodies keep score:

Confidence slowly fades.
Insomnia becomes routine.
Family gets the leftovers of their time and energy.

The truth is:

If you’re already dreading Monday on Friday, you’re in the wrong place.

Signs it’s time to consider moving on:

You’ve stopped growing.
Your efforts go unnoticed.
Your health is taking a hit.
You feel stuck playing small.
Your values clash with those in charge.

Worried about the job market?

Yes, it’s tough out there.

Hundreds of applications, ghosting, long waits.

But jobs are still available,
And people are still getting hired.

You just have to do it smarter:

1. Be targeted, not scattershot.
2. Find the real decision-makers, not just HR.
3. Reach out with messages that show clear value.
4. Demonstrate how you solve their specific challenges.
5. Focus on personalization over desperation.

While you’re searching, build yourself up:

‣ Track your wins every week.
‣ Share your knowledge online.
‣ Grow your network intentionally.
‣ Help others without expecting anything in return.

Protect your energy too:

‣ Do things daily that recharge you.
‣ Remember this phase is temporary.
‣ Talk with someone who understands.
‣ Set firm boundaries at your current job.

You didn’t reach your achievements by settling.

Don’t start now.

The right career isn’t a luxury.

It’s your right.

It’s waiting for you in a place that values you.

The question is:

Are you ready to go get what you deserve?

♻️ Share this with those who need to hear it today.

You don’t need a title to lead.

You just need to act.

Leadership isn’t for executives or managers.

It’s for anyone willing to step up.

The quietest person in the room can change a project with one question.

The newest hire can spark innovation others didn’t see.

You can lead from anywhere.

Here are 7 ways to lead, even when you’re junior:

1. Take initiative

Don’t wait to be told.

See a problem? Start fixing it.

2. Speak up

Notice a flaw or inefficiency

Say it. Your insight matters.

3. Help others

Notice a colleague struggling?

Step in. Support is leadership.

4. Lead by example

Show diligence, integrity, and consistency.

Others will follow.

5. Ask smart questions

Curiosity drives clarity.

Asking the right questions moves teams forward.

6. Own your mistakes

Admit them. Learn fast.

Teach others. Accountability inspires trust.

7. Influence, don’t demand

Guide decisions through ideas, empathy, and collaboration.

You don’t need authority to shape outcomes.

Leadership isn’t about rank or perks.

It’s about:

Integrity.
Courage.
Kindness.
And showing up when it matters.

Start today.

Right where you are.

Lead in a way that makes others want to follow.

P.S. How are you leading from where you stand today?

The best teams don’t talk about teamwork.

They just make it happen:

No one keeps score.
Everyone shows up.
Every single day.

Most believe great teams are built on:

Team-building activities
Compliance policies
Processes
Meetings

That’s just the surface.

Solid teams are based on something deeper.

Here are 10 ways top teams are built:

1. Trust goes both ways

When someone says, “I need help!”:

The answer is, “Sure, let me help.”

2. Respect is earned and given

Every voice matters.

Ideas win, not titles.

3. Care extends beyond work

They celebrate personal wins.

And show up during struggles.

4. Proactive ownership

Everyone steps up to solve problems,

Even if it’s not “their job.”

No waiting. No pointing fingers.

5. Psychological safety is non-negotiable

Disagree, question, innovate - without fear.

6. Mistakes are learning moments

Errors are acknowledged publicly.

And used to grow.

7. Culture is fiercely protected

Toxic behavior is addressed immediately.

8. Relationships are prioritized

Real conversations, not just updates.

9. Contribution beats credit

They ask, “How can I help?”,

Instead of, “What’s in it for me?”.

10. Shared purpose drives them

It’s about building something together,

Not just completing tasks.

When these principles align:

Work stops feeling like work.

It feels like creating something extraordinary,

With people who make the difference.

P.S. Which of these principles make your team unforgettable?

♻️ Repost to inspire your network to build top teams.

90% of companies fail at strategy execution.

So how does the top 10% get it right?

Here’s a powerful framework worth knowing:

The Strategy Pyramid, by Wendy McGuiness (2011).

It breaks strategy and execution into 9 pillars,

Grouped into 3 levels: Purpose, Strategy, Execution.

A) Purpose

1. Mission

Clarifies why the company exists.

Your core reason for being in business.

2. Values

Define principles that guide behavior and decisions.

The foundation of culture and ethics.

3. Vision

Describes the future you are building.

Clear direction. Real inspiration.

B) Strategy

4. Strategic Intent

Sets the overarching goals.

What success looks like and how to pursue it.

5. Drivers

Identifies what truly creates advantage.

Growth, innovation, efficiency, customer value.

6. Enablers

The capabilities that make strategy executable.

People. Capital. Systems. Technology.

C) Execution

7. Targets & Initiatives

Translate strategy into action.

Specific. Measurable. Aligned.

8. Performance Indicators

Track what matters.

KPIs that show progress and impact.

9. Strategy Map

Makes strategy visible and understandable.

Ensures alignment across the organization.

Together, this framework helps leaders to:

A) Define a clear purpose
B) Build a focused strategy
C) Execute with discipline

Every pillar matters.

Neglect one and the pyramid weakens.

Success starts in the mind.

Everything else follows.

This is especially relevant in strategy:

Tools and frameworks matter,

But mindset is where real change begins.

Sharing amazing insights from Jeroen Kraaijenbrink.

Here are 10 principles that shape strong strategy execution:

1. Bias to Action

Less thinking. More doing.

Align action with outcomes.

2. Progress Over Perfection

Perfect slows momentum.

“Good enough” moves you forward.

3. Choose What Matters

You can’t pursue everything.

Focus is a strategic decision.

4. Stay Adaptable

One plan won’t fit every scenario.

Test, learn, adjust.

5. Learn from Failure

Mistakes are feedback.

Fail fast. Improve faster.

6. Know When to Stop

Stopping isn’t losing.

It’s reallocating energy wisely.

7. Slow Down Before You Speed Up

Rushed execution creates friction.

Preparation simplifies action.

8. Keep Strategy Simple

Clarity beats complexity.

Focus. Execute. Move on.

9. Co-Create, Don’t Command

Involve people early.

Ownership drives execution.

10. Lead with Humility

You don’t have all the answers.

Others see what you might miss.

These principles create the foundation for execution that actually works.

Get the mindset right and action becomes natural.

P.S. Which principle do you need to apply more right now?

The biggest leadership challenge:

A gap between management and employees.

This disconnect creates serious problems.

Sidney Yoshida called it “The Iceberg of Ignorance.”

It shows that most issues remain invisible to senior leaders.

The research is striking:

Executives see only 4% of problems.
Middle management notices 9%.
Supervisors catch 74%.
Only front-line employees know almost everything.

The result:

Critical issues stay hidden from the people who can fix them.

Decisions are made on incomplete information,

Often failing to solve the real problems.

Example:

High employee turnover is tackled without staff input.

Solutions miss the mark or make things worse.

The root cause:

Poor communication and lack of direct engagement with employees.

To close the gap:

Listen to junior staff first.
Encourage open dialogue.
Gather and analyze real data.
Implement feedback systems.
Train teams on effective communication.
Collect useful insights from the ground up.
Ensure information flows in both directions.

Don’t decide blindly.

Employee insights often hold the key to real improvement.

P.S. Is your organization facing the Iceberg of Ignorance?
