A runner, a book from the 90's, and fractional work
|
Heya Reader! We are inching EVER closer to the launch of my new website. I have been itching to share it with you! My team meets this week to get all the final ducks in a row, and I'm feeling SO full-on impatient! With the elections coming up on Tuesday, I've been wanting to have something fun and hopeful to share. Watch this space for updates! Meanwhile, let's talk about a guy named Jim. Jim Fixx literally wrote the book on running. He quit smoking, ran marathons, and inspired an entire generation to lace up their shoes. Then he died of a heart attack at 52. I've been thinking about him as I hear more about leadership burnout. Because a company can still be “running well” on paper while something vital inside it is deteriorating. Profit matters! But fixing profitability doesn't automatically make a company healthy. In this week's post, I connect Jim Fixx, a book my boss handed me in the ’90s, and the experienced people I now see reluctantly marketing themselves as “fractional.” Leadership Burnout: Your Company Can Be Profitable and Still Be Unwell What is keeping those numbers “healthy” costing the rest of the company? It's a question worth asking yourself, especially if you're considering a change in direction. Until next time, -Lisa P.S. The archive all access pass is still available until Halloween. Now's the time, if you want it. Installment plans are available. Just let me know! |

Howdy Reader! The Creative Freedom Retreat is behind us! What an amazing week with some brilliantly gifted leaders. I can't wait to see what next year's event will look like. Actually, I can. In fact, I intentionally took time away from the socials during and after the retreat just to create some breathing room. Jim and I watched the new Matchbox movie with John Cena the other night. Pure brain candy. We loved it! But while I was watching, I started wondering... Mattel spent decades making...
Howdy Reader! When I was a kid, I would wrangle the neighbor kids and charge them money to watch me perform. Every holiday party or family gathering, I was doing the "look at me!" thing to anyone who would watch. I could usually get a few well-meaning aunts to pay attention for a song or a dance, but invariably someone in the room would try to shame me into silence. I was showing off, too loud, too big for my britches, or whatever their story was. Never mind my talent or ambition. I was just...
Hey Reader! I’m heading into the home stretch on a couple of BIG things around here. The new website is almost ready. The new speaker reel is coming together. And I’m getting closer to showing you what this next chapter of my work actually looks like. I can't give you all the details yet, because my brand strategist would throttle me. 😉 But there’s something important I want you to know about the Creative Freedom Archive All-Access Pass: it's still growing. Yes, you’re getting more than 20...
