Rules of missed calls: If you do not leave a voicemail or follow up with an email or text, it is not important and doesn't warrant a call back (in most instances). ✌ 🔥 #lawyerwellbeing #bestadvice #gettingthingsdone #productivity

The 6 worst things to say in your cold emails

Changing the norm is also important here. Take the time to have a 'quick chat' about how things are going. Make it a wellbeing check-in, a genuine interest in thoughts and feelings about the direction of the department/team/organisation. Want your people to look forward to 'quick chats'.

Absolutely true! As the famous Peter Bromberg quote goes: "when we avoid difficult conversations, we trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction". It's unbrave. And too many of these decisions will eventually make us cowards. I've found this to be true in all scenarios - in romantic relationships, friendships, work scenarios, etc. The general theme of embracing discomfort also goes beyond this one-on-one scenario. It applies to just about everything - especially conversations with ourselves: - If you avoid the discomfort of exercise, you eventually become "weak" - If you avoid the discomfort learning, you eventually become "dumber" - If you avoid the discomfort of boredom, you eventually become an addict Stagnation/complacency isn't stationary, it's recessive. Over time, something will give - likely, our self esteem. We all have that inner voice that wants us to "do better" and "be better", and if there's one thing that's true, it's that we can't trick ourselves. Lean into the discomfort.
