Overthinking is killing your success.

Not because you’re too smart.
Not because you’re too careful.
But because you’re trapped in your own mind.


And the worst part? You don’t even realize it.


There are three types of overthinking that silently sabotage your decisions, productivity, and confidence:

🔴 Rumination – You obsess over past mistakes, replaying them in your head like a broken record.
🔵 Future Tripping – You stress over what might happen, constantly planning for worst-case scenarios.
🟢 Overanalyzing – You get stuck in endless research, seeking the perfect answer but never taking action.


Sound familiar? Here’s how to break free:

✔ Schedule “worry time” – Instead of letting stress consume your day, confine it to 15-30 minutes at a set time.
✔ Use “temporal distancing” – Picture yourself five years from now. Will this problem even matter?
✔ Embrace “satisfying” – Stop chasing perfection. Make a decision that’s good enough and move forward.


The mind is a powerful tool—but only if you control it.

Which type of overthinking do you struggle with most?  ⬇️

Talks about #leadership, #teamdesign, #thegcindex, #futureofwork, and #virtualteams

Great conversation with KAJ Masterclass LIVE and it's host Khudania Ajay - Come, Let's Go LIVE 

It was a pleasure to join the podcast and share stories about building self-sufficient teams.

95% of organizations are getting zero return on AI investment (MIT State of AI in Business report)


And most AI projects don’t fail because of the tech.

They fail because leadership hasn’t adapted.


Next Monday I’m hosting a 30-minute LinkedIn Live for executives who want to lead AI transformation responsibly — especially in regulated, high-trust industries.


We’ll cover:
→ The outdated leadership mindset quietly slowing down progress
→ 5 essential executive capabilities for 2025–2026
→ How to build AI fluency without drowning in technical detail
→ What real AI governance looks like — beyond technical controls


Joining me:
✅ Felicia Burtscher — ML expert in biotech/health, contributor to the EU AI Act
✅ Yuri Mariotti — AI strategist focused on ethics and digital transformation


This session is built for CEOs, risk leaders, and decision-makers navigating AI in sectors like healthcare, finance, telecom, biotech, and government.

Join us next Monday and follow AI Leader’s Compass for more events and insight like this

If your team can’t make a move without you… that’s not leadership. That’s a bottleneck.
 
 
I had an incredible conversation with Kelly Callahan-Poe on the The Two Marketing Moms Podcast about how overloaded leaders can stop carrying their teams—and start empowering them.
 
 
We went deep on:

→ Why great leaders connect people, not just manage them
→ Why being the “go-to” person is actually hurting your team
→ The 5 pillars of a self-sufficient team (from my book Clicking)
→ What happens when leaders accidentally isolate their teams—despite good intentions
→ How to lead with hybrid intelligence (hint: AI is powerful—but so is human connection)
 
 
If you want to build a team that moves fast, solves problems together, and doesn’t burn you out in the process…

Here are 5 hidden gems on Amazon right now — part of the Kindle Flash Sale.
 

These books are not loud or flashy. But they’re full of real insight, shared by people who’ve lived what they write.
 
 
📘 LAUNCH Your Book! by Robbie Samuels https://lnkd.in/eubjPFyx
 
This one really helped me when I was launching my own book. Clear strategies you need way before you’re ready to publish. Don’t wait till the last minute for this.
 
 
📘 Tech-No to Tech Pro by Leila Kubesch https://lnkd.in/e2V3Pbn4
 
If you’ve been wanting to show up more online but don’t know where to start — this is your playbook. A kind, practical guide to being visible without feeling fake.
 
 
📘 Reframing The Leadership Dance by Stacey Larsen https://lnkd.in/ezuAZmWv 
 
This one’s not for everyone. It’s for leaders who are ready to look deeply at their own patterns — and try a more gentle, reflective approach to leadership.
 
 
📘 Write. Publish. Market. by Jodi Brandon https://lnkd.in/eQEnbbRG
 
Another great one if you’re thinking about writing a book but have no idea where to start. She covers the practical stuff — word count, page length, timelines — and how to turn your book into a real asset.
 
 
📘 Reimagining Workplace Well-Being by Jessica Grossmeier https://lnkd.in/eU_8S_EH 
 
This one naturally stood out to me — it aligns so closely with the work I care about: helping people create better, more human workplaces.
   
 

 
And of course — my book is still part of the sale:
 
CLICKING: A Team Building Strategy for Overloaded Leaders Who Want Stronger Team Trust, Better Results, and More Time

Here’s a simple tool that will finally help your team focus, and do what’s right.


Most teams are drowning in urgency.

Everything is “important.”
Everything is “urgent.”
And somehow… nothing moves forward.

This is the urgency trap, and it’s killing your team’s focus.


We’ve all used the Eisenhower Matrix:
✔️ Urgent & Important → Do
✔️ Not Urgent & Important → Plan
✔️ Urgent & Not Important → Question
✔️ Not Urgent & Not Important → Drop


Great in theory. But it never worked for me in practice - unless you upgrade it.

Here’s how we turned a this framework into a strong team decision tool.


5 ways to enhance the Eisenhower Matrix for real-world team execution:


1. Find the Center of Gravity
Notice where most tasks land.
If everything’s in “Do,” it’s a red flag.

Ask: “Are these truly urgent and important - compared to each other?”
→ This question alone changes everything.


2. Add Effort Labels
Urgent ≠ Feasible.

Label tasks by effort (S / M / L / XL).
That “Do” item might need 40 hours - does your team actually have that capacity?


3. Score by Impact (1–5)
High noise ≠ high value.
Impact scoring reframes the conversation:

→ What actually moves the needle?
→ What just makes us feel busy?


4. Apply the 80/20 Rule
Only 20% of tasks drive 80% of outcomes.

Identify them. Prioritize them. Protect them.
→ That’s how you stop being busy and start being effective.


5. Set a Limit for “Do”
Draw a line: 3–5 tasks max.

This forces focus and exposes tradeoffs.
→ If it doesn’t make the cut, it’s not a priority.


This isn’t just task sorting.
It’s a team-wide upgrade in how you think, align, and win together.


You know what my favorite part it?

By engaging in this conversation, you don’t just get your priorities straight.
You get the right work done.
And you build stronger trust, shared clarity, and a deeper understanding of what makes your team great.


✨ That’s how good teams become exceptional.
Not by doing everything,
But by choosing the right things together.

If your team’s buried in “urgent”…
You don’t need more time.
You need better filters - and a shared sense of what really matters.




P.S. Curious—how do you prioritize when everything feels important? 

It's all in my new book CLICKING: A Team Building Strategy for Overloaded Leaders Who Want Stronger Team Trust, Better Results, and More Time

88% of organizations are using AI. Only 6% are seeing real value.
(McKinsey, 2025 State of AI Report)
 
 
And that 82% gap is not a tech problem.
It’s a team and org design problem.
 

Here’s what we’re getting wrong:
 
→ Teams are prompting before they think
 
→ Leaders are delegating decisions they should be owning
 
→ People are clinging to tools instead of solving real problems
 

 
In this week’s Meaning Makers Newsletter, I break down:
 
✅ What high-performing teams do differently
 
✅ How to avoid “AI-induced disengagement”
 
✅ Why the order of work matters more than the tools
 
 
If you lead a team—or support leaders who do—this one’s a must-read.
