MBS.works

=> We help people be a force for change.

I’m looking for people ready to leave the world better than they found it.

•	Do you ever feel you have more to contribute?
•	Is it time to shake off complacency and shake things up?
•	Are you ready to challenge who you are today so you can grow into who you want to be?
•	Are you looking for ways to use your power for good?

This is self growth that goes beyond the self. 

MBS.works is where you find the confidence, the capacity, the community, and the ambition to be a force for positive change.

I'm feeling especially grateful after spending Thursday night in Toronto with 20+ HR Leaders.

I got a chance to discuss my upcoming book, "How to Work with (Almost) Anyone” and introduced the group to a concept called Best Possible Relationships (BPRs).

BPRs have 3 key qualities:

1. Safe (allowing people to show up as their best selves)
2. Vital (pushing boundaries and promoting growth)
3. Repairable (able to be fixed when things go wrong)

Every relationship becomes suboptimal at some point, whether it’s a good one that goes off the rails or one that was poor from the start. When suboptimal happens, most of us don’t know what to do about it. We blame them, or ourselves, or the universe (or maybe all three). We get all the feelings: sad, let down, irritated, frustrated. But mostly we are resigned to the fact that this is what happens: relationships always get a little broken, or a little stale, or a little worse. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre. Carry on.
 
But it doesn’t have to be like this. Every working relationship can be better!

Thank you so much to Frank Congiu and Moses Berkowitz for bringing me to this amazing group.

… and what to do if you’re not yet ready

Huge thanks to Mark J. Silverman for having me on his fabulous podcast, The Rising Leader.

We explored the critical importance of communication, the power dynamics at play between a boss and their underlying, and the significant impact these dynamics can have on the willingness to engage in open, vulnerable conversations. As we unpack the complexities of these relationships, we also touch on practical strategies for effective feedback, the art of saying "no," and how focusing on what matters can catalyze personal and professional growth.

Volcanoes, like life, are unpredictable. What happens when you set out to summit a volcano that stands 19,347 feet?

You receive the lessons meant for you, but not necessarily the ones wanted.

Here is part one of my two-part story, along with the lessons imparted by a guide, a volcano, and a climbing partner.
