Indeed, people-pleasing can derail both personal well-being and career progression. According to Hailey Magee, author of *Stop People Pleasing and Find Your Power*, many fall into this pattern due to a desire for validation and fear of conflict. However, this can lead to burnout, reduced productivity, and resentment. Surprising fact: consistently people-pleasing can lower self-esteem over time. Magee advises setting clear boundaries and prioritizing self-care. Managers can help by fostering a culture of open communication and encouraging employees to assert their needs and limits. #MentalHealth #WorkLifeBalance #StopPeoplePleasing

Could it be that life is not a sprint or a marathon? That instead, our lives and careers require intermittent sprints with space for rest and recovery in between? According to Tony Schwartz, "human beings operate best when they move between spending and renewing energy" (see below). Many of us feel governed by time, in our work and lives - in some cases measured in 6 minute increments. And yet, as we have all experienced, the value of 60 minutes spent in that beautiful space of flow (completely immersed, focused and engaged) is very different than the value of 60 minutes spent when we are stressed out, exhausted, and/or distracted. So maybe, just maybe, it is worth leaning into some of the things that will put us into that flow state more often - the things that also keep us grounded, steady, and shored up for the next challenge. For me, those things include: enough sleep, quiet mornings, exercise, listening to a great podcast, being with people, and spending time outside. What about you?
