Happy Tuesday!

It might not feel as happy to you right now with the strife and tension in the Middle East. If that is impacting you personally, my thoughts are with you.

But for most of us, the heightened uncertainties of recent events are more distant and less personal. If that is you, I hope My Take below is especially helpful. The other article sheds light on another source of work uncertainty, but one we have a far better chance of impacting.

Regardless of events in other parts of the world and what those ramifications might be in the future, I urge you to stay in the present today. Take ten minutes (especially because of the overwhelm of the uncertainty is high) and look around, noticing all the things you can be grateful for.

That exercise will reset your spirit in a positive way and help you deal with the harder things in life more than you might realize.

If you do that, you will…

Make it a great Tuesday.

You are Remarkable!

Kevin 😊

Uncertainty On Display

Uncertainty in our world isn’t new.

But with the events of the last 10 days or so in the Middle East, perhaps you are feeling the personal effects of uncertainty even more right now. If you are, either personally or due to organizational uncertainties related to these world events, let me share three things I have created this year that might be helpful:

• It’s a VUCA World, Now What?

• Navigating Uncertainty with Confidence 

• Finding Safety in Uncertainty (video)

I hope they are helpful. Let us know if you want to explore how we can help your team/organization deal with uncertainty more productively and successfully.

The New Work Flexibility: When Work Happens, Not Just Where

The Pandemic taught (those willing to learn) that flexibility in work is possible and desired. And while the news and some senior leadership teams tell us that more of the work needs to take place in the office, the world has changed, whether some like it or not. Not everyone is or will be working on-site five days a week. We can call this the “where flexibility” and it is here to stay.

But the new work flexibility isn’t as much about where we are working as it is about when we are working.

For about 100 years, the generally standard working hours (but with many deviations of course) have been 40 hours per week across 5 days. Is that still necessary?
