Despite the backdrop of the U.S. Presidential election results unfolding at the same time, this year’s Global Wellness Summit was another dynamic and engaging event. The Global Wellness Summit is an annual four-day gathering that brings together leaders from business, government, academia, and science to exchange ideas and shape the future of the interconnected world of wellness. This year, the event took place in the stunning landscape of Scotland—a country steeped in tradition, where clan chiefs, kings, religious leaders, and nobles have long sought refuge in the tranquil countryside to rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. It was hosted in the historic seaside town of St. Andrews, renowned not only for its world-class golf courses but also for its prestigious university and interesting medieval ruins. I started my visit to this charming town with a leisurely walk around its streets, eventually making my way through the iconic Old Course— affectionately known as the “Grand Old Lady.” At nearly 475 years old, she’s regarded as the birthplace of golf, making her a truly historic landmark. Yes, I walked on the course (without playing golf)! It felt like I was getting away with something, but the beauty of the Old Course is that…
Thriving Leadership in an Age of Disruption In today’s world, we’re grappling with an unprecedented convergence of challenges: climate change, digital transformation, social upheaval, economic uncertainties, and more. These forces necessitate a shift from traditional leadership models to ones that can meet these new demands effectively. At Wisdom Works, we advocate for a transformative approach that we call thriving leadership. This paradigm goes beyond navigating disruption; it’s about transforming it into opportunities for growth, capacity-building, and overall wellbeing. Leaders who adopt this paradigm view every aspect of their organization—from tech innovations to brands and daily operations—as chances to succeed in ways where people and the planet can thrive. Seven Shifts in Consciousness, Capability, and Impact Thriving leadership is about building on the best of how we’ve led in the past, yet broadening our consciousness, capabilities, and impact. It challenges both formal and informal leaders to elevate how they use their power and influence through seven essential shifts: From Transactional to TRANSFORMATIONAL From Individual Control to COLLECTIVE EMPOWERMENT From Efficiencies to SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE From Action without Awareness to INTEGRITY From Extraction to REGENERATION From Siloed Thinking to ECOSYSTEM SYNERGY From Burnout to WELLBEING Thriving Leadership Is Personal The seven shifts toward…
We all got these big ideas. One day they’re replaced with fears. How did we get here? Darlin’, don’t quit your daydream. It’s your life that you’re making. It ain’t big enough if it doesn’t scare the hell out of you. If it makes you nervous, it’s probably worth it. Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream? Lily Meola’s song Daydream (quoted above) beautifully captures how we diminish our lives and work when we disconnect with our ability to imagine. She reminds us we come alive when we reconnect with our inborn creative power. I used to be in a tug of war with my creativity. For the sake of that ever-important “to-do” list, early in my career it was easy to dismiss the inspirations bubbling up within me. Yet, I’ve learned that creativity is not only a natural wellspring of wellbeing, when put to constructive use, it’s also an expression of the best of our individual and collective ingenuity. Just look around you: In large and small ways, people are applying their creativity to accomplish the improbable and extraordinary every day. Today, I tune in to my creative impulses and encourage others to do…
I recently participated in a transformative ceremony with Native American elders in New Mexico as part of a gathering of leadership development professionals hosted by our team at Wisdom Works. At dusk one evening, we formed a circle under the canopy of a huge cottonwood tree to celebrate the mystery of life in the seven, sacred directions integral to the elders’ worldview: East, South, West, North, the Earth, the Cosmos, and Within. The experience was medicine for my soul; l left it feeling deeply connected and restored. Why did this ceremony leave such an indelible impression within me? Because the wisdom these Elders conveyed was simple and profound: Our interconnectedness is inextricable. The birds and trees and rocks and rivers are our relatives, and as relatives, no being is any better than any other. Humans are not the center of life, we are part of life’s fine-tuned web. Consider a few of the countless examples of how we interconnected: Of the 3 billion genetic building blocks that make up living things, we are 99.9% genetically similar to each other across the globe, 98.8% similar to chimps, 94% similar to dogs, and 60% similar to fruit flies and bananas! We rely…

Everyone can be a leader - in management and non-management roles alike. #thrivingworkplaces
In our contemporary work world hierarchies and silos are beginning to give way to networks of collaboration that are more democratized, adaptive, and inclusive. Who’s leading and who’s following can vary over the course of a day, a project, or a major change initiative. This means that any of us can steward the conditions where everyone can thrive.
