Studies show that a temporal landmark, like the beginning of a year, can have a strong motivational effect on people’s intentions to pursue their goals. Psychologists call this "the fresh start effect." But here’s the tricky part. The reason a fresh start is so motivating is it allows you to disassociate from your past actions and your past imperfect self. Blowing past the year you’ve just lived and what it has to teach you, may lead to another disappointing cycle of wash...2025-01-0512 min

Sound InsightThe Underappreciated Art of Taking Quality Breaks Finding your rhythm in a world out of sync, part 4. When we think of an arresting drum solo, we think of the beat. The sound. But what gives the sound depth and interest are the rests between the beats. A great rhythm is an intricate relationship between beat and break. It’s the dance between sound and silence, substance and space. Our days are consumed with thoughts of what's next and what we must do. We are focused on filling spaces versus welcoming or even creating them. And yet, so much of what makes life wor...2024-06-2814 min

Sound InsightCorazón: Essential Practices for Living and Leading from Heart What does it mean to lead from heart? When we describe someone as 'having heart' we tend to mean two things: they show compassion toward others, and they demonstrate strength and courage.
