When your team is craving something sweet in the middle of the workday, it doesn’t matter how many drinks or savory snacks you offer in the break room—a substitute just won’t do!

“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!” my friend Robin yells, and immediately launches into the TV show’s opening theme song. Her nine-year-old son, who just read the trivia question that triggered this outburst, looks confused and a little annoyed. “You didn’t even let me finish the question!” he exclaims. We’re sitting in beach chairs on a grassy lawn by the lake

I’m standing near the sidelines of the soccer field, trying not to pace. My eldest son, age 9, grimaces in the goal as the ball flies past him and the other team scores—again. Our team is getting cooked, as the kids say. I’ve lost track of how many shots have made it over and around my goalie son, but it’s

Last week, I shared a few ideas for greening up your office space for Earth Month. Today, I’m digging deeper into one of those: adding office plants! It turns out indoor plants (and even just photos of plants) can help boost your team’s health. Studies show they may be able to do some amazing things, like lower blood pressure, increase focus, and
I’m visiting a client in Nashville, Tennessee, and my contact is leading me through a maze of hallways in their office building. We turn one last corner and come face-to-face with a door set into a glass wall. Beyond it, I see green plants and blue sky: It’s a rooftop garden! The lovely space is full of bushes, trees, and

“Hi, I’m Erin from the FruitGuys!” I say, reaching out to shake Melissa’s hand.

This Friday is Employee Appreciation Day. To me, Employee Appreciation Day is a lot like Valentine’s Day—they’re both reminders of things we should be doing all year long. If you’re already showing appreciation and love to keep your spouse happy or boost engagement and retention on your team, then the holidays are kind of unnecessary. But I like the reminder
This past weekend, my wife and I sat down to review my upcoming work travel. I winced as I told her that I might need to extend my next trip for another night because of an extra meeting. She looked at me thoughtfully and said, “Let go of the guilt, and do what you need to do.” I think I
A few years back, in that post-COVID time when people were starting to meet in person again but many workers were still at home, I visited one of our clients in New York.
