Over the past few years, many organizations have felt something shift. It didn’t begin with artificial intelligence. It began when the pace of work quietly outgrew the pace of human recovery. Burnout rose. Trust wavered. People started protecting themselves from systems that once promised stability. Now AI has entered the workplace at scale, and it […]
We hear it in boardrooms, on Zoom discussion panels, and increasingly in our own workforce surveying for the businesses we support: the deal changed. For decades, work operated on a simple, if imperfect, exchange. Loyalty and effort were traded for stability, advancement, and a sense of long-term security. That agreement shaped how organizations were built […]
Across industries and titles, one truth keeps surfacing. The system that built successful businesses, with its obsession for speed, scale, and performance, is now creating burnout in the modern workplace. The people who once defined high performance are quietly pulling back. Mid-career managers, software architects, and emerging executives (those dependable high achievers who used to […]
We love that the holidays are a time to gather, chill, reflect and of course…EAT. But we admit we can go a little overboard sometimes (and it doesn’t always feel great!) We’re all about treating yourself (whether it’s the holidays or not) but it doesn’t hurt to add some mindfulness in an area where we […]
It seems like so many things in life revolve around drinking – celebrations (weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or literally anything else to be celebrated), gatherings (dinner parties, going out with friends) and of course the holidays.

But before you’re influenced by all that the Internet has to say, ask yourself – what does gratitude mean to you? Although there are core principles to gratitude, it’s a very personal thing and can mean something different […]
We’re approaching that time of year where consumption is at an all time high. We’re over eating (because it’s that time of year where that second slice of pumpkin pie is always a ‘yes’), and shopping like crazy (Black Friday, Cyber Monday…it’s hard to avoid all those sales!) But at the core of holiday season […]
If you’re a regular yogi, you likely hear the word “gratitude” in almost every yoga class. There’s a reason, though, this word is mentioned so often in our practice. Gratitude quite literally means “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” It’s important to not only show yourself some […]
It seems like we can’t go one day without hearing the about the distressed state of our environment. Whether it’s the enormous amounts of plastic in the ocean or record breaking forest fires, it all feels so disheartening.
