How to Follow the Unicycle Guy: Lessons Learned from My First TED Talk

After being delayed from last November due to the wildfires, TEDx Sonoma County finally took place on Saturday, January 11, where I delivered my first-ever TED Talk on “Curveballs and Blindspots: A Scenic Route through Uncertainty.”

Was I excited about the event? Yes. Was I anxious and nervous in the days before? Of course, particularly when I suffered a dislocated shoulder two weeks before the event that added a whole other layer of “discomfort” to my preparations.

You’re the New Boss—Now What?

“I have a new boss—again.” This has become a common (but still unsettling) refrain for many of my clients.

With the pace of change in our workplace, organizations are often reacting to market forces and optimizing their workforce to remain competitive through what seems like constant re-orgs and leadership shuffles.

Reporting to a new boss can be very disruptive in a world that is already filled with change and uncertainty. When we recently surveyed our client base and asked, “What is the one thing that threatens your confidence in your ability to do your job?”, a whopping 37% of the respondents answered “Having a new boss.” (If you haven’t done so already, please Take Survey Now.)
