## Resource

Who are you on your best day? What about your worst?Be honest. Brad Farris , engineer turned leadership coach, took me through this exercise on this week’s DesuckifyWork® podcast. And it’s pretty wild. Here are my results: Best Day: CuriousLovingEnergeticCompassionate Worst Day: Closed MindedStubbornCrankyShut Down What’s fascinating is how much the two sides relate to each other. curious vs. closed minded, energetic vs. shut down, etc. We all have these continuums that we live across. And the key is not to dismiss the “bad” side. We’re human. It’s to find ways to show up on the good side more consistently. The way we get there is so simple And yet the steps can seem damn near impossible sometimes. 🐱 Get a good night’s sleep🐱 Exercise regularly🐱 Unpack your calendar How’d you do on those over the past week? If we can crack this code on this stuff, we’ll show up better at work, at home and whenever else we spend our time. And maybe solve some of the challenges that feel so overwhelming when we’re not at our best. Unless you’re good with how things are right now. In which case, can I have some of whatever it is you’re smoking? Welcome to the DesuckifyWork® podcast. The show where we cut through the BS and find ways to make work more fun, more human and less ridiculous. All of which makes your business more profitable, by the way.
