Maybe you have not said all of these phrases, but you have said one of these, and you need to own up to it. Because all the #metoos of the world are not going to change things without you taking personal responsibility for the ways you put down other women. “I could never stay at home with kids. It’s too boring.” The implication here is that people who stay home with kids require less stimulation than you do.

Love isn’t something most of us think about at work. We’re professionals after all. But, with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. You see, love doesn’t have to be about romance. I actually believe the essence of love is much more profound than that. I also believe we can bring the spirit of love with us everywhere we go, including to the workplace—and when we do, I believe we have the power to change our experience of work.

An interesting way to divide things is into commitment and not commitment. So many people say they want to “change the world” but everyone they point to as a world-changer is someone who was extremely committed to their cause. Commitment is a lot of pain (see Seth Godin’s book, The Dip) and it means giving up a lot as well. I am interested in putting people who stay in a long-term marriage in the same category as people who revolutionize their industry because both types of people exhibit big co

February is the month of love, so in honor of St. Valentine, let’s talk about love at work. No, I’m not referring to workplace romances. That’s not my area of expertise. But, if you’re looking for my advice on the topic—DON’T DO IT. I’m actually more interested in talking about love FOR work. Some people have it, some people don’t. For some, it depends on the day.
