Zoom fatigue is a myth. There are only bad content and boring meetings AND presentations that tire people out. How do I know that? Workplace dating has actually increased during the pandemic and it happens in Zoom. So, let's make sure we keep our Zoom meetings as vibrant and engaging for more engagement - sans the dating.

PS. I help senior executives who struggle with transforming their teams lead change with clarity, courage, and connection.

Whenever you are ready, every Tuesday I teach a class on High Performance habits. You can join them here: https://www.teamlawless.com/leadership-clarity-workshop

And if you ever want to get some 1:1 help, we can jump on a Zoom call, and brainstorm, how we can raise you to the next level of clarity, courage, and connection to transform yourself and your team: https://andrew-lawless.mykajabi.com/coaching-application-form

In two years from now, we want to look back at these times and be proud of how we handled ourselves. We want our children to be proud of the role models we have been for them.

But in times of distress, when we are in transition, it can be hard to muster the energy to be that person. In this presentation, you will learn how to activate yourself now. Certified High Performance Coach, Andrew Lawless will share:

• The one life strategy that changes everything
• How to set and reach new standards for yourself
• What the most successful people do to get what they want
• Why your current struggle sets you up for growth
• The actions you need to take right now to get back into the game

You will leave this session inspired to come out of your transition with a new version of yourself. You will have a simple concept for next steps to new opportunities, relationships, and careers.

Remember that a truly healthy, happy Holiday is about being present in the moment.

We dine to connect with the people in our lives. The food is there to signify the importance of the event and also to make it easier for us to focus on the conversation.

Be present in the moment with loved ones. We never know when it will be the last time that we meet someone.

We lose on another. Life throws curve balls.

So, cherish the moment of being together by focusing on the people in your life.

Get to know them better, ask the question you always wanted to ask.

Here are some sample questions that work all the time:

• What are you most excited about right now?
• What have you learned from this experience?
• What is not perfect yet?
• What are you willing to do to make it the way you want it?
• What are you willing to not do to make it the way you want it?
• How can you enjoy the process?

Focus on the conversation. Get to really know what is going on in the person whom you are speaking to.

Does your significant other fully support you in pursuing your dreams? If not, here is what you can do about it.

I am sharing this with you because too often my female clients are frustrated about their loved ones actively discouraging them from making a bold move in their careers – especially when it involves starting their own business.

My first piece of advice is always to see it from their perspective.

Loved ones actively discourage us from taking risks because they love us.

They fear for our health, safety, and financial well-being.

This has happened to me a few times, even by my mentors.

Before I traveled to Arizona last year to get certified in Brendon Burchard’s Certified High Performance Coaching, my mentor wrote to me:

“Please think long and hard before you invest in spending time with Brendon Burchard, could you get him to pay you for your time? I think you would have a lot to teach him. He is not a world expert in adult development from what I see on-line.”

Am I the only one who has crazy business ideas all the time - and then someone else turns them into money?

I have always had the idea to sell Irish rainwater to Americans.

Makes total sense to me.

 Rain is a never-dwindling resource on the emerald island, and Americans are crazy about everything Irish.

Turns out, trying to sell rainwater did not go so well for the Irish Rain Water Company who beat me to the punch in 2016.

Their website is down, and their Facebook business page amassed a whopping 21 likes.

In another case, Paul O'Flynn also had the same idea and even received an innovation grant from Enterprise Ireland, you know, the government organization responsible for the development and growth of Irish enterprises, which turned down the Stripe founders, Patrick and John Collison.

So, I am not the only crazy one here.

But O'Flynn's Kickstarter campaign ended on June 29, 2018, because only eight people backed the idea.

It raised only 2.6% of the needed capital to get this i...
