So often when I feel like I’m underperforming, irritable or scatter-brained I benefit from someone suggesting that I stop and eat something or close my eyes for 5 minutes. Being fixated on a goal or immersed in a project feels like a flow state but I often forget the basics.

Life is so much more out here than it ever was inside. That means richer; it also means easier to lose focus. People are what make my life meaningful. When I lose track of that I lose track of what’s important.

So many great projects start as a random conversation. I thought that leaders were people locked in a room, focused on nothing but the next great step. Now I realize that the great ideas more often start over coffee or dinner. So, here's to coffee, conversation and possibility.

We need a foundation of emotional intelligence or even a tower of intellectual excellence will fall when storms come. I’m glad that we focus on academics. I just hope we start focusing on the challenges of being human as well. #eq #sel #emotionalintelligence.
