If I resent you for a choice that I made- that's a me problem. Good intentions can result in overextending and resentment. That's where knowing your own needs and limits can really make the difference. How do you know when you need to stop and say, no more? #businessasunusual #energyequation

Loved having John back on the show. In this clip he shares a little on the business case for sustainability. Tune in wherever you pod for insight and ideas. #businessasunusual #greenwashing #sustainability

I'm not going to pretend to have the answers. But the question, of why are we still grappling with things we've been grappling with for a thousand years, strikes me. It's why it's important to me to question business as usual. Things won't change until we do. #businessasunusual #energyequation

When you discover a gap between your intentions and your reality, do you start with self-blame? What if you took a step back and instead noticed what happened and how it shifted? And looked at it from the perspective of your energy and not your failings? #energyequation #businesasunusual

My friend got me into the show Alone a few years ago. It's compelling. Survivalists live alone, see what they did there?, and film themselves surviving off the land. There are different win conditions in different seasons, but generally the person who lasts the longest wins something.

Have you ever noticed that you are getting in your own way? Yeah, me either ;p I love when I can see my actions create a wall obscurity between me and the person I am trying to connect with. Sometimes the best action is to stop and listen. #businessasunusual #communication

Wilde said the truest things with the sharpest edges. "A true friend stabs you in the front, not the back." The people who've moved my work forward weren't agreeing with me. They were saying the uncomfortable thing while there was still time to act on it. bicurean.com/energysnapshot

Dror Yaron said something I wrote down and kept. "Ethics is constructing systems that are in line with our values." Your values don't run your business. Your systems do. If they weren't built to carry each other, you feel it before you can name it. bicurean.com/energysnapshot #energyequation
