Long-haul travelers have tried every jet lag fix in the book, from skipping coffee to forcing themselves into daylight, but many still lose precious days to exhaustion after landing. That is when we should look more closely to circadian science. I recently attended a webinar organized by the Global Wellness Summit that brought together a former astronaut, a United Airlines executive, a Wimbledon champion professional athlete, the founder of a jet lag app rooted in NASA’s circadian research and a circadian scientist to discuss how to manage our internal clocks successfully.Jet Lag Starts When The Internal Is Clock Out Of…

The prior day’s rain had turned the ground into a sticky, tacky clay. Hoof prints and footprints, deeply embedded in the earth, suctioned my feet in place one moment before sending them sliding out from under me the next. I only managed to turn my torso and watch as he peered up at the leafy canopy above us.Gray clouds blotted out the sun, casting everything in a dull light.…
On February 10, 1985, an imprisoned 66-year-old male serving a life sentence was offered a conditional release that would have reunited him with his wife and children, from whom he had been separated for 23 years. The prisoner turned down the offer. His name was Nelson Mandela. In a rejection publicly delivered to the South African government by his daughter at a rally in Soweto, Mandela refused the condition that he permanently walk away from the country’s anti-apartheid movement. “I cherish my own freedom dearly, but I care even more for your freedom,” he stated, unwilling to “sell the birthright…

Managing people is about helping people tap into underutilized reserves and overlooked skills that are indigenous to them, not fixing their habits. The people you manage naturally look to you for answers. They might even ask you to tell them what to do, which creates two major problems: If you tell them what to do, and even if you’re right, they won’t learn anything. If you give clear instructions regarding what to do and things still go wrong, they more than likely will blame you for the resulting mess. This kind of dynamic quietly creates an unhealthy dependency where the…
AI is starting to influence who gets hired, who earns more, and who creates the most value at work, even if widespread job replacement has not fully arrived.Adobe StockI’m sure you’ve heard this before:“AI won’t replace people. People who use AI will replace people who don’t.”No one is sure who (if anyone) said it first, perhaps Sam Altman or Jensen Huang. But since it became clear that the AI revolution is truly underway, it’s become a familiar phrase. As a prediction and model for how workforces will react to the automation of everyday information work, it’s compelling. And some feel…
As a leadership consultant who helps organizations understand how to apply artistic thinking, one of the lessons I have learned is one of the basic differences between the artistic practice and the business practice—in the former, questioning is the way of life, in the latter answers are the way to go. Artists ask “why” constantly. Why does this exist? Why are things the way they are? Why are we doing it this way? That relentless questioning is how they push past convention—and it’s the engine of genuine creative thinking. Bring that same type of question into most organizations, and something…
