🌟 While we no longer record the Q&A discussions during our Leadership Strategy Sessions, we continue to record the opening teaching. Enjoy a special preview of what we shared about recommitting to purpose at the halfway point of the year. If you want to see the complete teaching and take part in upcoming sessions, consider upgrading to join us live next month.
The instinct at the halfway mark is to start with status: what's done, what's behind, what's still moving.
We'd encourage you to resist that instinct and start somewhere else instead, with the purpose behind the goals you set back in the fall or in January. That's a long time ago. Most of us can barely remember what felt important then, and some of what got set out no longer has the same job to do, either because it's been accomplished by a different route or because it no longer serves the goal it was meant to serve.
Reconnecting with purpose first tells you which projects deserve a restart and which ones deserve to be retired.
From there, the real work is getting honest about capacity, not the capacity the calendar suggests you have, but what your team can actually give for the rest of Q3.
This month's Q&A also covered:
-
Introducing a team-level project discipline when the concept is still new, and how many active change projects a team can realistically carry at once
-
Building in margin across time horizons rather than assuming quarters, months, and weeks divide evenly
-
Rebuilding momentum and trust after a change project falls behind schedule
-
Helping an overwhelmed team believe forward motion is possible again before introducing new planning frameworks
-
Matching the complexity of your team's tools to the actual complexity of the problem you're solving
Our next Leadership Strategy Session will be on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. PDT.
