63 days ago, I decided to hit reset on a year's worth of bad habits.

I'm going to get vulnerable here, but I'm happy to be in a positive place while writing.

Hopefully, this story will connect and help someone who reads it.

2021 seemed like it was a good year for me:

- Successful career
- A lot of time with my family

But not everything was great:

- Struggling with depression
- Stagnant consulting business
- Stepped on a scale and saw a 20 pounds weight gain

I was developing bad habits...
I'm not really sure how much the people around me knew about what I was going through.

Check-in calls were always appreciated.

I started talking to a therapist.

But I was still in a weird place...

Every great leader understands how to thrive in uncertain times.

But 98.6% of people will get stuck in analysis paralysis.

8 tips to dealing with uncertainty that are actually helpful:
1. Let go of control

- Spend your energy focused only on the things in your control
- Ignore everything else
2. Learn to act with less info

- Accept the fact you will never have all the data you need
- Get started anyway

Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Phil Jackson

These three made creating change look easy.

Here’s how you can move mountains like a pro:
You can not own change for others.

You can support the change, but it's up to them to make the commitment and follow through.

(Read that again)
The formula for change gives us three things you need to create change:

1. Dissatisfaction
2. A clear next step
3. A clear vision of the future

(Let's break each down)

When I turned 30, I was a mess.

- Ate garbage
- Working an entry level job
- Spent weekends at the bar

And my wife was expecting our first kid.

I knew it was time for a change.
I cut down my drinking before our first kid, but not enough.

Before our first kid turned one, I got drunk, went on a bike ride, crashed and broke my elbow.

This created more work for my wife, as my ability to help was limited.
We had our second kid 18 months later.

He had a heart condition that required heart surgery within a month of being born.

This was a wake-up call.

I realized I needed to become a different person.

Leadership is hard work!

And leading virtual teams can present unique obstacles.

Here are 7 things the best leaders are doing right now.

//Thread//
1. Deliver Good News Quickly

People need good news right now. If you have an opportunity to recognize someone, do it as quickly as possible.

- Text
- Video
- Voice Memo

Whatever works for you.

Be genuine and urgent.
2. Make Regular Check-In Calls a Priority

Call your team with the sole intention of seeing how they are doing.

Make them daily or weekly, as long as you make them consistently.

- “I just called to see how you are doing”
- Avoid assumptions
- Just listen
