To whoever needs to hear this today... SOUND UP! 🖤🖤🖤

I shared this poem recently with a friend who had experienced a deep loss. When my mom passed a few days later, I was grateful to have these words to help me process the grief. John O’Donohue’s words have always spoken directly to my soul. I hope they find you wherever you are for whatever you need healing. 🖤🖤🖤

On February 12, we lost one of the greats. My mom

On February 12, we lost one of the greats. My mom Sheri.

She was a true force of nature. She loved her grandkids, her family and her community with every fiber of her being. So many have reminisced on the open door policy she extended to strangers and friends alike. Our home was always filled with friends and family coming together around the wooden dinner table. People who needed help, friends who needed connection and any kid she could feed.

We miss you so much but we remember your lifetime of public service, your wild stories, your potato pancakes and contagious reactions to all the small and big things.

Grief is hard to process in normal life but the pandemic has added an additional layer of complexity for me. Sending love and care to all those out there mourning a loss in these challenging times. May we find the first steps toward healing.

Love you Mom, still learning from you and grieving the loss.

For one of those days... Just a friendly reminder

For one of those days... Just a friendly reminder to be gentle, patient, loving and kind to yourself. #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

Just a little running list I like to call “WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID.” Stay tuned for its equally compelling sequel “THINGS I SHOULD HAVE KEPT TO MYSELF.” Anyone else replay all of life’s moments again and again? How do you stop the tape and just move on? 💭💭💭 #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

Why, oh why, did I learn this? Self reliance is no

Why, oh why, did I learn this? Self reliance is not the goal. Not some great hero story to be celebrating. It sucks to be stressed with a mountain of responsibility after a genuine offer for help was rejected. Don’t make my mistake. When someone extends their support, say yes! #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

One of my all-time favorite books is called The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried-and-True Prescriptions for the Heart, Mind and Soul
Book by William Sieghart. The idea of being a Poetry Pharmacist always stuck with me. Forever prescribing poetry for the heart, mind and soul. ❤️ #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #Zander #ZanderGrashow

In our Covid reality, a lot of us have had to sacrifice or compromise our relational needs. I jokingly told a group on Zoom today that Powerpoint is my new love language. But it made me think about the ways I used to give and receive love before our interactions and relationships were (quite literally) sanitized. Obviously, safety comes first. But how are you finding new ways to connect? How are you (or not) getting your relational needs met? Sending you all a virtual hug until we meet again. 💭💭💭 #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

How long did it take you to realize your job description was incomplete? Five Hours? Five Days? Were you happy to find out or frustrated? Was it an opportunity for you to stretch or a limitation? And what have you done with it since? #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

Sitting with the concept of judgement. What if the things that trigger us are actually the unowned (and sometimes unknown) parts of ourselves we fear the most? How do we confront that in ourselves and others with patience and grace? 💭💭💭 #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

I hate those moments I pick my head up and realize I am in the back seat and my self critic has been driving. Driving my decision-making, my relationships, my work progress and just killing my joy. Get that self critic out of the driver’s seat — if not the car altogether. Anyone relate? 🚗🚕🚙 #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

Nobody gives 100% all of the time. It is a goal (and myth) that has just exhausted so many good people I know. Know when you need to give maximum effort. Equally importantly, know when, how and where you should rest and recover. 💭💭💭 #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

We believe both music AND meditation are medicine

We believe both music AND meditation are medicine for the soul. So this week’s playlist is dedicated to their intersection. We invite you use our PEACEFUL PIANO playlist as an entry point into your meditation practice. Link in stories! Breathe deeply, pause, repeat. 🙏✨ #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

At a moment in our history that is marked by divisiveness, it’s more important than ever to find ways to come together. I think creating spaces where strangers will no longer be strangers is the first step to bridging that gap. We must ask ourselves how we hold our own ego, narrative and identity in a way we can share ourselves with someone else. But not so much that there isn’t room to meet them there. #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander

Heroes are all around us. Heroes of little moments and needed courage. Sometimes walking into the battle with naiveté or grand ambition. Nonetheless, you are winning and I salute you. #ChangeEverything #AdaptiveLeadership #ZanderGrashow #Zander
