Saturday High-Five: Posts I Loved Reading Last Week

For me, Saturday is a ‘sharing day’ and here are five posts from my friends that I totally enjoyed reading in the last week (and you will too!)

Resting on Your Laurels? by Rajesh Setty
In this short and profound post, Rajesh emphasizes that while your ‘achievements’ provide fulfillment in life, your ‘contributions’ provide meaning. Excellent Insight!

Thought-full Thursday: Potential by Mary Jo Asmus
We all have more potential than we think we have. Mary Jo offers a set of provocative questions (for leaders themselves and questions they can ask their team members) to assess if you are living up to your full potential. A quick one, but a must read.

Not so famous last words by Phil Gerbyshak
Phil Gerbyshak is a wonderful friend who led me to introspection this week with this post. Phil answers the question “…what would you say to the people in your life today, if you knew you wouldn’t be able to talk tomorrow?” and provokes deep introspection. Check it out for yourself.

Meetings for Disaster 7 by the GREAT Nicholas Bate
Nicholas Bate is the king of thinking with lists. He presents a short list comprising of only 7 items that make disastrous meetings. You might also like reading my older post on 25 Lessons Learned in Conducting Productive Meetings.

My Mother, Cancer and a Bit of Wisdom by Wally Bock
Everything starts looking small when we think about death. It is not about how long we live, but how. Wally Bock offers a profoundly inspiring story of his mother and how she approached life even after being diagnosed with cancer. This post is a great reminder that only a few things matter in life – key is to keep those things in perspective without getting lost in nitty-gritties of life. Go, read this one.

I wish you a wonderful Saturday and a refreshing weekend!
