- [As a Leader, Are You Working on the Right Things?](https://maysleadership.com/as-a-leader-are-you-working-on-the-right-things/) - Most leaders and executives struggle to make the shift — the real shift — from top producer to top leader. And it costs them everything. They don't see the invisible change that's required. They show up to their executive role the same way they showed up when they were earning it: head down, working hard,
- [The Great Deception: Why We’ve Forgotten What Leadership Means](https://maysleadership.com/the-great-deception-why-weve-forgotten-what-leadership-means/) - Watching the evening news, it is easy to be seduced by the spectacle of power. We witness figures on global stages commanding vast armies, swaying volatile markets, and manipulating victories in high-stakes elections. We see the rise of authoritarianism, the persistence of systemic corruption, and the relentless pursuit of ideological dominance. In common term, we
- [Are You Out of Time? How to Reclaim Your Day and Focus on What Matters](https://maysleadership.com/are-you-out-of-time-how-to-reclaim-your-day-and-focus-on-what-matters/) - “I’m out of time!” It’s become the world’s favorite excuse, right up there with “the dog ate my homework” and “my phone fell in the toilet—again.” Sound familiar? I recently bumped into an old friend and asked, “How’ve you been?” His reply: “Really busy!” These days, being busy seems like a badge of honor, a
- [The Morel of the Story: Finding Rare Business Opportunities Hidden in Plain Sight](https://maysleadership.com/the-morel-of-the-story-finding-rare-business-opportunities-hidden-in-plain-sight/) - It’s that time of year in West Michigan when the elusive Morel mushroom, that 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘦𝘹𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦, 𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘦 treat, decides to grace us with its presence. For a few fleeting weeks, these magical fungi emerge from their dormant state, calling intrepid seekers to scour the forest floor. This morning, as I embarked on my usual
- [Is Your Business Taking You Where You Want to Go?](https://maysleadership.com/is-your-business-taking-you-where-you-want-to-go/) - As a self-proclaimed map hound, my house often looks like a cartographer’s fever dream. Maps are scattered across walls and shelves, ready fuel for my hours of daydreaming. My current obsession? The vast expanse of everywhere we haven’t been. And no, not the inside of a volcano (unless it’s safe and historic). I’m talking about
- [The Science of Gloomy Days: How to Stay Bright When the Weather Isn’t](https://maysleadership.com/the-science-of-gloomy-days-how-to-stay-bright-when-the-weather-isnt/) - Does your brain ever just take a vacation? Mine sure does. It packs its tiny bags, leaves a note that says “Gone fishing,” and suddenly, I’m left with nothing but an echo chamber. Not a single brilliant thought in sight. Days like today don’t help. The weather is doing its best impression of a perpetually
- [WRITE IT DOWN: The Simple Trick to Building a Future That Lasts](https://maysleadership.com/write-it-down-the-simple-trick-to-building-a-future-that-lasts/) - My college friends recently celebrated their 138th wedding anniversary (okay, not really, but close enough!). They’re living proof of what it means to stay the course—through thick and thin, good times and bad, always having each other’s back, and most importantly, growing together. It’s mind-blowing what life looks like when you play the long game.
- [The Power of Belonging: What a Motorcycle Rally Taught Me About Leadership](https://maysleadership.com/the-power-of-belonging-what-a-motorcycle-rally-taught-me-about-leadership/) - Do you belong? It was bike week up north—“Blessing of the Bikes,” actually. Thousands made a pilgrimage to our little backwoods town so the local shaman could bless them at the airport. My son and I rolled up to our cabin for a weekend getaway (in the Jeep, not on two wheels), and surprise—bikes everywhere.
- [Why Taking Things Personally Is Killing Your Leadership](https://maysleadership.com/why-taking-things-personally-is-killing-your-leadership/) - My dad’s a robust dude. I call him every day while walking Izzy (the Wonder Dog). Earlier, I was wracking my brain for something to write. Inspiration? Nowhere to be found. “Maybe Dad will give me something to work with,” I thought, and dialed him up. “I just read your story from yesterday,” he said,
- [Everybody Has a Plan… Until Life Punches You in the Face](https://maysleadership.com/everybody-has-a-plan-until-life-punches-you-in-the-face/) - “Everybody’s got a plan until they’re punched in the face.” Mike Tyson wasn’t wrong. We cruise along, following our carefully laid plans, until—bam!—life throws a haymaker. The Unforeseen Jab That “punch” might be a top employee quitting. A major client walking away. A spouse saying “I’m done.” Interest rates spiking. A tax bill arriving. Or
- [Are You Planting Annuals or Perennials in Your Life?](https://maysleadership.com/are-you-planting-annuals-or-perennials-in-your-life/) - I dug in the dirt all weekend. There’s a particular kind of joy that only comes from wrestling with the earth, emerging victorious—and delightfully grubby. I love transforming a patch of ordinary soil into a vibrant tapestry of green. It’s a slow-motion act of creation, a living sculpture that continually evolves. This weekend, my medium
- [From Limiting Beliefs to Limitless Possibility: Mastering the Art of Thinking Big](https://maysleadership.com/from-limiting-beliefs-to-limitless-possibility-mastering-the-art-of-thinking-big/) - Are you thinking big enough? If you’re like most entrepreneurs and executives, the answer is no. Not because you lack talent or drive, but simply because you were never taught how. Here’s the truth: the human brain is designed to keep us safe. It defaults to the familiar and the comfortable. When we imagine the
- [The Executive Superpower You’re Probably Overlooking](https://maysleadership.com/the-executive-superpower-youre-probably-overlooking/) - This morning, my daily walk began not with a spring in my step, but a spin in my head. My brain was lost in the day’s agenda, buried deep in a swirl of imagined scenarios and stress. Then Izzy, my four-legged guru, yanked the leash and called for an impromptu stop-and-look-around break. So I stopped.
- [Why Your Team Resists Change (and How to Move Them Without Force)](https://maysleadership.com/why-your-team-resists-change-and-how-to-move-them-without-force/) - The recent storm was intense. Lightning lit up the sky like a rock concert, and trees bent low like they were auditioning for a limbo contest. We sensibly decided to camp out downstairs. Our teenage boys? Not so much. They were all, “But… my bed!” Classic case of short-term comfort over long-term survival. It’s the
- [Fight, Flight… or Breathe? The Real Secret to Leadership Calm](https://maysleadership.com/fight-flight-or-breathe-the-real-secret-to-leadership-calm/) - Remember the last time a mountain lion attacked you? Yeah, me neither. For most of us, life isn’t a constant brawl with hungry predators (except in California, maybe). We live in relative comfort compared to our ancestors, who had to worry about actual saber-toothed tigers. But here’s the kicker: while physical survival isn’t usually on
- [Why Self-Awareness Can Make You Richer (Science Says So)](https://maysleadership.com/why-self-awareness-can-make-you-richer-science-says-so/) - Ever get that “gut feeling” about something? That hunch that whispers, “Go for it!” or “Back away slowly…”? You know, intuition. Turns out, it’s not some mystical Jedi mind trick. Science is clear: intuition is real, and when it comes to those high-pressure, make-or-break moments, it can be your secret weapon. We’re basically walking, talking
- [Raw Courage > No Fear: Rethinking Leadership Bravery](https://maysleadership.com/raw-courage-no-fear-rethinking-leadership-bravery/) - “NO FEAR.” You see it on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and motivational posters. Sounds good, right? Except… it’s kinda silly. Fear is hardwired into us. It’s what kept our ancestors from becoming saber-toothed tiger snacks. So, “NO FEAR”? That’s not bravery. That’s cheerfully ignoring all warning signs. The real goal isn’t the absence of fear. It’s
- [Escaping the Trap of Self-Sabotage](https://maysleadership.com/escaping-the-trap-of-self-sabotage/) - We’ve all met people who somehow thrive in spite of themselves. They seem determined to trip over their own feet on the road to success — sabotaging opportunities, alienating allies, and settling for less than they’re capable of. It’s as if they’re haunted by a personal ghost — a relentless whisper of self-doubt, shame, or
- [Why You’re Not Seeing the World As It Is (And What to Do About It)](https://maysleadership.com/why-youre-not-seeing-the-world-as-it-is-and-what-to-do-about-it/) - It’s a funny thing — we all inhabit the same world, yet our perspectives can be wildly different. You say blue, I say green, and we’re both utterly convinced we’ve got it right. We assume our view is the view. This plays out in… well, everything. Politics. Relationships. Questionable food choices (water chestnuts, anyone?). Even
- [The Surprising Link Between an Organized Garage and a Thriving Business](https://maysleadership.com/the-surprising-link-between-an-organized-garage-and-a-thriving-business/) - For me, spring growth is contagious. When nature starts blooming, I can’t help but want to grow and organize, too. This weekend? The garage got the treatment. I pulled everything out (turns out I’m a rogue tennis ball hoarder) and capped it off with a triumphant lumber run—coming home with a glorious 12-foot workbench. Twelve
- [Why Embracing Structure Might Be the Most Liberating Move You Make](https://maysleadership.com/why-embracing-structure-might-be-the-most-liberating-move-you-make/) - I used to live for spontaneity. Back in the day, my wife and I would just go—hop in the car and head south because we thought there might be a pottery festival somewhere. No plans. No Google Maps. Just a hunch and a tank of gas. Did we always get to our original destination? Nope.
- [What To Do When You’ve Lost Your Mojo: A Story About Vision, Hope, and the Power of Starting Again](https://maysleadership.com/what-to-do-when-youve-lost-your-mojo-a-story-about-vision-hope-and-the-power-of-starting-again/) - It happens to all of us. Life’s a rollercoaster, and sometimes it stalls on the downslope. My good friend—one of my first coaching clients from a decade ago—recently hit a tough stretch: divorce, moving, selling the house, relocating the business. All the major life stressors in one tight little package. Needless to say, he lost
- [What’s your leadership style really costing you?](https://maysleadership.com/whats-your-leadership-style-really-costing-you/) - Your style is your superpower—and your ceiling. We all have our own distinct rhythm as we move through the world—a particular way we connect, communicate, and step into leadership. It’s that unique fingerprint that makes you, well, you. You’ve got your own flavor. Your own style. Some of that style? It comes straight from the
- [Why Change Feels Hard (and How to Actually Make It Stick)](https://maysleadership.com/why-change-feels-hard-and-how-to-actually-make-it-stick/) - Let’s be honest: the phrase “easy change” is about as believable as “delicious kale smoothie.” Technically possible… but usually met with a raised eyebrow and a backup bag of chips. Here’s the thing: change can happen faster and more effectively than we think—if we get the mix right. The WD-40 for rusty personal transformation is
- [Why These Might Be the Good Old Days You’ll Never Forget](https://maysleadership.com/why-these-might-be-the-good-old-days-youll-never-forget/) - I still remember the day he brought that motorcycle home. Back then, GM hit the pause button every year for two glorious weeks around the Fourth of July. For a teenage boy like me, that meant one thing: adventure time with Dad. We’d pack the saddlebags on that ol’ Honda—tent, sleeping bags, and toot brushes
- [Why Upgrading Your Thinking Is the Key to High Performance](https://maysleadership.com/why-upgrading-your-thinking-is-the-key-to-high-performance/) - High performance starts in your head. Before the profits, before the metrics, before the hustle—it’s your thinking that sets the ceiling. Think of your brain as the hardware, and your mind as the software. But here’s the problem: most of us are still running on Windows 95—complete with a few viruses from childhood, burnout, and
- [Why You’re Slowing Yourself Down by Not Asking for Help](https://maysleadership.com/why-youre-slowing-yourself-down-by-not-asking-for-help/) - Ever since snowboard season, I’ve been limping around waiting for my knee to heal. I finally saw a physician the other day, and he gave it to me straight: “You need physical therapy. It shouldn’t take long. You’ve got a hamstring issue.” Turns out, for months now I’ve been hobbling in pain with a simple
- [Why True Happiness Requires More Than Just Freedom](https://maysleadership.com/why-true-happiness-requires-more-than-just-freedom/) - The United States was built on some solid principles: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But here’s the reality: most of us are still stuck in the pursuit part. Sure, we’ve got the freedom to call our own shots. Technically, we’re living in liberty. But when it comes down to how we’re actually living?
- [How a Small Town’s Messy Past Reveals the Power of Habits](https://maysleadership.com/how-a-small-towns-messy-past-reveals-the-power-of-habits/) - We’re kind of biased about our hometown. It’s a picture-perfect postcard—complete with a screensaver waterfall, kids on bikes zipping around, fishermen wrangling the day’s catch, and café patios spilling into the streets. But here’s the thing: it didn’t magically appear this way. It’s not like a squirrel buried a lucky penny in the town square
- [Why Reframing Your Thinking Is the Secret to Staying Calm Under Pressure](https://maysleadership.com/why-reframing-your-thinking-is-the-secret-to-staying-calm-under-pressure/) - For Business Owners and Leaders Who Feel Reactive It’s a rainy day. Lightning flashing, thunder crashing—and Izzy the wonder dog (emphasis on “wondering what the heck is going on”) simply doesn’t know what to do with herself. It’s a big, scary world out there. Even though she’s inside the safe, warm house, Izzy isn’t having
- [Why Your Comfort Zone Is Holding You Back—and How to Reignite Your Drive](https://maysleadership.com/why-your-comfort-zone-is-holding-you-back-and-how-to-reignite-your-drive/) - Comfort zones are a weird thing. We call them comfortable, but when we get stuck in them, they usually feel anything but. It’s like running the same track over and over with blinders on—a racehorse, a hamster on a wheel, a bird in a cage. Pick your metaphor. Either way, life starts to lose its
- [Does being right make you a monster?](https://maysleadership.com/does-being-right-make-you-a-monster/) - I'm a self-awareness junkie. I've spent a crazy amount of time trying to figure out why I think the way I do, how those thoughts shape my life, and how to do it better. I've even got my own little self-help toolkit to keep me on the straight and narrow. With all this obsession, I
- [The Wisdom of Chuck: How to Stop Treading Water and Start Thriving](https://maysleadership.com/the-wisdom-of-chuck-how-to-stop-treading-water-and-start-thriving/) - Ever feel like you’re just treading water? We’ve all been there. Today, I discovered a new perspective that can help us all move beyond just staying afloat. Each day, as I’m dodging squirrels and questionable dog-related smells on my hikes with Izzy (the Wonder Dog), I enjoy a daily chat with my dad, Chuck. Dad
- [The Power of Perspective: Lessons from 36,000 Feet](https://maysleadership.com/the-power-of-perspective-lessons-from-36000-feet/) - From 36,000 feet, the world transforms. The daily details blend into a patchwork of farms, forests, cities, and rivers. As I fly over Lake Michigan, its expansive shoreline reaching the horizon, I’m compelled to adopt a broader view. My perspective shifts dramatically. Suddenly, life’s problems appear smaller, less daunting, and entirely manageable. From this height,
- [The Essential Foundation of Effective Leadership](https://maysleadership.com/the-essential-foundation-of-effective-leadership/) - Things were going smoothly. I managed to get on an earlier flight to Dallas, giving me some bonus time. On my way to the pickup area, a kiosk caught my attention. It advertised a new ride-sharing company called Zride. Curious, I approached the attendant, who assured me their cars were immediately available, saving me from
- [From Flaming Chaos to Strategic Leadership: A Culinary Lesson in Focus](https://maysleadership.com/from-flaming-chaos-to-strategic-leadership-a-culinary-lesson-in-focus/) - I carefully placed broken eggshells on the Baked Alaska just as the head chef pulled it from the oven. These shells were perfect receptacles for the flammable rum, eagerly poured by our new sous chef, still adjusting to the ship’s relentless motion. Following close behind, the head chef ignited the rum, creating a spectacular, flickering
- [Ignored Maintenance: The Hidden Danger in Your Business](https://maysleadership.com/ignored-maintenance-the-hidden-danger-in-your-business/) - So, there I stood—the chef’s apron ablaze, the Baked Alaska engulfed in a fiery rum-induced disaster, and the kitchen resembling a scene from an action movie. Pure chaos. In this surreal moment, I wondered, “How did I end up here?” Just weeks before, I’d rolled into Bar Harbor on my motorcycle with an empty wallet
- [Is Your Brain Holding You Back? Time to Update Your Mental Software](https://maysleadership.com/is-your-brain-holding-you-back-time-to-update-your-mental-software/) - Ever wonder what your brain is making you do? For many of us, that delightful, squishy architect of reality remains stuck replaying outdated childhood survival strategies. Think about it: your inner five-year-old is still calling the shots, just now with a more sophisticated vocabulary and perhaps a serious coffee habit. Early on, your brain cleverly
- [Listening to the Songbirds: Appreciating Your Team’s True Value](https://maysleadership.com/listening-to-the-songbirds-appreciating-your-teams-true-value/) - The songbirds are back. Winter’s quietude has given way to the chorus-filled air of spring. It took me a while to notice. On my morning walk with Izzy today, I was head down, lost in thought, oblivious to my surroundings. Suddenly, Izzy, my wonder dog, stopped and refused to budge, jolting me from my mental
- [Generosity: The Ultimate Secret Advantage in Leadership](https://maysleadership.com/generosity-the-ultimate-secret-advantage-in-leadership/) - Generosity—is it truly valuable, or just for saints and suckers? In today’s world, where high-profile leaders often equate success with hoarding wealth, generosity can seem counterintuitive. Shouldn’t we prioritize accumulating wealth, aspiring to our personal Scrooge McDuck-style fortune? Isn’t the pursuit of billionaire status the ultimate goal? On the other hand, we’ve all witnessed excessively
- [𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝗬𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻](https://maysleadership.com/𝗧𝗵𝗲-𝗢𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀-𝗬𝗲𝘁-𝗨𝗻𝘀/) - This morning, my daily walk began not with a spring in my step, but a spin in my head. My brain was lost deep into the day's agenda.My attention drifted deeper, buried in the fantasy of my mind (and the stress it created).Lost in this cerebral circus, my hand, still attached to a leash, suddenly
- [Breaking Through Comfort Zones: Lessons from a Zip Line in Costa Rica](https://maysleadership.com/breaking-through-comfort-zones-lessons-from-a-zip-line-in-costa-rica/) - What do you get when you combine a zip line, a deep canyon, and an existential crisis? Recently, I found myself in exactly that scenario, thanks to my youngest son’s inspiring courage during our family trip to Costa Rica.

- [Do You Have a Stone in Your Soup? Addressing Toxic Expertise](https://maysleadership.com/do-you-have-a-stone-in-your-soup-addressing-toxic-expertise/) - Do you have a stone in your soup? I’ve been spending more time on LinkedIn lately. It’s got that professional yet relaxed vibe, full of announcements, job changes, investment opportunities, and, yes, plenty of content the algorithm mistakenly believes I need. Still, it’s better than scrolling endlessly through Facebook. However, there’s one “expert” on my
- [Unlocking Executive Magnetism: How Alignment Drives Leadership Success](https://maysleadership.com/unlocking-executive-magnetism-how-alignment-drives-leadership-success/) - Imagine this: you’re an executive destined for greatness. You’ve got the corner office, the tailored suits, and a coffee mug humorously labeled “World’s Okayest Boss” (working your way toward “Best”). Yet something essential feels missing—like an old magnet that’s lost its pull. Enter magnetism—but not the kind that attracts paperclips to your forehead. We’re talking
- [Time Stood Still: Embracing Your Next Chapter](https://maysleadership.com/time-stood-still-embracing-your-next-chapter/) - Have you ever experienced one of those moments when time seems to pause, where past and present collide so vividly that you’re left profoundly changed? Let me share one of mine. Picture this: our Jeep seemed intent on achieving low-altitude flight, snowboards strapped to the roof acting like rebellious little wings pulling us upward. Donovan,

It mirrors life itself. Often, we become so absorbed by the daily hustle that we forget to slow down, to pause, to truly savor life’s moments.

I learned firsthand how the very qualities that bring us success can also lead to our undoing.

- [Transforming Manufacturing Chaos into Profit and Productivity](https://maysleadership.com/transforming-manufacturing-chaos-into-profit-and-productivity/) - Imagine a manufacturing facility running like a squirrel trapped in a pinball machine—except the squirrel is panicking, and the pinball machine is overflowing with scrap. Deliveries? Operating on their own leisurely schedule, as if dictated by falling coconuts. Safety protocols? More like motivational posters than actual guidelines. And the profit margins? They’ve seemingly taken a
- [Full Moons, Werewolves, and Business Mayhem](https://maysleadership.com/full-moons-werewolves-and-business-mayhem/) - Beware—tonight, the crazy comes out. It’s a full moon.

- [Bulls, Flights, and Finding Your “Philadelphia”](https://maysleadership.com/bulls-flights-and-finding-your-philadelphia/) - Yesterday, we took a spontaneous trip to the local rodeo, and my friends somehow convinced me to ride a cow.

- [What’s The Context?](https://maysleadership.com/whats-the-context/) - Diving deeper into the concept of context in communication, it’s akin to the soil that nourishes the roots of a plant. Just as the quality of the soil determines the health of the plant, the context determines the effectiveness of our communication.
