You're doing everything right, staying productive, chasing growth, keeping up. But what if the discomfort you feel isn't a sign that you need to do more, but a signal to let go? In this episode, Charlie Gilkey and I explore the Tao Te Ching, which is one of my favorite books of all time, but not as a relic from the past, but as a guide for navigating the speed and complexities of modern life, including the rise of AI.We talk about how ancient wisdom can live side by side with new technology and how presence, simplicity, and inner alignment still matter, now more than ever,The Tao Te Ching is one of those books I keep coming back to. Ancient wisdom, wrapped in poetry, that somehow feels more relevant every year. Like this line: “If you look to others for happiness, you will never be happy. If your well-being depends on money, you will never be content.“Simple. Clear. Actually useful.I've teamed up with Rebind.ai to create an interactive edition of the Tao—forty essential verses, translated into plain, everyday language, with space to reflect, explore, and ask questions. It's like having a conversation not just with the Tao, but with me too.

Have you ever felt stuck pursuing a path that didn't truly resonate with you? A career, creative endeavor or major life change that you committed to fully, told the world it's what you were doing, and who you were now…only to realize it wasn't what you really wanted?  Today, we're going to explore a more forgiving approach - one that allows you to experiment and gather critical data before going all-in. Imagine if you could "date" a potential pursuit, getting to know it intimately, before deciding whether to take that next step. What if the weight of having to definitively choose was lifted, allowing a sense of playfulness and curiosity to guide your exploration? My partner in conversation today is Charlie Gilkey, a strategic advisor, executive coach, founder of the Productive Flourishing consultancy, and author of the multi-award-winning book, Start Finishing and Team Habits. Charlie brings a wealth of wisdom for trying on new identities through low-risk projects and experiments.

“It's The Dark Matter Of Business” Join me and my guest Charlie Gilkey (charliegilkey.com), CEO of Productive Flourishing (productiveflourishing.com). Charlie has advised hundreds of teams, from Fortune 100 companies to tiny nonprofits and is the author of the critically acclaimed Start Finishing: How to Go From Idea to Done and his current book, Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results. We explore the concept of Compassionate Capitalism and its implications for team dynamics and performance – especially the role of team habits in achieving extraordinary results. Summary In this conversation, Blaine Bartlett and Charlie Gilkey explore the concept of compassionate capitalism and its implications for team dynamics and performance. They discuss the importance of understanding the "soul of business" as a living organism, the role of team habits in achieving extraordinary results, and the significance of belonging and communication within teams. The dialogue emphasizes the need for explicit communication of goals and conditions of satisfaction, as well as the challenges of maintaining excellence in a comfortable environment. Ultimately, they highlight the distinction between groups and teams, advocating for a culture of interdependence and shared commitment to improvement. Takeaways Compassionate Capitalism emphasizes the interconnectedness of all business actions. Teams are a collection of relationships that require conscious effort to maintain. Team habits can either reinforce bad practices or promote positive change. Belonging within a team enhances performance and problem-solving capabilities. Conditions of satisfaction must be articulated to ensure team alignment. Making the obvious explicit helps avoid misunderstandings and misalignments. Cordial hypocrisy can hinder performance; teams must prioritize excellence over comfort. High-performing teams distinguish themselves through shared commitment and accountability. Interdependence is crucial for effective teamwork and achieving goals. Leadership should focus on the "why" rather than the "how" to empower teams Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special anniversary episode, Charlie Gilkey and Maghan Haggerty reflect on the five-year milestone of Start Finishing, diving deep into its impact on their lives, the lives of their community, and Productive Flourishing's evolution over the past 17 years. They explore how doing your best work transforms you as an individual and creates ripple effects for leaders and their entire teams.Topics We Explored:* The deeper paradox of productivity: Why do we often end up putting off the things we really want to do in life to some later date? (When that means we may not ever start, let alone finish, those projects.) * The origins of Start Finishing as a book, and the driving force behind it, namely to argue for doing the work that matters and treating one's "best work" as priority — and what that changes in how we approach meaningful projects.* All the ways in which personal and team success are interconnected, and how Charlie's third book Team Habits built on the foundations of Start Finishing.* The multitude of “best work” stories we've heard from people around the world who, as a result of finding Start Finishing, have finished the projects that matter.* Embracing life and work simultaneously by living and working with purpose, and finding joy in the process. * Charlie's vision for the future of "Productive Flourishing", inviting people to embrace the "get to" mindset (“getting to” do the work we've dreamed of doing.)

When things get extra busy and I start to feel the overwhelm kick in, I thrash around, lose the thread, and then…I always turn to my momentum planner and Charlie Gilkey.  A friend, productivity expert, former military strategist and compassionate mentor to the disorganized who crave feeling productive and want to get stuff done but in a way that feels sane and realistic. He's my go to when I need to re-center the externals in my life. I have really been feeling caught in the swirl lately.  So many things and plans changed after meeting the Grandmother's that I got a bit lost in it all. It was time to sort myself out and create a schedule for the next 90 days. Stress less and enjoy more. Since I was listening to this episode from my 2021 Inspired to Life Summit with Charlie today anyway to help myself, I figured I'd offer it up here again to you, as a rerun, in case you also could use a little reorienting of your life. Enjoy this insightful and practical conversation about how to manage the challenges of today's productivity, navigate all the personal growth options, and reclaim your personal power to feel sane, sovereign and productive.  You'll discover: 1. It's okay to prioritize your well-being. Learn the importance of setting boundaries, identifying your needs, and managing your time effectively to prioritize your personal well-being and fulfillment. 2. It's all about creating a successful support network. Understand the roles of mavens, connectors, and salespeople, and learn how to ask for and receive help without feeling indebted. 3. Let's redefine what productivity and success mean to us. Challenge the traditional notions of productivity, embrace the art of letting go, and find meaningful choices that align with your personal aspirations and values. Thank you so much for tuning in.

Have you ever started the new year feeling unstoppable, only to hit February and realize your plans need a major refresh? I've been there too. The ambitious goals we set in January can seem so achievable in the moment. But life has a way of asserting itself. Unexpected challenges arise. Priorities shift. New opportunities emerge. The question is: what do you do when you find yourself at this crossroads? Do you rigidly cling to outdated plans and force failure? Or do you have the courage to tear up the blueprint and start again aligned with your new reality? My guest today, Charlie Gilkey, is intimately familiar with this entrepreneurial rite of passage. In our conversation, Charlie shares his wisdom on what to do when you realize it's time to reconsider your goals. With insight gained from years of experience, he reveals how to take stock of where you actually are right now, not where you hoped to be, and create an updated plan aligned with that reality. With Charlie's guidance, you'll learn how to rework your plans while honoring the past and creating space for the emergence of new possibilities.

Michelle and I like to use Charlie Gilkey's Four Project Rule from his book Start Finishing to help create our yearly resolution. Charlie recommends limiting yourself to no more than four projects a quarter. He includes things like moving and starting a new job as a project as they require a significant portion of our time. These projects can be re-visited every quarter. Projects that become systematic habits can be removed from the projects listMichelle and I also like to create a theme for the year as well. I like for this theme to be poetic and capture the general spirit of the new year. Theme for 2023: I tend to the garden of my beingTheme for 2024: I play in gardens of abundance Last year, I focused on taking care of my needs and I embodied this. This culminated in me quitting my job. This year I am focusing on enjoying the fruits of my previous labors. The focus is to play in life. I don't have to take everything so seriously this year because I realize I already have everything I need. This year is about enjoying life. Show notesCharlie Gilkey author of Start FinishingCharlie Gilkey's piece on projects: January 2024 Planning Tips: Projects, Not ResolutionsSparketype Episode Part 1 Sparketype Episode Part 2Sparketype Assessment Community TimeHappy Birthday Michelle!We hit 25k downloads!

"Atomic habits" are great, but "team habits" are better. Author, coach, consultant, philosopher, and former Army officer Charlie Gilkey explains why teams are so important and how to build them.

This week I was excited to welcome Charlie Gilkey back to the show to talk about his latest book, Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results. Charlie has been on the show before to discuss his previous book Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done. He is the founder of Productive Flourishing, a company that helps professional creatives, leaders, and changemakers take meaningful action on work that matters. He is internationally known as a thought leader on productivity, planning, strategy, and leadership for creative people. Charlie is also the author of The Small Business Life Cycle, and is widely cited in outlets such as Inc., Time, Forbes, the Guardian, Lifehacker, and more. He's also an Army veteran and near-PhD in philosophy. In this conversation, Charlie shares his insights on the power of teamwork and discusses his new book, presenting a fresh perspective on improving team productivity. We discuss the importance of team dynamics to overcome challenges and mistakes addressing the significance of individual and team communication habits in enhancing productivity and performance. We also discuss the impact that small issues can have within a team, highlighting the downstream effects of broken systems on morale and camaraderie. Charlie points out the impact of adding new team members and the need to focus on improving team habits rather than changing individual team members. This is a great talk for anyone who may be struggling to find practical strategies for creating a better working environment. We discuss finding ways to improve team meetings and addressing small problems that lead to inefficiencies while also focusing on how we can be more humane and understanding with our co-workers while continuing to maintain high standards. As we head into the New Year this chat and of course Charlie's book are great guides to get teams thinking about better communication, improved habits, and most importantly more enjoyable and productive work days in 2024.  Connect with Charlie: Better Team Habits Productive Flourishing Charlie's Previous Episode Book LinkedIn Twitter Connect with Erik: Sign Up For Our Newsletter Submit a Question For Our Mailbag Episode LinkedIn  Twitter  Facebook  Instagram  ________________________________________ Learn more about your ad choices.

You can calm chaos at work, but it starts with a reality check from Charlie Gilkey, delivered with his signature wit and generosity: You might not have a team problem, you have a you problem. It's time to stop catering to air sandwiches, Crisco watermelons, broken printers, ghost plans, and other corrosive practices, and start implementing Charlie's finely-tuned, road-tested systems instead. Today we're talking about his new book Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results. We also talk about scaling from maker to manager (and sometimes back again), accounting for those who don't want the added social overhead of that (often due to some combination of hoarding control, people-pleasing, introversion, and empathy).

Charlie is a former Army logistics officer and near-PhD in philosophy living in Portland, Oregon.

Welcome to another episode of Inside Personal Growth. Joining us the second time around, this time, to share insights about his new book Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results is Charlie Gilkey.

This is the 4th installment in Strange New Work, a special series from What Works that explores how speculative fiction can help us imagine new ways of working.Social and professional norms aren't natural or innate. They're political. Those in power exert their preferences on those who aren't, and throughout history, have exerted social, cultural, and physical violence to either force subjugated people to assimilate or drive them out of society altogether.Speculative fiction is rife with tales of imperial conquest and colonization. And it's helpful for identifying the kinds of control and domination that we deal with daily, even though many of us never notice it. Speculative fiction can help us see harm for what it is, recognize the damage done by colonizers, and imagine forms of resistance. In today's episode, I dive into the harms of imperialism, how supremacy culture forms the basis of professionalism, how Indigenous futurism gives us a way to "imagine otherwise," and what coach and author Charlie Gilkey recommends for creating a culture of belonging at work through team habits.Footnotes: "Remote work gave them a reprieve.

Are your team habits good or bad? Often times, we haven't asked ourselves this question, but habits exist within teams whether or not we are aware of them. Small bad habits can ruin morale and lead to people leaving. Luckily, Charlie Gilkey joins us on the podcast to discuss lessons from his new book, Team Habits. We cover why team habits matter, how to create a feeling of belonging within your team, tactics for decision making and why you should never take on more than five projects at a time.  Whether your team has good habits or bad habits, this conversation will provide context for different ways to build great team habits and as a result, happier teams. Charlie Gilkey has advised hundreds of teams, from Fortune 100 companies to tiny nonprofits, through Productive Flourishing, the coaching and training company he founded.His current book, Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results, shows how changing your team habits is the most effective, enduring way to improve team performance and belonging. His previous book, Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done, is a Publishers Weekly Fall 2019 Top 10 Business and Economics Book, a Kirkus Reviews Top Indie Book, and the winner of the Eric Hoffer Grand Prize in 2020.

There are rules you know about—and rules you don't. Some rules are written down—and other rules are "just the way things are." And there are rules that make things clear to everyone—and rules that exclude through their lack of clarity.Charlie Gilkey is on a mission to bring those unclear rules and unspoken agreements out in the open and improve the way we work in the process. His new book, Team Habits: How Small Changes Lead to Extraordinary Results, is both a treatise on better work and a detailed manual for achieving it. In this episode, I talk with Charlie about how what seems obvious often isn't—and how that negatively impacts our work environments. We also talk about how to start changing things for the better.This episode is one part of my longer conversation with Charlie! You'll hear more from him in my upcoming series, Strange New Work.

How many times have you said yes to something, started it, gotten halfway through, then either been distracted, run out of time, energy, money, ideas, motivation, or all the above? And, just kind of walk away, leaving something that could've been amazing unfinished? Never getting the chance to back in the I DID THAT glow of accomplishment and tell everyone around you, “hey, I DID that!” And, yes, I'm raising my hand here.And, what about being able to do what's important without it also taking over your life, and leaving you living reactively? Wouldn't it be cool if there were ways, strategies, tools, processes and technology that could dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to get things done, so you could have so much more free time to do all the other stuff you love to do? Including absolutely nothing at all?
