How important it is to walk along, not in haste but slowly, looking at everything and calling out Yes! No! The swan, for all his pomp, his robes of grass and petals, wants only to be allowed to live on the nameless pond. The catbrier is without fault. The water thrushes, down among the sloppy rocks, are going crazy with happiness. Imagination is better than a sharp instrument. To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work. — Mary Oliver, "Yes! No!" Owls and Other Fantasies: Poems and Essays, Beacon Press, Boston, 2003, p. 27   In this week's release of A Leadership Beyond, hosts Adrienne Guerrero and Tom Rosenak welcomed Michele Stowe, founder of Skyrocket Coaching, to discuss her continuous journey of aligning work with her core life values. Michele's story offers valuable insights for leaders seeking to create healthier work environments, achieve success with personal balance. During the interview, Michele shared valuable insights about leadership and energy management along with other insightst: The impact of energy: Nonprofit C-suite leaders are experiencing unprecedented challenges in today's environment. One client told her, "I just don't want to keep leading in unprecedented times," having navigated through the pandemic and continued uncertainty. There are always trade offs and we must learn to make choices with greater intentionality. Intentional role modeling: Leaders must be thoughtful about how they spend their time and demonstrate this to their teams. By showing employees that there are various ways to restore energy—whether through hiking, playing music, or spending time with family—leaders create space for everyone to find what works for them. Understanding cultural dynamics: Michele emphasized the importance of recognizing the cultural dynamics at play in an organization—including geographic, sector-specific, company, and generational differences in work expectations—and determining whether one's values align with that culture. After interviewing 100 nonprofit C-suite leaders with more than five years in their roles, Michele developed a framework for effective leadership: The Listen, Lead, and Love Your Work framework which she shares during our conversation. Michelle's story reminds us that leaders have the power to shape both their own work experiences and their organizational cultures. By listening deeply, modeling self-care, finding joy in work, and establishing meaningful measures of success, leaders can create environments where both they and their teams thrive.

"Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?" asks Mary Oliver in  her poem "The Summer Day." On January 17, 2019, her many fans — including the co-hosts of this podcast — discovered just how real this question was, as we reeled from the news of Oliver's death at the age of 83. Even before the podcast was launched in late 2017, Mary Oliver was on our dream list of persons we would like to interview. The word on the street was that she rarely gave interviews, but we remained optimistic, periodically sending her requests in the hope that one day she would say yes. Even as recently as our 2018 End of Year Episode, we confessed that Oliver was the one person we most wanted to interview. Less than three weeks after that episode was released, Oliver passed away due to lymphoma. Well — we may not have fulfilled our dream of interviewing Mary Oliver, but we did the next best thing: in today's episode we reflect together on our shared love for this most popular of contemporary poets — from Cassidy, who has loved Oliver's work for years, to Carl, who began reading Oliver because of Cassidy's and Kevin's love for her work. While poetry has become an increasingly important theme of this podcast, we remain devoted primarily to a conversation about silence, so naturally this episode includes some thoughts on the most mysterious silence of all: the silence of death. The poems we mention on this episode include: "The Summer Day" from House of Light "Wild Geese" from Dream Work "Moments" from Felicity "What I Said at Her Service" from Thirst "Whistling Swans" from Felicity "Gethsemane" from Thirst "One or Two Things" from Dream Work "The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac" from Blue Horses "In Blackwater Woods" from American Primitive Among the many books we love by Mary Oliver: Mary Oliver, No Voyage and Other Poems Mary Oliver, The River Styx, Ohio, and Other Poems Mary Oliver, The Night Traveler Mary Oliver, Twelve Moons Mary Oliver, American Primitive Mary Oliver, Dream Work Mary Oliver, House of Light Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook Mary Oliver, White Pine: Poems and Prose Poems Mary Oliver, Blue Pastures Mary Oliver, West Wind: Poems and Prose Poems Mary Oliver, Rules for the Dance: A Handbook for Writing and Reading Metrical Verse Mary Oliver, Winter Hours: Prose, Prose Poems, and Poems Mary Oliver, The Leaf and the Cloud Mary Oliver, What Do We Know: Poems and Prose Poems Mary Oliver, Owls and Other Fantasies: Poems and Essays Mary Oliver, Blue Iris: Poems and Essays Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings Mary Oliver, Why I Wake Early: New Poems Mary Oliver, At Blackwater Pond: Mary Oliver Reads Mary Oliver Mary Oliver, Thirst Mary Oliver, Our World with photographs by Molly Malone Cook Mary Oliver, Red Bird Mary Oliver, The Truro Bear and Other Adventures: Poems and Essays Mary Oliver, Evidence Mary Oliver, Swan: Poems and Prose Poems Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems Mary Oliver, Dog Songs Mary Oliver, Blue Horses Mary Oliver, Felicity Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems Kevin also mentioned the Buddhist poet Jane Hirshfield, author of Nine Gates: Entering the MInd of Poetry.

No!" by Mary Oliver is found in Owls and Other Fantasies: Poems and Essays, Beacon Press, Boston, 2003, p. 27. How necessary it is to have opinions! I think the spotted trout lilies are satisfied, standing a few inches above the earth. I think serenity is not something you just find in the world, like a plum tree, holding up its white petals. The violets, along the river, are opening their blue faces, like small dark lanterns. The green mosses, being so many, are as good as brawny. How important it is to walk along, not in haste but slowly, looking at everything and calling out Yes! No! The swan, for all his pomp, his robes of grass and petals, wants only to be allowed to live on the nameless pond. The catbrier is without fault. The water thrushes, down among the sloppy rocks, are going crazy with happiness. Imagination is better than a sharp instrument. To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.

“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.” ― Mary Oliver, Owls and Other Fantasies: Poems and Essays Startups are founded with outcome in mind--creating needed change in the world, a successful exit, or most commonly, both. Holding our desired outcomes, or endings, builds the drive for our best work. But when things don’t unfold along the lines or on the trajectory we desire, it can be easy to generalize the entirety of our efforts as a failure. Tarikh Korula has founded a number of companies but has yet to achieve an exit. In this episode Jerry and Tarikh discuss how we define failure and how we hold the tragic gap--the space between where we do the work and our often elusive end aspirations.
