In order to bring our whole selves to work and to fully engage in our lives we need to make taking care of ourselves a priority. In this week’s episode I share some of my own current challenges with self-care and explore how we can take better care of ourselves. The way we work and live these days doesn’t always lend itself to prioritizing our well-being. And, if we’re going to do our work with authenticity, depth, and impact, and live our lives in a healthy and productive way, we have to figure out ways to care for ourselves that nourish us.
In today’s solo episode, I use the Golden State Warriors as an example of a team that exemplifies a true championship team. As a lifelong fan of the Warriors, born and raised in Oakland, I’ve witnessed plenty of failure from this franchise over the years. The current incarnation of the Golden State Warriors, who just won their third NBA title in the past four seasons, however, is arguably one of the greatest teams in basketball history.
And, not only have they been incredibly successful on the court, they have built a team culture that is remarkable (which I believe is one of the keys to their extraordinary performance). It doesn’t matter if it’s in business or in sports, when we make a commitment to each other and to the chemistry of the team, incredible things can happen. In this episode, I outline five specific things the Warriors have done to create their success, which I think any team can emulate in order to enhance their culture and performance.

During this episode, I unpack the fifth and final principal, Create a Championship Team. A positive culture is an intangible, foundational element of teams and organizations that achieve peak performance. Building a strong culture and good team chemistry involves fostering a psychologically safe environment where people can be real, develop, celebrate, connect, and embrace their humanness.

During this episode, I talk about the importance of embracing a growth mindset. Growth mindset is a powerful concept introduced to the world over a decade ago by Stanford professor Carol Dweck. Our ability to adapt to change, take feedback, and look at everything that comes our way, even and especially challenges, as growth opportunities dramatically impacts our success and fulfillment at work and in life.
