We're All in This Together

It's easy for whatever is happening right in front of us, especially when it's stressful, frustrating, or scary, to feel bigger than it actually is. On this episode, I talk about the importance of keeping things in perspective and learning to "right-size" the situations we're dealing with. I also discuss how we can take the challenges in our lives seriously without allowing them to consume us, and share some simple ways to give the things we're facing the appropriate amount of attention, energy, and care.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins  

We're living through a time of significant change, uncertainty, and disruption, which makes it easy to feel overwhelmed or reactive. On this episode, I explore the importance of staying grounded and paying attention to what's actually happening, instead of simply defaulting to our usual patterns. I also discuss how asking, "What does this moment require from me?" or "What does this moment require from us?" can help us show up more effectively in our relationships, our work, our teams, and our lives.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Curiosity Shop Podcast with Brene Brown and Adam Grant  

Wanting can inspire us, energize us, and help us create meaningful change, but it can also bring up fear, attachment, and the possibility of disappointment. On this episode, I explore my own complicated relationship with desire, why we sometimes limit our dreams to what seems achievable, and how wanting more can coexist with genuinely appreciating what we already have. I also discuss how we can become more honest about what we truly want, pursue our desires with intention, and remain open to receiving what comes without making our happiness dependent on a specific outcome.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins  

On this episode, I talk with my friend Shawn Vanderhoven about his brand-new book, Pause: How to Lead Brilliant Work in a Busy World. We explore why slowing down is essential for meaningful work, how leaders can create the conditions for their teams to perform at their best, and why intentional pauses are more important than ever in today's fast-paced, AI, distraction-filled world. Whether you lead a team or simply yourself, this conversation offers practical wisdom for finding greater focus, clarity, and impact.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Pause: How to Lead Brilliant Work in a Busy World, by Shawn Vanderhoven  

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and work at an incredible pace, creating both excitement and uncertainty. On this episode, I explore why the AI revolution has so much in common with the mergers, reorganizations, and major changes I've spent years helping organizations navigate. I talk about the emotions people experience during times of disruption, why our humanity matters more than ever, and how we can lead ourselves and others with authenticity, resilience, and compassion as we embrace the opportunities and challenges of this new era.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins The Oprah Podcast with Shawn Achor
