Episode notes

Last week, Mia Cohen🏃‍♀️and I🏃‍♂️ran the Philly Love Run. Mia ran👟the half-marathon in support of the Glioblastoma Foundation and in honor of 2 people close to her who recently passed from that horrifying form of brain cancer. I ran the 1️⃣3️⃣.1️⃣ miles to support Mia. A more inspirational and meaningful experience I cannot imagine.

When you run as slowly as I do, you have A LOT of time to live inside your own head🧠. And throughout the course, I kept coming back to the same thought - how crucial it is for leaders to emphasize to their people the importance of engaging in meaningful nonwork-related activities.💭

In this week's "Like A Boss" episode, I discuss 5️⃣ reasons we, as leaders, MUST encourage our employees to find impactful outlets outside of and unrelated to work. I hope you enjoy the conversation (and some pictures from last weekend's Love Run)!

As always, thank you for watching, for commenting and for sharing! ❤️🙏🫶
