The Leadership Minute, my new weekly series that offers short and tactical leadership lessons on topics such as prioritization, managing challenging employees, networking like a pro, and having difficult conversations. This is where I am sharing for the first time many of the most valuable tactical lessons I learned from 15 years leading a high-growth organization, and the takeaways are universally applicable to leaders in any industry.

New My Articles Section: For almost a decade, I have been a contributing author publish articles on leadership, culture, people, strategy and marketing for publications such as HBR, Inc, Business Insider, Fast Company, International Business Times and LinkedIn. Unfortunately, many of those articles now sit behind paywalls or are surrounded by incredibly disruptive ads. I am gradually updating and making all of these articles available, ad-free, exclusively for paid subscribers. I’ll be continuing to add updated articles—and publishing new ones—exclusively on Substack. See My Articles
The ability to start new chats and comment on all posts. I will also respond to any comments/questions for paid members.
Foundation Members also get access to monthly Office Hours where they ask me anything live on Zoom.
As an additional benefit, many paid members have found that they don’t even need to pay for their own subscription. Most people can either deduct it as a business expense or submit a subscription for themselves or their teams for reimbursement by their employer. To make this easy for you, here is a helpful template to submit for reimbursement.
Finally, Substack also has a new referral program, which lets you earn credits for a paid subscription just by referring others to sign up for Friday Forward, as a paid or free member. Just sharing the latest Friday Forward with your company may be enough to cover your subscription for the year—learn how at this link.
