In late March, I invited people to join me in an experimental weekly Zoom video call for some mutual inspiration. I committed to hosting these sessions for one month, but the response was so overwhelming we continued for four months. After we closed the project so many people asked us to continue that we decided to relent and relaunch as “Spirit@Work® with Dr. Lance Secretan”. If you would enjoy some education, humor, community and personal growth with like-minded souls in these challenging times, I think you would find it very inspiring. You can register here: https://tinyurl.com/y7r33z42 or by clicking the button below. We use the free Spirit@Work® mobile app which you can download to your phone at the Google Play Store or iTunes store. Just search for “Spirit@Work Cards”! Or you can scan the QR code that is below.
If you have been participating in these sessions over the past four months, please share a comment in “Comments” section bekow.
Our first session will be on July 16 – I do hope you will join us – I look forward to seeing you then.
Are You Part of the Problem? Or Part of the Solution?
I don’t know about you, but I have noticed myself complaining more than usual lately—about polarized politics, climate change inactivity, religious intolerance, and most of all, about the inability of so many people to “hear” others and their views, with respect and...
Right Intention; Wrong Solution!
In my most recent book, The Bellwether Effect, I list the eight things that we tend to do in modern organizations that turn off (demotivate) employees so thoroughly that 80% of the population would give up their day jobs if they had a free choice. (I also describe the...
Reclaiming Corporate Trust and Respect
For centuries the Roman Catholic Church dominated the world. In time, city states, and subsequently nation states, filled the vacuum caused by the decline of the church’s power in the world. More recently, these were replaced by corporations who have come to...
Serving ALL People
The Business Roundtable consisting of 181 CEOs of the largest corporations in America just issued a statement updating their definition of the Purpose of the Corporation. It’s framed as a “Mission Statement”. (Followers of our work will recall that I believe mission...
Who Are You Mentoring and Sponsoring?
When I was 27, with my self-awareness and worldview vastly exaggerated in my own mind, I suddenly became the CEO of Manpower Limited. Possessing nothing but raw ambition, self-confidence and limited skills, I launched into my new role. The reason I found myself...
Hanging out with, and learning from, your peers.
I just spent a wonderful weekend with 30 of the top Thought Leaders in the world. Every conversation was influential, informative and change-making. I learned a lot, was in awe of the influence the wisdom of my peers is having on the world, and, although I knew many...
The Gap
Almost every day, one or more people will tell me how stressed they are and how time constrained their lives have become. It almost seems as if this is a relentlessly worsening epidemic. In my work as a coach to leaders, I help my clients understand that there is no...
The Word We Can’t Speak
There is one word that—even in our sophisticated 21st century world—we are still afraid to say at work…. One word we are afraid of. One word that every single person in the world wants to hear and be told, and yet we cannot bring ourselves to use it at work. This...

The Lessons of Golf
My father was a scratch golfer, defined by the USGA as a player who can play to a Course Handicap of zero on any and all rated golf courses. My Dad golfed, or caddied with, and for, the best golfers of his day and could easily have turned pro. He labored...

Want to be More Inspiring? Get Rid of “Secrets”!
Executives are notorious information hoarders. And keeping secrets creates suspicion and breeds distrust. In my work with leaders, I am constantly surprised by how many leaders believe the false notion that certain information is too sensitive to share with employees....
