Balance is a term frequently tossed around in our culture. Living a balanced life, having a work life balance...These all seem great but the truth is balance is inherently reactive. When we try to find a balance between things that aren't meant to be balanced we find ourselves more reactive and living and leading like we're tight rope walkers uncomfortably trying to cross the Grand Canyon.
There's a better way though. And it starts with rhythm.
On today's episode, Alan and Jonathan are going to spend time helping you REinterpret rhythm over balance and how to move from reactively balancing your life and leadership to a more proactive rhythmic posture of life and leadership.
