Worked hard, ate well, soaked up the sunshine and connected with some incredible people along the way!

Proof that business travel is just a carefully balanced mix of meetings, meals and moments of caffeine-fueled fun. BIG thank you to the Western Region Territory Managers at TW Metals!

Business travel doesn’t have to be all meetings and airports. Sometimes the best way to recharge your mind and body is to sneak in a little fun between commitments.

Today’s challenge: a short adventure can go a long way - even if it involves standing on a floating dock and suddenly discovering your sea legs are still in training!

Loved spending some time with the women of TW Metals in Baltimore, MD this week!

Our very own Alissa Owsley was on-site delivering an interactive keynote called "Communication Matters." There’s nothing quite like the energy of an in-person session where everyone is ready to dive in and learn (or unlearn). Thanks for inviting us to join the conversation, TW!

One of the frequent laments we hear from leaders: "When will things finally slow down?" Our honest response? They won't.

We've spent years watching brilliant leaders struggle — not because they lacked skill, but because they couldn't let go of what made them successful in the first place. That's the expert trap, and almost no one talks about it.

Rachel Heisten sat down with Andy Wilson with Doing Business in Bentonville to dig into all of it — unlearning, leading through permanent change, and why curiosity might be your most underrated leadership tool.

It was a GREAT conversation. Thank you, Andy! Full episode below. 👇

Leadership longevity requires constant evolution, yet most executive training programs rely on standard, outdated checklists that ignore human behavior. When...

Don’t mind us…we’re just over here geeking out about metal!

We always enjoy it when our clients allow us access to more than a conference room. Really appreciated getting a tour of the TW Metals Wichita warehouse…fascinating processes!

How can you help employees through “unsexy” organizational change?

Rachel and Alissa share a tidbit of insight while navigating “unsexy” business travel in a noisy airport!

Courageous leaders don’t dodge uncomfortable conversations—they step into them willingly. They know that feedback isn’t criticism, it’s a GIFT. When given with care and clarity, it helps people grow, teams trust, and cultures stay healthy.

Do you want to learn how to say hard things with care and clarity? LifeWork can help!

Trust is built in moments, not mission statements. And when leaders become intentional about growing trust, their teams will grow everything else.
