keven, i feel greato that i'm right there with you. Monday morning, try to block the first half n hour, hour if you can, 15 minutes if you don't have it. Give yourself a couple of moments to set the intention for the week. Take a look at calendar, what is upcoming. A family look ahead can also be a great way to enter the week. I love that this has been such a wonderful conversation. Do you have any parting advice for some one like me whos feels like they're in leader b mode more than leader a mode?

Before Kevin had kids, he believed they’d bring him pure joy. So after the birth of his first child, he was blindsided by how little joy he actually felt. The big emotions, which people had gushed to him about, never arrived. Instead, he felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and confused. But, over time, he’s learned that joy — at work and at home — is bite-sized and to be savored.

Kevin reflects on the presence of joy in his life and what keeps him from feeling it. Then, leadership development coach Amy Jen Su gives advice for how to get into a state of mind where appreciating the everyday joys of working parenthood comes more easily.
