Are you tired of constantly being told you need to be better? 

Better sleep. Better habits. Better nutrition. More productive. More disciplined. More successful. More optimised. In this episode, I talk about something I’m hearing more and more — personal development fatigue and human optimisation fatigue.

It’s a conversation Chris Williamson has also raised on Modern Wisdom, and it reflects questions I’ve been receiving through social media. Personal development should be a tool that serves your life — your life shouldn’t become something that serves your personal development. 

The Building Better Humans Project will always give you practical, no-BS tools to improve your life, but they are options, not obligations. Take what you need. Leave what you don’t. You’re allowed to work on the person you’re becoming while still appreciating the person you already are. Sometimes you don’t need another habit, another routine or another goal. Sometimes you just need to live.

In this episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, Glenn invites listeners to take a hard look at how they're dealing with their problems. He asks a simple yet profound question: are you breathing life into your problems or dealing with them? The answer might surprise you.

Glenn shares practical strategies for managing our problems without letting them consume us. He explains how our attention is energy, and whatever we focus on will begin to feel larger, closer, and more powerful. He also discusses the importance of defining problems clearly, taking action, and containing them within specific time frames. Additionally, he talks about the dangers of overthinking and how it can disguise itself as problem-solving.

Glenn's advice is not about ignoring problems or pretending they're unimportant, but about placing them in their correct position within our lives. He encourages listeners to ask themselves if their problems deserve the price they're paying, and to consider whether worrying about them is making them better prepared or not. He also reminds us that our problems will eventually cease to exist, but so will our opportunity to live this day.

If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by your problems and want to learn how to manage them more effectively, tune in to this episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast.

Are you Breathing Power into your Problems?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/226342a5-a42e-49e1-b3f1-b4b700922fc1/transcript

Building a strong team requires more than just assembling talented individuals. It's about creating a collective that shares a purpose, trusts one another, and holds each other accountable. In this episode, Glenn delves into the foundations of building a genuine team, highlighting the importance of clarity, trust, standards, belonging, and collective ownership.

A team's success isn't just about individual achievements, but about what they can accomplish together. Glenn emphasizes that leaders must continually connect individual effort to collective purpose, communicate the bigger picture, and demonstrate the behavior they expect from their team. Trust is built through repeated behavior, not motivational speeches or posters, and leaders must model the behavior they want to see in their team.

Glenn shares personal anecdotes from his experience in the Australian Army, where strong teams were built through shared experiences and pressure. He discusses how leaders establish standards through what they demonstrate and tolerate, and how people will watch what you do more closely than they listen to what you say. The episode also touches on the importance of belonging, where people feel they're part of something bigger than themselves, and that their contribution matters.

If you're looking to build a stronger team, this episode is a must-listen. The speaker challenges listeners to assess their own team's dynamics, asking questions like: Do we have a clearly understood purpose? Do we trust each other? Are our standards demonstrated and upheld? And when something goes wrong, do we take ownership or search for someone to blame? 

Listen to this episode to discover how to create an environment where trust, contribution, accountability, and belonging are expected.
