Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
As you become vintage, people want to put you behind glass. In a room. Label you. Make you something to admire from a distance but not engage with. Something that was but isn’t anymore. Too many of us believe them. We step back. We make ourselves smaller. We accept the shelf. But that’s not vintage. […]

You’re not 30 anymore, building a first career. You’ve got decades of experience behind you. You’ve watched colleagues do brilliant work and you’ve seen others phone it in. You know the difference. You learned and benefited from it all. So here’s the question: Are you holding yourself to the same standard you’ve held others and […]

Your work speaks for you or your work speaks against you. There’s no neutral ground. No escape hatch. People see it immediately—the quality, the thought, the care you put in. They don’t need your explanations or your credentials. They experience what you deliver, and that tells them everything about whether they can trust you. When […]

Some people work hard to matter in all the wrong ways. They disrupt instead of connect. They poison conversations instead of contributing to them. Think of them as spam in your inbox—loud, insistent trolls, demanding attention they have not earned. Here’s what they’re counting on: your reaction. Your anger. Your time. But you have a […]

You’re going to get noticed. The question is: for what? Every day, you’re deciding which kind of attention you want to command. The person who shows up with integrity, who does the work, who delivers quality and treats people with kindness and respect – they become the center of attention through presence, not performance. People […]

Some people welcome kindness like sunlight. They expect it, respond to it, feel instant gratitude. The exchange is clean, mutual, life-giving. Others armor themselves against it. They deflect kindness offered to them. They withhold it from others. When you extend your hand, they turn away—sometimes with rudeness, sometimes with insults, sometimes with calculated indifference and […]

You’re being attacked. Someone at work, in your community, relentlessly pushing every button you have. Your body wants to fight back. Your mind rehearses the perfect comeback. And kindness says: don’t. Not because you’re weak. Because you’re strategic. Real kindness is the hard assessment that this person—unstable, unwell in ways you can’t diagnose—will only escalate […]

I’m writing about covering up – favorably known as CYA – Covering Your Ass. It can be for a good reason or for a bad reason. To protect oneself from blame, negative consequences, mistakes, and failures. We CYA at work by meeting responsibilities and doing the best work we can. Or we cover to get […]

You’re being lied to about retirement. About aging. About when you’re supposed to be done and fade away. Science tells you it’s genetics—that centenarians won the lottery, that your lifespan was determined at birth. Meanwhile, society whispers that at 65, maybe 70, you should gracefully withdraw. Stop working. Stop contributing. Accept irrelevance. Harvard’s 85-year Study […]

When the walls close in—when your ego’s been punched hard, mistakes exposed, or promises broken—there’s a powerful urge to just run. Quit. Disappear before the full truth emerges. Maybe you’ve been working in old, comfortable ways that don’t work anymore. Perhaps you’ve neglected projects, hurt people without taking responsibility, or made choices that are now […]
