Make Meaning to Spark Motivation (Without Sounding Like a Walking Mission Statement) You’ve seen it. Maybe you’ve been it—the glazed eyes. The robotic checkbox ticking. The “I’m just here so I don’t get fired” vibe. It’s not burnout. Not boredom. It’s sneakier than that: disconnection from meaning. That’s where the Clarity Habit “ Make Meaning ” swoops in wearing a cape (but like, a practical one with pockets).

Forgetfulness is costing you time, money, and a ton of missed opportunities. In the age of automation, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a well-trained human mind. But memory isn’t just a parlor trick, it's a strategic edge. Human memory is one of the most underrated business skills. Whether you’re managing people, leading sessions, or having high-stakes conversations, remembering names, details, and concepts can be transformative in building trust, absorbing knowledge, and driving perform

In a given neighborhood, just about all the cars are the same. There are few that are pink, orange or purple, for example. There’s nothing inherently wrong with those frequencies of light. Nothing that modern paint technology can’t deliver, nothing that offends the rods and cones of our eyes. It’s because the color of the car we choose tells a story.

Excited, I brought the idea to my Operations Manager, hoping she’d support me in attending. Her response was surprising and deflating. She simply said, “You don’t need that.” It stopped me cold.

Most business leaders understand how to read financial statements; they’re familiar with terms like “profit margins” and “annual recurring revenue” and they know the numbers. But few have mastered the art of financial fluency: understanding how to interpret and use financial data to make strategic decisions. To have a data-driven competitive advantage, business leaders need to deliver actionable insights from their data.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

It’s usually shown as an inverted pyramid with five categories, ranked from most to least preferred: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Almost every time I facilitate an incident investigation or teach a workshop, someone brings up the hierarchy of controls.
