We've long misunderstood hope in the workplace. We've treated it as wishful thinking-a nice-to-have feeling that emerges when things are going well. But research from psychologist C.R. Snyder reveals something far more powerful: Hope is a cognitive process with three essential components: goals (what we want to achieve), pathways (our ability to identify routes to those goals), and agency (our belief that we can pursue those paths). This isn't passive optimism; it's an active strategy for navigating uncertainty and driving meaningful change.

It prompted a lot of skepticism about his fit on the team, mainly due to his apparent behavioral issues that ended his tenures in Buffalo and Minnesota. Although nothing had been said about his time with the Texans, it was still considered a risk to bring him in, particularly with Vrabel trying to establish a new culture in the locker room.

Half the time he disagreed with it, but I felt good about that. I thought that was a really healthy thing.

Today marks a moment of responsibility, service and partnership,

Moi is an outstanding player, a world-class midfield player. I don't know how many headers he has scored in his career, but we are always a threat on set-plays. When you play against a low block, your pivot players can be higher up the pitch. He's scored a couple from outside the box this season and hopefully he can keep chipping in with goals to win us more games of football.

Sometimes Warren Buffett says something so simple, so obvious, that you almost want to roll your eyes. At 95 years young, he has offered plainspoken advice that has shaped one of the most successful careers in history. But when you hear it, you know it's truth and part of you wonders: Why haven't I applied this yet? When we slow down long enough to sit with some of his wisdom-really let it sink in, not just skim it on our phones-

I'm not a runner, but I love to watch the relay.

His career began at ground level, running his own Italian deli, where he learned firsthand how leadership, operations, and customer trust come together in real time. Long hours and daily problem-solving shaped his belief that strong businesses are built through consistency, structure, and accountability. Those early experiences led Anthony to develop a deeper interest in strategy and financial markets. He began studying trends, analysing patterns, and applying disciplined thinking to decision-making.

When Chris Drury made the trade last season for JT Miller to re-join the New York Rangers, the logic was simple, if mildly flawed. Miller is a fiery personality who doesn't accept losing, and the Rangers were doing plenty of losing. Additionally, Miller came at the cost of an oft-injured third line center, a bottom pair defenseman, and a first round draft pick.

Patriots fans might not like who Joe Buck compared Drake Maye to, but the "Monday Night Football" play-by-play announcer tossed some pretty high praise the New England quarterback's way. Buck compared Maye to Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning in the most recent episode of NBC Sports Boston's "Next Pats Podcast." While Maye and Manning don't have similar playing styles, Buck believes he's like the former Patriots rival due to the way he carries himself.

"Seeing Fred Warner and George Kittle out there, Day 1, and how hard they went in the offseason," Purdy said Wednesday in a quiet moment at his locker.

In today's rapidly changing work environment, developing trust among team members is crucial for success. Yet, many organizations struggle to foster an atmosphere of collaboration and understanding, often resulting in communication breakdowns, conflicts, and a decrease in productivity. The inability to trust can be the result of misunderstanding, conflicting values, or misjudging others because they trigger us and remind us of a negative situation or experience in our past.

His answer cut through the noise. "Look," he said, "in the end, there's only one thing that matters, which is trust. We're all in the trust business. That is the business. And the leaders who succeed are the ones who have a reservoir of trust." That idea has stayed with me because it's old wisdom that is increasingly forgotten. We are living through an era obsessed with speed, scale, and technology.

That reflection is "one of the reasons we sometimes do better a little bit," Dimon added, explaining: "I'm relentless: Details, facts, analysis, no bulllshitting, no meetings after meetings, share all the information-put it on the table, put the dead cats on the table-go through system by system by system, get out on the road, visit other companies, they all do things better than you."

A little bit about myself. In my previous life, I was staff platform engineering. I focused a lot of development engineering and everything that basically was the sociotechnical aspect of our technical work. I recently was working as a CTO and co-founder of a startup, and nowadays I'm just doing advisory roles and a little bit of consulting while trying to think about the next big thing. Yes, so happy to be talking with you, Shane.

"Winning matters most when it helps others win, too."

Many women begin the year with broad ambitions: Do more. Progress faster. Lead better. But without a clear career plan, it is easy to get caught in urgency, competing priorities, and other people's agendas.A strong start to the year is not about doing everything at once. It's about building a focused, realistic plan that aligns with your goals, values, and current season of life.This post outlines a step-by-step approach to planning your career for 2026 so that you can move with clarity rather than pressure.

Ronald Araujo's return to action during Barcelona's Spanish Super Cup victory over Real Madrid was about far more than football. Although the captain only featured briefly, his presence carried huge emotional weight. For the Uruguayan defender, this was an important step forward after a long and difficult period marked by mental stress, making the moment deeply symbolic.
