In a world that glorifies hustle, pausing can feel like failure. But what if slowing down is the key to unlocking your creativity, clarity, and joy? Pausing isn’t about giving up; it’s about creating space for what truly matters. Learn how the simple act of stepping back can help you move forward with purpose and intention.
As we navigate an era defined by rapid change, uncertainty, and global challenges, the need to cultivate resilience has never been more relevant. Economic fluctuations, technological advances, social shifts, and global crises can make daily life feel overwhelming. Amidst these turbulent times, many people find themselves asking: “How can I stay grounded and move forward?” “How can I overcome these obstacles and thrive?” These questions point to the need for a particular type of resilience, one that not only helps us recover from adversity but also enables us to adapt, innovate, and grow.
In today’s rapidly evolving work environment, core values like collaboration, integrity, and creativity are more crucial than ever. As more professionals navigate the shift toward remote work, they’re rethinking what truly matters in their careers. At Tracking Wonder, we’ve spent over a decade cultivating a community that values openness, purposeful innovation, and collaboration over ego.

Creative intelligence, as I define it, is the capacity to generate both novel and useful insights and then discern and act upon the best of them. Creative intelligence is something each human being possesses on a spectrum – and creative intelligence is activated collectively with others.
Let me offer some perspective on how powerful – and not passive – our activated imagination and creative intelligence can be to bring about the change we desire.
Living in a constant state of fight-or-flight can be exhausting. It wears down our bodies, affects our well-being, and makes it hard to focus and think creatively. It can also make us feel isolated.
I’ve been curious about how we can break this cycle of automatic reactions without ignoring the tough issues.
Can enjoying simple things, like looking at the sky, really change how we react in conflicts?
If you’re skeptical, let’s look at the science for a moment.
Books aren’t just objects. Books are agents of wonder as they expand my perspective on what is real, what is true, and what is possible.
Many clients, customers, audience members, and readers often ask me about the books that shape my world, so I offer here a glimpse into my reading journey —touching upon themes ranging from business strategies to personal well-being.
Many clients – leaders, startup founders, business owners, authors – express what I would call a Wise Rise. Maybe you can relate. You’re deeply committed to meeting the challenges necessary to grow people’s awareness of your unique point of view, services, or products so you can elevate them (rise) but with a more mindful expenditure of time, energy, resources, and pacing (wise).
“I don’t think I’m cut out to be a leader,” a client said to me last year. “Maybe I just need a different business model that doesn’t require me to lead people.” Like so many CEOs, entrepreneurs, founders, directors, and…
How we imagine ourselves to be. What does that mean for us as leaders, thoughtful business owners, and change-makers of all stripes?
