Episode Details

Are you discontent even though everyone around you thinks you "have it all?"

Lloyd Reeb, founding partner of Halftime Institute, is on a mission to help you ensure your next season in life is defined by joy, impact, and balance.

Today, Lloyd will remind us of the importance of not just doing what is valuable, but doing what is priceless. Regardless of your age or what you can bring to the marketplace, Lloyd will encourage you to get clear, get free and get going.

SHOW NOTES:

• How can your second-half be even more impactful, fun and joyful than the first half was?
• At 14-years-old, Lloyd's father helped him purchased a few acres of land, charging interest which taught him values.
• "What do I need to do to pass down the values of generosity, honesty, and hard work before passing the monies down."
• A successful building developer inadvertently taught him the importance of significance beyond success.
• The exposure to what was happening around the world inspired Lloyd to serve or give back to others.
• Lloyd was introduced to Bob Buford, author of best-selling book Halftime. Because they naturally bracketed the movement of people wanting to renew themselves at mid-life, they created The Halftime Institute.
• "Sloppy busy": Your calendar is full but you have a nagging lack of focus and leverage that you had in your career.
• Resist the temptation to start working on the solution and take the time to think through your core strengths.
• Gallup's Strengths Finder 2.0 played an important role in their children being heard. Get a copy or each other's strengths like I did with my family.
• Halftime is a remedy, not a strategy: Think about who you are and then the work you've been given.
• Don't just jump in and get "sloppy busy." Take time to reflect on who you are and the best place you can give back. Ask yourself:
  • When was I at my best?
  • What was the most painful experience in my life and what did I learn from it? Very often our pain from the past calls out a path for our future.
  • Think about who you are and not the work.
• Valuable vs. priceless: On one side of the paper, write a list of all the valuable things your life. On the other side, write the priceless things. What are you doing to protect the valuable versus priceless things?
• The Halftime Institute: University for the second half of life, a place where people blessed with success, begin to explore how to make the second half even richer + fulfilling than the first half.
• Have a healthy mid-life renewal: Get clear, get free, get going.
• Intentionality: Lloyd strives to help other leaders be more intentional in not only how they give their time away but also building a world-class family.
