Geese and golden eggs. High-quality service jobs and the advent of a new golden age? The handbook of social psychology
One “must” for this week: don’t kill the goose of the golden eggs
My friend PJ Milani shared on LinkedIn a reflection on how we keep adding new and greater expectations in spite of all we achieve.
This can lead to burnout, no matter how we love doing what we do, and I felt close to that trap many times.
It reminded me of how Ali Abdaal talked about “taking care of the goose of the golden eggs” and how to find the sweet spot.
Too much caring for the goose, and the goose won’t produce enough eggs to make a living.
Too much pressure on making eggs, and we’ll kill the goose for good.
The lesson for me is that we all struggle with the same things, and we don’t have to be that hard on ourselves.

I’m hosting a free virtual communication workshop!
Spending hours in virtual meetings can be exhausting 😩
You know the feeling—wondering if people are paying attention, struggling to sound confident through the screen, or just wishing you could connect better in those tiny Zoom boxes.
I’ve been there too.
Since 2020, I’ve spent over 5,000 hours in virtual meetings. Along the way, I’ve learned that being effective online is about so much more than just having a great microphone or camera (and you know how I LOVE a good tech setup 🤖).
That’s why I’ve spent countless hours researching, practicing, and learning how to communicate in virtual settings: how to engage, connect, and leave a lasting impression.
My guiding question has always been, “how do I want the people in this meeting to remember me?”
Now, I want to share what I’ve learned with you—and in the process, continue learning myself.
I’m hosting a free workshop to help you become a better communicator in virtual settings.
Whether you’re leading meetings, pitching ideas, or just trying to avoid “Zoom fatigue,” this 1:30h session is designed to give you practical tools you can use right away.
🎯 What’s in it for you?
Learn how to make a stronger, more memorable impression from the moment you join a call.
Discover how to use your voice, gestures, and presence to keep people engaged.
Avoid common pitfalls that can derail even the best-prepared sessions.
And yes, we’ll talk about the all-important technical setup, too!
It’s going to be interactive, fun, and useful—and I’d love for you to join! 🤩
In each session, the spots are limited for better interaction, so don’t wait!
