447: Take The Full Hour with Sarah Olivieri

Lunch Is Leadership with Sarah Olivieri Lunch is the first thing to go. The calendar fills up, something has to give, and the hour in the middle of the day is the one that looks optional. Skip it enough times and you start making your biggest decisions of the week on an empty tank.

In this solo episode, Sarah breaks down why lunch is a leadership decision, and exactly how to get it back on your calendar and keep it there.

In This Episode, You'll Learn Why your blood sugar spikes during intense work even when you have not eaten, and what that does to your thinking

What skipping the hour actually costs you in decision quality, which is the part of your job nobody else can do

Why sharing a meal with one person, a new team member, a donor, a potential program partner, does something no meeting does

What your team learns about work habits from watching whether or not you take the hour

The recurring calendar block Sarah walks every leader she coaches through, live
