Are You Spending Time With People Who Make You Laugh Till You Cry?
It's easy for life to take over. It's easy for other commitments to take priority over your very closest friends.
With two year old twins and a four year old I realized that I needed my friends more than ever but I wanted an easy way to stay connected. So I started Lady-Dinner, first Monday of the month, who ever from my closest friends shows up does, we pick the restaurant for the next month and there are no games of scheduling ping pong.
That was five years ago, and though some of us have moved around the world and back, or across states, we still have regular nights out where we laugh until we cry. Last night was another of those nights.
Who are your closest friends and how often do you get to see them?
How can you automate your social life with those that you love?
It is a critical component of being Thoughtfully Ruthless(R). Download your free executive assessment here to see how you can magically invent more time and boost your energy
If you are a speaker, consultant, or author, email me for a special version just for you.
To your endless laughter.

Thoughtfully Ruthless Named Best Business Book of the Year
What do you do when you win an award? Quietly accept it and not want to attract attention, or appropriately tell others of your acheivements?
Some of the brightest and most incredible executives are the world's best kept secret. This is to the detriment of their business and their career.
I help executives not just be brilliant, but be brilliant at demonstrating their brilliance. As it is always essential that you practice what you teach...I'll now turn the spotlight towards me for a moment, here goes:
My first book Thoughtfully Ruthless: The Key to Exponential Growth, Wiley 2016, has won the best business book award from Independent Press Awards.
It was a year ago that Thoughtfully Ruthless launched as part of Brit Week LA and since then here are some of the results executives have reported once they have become more Thoughtfully Ruthless:
- 37% increase in share price -- CEO, Wanted Analytics
- Nine hours a week saved every week with whole leadership team -- SVP, Starbucks
- Personally freed up 20 hours a week, every week -- CIO, Financial Industry
Since launching, it has become my second most requested keynote topic, with The Innovation Trifecta: How to Build a Symbiotic Relationship Between Creative, Technical, and Business Minds being the most popular, which is also the title of my next book.
Here is what people are saying about Thoughtfully Ruthless:
"I could not put this book down. Val teaches us how to be ruthless with ourselves and thoughtful in the way we that deal with others. The chapter about the power of no is the clincher. Val's tips on how to politely decline invitations, unwanted work opportunities or useless meetings, are invaluable. I would recommend this book to anyone with a busy life - from the boardroom to the classroom.
Peter Bowes, BBC
"You never hear people talk about energy in a book on innovation, Having published hundreds and hundreds of best sellers, I’m really excited by Val’s book."
John Kilcullen, Senior Vice President MGM, Creator of For Dummies Series
“Val Wright has worked in some of the toughest corporate cultures in business; she’s seen it all. Thoughtfully Ruthless acts as a personal playbook to navigate your career in the most competitive of environments by focusing on your strengths and identifying growth opportunities for your company. Essential reading for executives at every level.”
Peter Moore, CEO Liverpool FC
My favorite part about writing this book is people telling me how many hours they have created for themselves and their teams every week, how much their own energy levels have increased, and how they are now making the most of the resources around them.
