I started publishing a daily blog post a little over two years ago. Before that, my posts came out sporadically. The posts were also a lot more work back then. I would spend hours toiling and trying to perfect the wording. So, what was I hoping to accomplish by switching to publishing a daily blog […]
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I've been wrestling with how to network without face-to-face events. For me, historically most of my business opportunities were the result of those events. At one point I even wondered if it was possible to be effective at networking virtually (I got over that limiting mindset quickly). While I have […]
What's on your mind about your leadership? You might have an idea, puzzle, or problem that you're sitting with. I love connecting with people in coffee shops. Given that's not possible right now, let's have a virtual coffee! It's a time where we'll get to know each other, support each other, and exchange ideas. We'll […]
What would it take for you to let go of all the sh*t that's holding you back? I ask because it's a big question for me these days. It's human nature to hold on tight to the things you're comfortable with. After all, the alternative is to have something that makes you uncomfortable. Who wants […]

The world of work has changed. People have come to see what’s important to them. Some have even made significant changes like moving out of the city. There is no going back to how it used to be. Given this, what do you think might happen if you’re rigid in defining the future of work […]
Have you noticed how everyone is adding buzzwords to their messages in an attempt to stand out. I know they're trying to carve out their niche and sell themselves. But seriously, the only thing they're accomplishing is to create fads, illusions, and hype. Take, for example, everyone is adding the word "Agile" to their 'thing'. […]
What would it take to give yourself full permission to show up with all your potential? When leaders give themselves full permission, they take teams places they didn’t think was possible. Sure, sometimes, you will have an unintended and unwanted impact. However, that’s why leaders take responsibility for their impact. I know there’s nothing you […]
There are many reasons to do team-building activities. The obvious one is when people come together to form a team. You also want to do team-building when: the membership changes, you return to the office after the pandemic (whatever that looks like), or any other change in context or understanding.
