I am lucky enough to have worked for over 8 years in a space that has helped me begin with positive intent with any approach that I attempt. It's not easy. I recently read a fascinating piece on your brain's negative bias. There happens to be a scientific reason we are so quick at picking … Continue reading Your Wired for Negative Bias
It's difficult as a leader or just someone who likes to mix in a lot within social circles to be ones self. Never the less, our actions do to tell a story to people who see us in action or hear us. My idea of what a good person is (picture above) and what another's … Continue reading Actions Reflecting Our Values
"This is your life. Do what you love and do it often." - Holstee The problem with future casting or setting a singular goal, is that it's loaded with specificities that might not ever happen.

I have an incredible opportunity to put myself in front of some of the best thinkers in my organization on a regular basis. It's a blessing, a lot of hard work, and worth every minute.

I ran into this story doing some research. It speaks to our opportunity to stop what we're doing in our hustle and be present. What can we discover if we did? Also, the reward we can receive when we do listen to our inner critic. A number of years ago, I was invited to this thing … Continue reading Just Look Down
Kicking it around and around. That idea. Bouncing it off the wall, people, and your boss. Hesitating and wondering is this the right time and right idea to bring forward. Your best creative work, at the point of going dormant. We all get those creative pulses that we just want to share. There are … Continue reading Making the Most Out of You
Just as our own social circles can provide us places to use empathy or build solidarity we need, our work circles can provide the same chances.
