Yesterday, I had one of those moments. Everything was set. I was ready to begin a training session. And then… My PowerPoint wouldn’t work. Not a quick fix. Not something I could smooth over. Just… not working. I’ll be honest. For a moment, I felt it. That…
This week, I wasn’t going to write. If you have been following the last few emails, you will know that this move has kicked my butt. Between unpacked boxes, a half-assembled office, and allergies staging their own protest, my energy has been… allocated. And then I read an email with Gallup’s engagement data.…
This week, I crossed two thresholds. I opened my computer in a new home for the first time in a long time. And I quietly marked 36 years since I started my business. What surprised me most wasn’t nostalgia. It was clarity. I’m still here because the work isn’t finished. Organizations…

Have you ever ignored your body’s whispers until it started to shout, or in some cases scream? Most of us have. Especially those of us who lead — the ones others count on to keep going, keep smiling, keep showing up no matter what. I know this pattern well. I recently spent…
