Take Some Time Off
After almost three years of writing and creating, and after doing quite a few interviews, podcasts, and keynote addresses, it’s time to take a break and recharge my batteries. I encourage you to take a break too. We all need one right now! And if you’re bored while...
Leadership Programs That Are Destined to Trainwreck
I love Millennials. I’ll admit it. Even though I’m a GenX’er at heart, I admire the chutzpah that Millennials have to call out the establishment (which GenX does too) but I really admire the belief that they have that by calling it out, change will happen (about...
The Passion Accomplished Podcast
I had the pleasure of joining Alberto Sardinas for his Passion Accomplished podcast several months back, and as I reflect on it, I enjoyed it because, well, there’s so much understanding about cultures, cultural conditioning, and the pressures of the US culture...
Practicing Inclusive Leadership, Not Just Talking About It

How To Stop The Tilt-A-Whirl We Are In Right Now
When I was a kid, I loved to go to amusement parks and ride the rides, especially the Tilt-A-Whirl. I loved the sensation of going up and down and around and around in random and unexpected ways. I would get very dizzy and laugh hysterically at the sensation, even...
A Call For Less Doing and More Being
