This is where I share what I’m noticing, questioning, and learning — in leadership, in work, and in life. Some posts come from personal experience. Others from conversations with coaching clients. All are written to spark reflection and offer something useful as you navigate your own path. Dip in. Take what resonates. And if something stirs a thought. I’d love to hear from you.

Lonely at top?
I never expected that the higher up I got, the lonelier it would feel.
The best laid plans…
And then, life threw me a curveball…
