Coldplay

It is no secret that I am a fan of good music. I am open to different genres, but if you give me a song with meaningful lyrics, a memorable melody, and harmonies that move my soul, I will likely be a fan.

I recently had the privilege of giving a keynote to a group of leaders. As I stood before them, I knew one thing for certain: I was in the forest.

Home

When I was a kid, my family moved several times. We first moved five hours away during the semester break when I was in Kindergarten. Our second move was two hours away the summer before my freshman year of high school.

What Else Could It Be?

I have a workshop that I enjoy doing with teams and organizations. At the heart of this particular session is the question, “What else could it be?” I share the idea that, as humans, we tend to make up a story when information is missing. My experience has been that we often fill our information gaps with negative things.
