In my last post, I shared a story of the consequences that can occur when we aren’t clear on expectations within our work relationships.  Having clarity within any relationship is vital, and it’s something that we all too often leave to chance.  I also encouraged you to use the golden rule of management as a…

Recently, I collaborated with a friend on a project. It wasn’t a big project, and we weren’t doing it for money. It was more of an exploratory effort that we were both interested in doing, so we decided to do it together. The two of us have been friends for years but had never done…

Last year, I published a post on my birthday where I shared a birthday wish (actually a couple) for 2020. This year, I make it a tradition.  There’s something magical about wishes.  Wishing gives you the freedom to ask for anything, no matter how improbable. There are no rules when it comes to wishes.  But…

Well, we made it. We’ve turned the page from 2020. After last year, surviving the year feels like a milestone to celebrate. We certainly toasted the end of the year at our house. Now a new year begins with at least the promise that the end of this pandemic-fueled era of disruption is on the…

While this has felt like the longest year in recorded history, the end of the year sort of snuck up on me. Thankfully, it’s because I’ve been busy with work. But that means I’m behind on my end-of-year planning efforts.  One of the things I try to do each year is reflect upon and process…
