New Skin
I am learning in 2022 a very powerful lesson. It's a lesson you don't really hear much about out in the world. A lot is written about change - how to create it, manage it, navigate it. The risk, nature, and power of change have been as much discussed as the need for change…but what… Continue reading New Skin
What does ‘Toxic Workplace’ even mean?
Our entire world is rethinking how we do things under the spotlight the COVID-19 pandemic has shone on our systems.

Who am I now?
The New Year found me with my feet sunk to my ankles in the sand and salty surf, my glass and my face raised to the sky, and tears in my eyes. What a ride! 2021 was a year of extreme change. I do not exaggerate when I say that every single thing about my… Continue reading Who am I now?
Routine v Ritual – A Confession
This year has taken me back to churches more than I would have volunteered to go. As I sat in the funeral of the father of a dear friend under the plaques on the wall of the old colonial church memorializing men lost at sea, men who died at war, and women who played the… Continue reading Routine v Ritual – A Confession
Throw Out The Baby With The Bath Water
Two months ago I had coffee and a really fun conversation with a pair of entrepreneurs about what they were up to.
