Happy Friday,   Some things in life you don’t get to choose.   Until you do.   As leaders, we didn’t get to choose the pandemic.   We do get to choose how we might use this time become better leaders & create a better culture & organization.   I’ve spoken to so many leaders that have

Good Monday morning,   Back in the 90s was my first experience with seeing a colleague get a hair transplant.

Good Monday morning,   It’s been quite the past couple of months. As I think about all the changes that we’ve gone through, there are still so many that are yet to come. We have immersed ourselves in technology even more to maintain connections with others which only amplifies the lesson that we are still

Happy Friday,   We’ve all had that frustration – you’re working on your laptop and your frustration is rising as it takes longer and longer for your windows and pages to load.   It’s a lot like you might feel right now about our larger situation, as it seems to be taking longer than expected
