As I sit in discomfort from fasting this morning, I curse myself for having to wait for an 11:30 a.m. physical with my doctor instead of a sane time like 8:30 a.m. What was I thinking? I’m starving. And black coffee can only go so far. I can’t really work as I still fight recent […]

We can get too comfortable in life. And just when we’re feeling on top of our game, we fall off our chair while playing. At dinner with friends, I met someone who runs a successful company in London. When I asked him whether he finds his work fulfilling, he said not always. The highs are […]

We don’t get to choose the times we live in. In fact, we don’t even get to choose where we’re born. Sometimes we are just lucky. For those who believe that a deity played a role in their luck, here’s my question. With your time on earth, what are you going to do with it? […]

Are you one of the smart ones? I always love reading studies that show that 98% of all children attending first year of elementary school are genius in areas such as creativity and divergent thinking, but by high school it’s less than 30%. Why is that? What are we fostering and sabotaging in our rigid […]

I am watching some friends experience some pretty big break ups. And I’m finding it surprising that it’s mostly the women who are leaving, on their own terms. I suppose it’s from watching society slowly cave in on women at a time when we feel we’re better than that, better than society’s definition of our […]

Sometimes we need an excuse to open a new door in our lives. We don’t always know why we need to find the way out, so we may paint a picture that looks good or write a story in our heads that sounds good and we eventually share it in order to find and open […]

What’s wrong with an everyday routine? Routine doesn’t allow us to think outside of the safe and linear path we’ve created for ourselves. That structure feels safe because it’s certain. When we go outside of it, we are stretched thin, maybe too thin, as we tackle the unpredictable. And what’s wrong with doing things the […]

Sometimes I can’t shut down my desire to understand what drives people. It’s been in my wiring since working in marketing and branding and now leadership development and culture change. Whatever I do is always tied directly to understanding why we behave the way we do, and how we can be more open to motiving […]

Whenever I meet someone, I like to learn as much about them as they are willing to share. Why do they do what they do? What do they love most about it? Where does their drive fall short? I don’t ask easy questions. And I find that most people (whom I’ve met) working at the level of […]

We’re spending time in London with friends, and conversations with this global crew never disappoint. Economic and social perspectives from abroad always add clarity for me, relating to what makes people tick and, of course, what others think about our theatre in the states. One thing is for sure…American’s like to think that everyone wants to live […]
