Courage. It’s one of those words that occasionally solicit my middle finger. I get tired and want to just do nothing or sit with netflix binge watching of White Collar or other mind-candy shows so I can forget my stress. But what I need is courage to get through all of the loss of 2017. […]

Superhuman Log Date February 5, 2018 #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #riseabove #sinkhole #stuckinthemud
It was good to catch up with an old friend and work colleague while in London. We had a brief conversation where we reminisced about our account in Paris, and all of the PM work we used to do, and then shifted to our roles today. He confessed that he doesn’t get into the details […]

I’ve been told at the end of every departure or break up “you’ll be fine”. My gut response is: “Well thanks a bleeping lot. That’s just what I need after a dose of rejection – that I’m bleeping strong and will be bleeping fine. Well bleep you”. And then I sigh and think, well now […]

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 […]

Doubt constantly slips in between the cracks as I navigate my career choices. It doesn’t help that I don’t have clarity from cohorts and it’s super easy to just put your head down and coast to avoid conflict. But that’s not really going to help me get through this… whatever it is. So your mission […]

As I try to make sense of my world and find order, I see chaos. But it’s not the chaos in my life that overwhelms me. What overwhelms me is how people function within that chaos. What drives them. How fear turns beautiful chaos into a dark abyss. What makes me sad as I try to […]

I wonder sometimes if a decision to quit a job or walk away from a career is due to the lack of perceived success in that role? Do people need to advocate for themselves better? Are there people who just can’t say what they want or at least are too afraid to admit what they […]

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 […]

There is nothing like ongoing communication to keep any relationship on a healthy course. A friend was telling me about how his business partner suddenly called him one day about a decade ago and said he got a full time job and starts in a few weeks. There was no communication about ever leaving […]

In 2017 we’ve had our share of funerals, so it’s joyful to begin 2018 with a wedding. There seems to be a universal truth about weddings and funerals bringing out both the best and worst in people. Could it be because each symbolically represents an ending of the status quo and a beginning of something new? […]
