Le Tour
Le Tour de France has begun again! Today is Day 5 and I have already watched a lot of cycling. Doug watches it in earnest, but for me, it's happening in the background—I pay attention and then I don't. I love watching the finish every day, as it's essentially the most...

"Patience is not simply the ability to wait—it's how we behave while we are waiting." ~Joyce Meyer This has been quite a week for Doug and I. I shared the good news of two weddings back to back, having so much fun with friends and family at both events. What I haven't...

Speaking Up Is Scary
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of presenting to a BRG within the tech space. Their employees are all virtual across the globe and we were discussing how to create a powerful presence given those parameters. One of the things I discussed was speaking up in meetings,...
If You Want To Feel Safe…
I went to see my coach the other day and, after explaining what was bothering me, he delivered this profound thought: "If you want to feel safe, inhabit who you are." You might be thinking, 'What does that even mean?" A little more context might help. One of the...
