The Intersection
The way we work, grow, and succeed is changing. I’m here to explore what that means for you and your company. This blog is a collection of insights, strategies, and reflections designed to help individuals take ownership of their career and life and help companies create a space where team members thrive.
I pull from books, podcasts, research, and personal experiences to uncover practical ways to stabilize, grow, and thrive in today’s evolving world. If you’re looking to create a stronger, more sustainable foundation for your career or the company you are part of, this is the place.
Let’s build something great—together!
Stabilize
Each year, I pick a word that articulates my hopes and goals. My word for 2025 was “stabilize”. There are a lot of reasons why this made sense for January me. There were a lot of areas of life that this word can inspire. Stabilizing meant providing a foundation. A...
Write Your Manifesto
A manifesto is not a plan. It’s a declaration. A line drawn in the sand. A statement of who we are, what we stand for, and the world we intend to build. Most people focus planning on objectives, strategies, and tactics. A manifesto sets the vision. It starts at the...

This week, I want to highlight my blog post focused on using a Word of the Year as a Personal Operating System. I’ve chosen a word of the year since 2015. Each year, the choices I’ve made have shaped my mindset and focus for the year. I can look back and easily talk...
What Day Is It?
The holidays, vacation, and school breaks remove schedules. They bring relaxation and fun. They can also bring a loss of a sense of time. What day is it? What time is it? These are questions I find myself and others asking right now. I find it interesting. We all feel...
Relax
I’m writing and posting this on Christmas morning. Everyone is still sleeping, and my daily writing routine is in play. Today, I don’t have a topic selected. I don’t want to tackle something deep. So, I’ll provide an observation that can serve us all any time of the...
Word of the Year as a Personal Operating System
I’ve chosen a word of the year every year since 2015. What started as inspiration has evolved over time into something a bit different. Today, I treat my word like a personal operating system. An operating system runs quietly in the background. Shaping priorities,...
The Season of Clearing
This time of year, we focus on many things. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Parties to attend. Holidays to celebrate. Gifts to give. Season’s greetings to send. The Clearing Season Yet, there are days in the middle of the celebrations that are quiet. We...
Annual Energy
As we move into a new year, it’s a good time to reflect on our energy cycles. I’ve written about the types of energy we need throughout our day. And created audits to check in with how we are managing that energy. Yet, I have focused less on how our energy flows each...

Pay Attention
Since the time changed, it seems so dark in the house. The kitchen in particular has been a problem. I’m constantly turning on all the lights under the cabinets and above the sink. The main six bulbs above the island just weren’t cutting it. It bugged me, but I...
One Page Business Plan
Increasingly, people are starting side hustles. Some may be pursuing a hobby turned income generator. Others may be taking on freelance work as “career insurance”. Still others might be starting a franchise or small business. No matter what your path is, a business...
Priorities
Q4 is strategic planning season. Setting goals and plans for the year ahead. As I think about this, I realize how much this is really about priorities. We took a plan at the beginning of the year and worked to make it come to life. Yet, things happened. The world...
Breaking Good Habits
This time of year, is all about habits. Creating good ones. Breaking bad ones. One thing we don’t talk much about is breaking good habits. Some might look at that statement and think: Why break a good habit? My Perspective We cycle through habits we need when we need...
Creating a Personal Elevator Pitch
We’ve all been told we need an elevator pitch. A confident answer to the question, “So, what do you do?” Most advice turns this into a mini resume. But a personal elevator pitch isn’t about impressing someone. It’s about helping someone understand who you are, how you...

With all the layoffs happening, I wanted this week to focus on what those currently employed could do to provide a little peace of mind preparing for the unexpected. I find it ironic that we insure our cars, our homes, and even our “life”, yet we don’t take actions to...
