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!
Focused LinkedIn Engagement
As we begin to work on our personal brand, increasing engagement on LinkedIn is often a strategy. We start to like, comment, and share the posts of others. This is typically organic. We react to what we see in our personal feed. Over time, we understand what resonates...

What is Your “House Special”?
I was reading an article in the New York Times that was talking about go-to recipes. The author suggested we should have go-to recipes for entertaining. Dishes that had a signature style, but you could vary based on the switch of ingredients. For her, it was a salad...
Special Sauce
Each of us has our own “special sauce”. The mix of qualities and personality traits that make our approach unique. Ten people could have the same job, but they would each make it come to life differently. One might focus on the relationships, another on the process,...
Fingerprints Marketing
Sometimes ideas happen before their time. In fact, this feels like the story of my career. I always seem to be thinking and seeing things that are just a bit too soon. Fuel efficiency before “sustainability” was on the radar of most companies. Relationship marketing...

Game on Summer
Summer always feels like it’ll stretch on forever. But it doesn’t. If we’re not careful, we blink and it’s back-to-school, back-to-routine. This year, let’s not miss the chance to make it count. Let’s turn summer into a game worth playing. Think streaks, quests, and...

Piles and Files – How We Organize
I am always fascinated by organization. How we each approach “order”. The interesting thing is that we all have a different definition of order vs. clutter. I’ve written about this in past posts, including these two: Clutter & Organization are Different and...
Fitting In
In a meeting the other day, someone made this comment: “I’m trying to fit into a Haiku” – Guy My first reaction was a laugh. He clearly made the point. He is working to put his content into someone else’s framework. A structure he didn’t design. And I could...
