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!
December Energy
After many years of going to Florida in December, we have moved our annual trip until a bit after the holidays. This means we have an extra week at home in the month of December. Most years, the holiday activities have all been rushed before or after the vacation....

Wrapping the Year at Work
It’s wrapping season. We are wrapping gifts. The vibe is more relaxed. And we are preparing for the year ahead. This got me thinking that the gifts aren’t the only thing being wrapped. We are wrapping up the year. Tying up loose ends for a fresh start in the new year....

Weekly Summary – 12.5.25
This week, I’ve seen so many posts about job loss resulting from the Omnicom acquisition of IPG. It’s not as if we haven’t seen layoffs across all kinds of companies and industries. However, I feel another gut punch each time I see the people who have been...
Small Pleasures
This weekend we are hosting an event. The event isn’t exactly ours. It’s one my daughter and son-in-law are having for their friends. Our house just worked out better for the size of the group. They came by last night to set up the tables and get the prep started....

Be A Product
In a newsletter I received, there was a reminder of a video I've seen from Naval Ravikant. The video suggests you "productize yourself." Essentially, suggesting personal branding. However, the words make us think differently. If we were a product, how would we sell...
A Unique Way to Assess Your Year

Transitions
I’ve thought a lot about transitions in the last few years. The moments in between one version of ourselves and the next. These transitions are filled with all kinds of emotions. Feelings about what is no more. Feelings about what is possible. And many emotions in...
Giving Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving! A short post to give gratitude. I want to thank you so much for following this blog. I use the space to clarify my thinking on topics. Some of the posts I wonder if I have enough clarity to post. Your continued support via notes and conversations...
Time Change
Does the bi-annual time change affect you? Moving back and forth between standard and daylight savings? Does one affect you more than the other one? Spring forward and lose an hour. Fall back and gain one back. My Story Historically, I’ve always preferred the fall...
