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!
The Journey of a Book
Books are an interesting thing. Some people love them. Others don’t. Some read physical books. Others use an eReader. And others “read” audiobooks. Some love long books. Others want a quick read. Some love fiction. Others gravitate to non-fiction. Within each, there...
Paths to Revenue
I’ve been thinking about revenue a lot lately. For clients. For projects. For myself. My conclusion is that there are a lot of ways to approach revenue. The key is finding the right solution for yourself and your business. That said, many who I speak with don’t know...
More Planning, Less Stress
I’ve noticed lately how many of us are stressed by last minute work. When something is on the calendar for a month or even a week out, we think we “have time”. We have time…. until we don’t. Then, the panic and stress set in. We work frantically to meet the deadline....
Survivor Syndrome After Layoffs
When layoffs occur, so does workplace survivor syndrome. This is the set of negative emotions that employees experience after a company downsize. The emotions can include anger, guilt, fear, and anxiety just to name a few. Feelings can be pointed at the company. Lack...
Reflection + AI = Personal Learning Plan
Ever feel the urge to learn something new but don’t know where to start? Often, we have skills in mind like storytelling, design thinking, or data visualization. But the path forward feels foggy. Books pile up, courses are purchased and not completed, videos multiply,...

A Year With My “Birb”
A year ago, my daughter (mid-20s) suggested I download an app called Finch. She had been using it for a couple of months to build habits. Specifically, she was looking for motivation around what I’ll call the chores of daily living. The mundane tasks we all must do,...
Getting Cozy
I saw an article in Mediapost that talked about the trend toward “cozy”. We all know that at this time of year, especially in the northern US, the weather is getting cooler. As it does, we lean toward “cozy”. Warmer clothes. Darker days. And snuggling in for the cold...
Thoughts and Thinking
A quick search of “how many thoughts do we have per day?” provides a wide range. Some reports say the number is 6,000 while others say 60,000. So, somewhere in that 10x swing is likely the level. Either way, we consistently have a lot of thoughts going through our...
What Managers Need
In the past, we’ve discussed how managers feel unique pressure in the middle of the organization and they aren’t getting the support they need. Gallup even wrote a book on the topic called It’s the Manager. They highlighted the role managers play in the engagement of...

We all know that our sleep is core to our health. This is the time the body and brain recover, process memories, and prepare us for the next day. There are many articles on the importance of sleep. And the struggles we have falling asleep. Many are even tracking sleep...
Elastic Habits Tie to Hope
I recently learned of the book Elastic Habits by Stephen Guise. The premise of the book is that we should have a limited number of flexible habits. Each day, we have options surrounding three habits we want to keep. This allows us to adapt on a day-to-day basis to be...
The 3.9-Year Job
The numbers speak for themselves. The median job tenure in the U.S. has dropped to 3.9 years. The lowest since 2002. This isn't a trend that will swing back. It's a spiral. And it's gaining momentum. How We Got Here The 2008 financial crisis broke the old employment...
