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!
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...

Morning Energy
It’s been over 2 years since my post about the types of energy. I developed this framework to help us understand the best time of day for activities. The “when” will be different for each of us. That post highlights 7 categories: Charge – Time to rest, reflect, and...
The Power of Meaning and Mattering
I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the importance of meaning and mattering. How the two have an impact on our overall wellbeing. We want our lives to have meaning. We need to feel what we do matters. They sound similar. But they’re not the same. What Is Meaning?...
A Mid-Year Personal Energy Audit
We’re halfway through the year. Before we start power through the rest of it, this is a great time to pause. Stop checking off more tasks and instead check in with our energy. We often measure time but rarely measure how we feel during that time. Yet, energy is the...
The Four Quadrants of Creative Work
When we think about how we create and make progress on our ideas, it’s easy to assume we need a system. A structure. Or a method. But creativity doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes it needs to be fluid. Sometimes it needs to be organized. That got me thinking...
Project Energy
I have posted about many topics on time management. Yet, I often shift to the idea of energy management. Considering our days, weeks, work, and leisure times based on the type of energy we have. Most of the energy posts have helped consider what time of day we are at...

What Does a MeEO Do On Sunday?
Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest. But for many of us, it’s a day of dread. The to-do list feels like it’s growing, not shrinking. The Sunday Scaries show up. The day becomes a catch-all for everything we didn’t finish last week. What if, instead of defaulting...
When Creativity Runs Out of Air
We talk a lot about burnout and not enough about creative suffocation. The kind that doesn’t show up as exhaustion, but rather emptiness. Blank screens. No spark. A fog we can’t quite name. Research suggests that “our hurried, over-scheduled lives” is the cause....
Applying the 5D Model to MeEO
Digital product development has a process called “The 5Ds”. Discover, Design, Develop, Deploy, and Debrief. Below is an overview of each: Discover – This is the exploration phase where we get our arms around the situation. Design – Here we create a vision, test ideas,...
Becoming You: Book Review
I first heard about Becoming You through podcasts and was intrigued by Suzy Welch’s focus on helping people discover their “Area of Transcendence.” The book is based on her class at NYU Stern School of Business and explores how values, aptitudes, and economically...
Finding Our Summer Groove
When we think about the year, we each break it down in our own way. Some think in quarters. Some in seasons. Some follow school calendars. For me, the year has five distinct segments: Segment 1 (January – March): New Year Energy Segment 2 (April – Memorial Day):...
