Vacation. It’s been a lost art for me until this week. We’re on our first vacation in two years and it’s clear to me I’ve lost some skills to do it with ease. As I awakened this morning, a wonderful realization hit my psyche. I don’t have to be anywhere any time soon. What a… View Article

Focus. Easier said than done right now. Talent, supply chain, people dealing with illness for themselves and their kids, people unable to show up for work for one reason or another. It’s a bummer or worse. Breathe. Simplify and trust your gut. We’ll get through this. How can we help each other?
