Dust Yourself Off and Try Again

There’s something magical about practice. It’s how you get to your first 10,000 hours of mastery—and how you keep going for the next 10,000, and the next. Practice is more than just repetition. It’s a mindset, a commitment to consistently showing up and saying, “Let’s try this again.”

Your Story, Told In Slides

Being an entrepreneur or a leader is a climb—there’s no other way to put it. It’s challenging, exhilarating, and full of moments that push you beyond your limits. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the tools that make this climb easier, and one keeps coming to mind: the ability to give a great presentation....

Finding your flow

When you think about ease at work, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s efficiency. Maybe it’s clarity. Or maybe, like many people, you hear the word “easy” and assume it’s the opposite of working hard or striving for excellence.

It’s amazing how some of the best friendships in my life have evolved into some of the most fulfilling professional collaborations.

But also acknowledging that finding your voice is more than just mastering speaking skills—it’s about discovering the confidence to share what you have to say in any setting, whether you’re on a stage, in a meetin...

Make Your Move

There’s power in knowing when it’s time to say “game over.” Sometimes, it’s not about waiting for an ending to come naturally or for a push from the outside. Instead, it’s about making a conscious choice to walk away from what’s comfortable and familiar. Choosing to leave a job, step out of a relationship, or take o...

It’s Like Culture Math

When it comes to workplace culture, there’s this elusive “X” factor everyone’s trying to solve for. You know what I mean—that wow factor, the secret sauce, the spark that makes people excited to show up. It’s the kind of engagement that transforms an ordinary job into something people actually love. Solving ...

It’s amazing how many professionals in my network have been bringing up The Tortoise and the Hare lately. I think it’s because we’re all running so hard and fast forward that we find ourselves craving success through slow, steady progress. There’s a growing realization that being the Hare- constantly sprinting- isn’t sustainable fo...

Expect the Unexpected

Sometimes life forces us to slow down in ways we don’t expect, offering us moments of stillness that help us reflect, recharge, and appreciate the present. But have you ever thought about how these pauses—whether forced or intentional—can be some of the most valuable moments we experience?

Has this ever happ...
