Not in grand gestures, but in subtle shifts that change the culture around me.…

In this edition of Lead Anew: Insights and Growth, I share my experiences of returning to college after 26 years away from the traditional classroom setting. This time, the classroom is on a screen.

Slow Down Saturday
Some days are made for catching up.Others are made for catching your breath. Today, I’m choosing the second one. I’m setting down the to-do list, letting the laundry wait, and giving myself permission to pause. The world moves fast enough without me sprinting through my own life.

Mindful Midweek
This week’s reminder:Awareness isn’t about fixing everything.It’s about noticing—without judgment. What thoughts keep looping?What feelings keep surfacing?What truth have you been quietly avoiding?

Instead of asking “What’s wrong with me?”Try asking, “What’s trying to get my attention?” You don’t need all…

Leading In Flats, Not Heels
In this edition of Lead Anew: Insights and Growth, I delve into the true essence of leadership in the second season. Contrary to popular belief, leadership doesn’t always involve a blazer and heels. Instead, it’s about showing up, embracing imperfection, and leading with presence, not just polish.

Mindful Midweek
June 18, 2025 Midweek check-in: How’s your internal weather? Mine’s partly cloudy with a 60% chance of spiraling, unless I slow down long enough to name what’s true. Lately, I’ve been noticing the difference between reacting and responding. Reacting is fast. It’s the email you regret, the assumption you make, the “sure, I’ll take that…
