Recently at one of my son’s baseball games, I realized how much I truly love his coach’s leadership style.

The rest of the audience attended virtually, watching and participating via teleconference technology. In all honesty, it … Read more
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a virtual diversity, equity, and inclusion course. It was fantastic to be in community with other thought leaders and colleagues within the DEI space, and take our collective learning to the next level. Even as someone with years of experience in the field, I can always stand to … Read more
I’ve worn glasses since I was eleven years old. I attribute my nearsightedness to watching way too much television when I was younger, and my vision has only gotten worse as the years have passed.
