How do you think about leadership? Not the textbook or Google definition. What does it actually mean to you? How does your mindset help you? How does it hurt you? How do all of your answers to these questions inform your style of leadership? “It’s not the outer conditions of your life that determine your …
I have two teenagers. They could not be more different from each other if they tried. This is most obvious when it comes to how they process information and crystalize their thinking about it. My first-born is a talker. Now let me preface all of this by clarifying something really important— EVERYONE THINKS AND EVERYONE …

One of the ways this extended stay home order is affecting us is the separation of our physical community bond. The number of in-person interactions you had in your daily working life will vary according to an infinite number of variables, and this is *not* a science blog, so we’ll simplify it by saying this: …

The famous 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, said, “There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” A common interpretation of that quote is religious.
