The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.
As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

The Power of Tacit Learning
At a recent #pgalum event, "Meeting the Moment" in D.C., my former CEO AG Lafley talked about the power of tacit learning. Zoom is great, sometimes. AG led with how tacit learning can be difficult on zoom. That's because we need time to mull things over, chew on...
The DEAL loses the ability to LEAD.
I recently read this concept shared by Bob Burg: if you become overly inflated or think of yourself as a big deal, you lose the capacity to positively influence those around you. Instead of fixing on yourself as "the leader", Burg suggests that leaders reframe their...
