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.

That email should have been a meeting 😄
We've all seen the mug - and it's funny because we've all sat through meetings that should have been an email! But sometimes, we watch the inbox flood and think, "that email should have been a meeting." 😄 Let's start with the former: when can an email suffice? Is your...
