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.

In fact, the brothers began their career in the printing trade and then opened a bicycle shop. In addition to selling and fixing bikes, the brothers developed their own self-oiling bicycle wheel hub. I love that they approached every venture with such creativity! At...
Take your kids to work this week!
Sure, the official Take Your Kids To Work day was in April, but I don't think this should be a once-a-year kind of thing. In fact, when Laini was younger, she came to the office every other month or so. Now, it's more like two to three times a year. But bringing her...
Where do you get all that energy?!
