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.

Why the good ones leave.

Why the good ones leave.

We've all heard it: people don't leave the company, they leave their bosses. Or sometimes, it's their peers. Regardless of who, the good ones leave because of the people around them. The good ones leave because they know their worth. So, if they're made to feel...
