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.

What’s Your State of Heart?
We often refer to our State of Mind (cue Billy Joel). But I’ve come to believe that our State of Heart must be in the right place, too. Sure, it’s important to be in the right state of mind when approaching a new challenge or tackling a particularly hairy...
What is Time Perception?
The other day, my daughter made an astute observation about what she referred to as "time perception". You know how time seems to slow when you’re doing something you don’t love, but the weekends just seem to fly by? When I probed on the phrase, she responded: “Well,...
