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 is skin hunger?
We have been playing with, feeding, and loving on this little boy for a few months. But in the first month, we didn't hold him a whole lot. You see, with his oversized (and very heavy) head, he’s not very easy to hold. Furthermore, having spent most of his first...
We might impress with our strengths, but we connect with people through our weaknesses.
Throughout our careers, we invest to identify our strengths via assessments like Myers-Briggs or StrengthsFinder. And it’s certainly helpful to know what we’re good at, to define the context in which we thrive. Yet, while we might impress with our strengths, it’s...
Will inspired me to write the book.
Will inspired me to write the book, The Spare Room. While providing this enormous affirmation, he also changed the way I saw myself as a leader. We recently reminisced about that life-changing conversation on Will’s podcast, Elevation Barn. The life-changing...
