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.

My friend, Kitti, recently wrote this amazing, reflective article about the art of listening. She referred to herself as a "recovering non-listener"... can anyone relate to that? Do you listen or do you reload? Here's an easy diagnostic: If someone is sharing...
In the midst of change management? Think like a coder.
