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 Teachable Idea?
One of my most inspiring bosses, Austin Lally, once asked me this question. He believed that everyone has a unique contribution, a teachable idea that's worth sharing. Over time, I've honed a few teachable ideas. In the process, I've found they require courage of...
Life in Quarantine, Part II
Is it weird that I've enjoyed life in quarantine? Hanging with my girl 24/7, juggling calls and reading books in our downtime. Watching movies, working out together and basking in togetherness. This may actually be my personal nirvana. Alas, it is now time to move on....
