If I were to describe myself as a leader, it would be a servant leader. I think I have a tough time establishing myself as a leader because of it. Yet, it aligns so much with who I am. It’s so different than what prototypical leader is meant to be. So, what is a servant…

We are creatures of community. We need to be around other people. I don’t think that was more evident than these past couple of years where we were forced to socially distance from others.

Growing up I always wanted to be superhero. We’re human right? We’re not supposed to have any type of superpowers, so that dream kind of dies in childhood. What if I told you we did have a superpower. A power that not a lot of people actually use. It’s called intuition. I think the reason…

It feels more like a hamster wheel. It’s not even about getting things done anymore. It’s the recognition of making it happen and…

There are is no doubt that having relationships with others is essential to our wellbeing. We are naturally social beings. Yes, even when we want to lock ourselves in the room and not hear from anyone for a while. A reason why most people don’t know why we socialize is because it gives us a…

We come with an inherent bias that we want and maybe even expect other people to be just like us. This becomes a detriment because we then want to influence people to be more like us.
