  • "I See You"

    That aren't many better feelings than when we feel seen by someone. My son, Bryce, had one of those cool moments and it had me buzzing.
    We can all get tunnel vision and feel like we're on our paths completely isolated. We have to own our journey, but we can all use encouragement along the way.

  • Sponsorship: Are You Opening Door for Others?

    It can be easy to adopt a scarcity mindset and think that there's only a limited amount of success to go around. That couldn't be further from the truth! Open doors and be a sponsor for others. Say their names in a room full of opportunities.

  • Dismissive Behavior Can't Be Your Default

    Sometimes the same things that may have protected us in the past are now preventing us to evolve and mature. Today I'm buzzing about my issues with detaching too quickly from an unfavorable situation. Although it used to protect me from trauma, these day it's mostly an impediment to growth.

  • Don't Dim Your Light With Self Doubt

    Why do we talk ourselves out of things and then become critical of others who are attempting to do similar things? If you can get over the self-doubt hurdle, the next hurdle is handling other people's insecurities.

  • Company Culture Starts With Leaders - Sandy Harvey

    Sandy Harvey is the President and Chief Strategist of Exodus Consulting Group. We talk about the lack of resources and infrastructure that many DEI roles are facing. Organizations can't treat this role like a magic wand, but must hold leaders accountable. Sandy gives us all a piece of wonderful advice: Hire people from diverse backgrounds and give them the platform to share their experiences with others. These testimonies can be a wonderful way to start true diversity work in an org.
