April 23 Entrepreneurial Leadership: Change, Evolution & Growth
If it's one thing I've learned in my journey as an entrepreneur, it's that "certainty yields comfort, but uncertainty yields opportunity."

Ceilings of complexity and inflections points are more predictive than you might think. Join me on this episode as I discuss intentional change of stages in our lives and share some advice on what to look for.

February 26 Effective Executive: Dealing with Conflict, Problems & Setbacks
As leaders, we deal with conflict on a constant basis and all too often all we want is to "make it go away." Only rarely does the situation demand true urgency.
