January 23, 2024 13: Why I’m NOT Interested In Scaling My Business
I am not interested in scaling my business...
And it’s probably not the reason that you just assumed.
❓ “Are you wanting to spend more time with your children?” — honey… have you met my children?!? Ha! Just kidding. I love them but no, that’s not it.
❓“Work less! Live more! Stop the hustle!” — Work & hustle are NOT my enemies (they aren’t yours either). Human + Hustle happens to be one of my favorite intersections. Sorry, wrong again.
Then WHY?
Because this strategy & this model of Culture execution works, BUT ONLY WORKS, when you go all in. And I want to be ALL IN!

January 16, 2024 11: When We Know Better, We Do Better - right? Nope!

January 11, 2024 10: Aren’t we all a little Barbie adjacent?
I think more of us feel the pull of dualities than we openly admit. That’s why America Ferrera’s Barbie monologue lives rent-free in our heads. She is us. We are her. All of us. How does this relate to my work and organizational culture? Well… listen to find out!

January 08, 2024 9: If HOPE is not a strategy, PROXIMITY is not a plan - I said what I said!
On today’s episode of The Nitty-Britty, we talk about one of my favorite sayings, “If HOPE is not a strategy, PROXIMITY is not a plan.” — for example: you’ve been asked to come back into the office to enhance engagement, productivity, collaboration… so what’s the plan to make that actually happen? Or will we still be doing the same old thing?
