Read MoreLife Lessons, Applied
Each of us is grappling with the rolling, roiling challenges of this unprecedented time – and mostly without the framework of rules issued by clear authority (‘what are we supposed to DO?’). As a result, each of us can be forgiven for momentary lapses in composure, perhaps lashing out at other consumers in a store…
Read MoreWill Leadership Change in the “Now Normal?”
The answer is – it shouldn’t, but it will. Inevitably, leadership will be defined in new ways given the shift in how employees, supervisors, peers—and teams as a whole—interact. But if there is anything that the last few months have taught us, it’s that leadership is something that needs to be elevated as we move…

Mental health is extremely important, but rarely discussed. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five individuals will experience some type of mental illness each year.

And though the COVID-19 pandemic is of a…
Read MoreAmerican Imagination, At Scale
There was a very sharply-worded column in the New York Times over the weekend about the pity with which our great country is increasingly being viewed around the world. I don’t take issue with much of what the author said but find myself wanting to pivot toward finding a path forward, rather than brooding on…
Read MoreLessons from a Century of Resilience
My father-in-law turned 99 last month. He marked the day with his first-ever video call, a Zoom celebration with 15 family members spread over three time zones. Within minutes, he’d adjusted to the unfamiliar technology and enthusiastically resumed his patriarch role, this time as the central image in our new Brady Bunch-style family motif. It’s…
Read MoreDigital Interview Do’s and Don’ts
So, in the age of COVID-19 and working from home, you have lined up a digital interview… now what? As we’ve adjusted to life in quarantine, we’ve seen almost all interactions go digital.
