Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

What’s Your Origin Story? Your origin story matters. It deserves to be understood, honored, and perhaps even loved. But the point of knowing where you came from isn’t to remain bound to what happened there. It’s to become more free to choose who you’ll be next.
An Investment in You Is an Investment in All How do you want to invest in your own leadership in the year to come? Why are we so hesitant to advocate for investment in ourselves at work?
Finding the Ways That Work Supervision is a protected conversation in which a coach brings the experience of working with a client to another trained practitioner. The client’s predicament is part of the inquiry. But, importantly, so are the coach’s reactions. The supervisor helps the coach ask: What’s happening here? What part of this is mine?
Decisions, Decisions: A Model for Making Quality Decisions & Managing Perception Decisions are relational challenges as well as logical ones. They impact our trust in direction and in each other. They establish accountability to one another. And thus, becoming adept at making decisions as a team is an investment in lowering the cost of communication between individuals and groups.
What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Money? What are we talking about when we talk about money? We are talking about safety and freedom. We are talking about worth and belonging.
Why Team Coaches Need to Study Themselves, Not Just Their Teams Supervision gives coaches a place to ask not only what’s happening with this team, but also what’s happening in me in the presence of this team?
The Conditions for Redemption Every performance system, every culture, and every leader eventually answers the same enduring question: Will people leave this place having merely done good work—or having become more fully themselves because of the work they did here?
A Candle at the Threshold of Belonging What do we leave behind when we narrow the circle, when we teach our children that the stranger is the enemy, when we allow the frightened parts of ourselves to set the terms of public life? And what might we leave behind if, instead, we build homes, companies, communities, and nations large enough to hold the future?
When Belonging Turns on Itself Fear is human. The question is not whether we will be afraid. The question is what we will allow fear to teach us. What do we teach our children and grandchildren about managing their fear?
“I am enough; just as I am, I am enough.” In a world increasingly organized around exclusion, certainty, and public cruelty, we need people willing to build larger tables. Invite people in. Risk being misunderstood. Stop waiting for universal approval before becoming fully yourself.
