Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

What Are the Benefits of Not Raising Venture Capital? Ever wonder what happened to building a good, profitable business? What are the benefits to bootstrapping in this world of high-growth, venture-backed companies with bloated valuations. VC money has trumped building a good, profitable business.
Mad to the Bone Anger tells us something we value is being threatened and is evolution's way of telling us “Do something about this!” Being an adult with our anger means finding a way to a healthy expression of it. 
Taking Into Account Accountability is also an inside job. How are you, an employee, taking full responsibility for yourself as it relates to this work? Being accountable means being ready to show up for the work that’s in front of us and be a contributor to the fulfillment of the goal of the whole.
What Is the Best Way To Lead the Person in Front of You? Adaptive leadership asks you to be keen enough to be with who is in front of you, in any situation, and be able to connect relationally and with what matters. That requires a different skillset than a fixed leadership style. 
Strong Back, Open Heart: 6 In-depth Courses to Reboot Your Leadership (and Life) How we work is as important as what we are doing. And, at the end of the day, we need to get things done, to execute--to work. Tending to the tensions caused by our humanity makes work happen more efficiently.
Working Transitions Whether we decide to leave our job, make a career move, or find ourselves without a job, the space between secure jobs is a mix of things--unprocessed fresh feelings, needs, anxieties, and wondering about next steps. That "next steps" part can feel like an overwhelming mountain. Where to start? 
The Rising In our working lives and leadership roles, while there are biases and glass ceilings that women can’t seem to get free from, there are also ways in which we can get stuck in our rut in our roles without advancing in the ways that we might like.
Driving Forward vs. Fully Acknowledging What’s Here Having a clear vision is one thing. Leading a discussion and conversation about the vision and what that means for each function is another. How does one lead a dialog about important issues? How do we lean in to disagreements? How do we decide to move forward as a team? 
A Skill Set for Life Leadership isn’t constrained to leaders in organizations. Leadership is for people who are leading as life partners, leading as parents, leading in their communities, and in anything outside the confines of a job or career.
