When High Performance Costs Too Much
Work was never meant to cost people their health. Yet for years, the highest performers have often been those most skilled at ignoring their own limits. Endurance was rewarded. Exhaustion was normalized. Burnout became a private problem rather than a systemic one. A Turning Point In many ways, 2025 marked a turning point for workplace mental […]
Reflection with Purpose: The Year-End Retrospective
Ah, here we are. That beautifully awkward time of year when we’re straddling the mad dash to wrap up projects and the slow drift into the holiday weeks. As we enter the final stretch, many of us face the same recurring question: How should I use this time? Will you take advantage of the quiet […]
5 ways to build transformations that really matter in 2026
Every year gives transformation leaders a clearer view of their systems, their culture and their capacity for change. But 2025 surfaced something more important: the limits of our old transformation playbooks. Strategies stalled not because leaders lacked vision, but because organizations have outgrown the traditional ways we manage change. Most transformation guidance still focuses on […]

(Nearly) One Month Down and the Struggle is Real
Congratulations, we’ve almost made it to the end of January! While I’m not someone who embraces resolutions with enthusiasm – despite “suggestions” from those around me – I do embrace the optimism that comes with new beginnings. The allure of positive change is palpable, but it’s all too easy to start the race strong and […]
Another (Exhausting) Year
When late December approaches, I harken back to the days when I was a kid and my pent-up energy for the holiday break.
