The first time I remember someone telling me to “RELAX!” was when I was 16. I broke my wrist playing quarterback in a sandlot football game. I completed the pass for the touchdown, but when I got up from being tackled, I noticed my wrist was unusually bent. We met the orthopedic surgeon at his office, where he told me that he could set my wrist there rather than at the hospital if I cooperated. He shot my wrist full...

We took a trip to Fallingwater this past weekend with our grandson, who was visiting. Fallingwater is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most iconic pieces of architecture. Built in 1935 for and with the Edgar Kaufman family of Pittsburgh, it is constructed over a waterfall with the sounds and visuals of Bear Run right below your feet. I remember watching a PBS special about the preservation and reconstruction of the famous cantilevers of the house. The cantilevers are rigid horizontal...

The woman was clearly in shock. Her home was destroyed by wildfire, and she and her family barely made it out to safety. “I’ve never seen this in the 25 years we’ve been here,” she told the journalist. A colleague who lives in the Northeast posted a video of his one-hundred-foot driveway underwater, proud that he could at least get out with his SUV. “We’ve been here 35 years, and this has never happened,” he told his community of friends....

A new generation of leaders has taken on responsibilities from family businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Many leaders I’ve advised over the past fifeen years have moved, retired, or stepped aside to allow the next generation of leaders to take over. The New York...

Career development is a continuous journey, and as I stepped into 2023, I found myself, like many others, contemplating the changes that lie ahead for me. Thirteen years ago, I stepped away from my decade plus time in corporate healthcare leadership and decided to venture out into solopreneurship and I never looked back.
