The Question: What do you want to be able to say about yourself when we get through this crisis? Twelve minds and hearts came together on Zoom yesterday as leaders and as human beings.  These are our words: “I rethought how I live and what I believe.” “I came out of this a better business […]

If you’re like me, you’re motivated to make a difference, not by obligation to a task list. So how do we make a difference when we’re physically isolated from one another? When we’re isolated in our homes during these strange, challenging times? We become resourceful, creative, and make a difference from home. In light of […]

With our collective routines and systems in upheaval, personal routines and rituals become even more important. The basics matter, and everything counts. Here’s a few simple routines we can all receive benefit from. Wake up and go to bed at the same time each day. Carve out time in the morning to do something that […]

How the world has changed due to the Coronavirus! I’m grateful we were able to complete our trip to Hawaii before the Coronavirus crisis spread like the virus itself.
