One series in particular stayed with me longer than I expected. It follows two people who come together, and some might call that a familiar enemies-to-lover trope. But what I...

In this edition of Reconsider This, I am returning to four reflections on authority, shared responsibility, lived experience, and the leadership moments that arrive before anyone formally names us a leader.

Episode 07: The Power of I Don't Know Greetings Coach!What do you ask when a client says they don't know? My go-to question is to ask, 'If you did know, what would the answer be?'

Overwhelm Isn't Safety Through the mirror of AI, I saw what I was actually trying to do. I was trying to help clients feel safe sooner. But overwhelming someone doesn't help them feel...
