The freedom to be yourself is the ultimate experience of life. The freedom of (self)awareness and authenticity. The ability to act instead of being acted upon is positive freedom.

A willingness to listen to different perspectives allows for growth, learning, unlearning and change. We are desperately in need of leadership.

From varied degrees of risk tolerance to professional and economic insecurities to fears personally and for loved ones. Most, if not all, of those uncertain thoughts and emotions are out of our control. Acknowledging that reality allows me to [...]
As we move through these unusual days, many of us are experiencing a multitude of emotions. Some leave us feeling sad, angry and impatient. We may have started to take some things for granted. Overlooking opportunities for positives in this whole experience. Today, I invite you to pause and reflect on making the invisible [...]
The true sign of vulnerability is showing up transparently, even when you are uncertain by how it will be received.
