It’s bold to write this, as I’m giving you a glimpse into my soul. I’m removing the wall that we often use to protect ourselves and going “all in” on being vulnerable. I’m not a massive reader, however my 40’s changed my appetite for learning about life from multiple perspectives. I read more and for…
Two weeks ago, I presented a keynote on generations at a conference with an emphasis on Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Recorded sessions, notes and a not-too-shabby memory from recent presentations have helped me put together an important list. With the COVID-19 pandemic in…
After college, I moved to NYC for a job. Young, strong and filled with energy I embarked on an unsuccessful career with Calvin Klein (no, definitely not as a model) as a sales rep. I learned a lot selling and made very little money. I was 22, stressed and put on a pair of Stan…
