  • See Me Dance

    We can think about the work of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as a metaphorical dance but life is not a metaphor. It’s a dance. And there’s much to be learned from a dance.

  • Allyship

    To be an ally, one must immerse themself in the stories and experiences of groups and individuals who identify differently. You won’t always get it right and that’s OK. Effectively amplifying another’s voice is a goal worth pursuing.

  • Sit Less. Play more. Move!

    When did playing become passé? Our bodies and brains are amazing machines. They deserve to do their best work.

  • tall buildings in baltimore city

    The Ankle Bracelet

    Homelessness. What comes to mind? I often talk about perspective through unexpected moments of human connection. Opportunity surrounds us if we open ourselves up to receiving it.

  • It’s Moon to Me

    Try this…stand in front of your mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and in your best outside voice say, “I WANT TO BE SEEN FROM THE MOON!“. How does that feel? Big? Bold? Audacious? Powerful? Just like you are… It’s 2023. It needs to be a big year. Let’s make it a big year together. […]

    Letting Go of the Banana

    The countdown has begun to welcome 2023. Let go of the banana! Sometimes we just need to let go of things so we can be free; free to see new pathways, new opportunities and new experiences.

  • Seeds of Change

    Being a parent is hard. Being a single parent is harder. Being a single parent of a young adult male during a pandemic is a test of resilience, patience, and of course, comfort zones. When I turned 18, I went off to college where I made some friends, did a bunch of dumb shit, learned […]

  • Judy

    It was an awkward moment at a Vietnamese run day spa… I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it amazing how quickly a stereotype can be triggered? Let’s start over… It was an awkward moment at a Vietnamese run day spa. An awkward moment, followed by flattery that turned deeply sad and ended with a most […]

  • A Circus Mind is the Best Medicine

    Currently, 5.3 million Americans are living with disabilities stemming from traumatic brain injury (TBI), including problems with cognition, movement abilities, sensation, and emotion. My friend Ashley is one of those 5.3 million. I met Ashley this summer at a partner acrobatics event, a sport I have a great passion for and a community I’ve been […]

    Ecstatic

    A room full of strangers seated in a circle greet me as I enter the dimly lit room. The faint smell of incense and holiday candles fills the air. He nods. She smiles. They softly whisper hello. White, black, Latino, Indian, younger, older, bigger, smaller…I’m pleased to see the spectrum of humanity and I’m curious […]

  • Sitting on Cactuses

    It’s time to start writing again. After a year of consciously challenging comfort zones, both personally and professionally, I’m welcoming the new year feeling like maybe, just maybe, the positive energy I’ve given and received in the process will serve me in ways I never imagined. I have a confession. I’m an introvert (some people […]

  • We are not created equal. Diversity is not the only goal. So let’s talk equity.

    Imagine a world where people who have the physical ability to “move” through life void of mobility challenges and/or the mental capacity to be “fully functioning” had the power to determine how life should be experienced for everyone else. Scratching your head? You are correct if you quickly concluded that this is the world we […]

  • You are not black…Enough

    A LETTER TO MY BIRACIAL CHILD Son, you ARE black. Enough has no place in this sentence. There should be no confusion about this. I know you are trying to process what is happening in our country. I know you want to speak up. Do not let anyone tell you that your voice has no […]

  • The Road to Agile Leadership – Part One: Build Trust

  • Building Organizational Muscle Memory With “What If” Exercises.

    Being a healthy organization isn’t just about the balance sheet. Just like being a healthy person isn’t about how much you weigh. A lot of hard work goes into both, a lot of trial and error, a lot of ingenuity, consistency and accountability. Recently I was preparing to present at an event, a portion of […]

  • The Wizard of Oz – A lesson in change and navigating uncertainty

    How many people are feeling like over the last few months they’ve been transported from the comfort and stability of home to an unknown world via a tornado of global events? I would imagine that’s pretty much everyone. The good news is that if we all get on the yellow brick road, navigate the obstacles […]

  • What’s Essential? Crisis competencies that stand the test of time.

    Over the past 60 days, organizations, states and countries have redefined essential work as it relates to basic human needs – food, shelter, safety and health. The need to contain COVID-19 has caused major disruption in our lives, even for organizations that are thriving due to increased demand for products and services. For our communities, […]

  • What can history’s greatest explorers teach us about COVID-19?

    Like many of history’s greatest explorers, we have had what seems like insurmountable challenges placed in front of us. From financial health to personal health, to the safety and well-being of others, charting new territory is certainly not for the faint of heart. COVID-19 has forced leaders to reevaluate how they show up for others […]
