“Mom, Your Job is Really COOL.”

At the start of the new year, the topic of “vision” is always top of mind.

In addition to some traditional favorites like hazelnut snowballs coated in powdered sugar and […]

Get Inspired on Giving Tuesday!

In a year where there have been so many challenges, Giving Tuesday gives us all the opportunity to show gratitude for all we have by helping the non-profit organizations that provide such valuable services for those who are less fortunate.     I am proud to have so many non-profit leaders as clients and guests […]

Don’t judge a podcast by its… cover?

Has anyone ever told you, “Don't judge a book by its cover”? Well, I confess, I almost did, but I'm sure glad I thought twice — and you will be too!     My guest for this week's “Speaking to Influence” episode is Jonathan Rivers, the CTO of Fortune Magazine. When I first connected with […]
