When I stepped into the President role, I thought I understood what the responsibility would require.
I had spent years inside the business, starting as a retail and marketing specialist and growing through multiple leadership roles to SVP. I knew how the business worked. I knew the people. I kne...
I want to share something with you about this space, about The Pulse.
In a world where I’m constantly told to write shorter captions, be more edgy, create more scroll-stopping hooks, and chase attention on social media…this is not that space.
And that’s intentional.
I believe part of what’s happe...
Hi friends,
It's only two full weeks into the new year, and for many people, things already feel full.
Some of that fullness is exciting and motivating.New ideas. Momentum. Building what's next.
And some of it feels like you never quite get to put things down.
Not busy in the "wow, I'm getting s...
Happy New Year.
As we step into 2026, I wanted to share something I've been noticing - both in my own leadership and in conversations with many of you.
There is a lot of opportunity right now. Real opportunity. And at the same time, the pace is intense, the noise is constant, and it's easy to f...
A theme I keep hearing in conversations with leaders is this:
They can see what needs to change.They care deeply about the work and the people.But they don't feel like the things they are doing are moving things forward.
They've tried.They've spoken up.They've pushed in the right ways.
And still,...
The past couple of weekends, I've found myself leaning into something that feels almost rare these days:nostalgia.
Old-fashioned small-town holiday events.Craft fairs filled with goods from local makers.People roasting chestnuts over fire pits.Hot cider and cocoa warming cold hands.Tree ...
Plus, one simple shift to carry into the rest of 2025.
Hi friends.
As we head into Thanksgiving week, I've been thinking about all the leaders I've advised and supported this year.
And honestly?
I'm grateful.Deeply grateful.
Because there’s a different kind of leadership rising right now, stead...
Hi friend,
I'm late getting this newsletter out. Usually it hits your inbox first thing every other Sunday morning but I rewrote it several times. I edited it, messed up the formatting, Jenn helped me fix it, and I still found myself changing it again.
Why?Because this message matters.And I wa...
The best leaders I know aren’t perfect — they’re perceptive.They notice what’s off before it spirals.
I call those early signals silent leaks.They’re easy to overlook but they’re expensive.
They don’t start as crises.They start as habits and systems that once worked but no longer do.And if you do...
As leaders, we make decisions every day but every once in a while, one of them hits differently.
It's the kind that carries both risk and reward. It asks not just what you'll gain, but who you'll become because of it.
I call those high-stakes decisions. They can change the course of your busine...
As modern leaders, we’re carrying a lot—big missions, fast-changing demands, teams relying on us—all while wanting to enjoy the lives we’ve worked so hard to build.
The danger? Waiting for “someday” to really live.
That’s been on my mind since last newsletter when I shared why this is the age of ...
When I walked into the AI-Powered Women Conference at MIT last week - a space where both women and men were welcomed - I felt two things at once: curiosity… and the tug of “there’s so much to know, where do I even start?”
New tools seem to come out by the minute, with talk of agents and the best ...
