My Next Word is where I write about the private side of leadership:
the questions leaders carry, the decisions that don't resolve cleanly, and what I've learned from 40 years inside complex organizations.
​
If something resonates, it's meant to.
Two sharp leaders walk into a meeting. Each believes they are rational. Each leaves convinced the other is not. No villains. Just brains colliding at high speed.
Nix your negative self-talk. Own your accomplishments. Fight your fear. Speak your truth. Stop procrastinating. Use your voice.
Most people see leadership from the outside. They do not see the questions that leaders ask themselves privately that loop on repeat. You do not need to be braver. You need to be clearer.
If you’re an executive, peace might sound like a vacation you don’t have time to take. What if peace isn’t the reward for all your hard work, but the power source that gets you through?
Many readers find their way here through the advisory work I do with senior leaders. Others start here and later realize they want a more private place to think through their own questions.
However you came here, welcome!
