Too often I feel I am surrounded by folks terrified by honesty and accountability, and I can relate… because I mess up. A LOT. So, I have had to get really good at owning my messiness and even better at cleaning up the messes I make – unintentionally or not. I don’t always get it right of course – which creates another opportunity for me to practice OYOS – Own Your Own Shit. A clever and powerful acronym I shamelessly borrowed from a highly respected client partner of mine.

As a former 6th grade quarterback, I cannot express the true delight it is to be a part of - to be on the journey with so many phenomenal leaders reaching for more inclusion, more innovation, more performance, more possibility for all.

Pausing instead of pushing through was the right choice for me.
