Leaders know communication is essential. But we don’t always understand the nuances of effective communication. Therefore, our teams end up occupying the same spaces without truly connecting. This leads to mistrust and missed opportunities. I wrote “Overcoming Education” to help. amzn.to/3AzsKv3

This work we get to do is infinitely important. But it is not easy. I wrote “Overcoming Education” to help. The book is designed to help leaders access their best thinking—so they can break complex challenges into small and solvable steps. amzn.to/3AzsKv3

A4. I’m trying to be better about naming what I’m thankful for. I’m guilty of feeling grateful “internally” too often. But this doesn’t necessarily mean others are feeling appreciated. I have added a daily reminder to my calendar to breathe and write a thank-you note. #TLAP
