What an annoying squirrel’s behavior taught me about leadership, unproductive thinking, and “survival” in the workplace.

Chimpanzees show us the importance of cultivating behaviors that can help us get out of “fight-or-flight” mode, get back to ourselves, and build bonds of trust that lead to healthier relationships.

Leadership is most effective when it is shared. Geese can teach us how to master the intelligence of the team and balance leading and following.

What the Universe can teach us about how to nurture the health and wellbeing of our systems – from families to businesses and communities – and the people who are part of them.

Many leaders are splintered between the need to have a firm hand and the equally important need to establish genuine relationships with their staff. Is it even possible to balance both?

Leadership can be a lonely road. The weight of the crown of responsibility begins to wear on the neck. When the head is heavy, soon the backbone gives a bit as well. Yet big decisions always await.
